I stopped by on March 7 2024. First time in many years, had to update payment info. Hope all is well. Politicians suck. Bye. Posts: 9,487
So they followed protocol exactly and they are still wrong?
Remember when he ordered the flags at half staff for Billy Graham almost immediately? This administration doesn't know what protocol is. Self serving narcissist baby.
I didn't agree with several of McCain's political actions and think we lower the flag way too often, but if you lower it for Graham, get the common decency to do the same for McCain.
The war hero has long sought to bury information about POWs left behind in Vietnam.
Someone in the media imagined how awesome it would be if heaven freshman, McCain and Aretha chatted it up (ignoring that one opposed MLK day and the other's father marched with MLK) beyond the pearly gates. If when McCain finishes with Aretha he has a long line of others waiting to chat, in heaven.
It’s laughable that people here seem to believe there’s a Knight in shining armor out there in political world, not Bernie not Randy not Marco not Teddy and none on the Democrats side either keep searching he/she’s out there somewhere just not in our political spectrum...

Heaven laughable lol heaven lol yeah ok keep believing...
HANOI (Reuters) - U.S. Senator John McCain was a "symbol of his generation" who helped "heal the wounds of war" by pushing for diplomatic normalization of ties with Vietnam, the Southeast Asian country's foreign minister said on Monday.
McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam who ran for president in 2008 as a self-styled maverick Republican and became a prominent critic of President Donald Trump, died on Saturday. He was 81.
"For both the government of Vietnam and its people, Senator McCain was a symbol of his generation of senators, and of the veterans of the Vietnam war," Vietnam's foreign minister Pham Binh Minh wrote in a condolence book at the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi on Monday.
"It was he who took the lead in significantly healing the wounds of war, and normalizing and promoting the comprehensive Vietnam-U.S. partnership," Minh said.
McCain had been one of the most vocal proponents in Washington in favor of normalizing ties with Communist-led Vietnam, a former enemy of the United States.
His public relationship with the Southeast Asian country began as a naval aviator during the Vietnam War, when his plane was shot down during a bombing mission over Hanoi in 1967.
He suffered two broken arms, a broken leg, and was stabbed and beaten after being dragged from a lake on the edge of the downtown area of the city. He spent years as a prisoner of war at Hoa Lo prison - or the "Hanoi Hilton", as it was known to American soldiers.
A monument on the shores of the Hanoi lake where McCain was captured has turned into a de facto shrine to the late senator since news of his death reached Vietnam early on Sunday morning.
Both Vietnamese people and U.S. citizens in Hanoi have flocked to the grey, concrete monument to offer flowers, incense, flags and other tributes to McCain.
"Condolences to senator and war veteran John McCain, who greatly contributed to the normalization of Vietnam-U.S. relations," said one message in Vietnamese, left at the sculpture attached to a bouquet of flowers on Monday.

This article explains perfectly why I loathed the guy.
I will again point out the hypocrisy I mentioned earlier in this thread...where were the calls for 'class' from the supposed left on this board when HRC was on national TV belly laughing and saying 'we came, we saw, he died' after a leader was publicly sodomized with a bayonet in her name?
Hypocrites.
No respect for McCain the living, no respect for McCain the dead.
Has America been on the winning side of a conflict since WW2 ... I mean, you guys should be the best at war ... you've had enough practice.
Not to mention a 700 billion military budget? You quite literally suck at it ...
Kuwait/Iraq 1991? We didn’t lose in korea. Hell you could say we technically didn’t lose Vietnam since we pulled out in 1973. Iraq 2003? Panama? Grenada? The Cold War? Bosnia and Kosovo? Somalia?
I'd say we lost most of those. But it isnt a fair judgment on abilities or cost. Our goal wasnt to take over Vietnam or Korea, and the fact we tried to make it more of a policing issue than a war impact how effective it was. Even though most of those countries would say they "won," they suffered a lot more than we did. When a country has everything to lose they will fight to the end, and it just got to the point where even our politicians agreed it wasn't worth it and pulled out. But I couldn't argue we won most of those.
McCain hated Trump, and Trump hates McCain. I don't understand why anyone expects or even wants Trump to do anything. To me, it would be more respectful for him to keep his trap shut completely. Instead, everyone's forced a completely fucking insincere statement out of him.

because even your adversaries are to be respected in death in a professional manner. he can say what he wants behind closed doors, but in public, as a head of state, he should be respectful.
no one expects Trump to be an adult, but it's normal to want him to be.

Well it's not like he spat on his corpse or anything. He sent a tweet, lowered a flag for 2 days... for someone who considered himself McCain's enemy, and someone who McCain obviously hated, I think enough was done in a professional manner. It only really got unprofessional when people started hounding Trump about it. I personally found it gross to watch Trump stand up and say a bunch of shit he doesn't believe, knowing he was forced to it just to shut people up. I think that is totally disrespectful to McCain's memory (not that I'm concerned about McCain's memory.... I'm patiently waiting for the pearl clutching to end). And flipping out about "only" 2 days of a lowered flag... I think it's a bunch of silliness.

McCain was personally responsible for the deadliest fire in the history of the US Navy. That catastrophe, with 27 dead and over 100 wounded
man, you post a lot of questionable shit.
Thanks. I'll throw in something from Tapper, he got his start by being a fanboy. Did we soon forget the Keating 5? Or did I post that already?

I didn't see it, nor will I. You're right in that everyone can see through it so plainly it is painfully obvious it's completely fabricated. he really is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't here. But it's of his own doing and how he conducts himself on a tweet to tweet basis.

Sure, but he didn't actually do anything untoward when it came to McCain's death in the first place. He posted a condolences tweet, he had the WH flag lowered for the officially recommended time. That was enough from someone who McCain preemptively banned from his own funeral IMO, lol. Frankly, for once I think Trump got it right (until forced to make it bad) and everyone else got it wrong in their reaction/expectations.

Why Has John McCain Blocked Info on MIAs?
The war hero has long sought to bury information about POWs left behind in Vietnam.

Vietnam says John McCain helped 'heal the wounds of war'
