Shouldn’t liberals/socialists that guaranteed the Mueller report would bring down the President apologize?

No. Should the all Republicans that supported it do so as well? Please note Bob Mueller is a long standing Republican!

Liberals/socialists like you were quite happy with him before. @DeWayfarer
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@MarineBob They are All politicians! ALL sides! Long standing or not!
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
So? CNN MSNBC and the rest of you liberals/socialist sang Mueller’s virtue until you didn’t get the result you wanted. Hypocrites. @DeWayfarer
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@jackjjackson And so were quite a few Republicans and Independents. Perhaps you don't like to remember John McCain and other Republicans voted for it. There wasn't enough votes otherwise when it started.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
You were wrong. Man up @DeWayfarer
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@jackjjackson Prove me wrong. Show me the vote tally! Republicans had the majority in both House and Senate.

You were wrong on your predictions re the Mueller report and too much of a hypocrite to admit it. @DeWayfarer
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@MarineBob Agreed I have already pretty much said that. "They are ALL politicians"!
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@jackjjackson I NEVER predicted ANYTHING! In fact I rarely reply to political posts. This is an exception.

Have a good day! Bye.

Yeah, that's why he turned down a release from a hell hole in Vietnam for five years having nearly every bone in his body broken while your orange hero was playing football.

@MarineBob A "traitor" who spent five years as a POW, and refused to be released early when he could have been.

You know, Bob, when someone claims to be a Marine when they're not, that's called "stolen valor."

[quote]Beginning in August 2017 and well into the fall, a series of pro-Trump fake news web sites took aim at the reputation of Trump administration critic Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) by regurgitating an old, fabricated account of what caused a catastrophic fire aboard the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal in 1967. The naval disaster killed 134 sailors and injured 161—one of those survivors was McCain himself, who sustained minor injuries.

The web sites, several of which also defamed McCain as having been “a ‘rat’ or ‘stoolie’” during his five-and-a-half years of captivity as a POW in North Vietnam, laid out details claiming McCain was “personally responsible” for the deadly conflagration on the deck of the Forrestal.

The Navy released John McCain’s military record after a Freedom of Information Act request from the Associated Press. The record is packed with information on McCain’s medals and commendations but little else. The one thing that the McCain campaign does not want to see released is the record of McCain’s antics on board the USS Forestal in 1967. McCain was personally responsible for the deadliest fire in the history of the US Navy. That catastrophe, with 27 dead and over 100 wounded trumps McCain’s record as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam.

WMR has learned additional details regarding the deadly fire aboard the Navy aircraft carrier, the USS Forrestal, on July 19, 1967 in the Gulf of Tonkin. The additional details point to then-Lt. Commander John McCain playing more of a role in triggering the fire and explosions than previously reported.

WMR has been informed that crewmen aboard the Forrestal have provided additional information about the Forrestal incident. It is believed by many crewmen and those who have investigated the case that McCain deliberately “wet-started” his A-4E to shake up the guy in the plane behind his A-4. “Wet-starts”, done either deliberately or accidentally, shoot a large flame from the tail of the aircraft.

In McCain’s case, the “wet-start” apparently “cooked off” and launched the Zuni rocket from the rear F-4 that touched off the explosions and massive fire. The F-4 pilot was reportedly killed in the conflagration. “Wet starting” was apparently a common practice among young “hot-dog” pilots.

Copied word-for-word from a blog post originally published in 2008, [b]the text is an unholy mixture of inaccuracies and outright lies.[/b] For starters, the Associated Press’ FOIA that the post references actually revealed a slew of the military’s top awards and commendations. The post also asserts that “27 died” in the fire (there were 134 fatalities, in point of fact) and that the incident occurred on 19 July 1967 (it actually took place on 29 July). It further asserts that eyewitnesses and investigators evinced the belief that the explosion and fire were caused by McCain showing off by “wet-starting” his A-4 Skyhawk aircraft. (In pilot lingo, “wet-starting” a jet engine refers to flooding its combustion chamber with extra fuel before ignition, which usually results in a loud bang and/or plume of flame on start-up.)

There are no eyewitness accounts in the official record supporting that version of events, however. According to the U.S. Navy’s exhaustive investigation into the incident, the findings of which are summarized below in an excerpt from an article by Commander Hank Stewart, USN (Ret.), a naval engineer, [b]the fire was actually caused by the accidental firing of an Mk-32 “Zuni” rocket as a result of an electrical power surge during preparations for a strike against a target in North Vietnam: [/b][/quote]

And that's just one of the list of bullshit you posted. I found the reference in about 30 seconds, what stopped you doing the same? Oh yeah, It's okay. I know. The coward Trump dodged the draft faking injury and McCain didn't. And Trump knows it so had to try and belittle McCain because he knows what he really is..a fucking coward.

@Lila15 I'm not doubting his military duty and accomplishments,but 30+ plus years as a politician, how much has he and his family made since he was first elected.how many pay raises has he voted for himself

Different issue and I wouldn't defend him on everything in the political world, no more than I'd defend anyone for everything they ever did, even close friends. But for Trump (who is coward writ large) to say McCain isn't a hero [i]because[/i] he was a POW is revolting and a slight on every POW that ever was. Trump is disgusting. That Trump's followers to blindly accept it and not even object says more about them than it ever would McCain.

@MarineBob Please be honest and admit that the only reason you hate McCain is because his vote was why the Affordable Care Act wasn't repealed.
MarineBob · 56-60, M
My dislike for him is way before obama and affordable Care act
