Mate, we are nearly scraping the bottom of the barrel.
The Trump Presidency | Biden Inaugurated

McCain will stomp his feet, play to the cameras, give others hope then immediately side with the GOP 95% of the voting process. Charlatan like the others.
I'm talking about the rest of the speech about exceptionalism, organizing the world, portraying the myth about fighting noble wars and bring power and wealth to America. I get McCain, war is what he knows and believes in. He needs to give purpose to a life that has been filled with war I guess.
Oh come on, what do you expect? he's a Republican, but credit where it is due, he voted the right way over the healthcare bill and he has publically stood up against Trump on numerous occasions now. He's doing what he thinks is right before he goes and he loves his country. Agree with him politically or not, he has to be respected for standing up for what he believes in.
FFS!
Not sure about pro-war, but he’s definitely a proponent of the world’s most powerful state using its military, economic, and diplomatic power to engage global issues - as opposed to say isolationists like Rand Paul, Bannon et al.
McCain’s position isn’t particularly far off from Hillary’s in this regard.
Not so hard to stand up to an asshole cretin like Trump. Shame more won't, so much respect to McCain. But everyone knows he's hardcore GOP majority of the vote.
It's scary that he actually believes this shit. FML, he's out of control.
I saw some stats today, since elected he has spent 1 out of every 3 days at a Trump property and 1 out of every 4 days playing golf. But yeah, he's accomplished more than any President in history.
No, I agree, I just think he deserves some credit and hope that he inspires others to find their conscience and follow his lead.
You just know that's going to piss Trumpy wumpy off.
And some asshats will just tag him a RINO (many have when it suits so).
Then you discover that rock bottom has a basement
He's a pure war-hawk, he ran for President, he's clearly a fiscal Republican, he's right wing on nearly every single issue, and he picked Palin as his running mate. RINO really doesn't apply to McCain.John Oliver said this over a year ago now. It's frightening that he keeps going lower and lower and that he hasn't finished yet. It's even more scary to think he's normalised much of his behaviour and much he does isn't even shocking anymore.
The 'calls to families' thing will hurt him a lot if it isn't dealt with, I think. It's one of the few things that could be toxic to his support.
RINO labeling is a RWNJ defense mechanism. You have to understand the fragile psyches one is dealing with.

Oh yeah, I get that completely, and the fact that they will say/do/use anything to defend their position or justify their argument and they now have a leader that does the same so he's a perfect fit tbh.
FFS!
Check out how many times he's golfed since those guys were killed. No wonder he hasn't had time to call the families.
The fact is he doesn't care. He never did and he never will.
FFS!
Jesus Christ. He really has no heart.
He is a narcissistic sociopath. It really is that simple.
He is. But it angers me.
Mate, it angers me, it saddens me and at times it makes me want to cry. He's abhorrent, despicable, evil and just so unbelievably disgusting. The damage he is doing could be irreversible and it frightens me, but also it baffles me how people can still not see it and still defend him or make excuses for him. I'm pretty much done now, I'm Trumped out, I just hope and pray that something happens sooner rather than later that removes him from office, or that other leaders around the world get some fecking balls and all start standing up to him en masse. Although, tbf I don't hold out much hope anymore.
Nice one mate. At least you made me smile, after the last couple of months I've had, that's a bonus so thanks. Hope you love the shirt. He seems thoroughly impotent to me. I imagine the world's leaders would gladly stand up to him if they thought he was going to do anything but I think most have little interest in getting too involved in his soap opera.
When he was elected I said I felt the worst he'd do had already been done by his election itself strengthening poisonous views. I still see little reason to believe he'll achieve anything more significant.
Black one long sleeve. It looks boss.
Mrs Blaggs goes Zlatan. It says Ibrahimovic .
It's a symbol. He's a Charlatan. Ladders have been invented.
FFS!
It's like watching someone pretend to act how they believe a human being behaves.
This. I wonder how many times hes mentioned him in his speeches, because it seems he can't fecking help himself at times
Trump has just declared that he has defeated ISIS and it was all down to him. Apparently they are giving up, throwing their hands up in the air and all walking away.
Trump just ended terrorism all on his own. Hail Trump!

We've seen it before when he tweeted his 'Warmest Condolences' regarding another tragedy. Nearly, almost every English speaker knows the phrase to be 'Sincerest condolences', not something cross between what you write on Christmas Card or RSVP to a wedding invite. Why can't he get the response right? Well it's simple really, it's because he doesn't feel what we would expect anyone with compassion or empathy would feel, he simply can't say what human beings think because he has no Empathy. Call him a sociopath if you like but I prefer to think that he cannot use the mammalian brain because his reptile brain overrides all.
Warmest Hot Cross Buns.
I'm on crumpets at the mo.
This is why you shouldn't really let narcissistic sociopaths make consoling phonecalls to grieving widows.
"He had a great death, the best really, someone told me that, but you know, it's a sad thing but that's what he signed up for and maybe, I don't know, but maybe if he hadn't signed up under Obama and signed up for me this might have been avoided, but look on the bright side at least he didn't get captured and you know, tortured cos that would have been really bad for you, and for me of course, so, warmest condolences and take care now bye bye then"
The barrel will have a hole scraped through then the ground beneath will be dug up.
You know how doctors can be. Overworked, sometimes bad bedside manner, controlled by the administrators, always trying to hit government targets. That's why I prefer to have my drunk friend Jeff do all my surgery in the back of a transit van with some woodworking tools he nicked off a lorry. He's not a cookie cutter doctor.
If someone told me that was a literal transcript of the phone call I wouldn't even be surprised.
He's a bit of a joke and he says all sorts of stupid things, but he isn't actually doing much, is he? I mean all the material hurricane response is not really down to him, there's all the crap about healthcare and he isn't going to fix it, but that is a very tough nut to crack, all the stuff about N Korea is just noise I think and surely he would be reined back by Tillerson et al if he actually did have a thought to do anything stupid. He might cut taxes a bit. He won't take on gun control unfortunately. They might as well just let him go and play golf and ignore his insane ramblings like everyone else is starting to.
This can be were they bury him as he won't be wanting a Presidential library, just a micro sd card of his tweets
I'm as Anti-Trump as anyone but I don't really have a problem with a President not calling families of deceased soldiers. A President should be working on more important projects. Now Trump will be either watching TV, playing golf or tweeting so that doesn't really apply to him. But I also don't see why a deceased soldier takes presidence over a man wrongly murdered by the police and no presdient has ever called a family consoling relatives about that either. It's simply propoganda to respect dead soldiers and have the president acknowledge them more than men who have died prematurely in other walks of life. So to an extent my fellow liberals are playing team politics in this thread as I'm sure they agree with me on those points.
Now I do wonder if part of the reason this soldiers family didn't get a call was because he's a black a man. It could be because of his neo-fascist beliefs but it could equally be because he's lazy and incompetant. And let us be thankful for those latter 2 failings because his politics would be far more dangerous without them.
