John McCain just systematically dismantled Donald Trump’s entire worldview

This "Trump" you speak of ... I don't think it's really Trump. Some sort of monster straw man, maybe.

Again, not true. And because all you are trying to do is deflect what's really happening in Trump's Admin with talk of a war with Russia, which I NEVER said, and you saying FDR was trying to avoid war, which was completely wrong. So I'll end this discussion on this.

There is no '1st step towards war' with Russia. We've never even HAD a war with Russia. Our past relations with Russia/USSR were 100x times worse then they are now. Yet we never had a war with them. Yes they are our adversaries, so we shouldn't be cozy with them, nor should we trust them. But I never mentioned a war with Russia. That's just you trying to deflect away from the fact that Trump is bending over for his buddy Putin so much that the NSA is holding back Intel because they can't even trust their own POTUS.

Sad!

I have been a proponent of a two term limit for every elected office in the US; municipal, county, state, federal, dog catcher :2razz: , everything, etc.

Voters need to realize that if politics in the US is ever going to have any hope of changing we HAVE to take the 'career' out of political office and return politics to what it actually is; public service

I have been voting third party for nearly thirty years

I agree with your comment concerning the public at large; they keep voting the typical two party system that has gotten US where we are now

I have resisted such a notion, but I do believe the good of such a change outweighs the bad now. It's only once in a great while that we might find a politician worth keeping for multiple terms. I do think term limits is the best solution now.

I would like to see US senators go back to being chosen by the state legislators, like it was before the 17th amendment also.

They know better, but have to blame someone else rather than their inept campaigning and inept candidate.

If you're in your 60's, then you know damned well how many COMPLETELY INNOCENT women, children and other non combatants have died at the hands of the United States government! Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands. Two nuclear bombs INTENTIONALLY dropped on major cities in Japan...Korea... Vietnam...

I could almost forgive a younger person considering the state of our schools, but to play the OMG card at your age is inexcusable. We are just.as.bad.

So true. Starting with president Clinton, drones and cruise missiles have killed far too many non-combatants.

If you actually look at the various writings from multiple news accounts, you can see that there are legitimate reasons for all Russia has done in the last couple decades.

They are most certainly less in the wrong than our actions in Libya a few years ago! On day one, O-bomb-a fired 112 cruise missiles into Libya. Someone please explain how all the innocent lives taken were worth it.

John McCain is increasingly mad as hell about President Trump. And on Friday, he went after Trump — hard.

During a speech at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, the Republican senator from Arizona delivered a pointed and striking point-by-point takedown of Trump's worldview and brand of nationalism.

In his speech, McCain suggested the Western world is uniquely imperiled this year — even more so than when Barack Obama was president — and proceeded to question whether it will even survive. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...umps-entire-worldview/?utm_term=.ddc3b6f6ddb6

WaPo, perhaps too hopefully, says that Senator McCain and the White House are now on a "collision course." My question is why McCain waited until he was out of the country to say what he had to say.

Because he is a fool quickly fading into well deserved obscurity.

It will be a great day when the Republican party can wave goodbye to him after thanking him for his service.
 
SenorXm/Sirius said:
Wow, just WOW.

Thank you for proving my point.

Anyway I said Putin's POLITICAL murderers. But that doesn't matter, not after your reply.

Do you really trust the media that reported such incidents?

I suppose you think the Ukraine now has a legitimate government, and didn't illegally overthrow their sitting president after he tried to deal with the Russians.

Intolerant liberals are helping out our cause. Thanks.

The student Left?s culture of intolerance is creating a new generation of conservatives

There have been several responses to campus censorship in the United Kingdom and the United States. One of the most interesting developments has been the rise in demand for conservative thought. In the United States, college tours by speakers popular with conservatives such as Milo Yiannopoulos, Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro and Christina Hoff Sommers have become huge events. There has been a spike in membership in conservative college clubs including Young Americans for Liberty, which boasts 804 chapters filled with 308,927 members.

There are often casualties of war that are regrettable. Problem is, too many are in areas not even designated as war zones. No declaration of wars, but wait.... no time to hide from those 112 cruise missiles!

Lot's of people died conveniently mysterious deaths when they threatened Clinton. No actual connections have yet been made, but when this is referenced liberals lose their minds.

It seems to me the body count next to the Clinton's is about double that of what is claimed around Putin...

I don't know that he is murderous.

How do you? Were you there?

You really should testify to a court of law somewhere!
 
Mc Cain needs to take the lead in the DUMP TRUMP movement...you know it's coming.

I wish McCain were less astute. We the Western World are in worse shape now than 2008. We are in much greater danger and the situation is disintegrating. But he did not necessarily trash Trump's world view. He diminished the view the media and the many attribut to Trump.

McCain is pissed off because he lost and President Trump won. Plus, he's an establishment guy and President Trump threatejs his very existance in the political world.

It is funny to watch people side with McCain, after wetting their pants when McCain said we would stay in Iraq for 100 years, if necessary.

John McCain has loads of issues when it comes to his views, but his views on Trump are not that over the top. He at least has the courage to stand up to the bully and chief.

McCain is nothing more than a crazy war monger trying to start **** and he is pissed that Trump doesn't share his view. It seemed that during the Obama presidency McCain was trying to start something.He is going to do the same thing again during Trump's presidency. It would be interesting to see where McCain's money comes from.I bet if elected officials had to have their sponsor's/donor's names on their suits like Nascar drivers do then McCain would probably have the whole military industrial complex all over his suit.

He probably waited until he was out of the country to say what he did because his flight might have been "delayed" or diverted due to "weather concerns" or some other means to keep him from going to the Munich Security Council Conference.

Are you suggesting that had he spoken his mind stateside, the Trump Admin would have prevented his attending the long-planned Munich conference?
 
McCain has far more political/military/policy credibility within continental Europe than Trump.

I believe McCain was trying to personally impart on European leaders the gravitas of the current [Trump] situation.

that was a very personal insult and now McCain is getting even

Courage? He was just re-elected. He can say and do anything he wants for the next 6 years. At which time he will be 86 so probably won't run again. He is a guy with both a lot of power and a lot of hate. Very dangerous for the country IMO.
