Pretty sure this was the only funeral of a political leader that I watched from start to finish, and it was terrific.
Think about it: McCain planned and crafted every moment of his own funeral from start to finish. He invited two former presidents and made sure to exclude Trump. His daughter Meghan was teary and terrific. G.W. was clumsy and trite (as always) but there was something likable about him. Obama stole the show with a terrific speech that was candid and heartfelt.
RIP McCain. I bet he's up there smiling at creating a resistance during his own funeral. Trump's approval ratings are in the toilet as a write this and hope it holds into the midterms.
And although u are not rude to me , I'm pretty sure if you know I was a Muslim dude as opposed to a Muslim female, you would not like me.
The point of a wall isn't to keep everyone out, it's to funnel them to the ports of entry where we can do background checks and make sure everything is on the up and up if they are seeking asylum. If a parent drags their kid across the desert, 1st, they probably aren't a good parent, 2nd they are illegally crossing our border. I don't know why it's so offensive to treat someone breaking the law like a criminal.
I'm sorry Nicole if a % of republicans have been mean or raciest towards you because of your religion or color of your skin. There's bad apples on all sides, but most would rather walk past you and never give u a second thought vs going out of their way to discriminate against you.
Honestly I don't really think he's done much positive or negative. Conservatives scream he's making America great again while finding ways to duck around his lies and his truly idiotic behavior. Liberals yell that he's burning the country down, which is obviously not happening. Neither are correct and there's so much hypocrisy on both sides.
Can we all agree to needs to get of twitter?
And I dont follow Russia's economic news, but I doubt anything Trump is doing over here is making their economy stronger.
And a 1960 draft comment...pretty lame attempt at humor I guess, but at least now all of us know you're a douchbag liberal. 25 will probably blow you once hes done molesting his kids.
LOL if we can justify Trump's non-stop tweets as it being a platform to defend himself, I better not see you, or a troll, or any of my haters here complaining when I respond to their false accusations in their attempts to "blast" me.
That is so ridiculous. If Obama tweeted like that during his presidency, you'd be non-stop about how uncouth it is.
But I think, and most of the people I've talked about it with many of which are ardent supporters, think things would be much better for him, the GOP and the country's image if he quit using it.
When Nicole1994 makes a thread, usually half the responses are off-topic, or bickering between people and the discussion gets derailed. That is why so many of her discussions have a high amount of responses.
I'm not sure why you are trying to draw parallels between Nicole1994 and Trump. If you are a Trump fan, it actually hurts your argument, as Nicole is not a part of this particular industry. So you're basically saying Trump is about as qualified to be president as Nicole1994 is to be commenting on a strip club forum.
Lol. Cool.
A businessman is way more qualified to run the country than a college girl, first off shes not old enough to be president. Having said that, I'm not personally a big fan of someone that is in their 70s or 80s making decisions for me, someone in my late 30's. At least a president is limited by 2 terms, these old ass senators and congressmen/women need to just keep dying off. I think Congress should have term limits, grandfather in anyone currently there so maybe they vote for it, but after they die off, limit their replacements to a few terms.
I feel bad for any heartbroken daughter who just lost her father ; however, IMO, Megyn McCain picked the wrong time and place for that BS. She said " People born into privilege " like she wasn't the daughter of a woman worth 100 million !
Little reported fact about McCain after he became sick is that he took that fake dossier to the FBI not knowing they already had it. He obviously didn't bother to look into it deeper or was part of it all along. Again, FUCK THAT !!
McCain was part of the swamp period .
And Fuck smug ass Obama . That worthless POS !
His hypocrisy was bad enough to match Obama's or Clintons'. He treated his one-time rival like a prince, claiming it was owed to the office, but then paid for fake information in attempt to undermine a legally elected president who he didn't like. Not McCain's first act of treason, and a clear case of sedition.
