McCain’s capture may have been the result of his foolhardy piloting of that Skyhawk bomber. After his plane had its wing shot off, he bailed out, landing into a lake. He was taken to a prison cell with broken left and right arms and leg. They tortured him to get military information.
Suddenly, McCain’s cell door burst open, and “The Bug” rushed in, saying, “Your father is a big admiral. Now we take you to the hospital.” The North Vietnamese figured out that McCain’s father, Jack, was a U.S. Naval commander. They started calling McCain “The Crown Prince.”
In the midst of a temper tantrum, Me Cain lost mental control and pressed the attack.
So Nikki is using the TDS media lies in her ads, how pathetic.
At the San Diego Naval Base, I learned that base officer’s nightclub will be filled with their wives at each ship deployment. Sounds familiar with dear Nikki?
It is *exactly* to do with Trump’s comments about McCain implying his being captured was an accomplishment. It’s not about anyone else...about any other former POW than McCain.
Yes! I commented on that “Atlantic” smear article in Post #98
Is there any evidence to support this claim?
And? How does McCain control what his captors thought or did?
Why would he do that? I thank him for this service, as President Trump should have.
Again, where did he imply that?
It's easy to make that claim. It's more challanging to prove it.
Let’s remember how this was phrased:
“He’s not a war hero,” said Trump. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.””
So:
He (McCain) was not a war hero.
He (McCain) was a war hero because he was captured.
Those are two direct claims (made by someone who could have served but chose not to).
“I live people who were not captured” - So I guess VADM Stockdale, RADM Denton and the like would not be liked by President Trump?
In my opinion—not President Trump’s—ones wife’s campaign for President would normally be an all hands on deck situation. Without knowing about the disastrous drought in the Horn of Africa being complicated by the conflict in Sudan, any question would fall flat. If the South Carolina National Guard could minimize the impact of the Sudan conflict, it would be a gain in the situation. Like President Trump, I have no idea of the importance of Major Michael Haley in the mission. I don’t criticize President Trump for asking where he was and what was he doing.
I was informed that the World Food Programme (WFP) was giving much of the relief in that area. The WEP is headed by Cindy McCain. Small world.
They take his words out of context - and context is everything.
One time back in 2016, he was speaking at a rally and said “You know what they say about my supporters? They say my supporters are so loyal I could stand out on Fifth Avenue and shoot someone in broad daylight - and I wouldn’t lose a single vote!”
He was making fun of a stupid comment that some fake news pundit had made the week before - but ever since, the fake news has reported what Trump said - omitting the “They say” part - as if Trump was boasting.
Context is everything.
Fair enough. We will see it a little bit differently, but your point is reasonable.
Thank you.
Yawn. He didn’t bring up “Major Haley” he brought up Mr Haley. Furthermore, all he actually did was talk to someone screaming in the front row and said, where is he (as to indicate that he wasn’t happy being cucked) then he said, he knew (indicating thst he knew that Nikki Birdbrain was cheating on him when he was serving the country). End of story, everything else is Birdbrain trying to make Trump look like he hates the military.
Eh. They’re not what he said.
Again, the classy thing is to thank him for his service.
I hate her so much.
Just saw her tv ad (not sure if elsewhere but in Michigan) in which she wants competency test for the older candidates. Smearing Trump at the same time as the guilty Biden. Dirty dealing.
I will not forget this.
Full disclosure——my dead mother was an abusive narcissistic alcoholic.
I am probably being subconsciously triggered by the evil had Haley. Not objective.
She is contemptible.
