Daily Whiner-
On Saturday, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) passed away at age 81. President Trump, who has had a historically awful relationship with McCain, responded in typical Trumpian fashion: he had the White House flag lowered to half-mast for the statutory period, then rose it to full height again despite the tradition of keeping the flag lowered until a sitting senator’s burial.
Trump’s behavior is egregious and beneath the office he holds. Trump is being petty and vindictive. That’s no surprise.
His behavior is also dumb politics. Yes, his base loves it — any sign of militancy from Trump makes the base happy, particularly since many conservatives saw McCain as politically wishy-washy at best. Trump’s behavior further cements his base in opposition to the “establishment” — both George W. Bush and Barack Obama will speak at McCain’s funeral. But Trump needs to move beyond his base now. Declaring needless battles with the corpse of a sitting senator and military hero looks small and absurd. Trump’s supporters won’t go anywhere because they have nowhere else to go. But everyone else is far less likely to give Trump the benefit of the doubt as time goes on, no matter how good the economy remains. Character does matter.

Shapiro reminds me of the sensation when you get water clogged in your ears: uncomfortable, squirmy, and all wet.
Lil Ben would have had a stroke if Trump would have said he doesn’t honor traitors.
Ben needs a large dose of testosterone. That icky voice and that smarmy personality could drive anyone over a cliff if they had to be around him daily.
He talks through his nose. Probably shits through it, too.
McCain knew Obama was Moslem, but was too yellow to use it in the campaign. Oops, I mean too chicken.
It’s as if a curmudgeon and a seventh grade hall monitor mated and produced Ben Shapiro.
Speaking of his speech patterns— Hey, Ben. Periods and commas are OK to use.
Every Saturday is a good Saturday because Shapiro shuts his mouth in all media.
That Shapiro voice could worm a dog.
That Family has a serious ” Superiority Complex “, and yet Ben is 4foot 7, and Mom Jody has a Brillo pad for Hair.
President Trump’s base doesn’t think McCain was “wishy-washy.” We know he was a liberal democrat at heart and his supposed heroism was all PR. Shapiro is disgusting.
“… the tradition of keeping the flag lowered until a sitting senator’s burial.”
… is only for the Capital Building, not the White House
if you can’t argue the facts …
What a typical anti-Trump jew.
The Stupidity of Shapiro’s Anti-Trump Antics.
Little Ben’s a tag along turd. Much smaller than the rest of the turds, but still got shit out. As time goes on his struggle to remain relevant loses steam.
Erick Erickson was pissing and moaning about the flag, too. What a pack of snarling ankle-biters.
All that for a damn flag, Ben?
I wonder if this guy would be welcomed in Israel with that big fucking charlie horse in his brain?
i think shapiro is as trustworthy as mccain was
Being Jewish has nothing to do with what makes him loathsome, and I say this as the Jew many people mistakingly think I am. lol.
“Being Jewish has nothing to do with what makes him loathsome, and I say this as the Jew many people mistakingly think I am. lol”
Totally disagree. He wears his little party hat to every event he does. Sticks it out there like a badge or something. I mean no disrespect to any one other than the tag long turd.
My patience are up with this ass hat. And yes Twitter protects him. Me, not so much.
It’s too bad Shapiro is such a little asshole. I’ve watched video of him disassemble progs into tiny little pieces with a mind like a switchblade. The fact is if Trump decided to go to the funeral this twerp would be hammering him for being a two-faced hypocrite. Hell, maybe he should get the crap beat out of him sometime on a college campus. It may beat the smug douchebag out of him.
Shapiro’s a debater. He got his ass kicked doing anything else. Here’s how that works, you give Little Ben a postulate and he’ll argue the shit out of it. Why do we consider this guy among the ranks of conservatives? He’s not. He’s a debater with no regard to right or wrong.
News? Ben has been a “Tax + Spend” Bush Republican for decades; back to SamO hi! Liberals all hate Don. Ben is a life long liberal
So, wait, now Trump is being a Maverick, and now that’s bad?
