Meghan McCain hijacks own father's funeral to attack Trump and his supporters

Trumpster hasn’t one fuck to give these self-serving traitors.

bone spurs.. he has plenty

When Trump is tweeting nonsense, the Right say the people who complain are snowflakes. When the left give him back some of his medicine, they are out of line. Typical right wing hypocrites

You have no program. No platform. No solutions, besides removing this guy from office because you don't like him and his social media persona. The Left can't counter the positive things that have been done in a record short period under his management, despite being stymied by a sputtering and prohibitively expensive inquisition by a self-styled investigator (at taxpayer expensive, now in the millions), an irredeemably hostile Congress, a monolithic media that despises him and everything he does, and treason-minded Republicans like Susan Collins, Paul Ryan, and John McCain putting sticks in the gears whenever he calls on their support to pass legislation within the extremely restrictive framework of the American legislature.

The people don't care about his tweets; maybe 1% of the country reads them. The rallies, the MAGA shirts, the ongoing and strong support (which is growing) of him among his base and those in the middle repelled by the idea of abolishing ICE or granting permanent residency to illegal aliens as well as the tone-deaf cacophony blaring out of every mainstream media outlet and the hatred emanating from foreign countries towards the United States all guarantee he's getting another term and any sweeping of the house and senate in two months is a pipe dream existing only in the smokey brains of liberal think tanks, ethnic activists pushing identity politics, and the elites at CNN.

While you watch and contribute as good as nothing to the discussion. Yeah, that's a pretty good two-step we've got going on.

This is how the Left responds to everything in a nutshell. It's why you lost and why you'll lose again. You're not listening to anyone but yourselves.

I agree that listening to “only yourselves” is a big problem. Both left and right are guilty of this and I see it daily because my own life surrounds me with both sides, and most of the time there is no real dialog.

I am just tired of the mean spirited nature of it all, especially at a time of grieving (you don’t respect this particular man but many Americans do). I will debate any and all issues but hopefully not with anger
Examples of areas where I agree with Trump:
Need for law enforcement
Need for new approaches to immigration
Putting emphasis on well being of American workers
Business deregulation
Examples of areas where I differ with him:
Messing with the environment
Repealing Affordable Care Act
Always “putting down” the rest of the world
Being tolerant of racism and incivility

Recently I have concluded that (for me) character IS important, along with effectiveness. You can get too low.

In light of that, I apologize for pigeonholing you in the liberal box. It seems you're more center than the other prevailing extremes on this board.

But the lack of mature and honest dialogue or willingness to compromise you mentioned is due to an immovable agenda being pushed by the Left. 92% of media coverage of Trump, whether online, print, or television, is negative and one-sided. Virtually every guest or talking head on those shows has similar views to the anchor and the producers. I get it, it's their business model. But as long as that kind of skewed narrative overwhelms the country's media, a civil discourse at the grassroots or legislative level is impossible. Trump contributes to it, as does Fox News, but theirs is increasingly a defensive battle against a strong tide of anti-Americanism coming, sadly, from a significant portion of the American population. As long as people demonize him and anyone who supports him to the point where they're subject to jeers, taunts, or attacks just for wearing a hat with his campaign slogan on it (wrote a thread about that below), things won't improve. They'll get worse.

It's okay. The country was watching and saw who was in the front row and who got center stage media coverage when their turn came to give a speech that had little to do with the man in the wooden box and a lot to do with taking back the House in November. We've been fooled before but this time it's different. 8 years of Bathhouse Barry cured a lot of former center-left people of their romance with the Left and its destructive one-world agenda. We'll never truly control our country - only businesses and old money can do that - but having a solidly conservative supreme court and a no-nonsense, straight-talking, go-ahead-and-try-me President who's turned the old alliances on their heads, thrown out deals that hurt U.S. interests, and told tin-pot dictators that if they break his trust, he'll turn their country in a parking lot with nuclear-tipped tomahawks is good enough for me.

[Coach is Back!]

There's no "blue" wave coming. The Left could've pulled that off if their elected representatives hadn't attacked a federal agency that protects their idiotic, tone-deaf asses and demanded that it be abolished, thus costing thousands of federal workers their jobs and worsening an already-terminal illegal immigration problem the country's been struggling with for 30 years with no light at the end of the tunnel. Piling untimely moves one after the other, they've also failed to create or define a program that's easy to understand, appeals to Trump's base (for without them, they can't sweep a kitchen floor, let alone the Congress), and is an improvement on an already-roaring economy. Finally, they've gone on the record defending people who have no right to be in the country and putting their interests ahead of the people who already live here. Their one and only "trump" card is - Donald Trump's past infidelities and controversially populist statements at his rallies.

You cannot budge the American right or middle to the left with a platform that threadbare and incoherent. They have a self-admitted socialist who just took office in the Bronx and isn't even 30 years old. The party's in disarray. The media failed them two years ago and it'll fail them again as Americans increasingly tune out of the MSM and either watch Fox News or no news at all. When you turn on CNN, MSNBC, or any of the other big networks, within 5 seconds you hear the word "Trump", "Mueller," "Michael Cohen," or "Storm Daniels." It's like one endless episode of Big Bang Theory that never ends. The elites, as usual, have misread their public.

McCain was not a war hero. He was a soldier who served his country bravely and was captured, tortured, and eventually released. They don't give medals to just anyone in the military; you have to have a track record of saving peoples' lives, putting your own in danger, or being injured badly in the line of duty (which he was). As a politician, he had no scruples and sided with whichever way the prevailing wind was blowing. He was not a staunch conservative. These cheap, tasteless, and vicious attacks by his family against our President, as well as their incomprehensible snub of him while inviting former leaders, most of them liberal Democrats, to the service, is an unmistakable lurch to the gutter on the part of his family and the establishment Republicans that people rejected 2 years ago. They banned the Palins from attending, despite the fact that Sarah Palin was his VP PICK 10 YEARS AGO. Articles reviewing his memoirs mention how hurt she was by his vitriolic comments about her and how she cost him the race.

This guy even voted against MLK day in 1986 and had to suck black peoples' asses 10 years ago to try to get their votes. He was the true definition of a political con-man, a snake, and a guy skating by on a record that was never great in the first place. If Hell exists, he's certainly burning there right now for the wars he pushed so hard for and left so many injured or killed in doing.

Last night I saw a meme regarding how Nixon pardoned McCain for treason. I had to look it up to see if there was any truth and found this...

Interesting. Never heard of that bombshell. The media made no mention of it at the time. Now Trump's comments about preferring war heroes that don't get caught makes a lot more sense.

[Kwon3]

When the dust settles, history will remember that McCain's daughter used his funeral - a one-time occasion to celebrate his memory and say positive things about his resume - as an excuse to attack the guy who happened to be President at the time, and his supporters by extension with the references to "cheap" political slogans and the MAGA line.

I guess she didn't really like her father that much. As much as I didn't like the guy, there's no way his dying wish was for her to use his own funeral as a bully pulpit to challenge his own party's leader. He was old-school and would not have wanted that whatsoever. She clearly had a lot of rage bottled up in that demented brain of hers and just used this as an occasion to try to embarrass the White House instead of using it for what it was actually meant for, a tribute to John McCain.

So basically you've got nothing. Another gimmick who can't back up his own posts. Yawn.

If you'd like links/videos to support that statistic, I'd be happy to provide it. You can't have two sides coming together when one side is sitting at the bottom of the sea-saw and the other one's suspended in the air and being held hostage above the ground. It's an uneven playing field from the start.