His refusal to step down while sick and unable to serve as a Senator is the clearest demonstration of his lack of character and arrogance. He may be the best argument yet for term limits for congressmen.
However, he refused to let his death interrupt his partisanship and divisive legacy. His funeral was the most (atrociously politicized event since the Correspondents Dinner. Shame on everyone who participated. Regardless of what you think of Trump, any reasonable person would agree that it would have been hard to pick a worse forum for partisan rhetoric.
General- I've got 25IQ blocked, just as his kids do (from what I understand, they hate him even more than I do). If you've become his latest hard-on I suggest you do the same. He's a weak old SJW in West Palm who makes tons of tough-guy threats from behind his keyboard, but hides behind FL senior abuse laws when you finally corner him. He's a broke and busted old man who will die penniless and alone. He's just not that worth getting worked up over.
But, that is the justification that retards use.
Let me ask you a real question in the year and a half that this man has been president has he ever visited the troops serving in war zones even once, I don’t remember any, yet McCain regularly visited the troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, and I believe in Africa as well, I mean you want to talk about whataboutism, what about that those troops he leads as COC have never seen Trump in any theatre of operation. Then we can talk about class, Bush did, Obama did, not saying Trump is a coward, but deferments for bone spurs , c’mon boy you can do better than this.
I said it is classless to use that forum to bust on our President. I didn't say anything negatively about John McCain. He didn't give his own eulogy, did he?
And as an actual military veteran, though not a hero like John McCain, I will strongly disagree with NinaBambimbo's assertion. Obama intentionally aimed to cripple our military might and is much less thought of in that regard than Trump. You may personally find him to be more insulting, but that isn't based on anything than your total dislike for the person.
That is completely untrue and based entirely on assumption. I have met people who I can't stand in personal life who I can still say respect the military.
Trump offended and hurt the feelings of a soldier's widow whose husband died in Niger, after being silent about it for almost two weeks, and then tries to disparage her feelings to make himself look good on Twitter rather than simply apologizing and trying to make things right.
He accepted a purple heart from a vet and said, "I always wanted a Purple Heart. Now I have one." (Apparently the veteran said it was a replica but Trump said it was the real thing).
Regarding McCain, in the primaries he said, "he's not a war hero," and "I like people who weren't captured."
Disparaged the Gold Star Khan family.
Chastising Gold Star families and mocking POWs is insulting the military. If you don't think it is, then YOU DON'T THINK.
How is that a typical retard response, I thought you were talking about class, how in the hell can you be such a clueless fool, I made a fair point and again you go on again about whataboutisms, that's pure unadulterated bullshit, has our president ever shown one drop of courage to this military that he is Commander in Chief of, by showing up in one single outpost, where he has MEN serving under fire, on his orders, dying on his watch. That is extremely relevant, especially for a man that has claimed John McCain was not really a "hero" because he was shot down. Like I said C'mon boy grow a spine.
Your response was typical of those that haven't got a leg to stand, on changing the subject as they always do. Anyone questions them their first response is to question your patriotism. That is McCarthyism at its finest.
Your point had nothing to do with my claim that using a eulogy to hit out at someone is classless.
And that is a prime example of why veteran mental healthcare is so important.
So we can agree to disagree about veterans mental health, which I believe should be improved, but the things I wrote about Trump were all true and I never claimed to be an expert.
Are you so obtuse to not recognize that the comment about making America great again was about Trump?
C'Mon you can't have your head buried that deep up your ass.
There were quite a few comments by others that were certainly aimed his way but not nearly as blatantly.
Look, I respect McCain's military service, but I was less impressed with his political achievements.
I will say something else though. Politics is no place for being thin skinned, and most of the politicians that got beat by Trump are showing themselves to be on the same level as Nina in that regard.
I am a woman who believes in discretion but when I messaged you asking you not to try to make people think I am Nicole, do you remember your response?
I have the screenshots saved in case you forgot.
