  1. More fake news. McCain was obsessed with Trump and blocking him from his funeral not vice versa. I doubt DJT thinks about McCain unless his name comes up. Just like that stupid golden showers story sounded so absurd from the get go, he doesn’t think/operate that way. But we all see who does.

  3. Obstructionist Mccain only lives in the minds of his family, his life had no further positive impact on the Nation.

    The media trying to create controversy any way they can…..even fake news from anonymous, unverified sources.

  4. And he ended up killing his Plane Captain in that hellacious fire on the USS Forrestal when his A-4 Skyhawk was blown to smithereens. As a former Plane Captain that’s what disturbs me most, he had no respect for those who served beneath him and contempt for everybody else who didn’t serve his purposes or agenda.

  5. The tarp was there on Friday the day BEFORE Trump got there. Trump arrived on Saturday and the tarp was already taken down before he got there.

    As usual,
    Megan McCain tweeted her uninformed assholish thoughts.
    Which I don’t have to link here, because I’m sure you can guess what the puffalump said. lol

    The name of USS John S. McCain was not obscured during the POTUS visit to Yokosuka on Memorial Day. The Navy is proud of that ship, its crew, its namesake and its heritage.

  7. Plumeria blooms are dogbane flower forms. Five petals fused at the base and presented on a whorl, like blades of a propeller or a pinwheel rotating counter-clockwise. The rubras come in a variety of color forms: reds, pinks and yellow creams.
