I blame Obama for McCainâs statement.
After all, if Obama werenât President, if Romney were President, then McCain wouldnât be blaming the President.
Is McCain angling for the VP nod from The Drumpf?
McCain is the poster child for Politicians having TERM LIMITS. Indeed.
McCain was always a devious crank. It was simply more convenient to pretend he wasnât.
Yeah. The only problem with that is that Al Qaida in Iraq wasnât even really a thing until Bush II invaded. And they could have been stopped cold if Bush had listened to the CIA. Obama was certainly too late in recognizing the threat the threat of ISIS, but if youâre looking for the genesis of ISIS you have to go back at least one presidential generation, and several more if youâre looking for the start of Al Qaida, which was under Reagan.
Mr. McCain is in an absolute panic over the thought of losing his job, without which he has been quoted as saying, âI would have nothing. Nothing.â
At this point, if Charles Mansonâs âfamilyâ included enough potential Arizona voters McCain would be demanding their release from prison, each with a full pardon.
Quite sad.
And the alcohol certainly isnât helping.
Wisdom of our WWII fathers regarding Trump:
âThe only good NaziâŚâ
It like the Republicans think if they shout loud enough about âIslamic Terrorismâ that people will forget all the homophobic* things they did that you could use to point to causation.
NB:âHomophobicâ is not the best word for their hateful anti- LGBTQ+ policies and rhetoric, but itâs the most understood. It lends a pseudo-medical cover to their hatred that nearly excuses it. I donât know of a word like racism or sexism that means âbigotry and hatred towards people who are not straightâ though.
McCain isnât insane, heâs gotten extraordinarily lazy. Since bending to the TEA Party shit in 2008 heâs just maintained the status quo of cranky republican, but now he doesnât listen to anything but the first sentence of the first report given to him on any issue and forms all of his statements from that and stick to it.
He really seems to be in a mental decline, which was already going on when he ran against Obama. Itâs unfortunate that someone who exhibits his level of reasoning still gets elected. As an aging person myself, I worry about going through what he is going through, but itâs not right to simply pretend itâs not happening.
McCain lost in 2008 and has continued losing ever since. He probably has just enough sense to be ashamed for dragging the Alaskan Ego into the public arena .It seems like heâs trying to distract people from that by constantly bad mouthing Obama. Hereâs a tip McCain: Shut-up. Nothing you can say or do will make up for turning that empty-headed idiot loose. However you can make an even greater fool of yourself by these ignorant comments you keep making.
And how do you think McCain voted when it came time for Congress to approve Bushâs Iraq War? And how has McCain voted when gun control legislation has come up for a vote? Whoâs more responsible for crazies having guns instead of psychiatric care?
Wow. He really said that? Thatâs kinda sad, actually. I mean, Iâve heard that retirement is an existential cliff for many people but McCain sounds like heâs staring into the abyss.
It doesnât have to be that way, John. Redefine yourself. While youâre at it, redefine what it means, in your mind, for something to âmatterâ. Do things you enjoy for just that reason. Do things that bring you and others you treasure closer together for just that reason. Grant yourself real freedom.
My hope is that you already know this but have just forgotten. Get the hell out of Washington while you can still remember.
No, I donât know why Iâm writing something that McCain will almost certainly never, ever read.
Wait. A very old white man said something stupid.
In other news. Water is wet.
I hope he has some kind of support network. Not just for his sake. It seems like people in the US who feel like they have nothing to live for can get a little dangerous at times.
err ummm. Obama pushed the agreed upon withdrawal date forward by several months and congress negotiated the U.S.âIraq Status of Forces Agreement which included total withdrawal of troops from Iraqi territory by 31 December 2011 and signed by President George W. Bush in 2008.
WTF?
Miso- is the usual prefix for hatred, as in misogyny or misanthrope. The problem is that homo- just means same (and it has a negative connotation when used as an abbreviation for homosexual). Misohomosexual is too long and people would be confused by the term since it sounds like youâre calling someone an addition to the term homosexual rather than a person who hates homosexuals. And homosexual is inaccurate since it implies that sex rather than romantic attraction is the primary difference between a straight person and a gay person. There are a lot of asexual straight and gay people so sex isnât the important differentiator.
Bigot isnât limited to an irrational hatred of gay people, but itâs a good general use term that would be accurate. Thatâs about the best I could suggest. Language is about communicating an idea as accurately as possible (usually at least - unless youâre Trump), so Iâd suggest using the term that most people will understand, even if it isnât technically the most accurate or precise. Though, sadly, there seem to be a lot of people who donât understand exactly what a bigot is either, but you canât be held to account for everyoneâs lack of knowledge.
