This is probably the first (and only) time I can side with an ES bump.

Suddenly everyone loves McCain and he's a bonafide hero.

I wasn't really into American politics back then but I can't imagine many voters who weren't staunchly Republican liking the guy.

Now suddenly moderates recognize him as hero.


I mean, sure, **** Trump, and respect a war veteran but the sudden admiration is a bit transparent.

Reporter Sarah Hashim-Waris from The Times newsroom with details on McCain's surprise visit to Syria, where he met with Free Syrian Army leaders about the country's nearly 2-year-old civil war.


Of course those like CC would LUV him...especially after him singing like a bird in all those commie propaganda things he made.

You'd have to be a fricken traitor to the whole human race.

Let's torture you for a while and see how you respond.

Nice to see he's bigger in death than he was in life.

Some Actress mentioned that Hollywierd was the only industry that held awards to honor itself for what it has achieved. Looks like DC is following down that same path only performance isn't judged, that you would lie for your country replaces treason so you get an award rather than hanging cut his life short.

There were many more to bump but I chose this simple one.


This forum was around during the 2008 Campaign and he was ripped thoroughly by the same ones who are praising him.

Democrats in 2008: "Palin? How much lower can the Republiklans go?"

Republiklans: "Hold mah beer."


And you are an OG Trumpster.

“There are Vietnamese children walking the Earth today who will die by stumbling on the landmines we planted, or unexploded ordnance we left behind. There are as-yet unborn Vietnamese babies who will enter the world with misshapen heads and giant tumors as a result of the defoliants we showered on their country 50 years ago.”

The most touching moment of John McCain’s funeral was when a Jabhat al-Nusra honor guard fired a 21 AK-47 salute as Ukrainian Nazi pall bearers solemnly filed past with his casket. Overhead a squadron of B-52s streamed red, white and blue napalm in tribute to a human rights icon.
