Three men unfit to eulogize John McCain
The Washington Post ^ | August 31, 2018 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 09/02/2018 2:40:06 AM PDT by Trump20162020

And then there were the three who spoke on Friday. You had to control your gag reflex watching Vice President Pence, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) extol McCain’s greatness as he was accorded the honor of lying in state.

Consider Pence for a moment. He began with a ludicrous declaration that broke all records for disingenuousness: “The president asked me to be here on behalf of a grateful nation, to pay a debt of honor and respect to a man who served our country throughout his life, in uniform and in public office. It’s my great honor to be here.” President Trump despised McCain and routinely mocked him. Suggesting that Pence was there to represent Trump would require him to insult and mock McCain. Pence accepted the vice presidency and stuck with Trump despite the “Access Hollywood” tape, despite Trump’s denigration of McCain’s service, despite overt racism and contempt for human rights. He has not batted an eye over the hush-money payments to women, the attacks on the rule of law, the evisceration of decorum. Only in Washington could such a spineless creature sally forth to declare McCain a hero.

To call McCain a hero is to recognize his heroic qualities, of which Trump has none. You can worship Trump or admire McCain; it’s metaphysically impossible to do both. Meghan McCain’s glare was an appropriate reaction to Pence’s hypocrisy.

couldn’t have said it any better.

The vainglorious self-love and self-congratulations is sickening.

McConnell and Ryan are swamp critters, just the kind of creatures she should be happy with.

Oh, look at the resident phony republican, Jen Rubin, telling us how terrible some performers at the McCain memorial were.

And guess what...they are Republicans. All the crazy dems were just fine.

The woman needs to admit she’s a flaming lib.

So what came out of Obama’s and Meghan’s mouths was more appropriate somehow?

...”AMAZON and Bezos strike again
These are enemies of freedom and Deep Staters.”...

Anyone here who can, should try to access Tucker Carlson’s Friday show on FOXNEWS. He has been revealing the cultural problems we face for a while now on his show and Friday’s was on the very real problem of Big Tech Tyranny which is becoming very scary. Americans and really, people all over the world should be frightened of this. I am a Christian and I believe that the Anti-Christ will come in the last days. I realize that those who do not share my faith will laugh and set me aside for that belief. However, I wonder in my private moments whether Big Tech is actually the Anti-Christ which will ultimate destroy civilization on this planet. Look into it. Talk about the Deep State! Muller and his minions trying to destroy Trump are nothing compared to the power of Google, especially, but Face Book and the others, too. Is it too late to stop them even if governments rose up to do that?

“The woman needs to admit she’s a flaming lib.”
She writes more like a women scorned. Trump has made her (along with all of the other Fredocons’) political commentary inconsequential.

I’m not convinced he died, let alone how it was reported. If dead, was it natural, suicide or was he executed for Treason.

Songbird has always been one of the slimiest (don’t forget the Keating S&L). There’s a lot of underground rumors going on.

The Traitors have been very quiet lately. There is something happening below the radar.