"Please stop trying to pass pics of Nicole off as pics of me. I don't find her attractive and as a stripper, my looks are obviously one of the more important parts of my job... There are men on here who lurk and sometimes want to meet me, and I don't want them seeing that pic and thinking that thing is me because they don't know she's a troll.
I'm not quite sure if you still really think I'm affiliated with Nicole, but I am not. She is not someone I would associate with IRL, ever."
I acquiesced and agreed not to. My comment here had nothing to do with pictures.
Yet to the Establishment, such unpopularity is a badge of honor; that is, if a political figure is willing to “stand up” to the dopey masses, well, that’s a good thing. So it’s little wonder that John McCain received the John F. Kennedy “Profile in Courage” award, that annual liberal smug-fest. And now, maybe Meghan McCain will win it, too.
"Sure. I don't want to mess with anybody's livelihood. That crosses a line and isn't cool. I'm just having fun.
I hope you don't take offense to my posts. I like to stir things up a little, but it's all intended to be in fun.
And, yes I know you aren't Nicole. Known it since you first backed off the claim. You just seemed to get frustrated by it so I continued. BTW, I did believe it was you until you confessed though. That was well done."
Emphasis on you saying you didn't want to ruin anyone's livelihood and that what you did wasn't cool...
Has nothing to do with defeat. It was me trying to be a mature adult about a subject that is important in my area of work, and ask politely instead of hurl insults.
How is you posting a picture and lying and saying it's me a "win" in your book?
Real word for you all is jerks.
It’s more understandable if there’s confusion between Nicole and I being the same person. Founder said we looked like twins! :)
Thank you.
My actual twin went by Luna at the clubs we worked at together.
"BTW, nice troll thread Nina."
Please explain how in your warped perception of reality that impacts your livelihood?
Oh, wait, you were confused about it, weren't you.
Dude you were the one who brought up livelihood in the private message you sent me that I posted after you posted mine. Do you really not remember what you said to me via PM?
This, and your teen-angst "no one understands me" played out emo shit makes you look stupid... I don't believe for one second that you were joking about thinking I was the troll for so long.
You should get your head examined because obviously there is something wrong with your brain. The circuits just aren't connecting.
"Hence my JOB. My face and body are MY JOB. Get a JOB and you will understand that once you're established at your JOB, you don't want to be portrayed as someone else."
There were quite a few others before that. I think that clearly refers to your livelihood.
How am I doing that exactly?
I give up. Your utter stupidity is too damn frustrating.
I think what Trump said about McCain not being a war hero was a true statement in Trumps head, but delivered poorly in his words. Think of it this way. If you had 2 pilots. One did a bombing run and destroyed the enemy target, and one was shot down and captured, which one was more beneficial to the war effort? Which one, if you had to choose do you "like" more? I think he also was trying to make a point that McCain is the man he was because of his POW status. Had McCain completed his mission successfully, we might not know who he is today. So as morbid as this sounds, McCain being captured might have been the best thing that happened to him from a career point of view. Trumps a guy that if you punch, he unapologetically punches back, right or wrong, you don't swing at Trump unless you are ready for whats coming back at you.
Same with the Kahns. Kahn said "You have have sacrificed nothing, and no one" which is a statement that could be made about probably 99% of the population who hasn't lost a kid in combat. But he didn't say it about 99% of the population, he said it about Trump. I'm sure Trump said, who the fuck is this faggot, 1 tweet and I can make 50% of the country hate this asshole, and a day later a lot of people were saying fuck this guy. Trump's going to catch shit no matter what he does. If he apologizes the media will turn him into a pussy that backed down, so he might as well be a dickhead that never says he's sorry.
I think it was Abraham Lincoln that said, "There's 3 kinds of people, Dick's, Pussy's and Asshole's. Pussy's don't like Dick's, because Pussy's get fucked by Dick's, but Dick's also fuck Asshole's, that just want to shit all over everything"
Trump's the first Dick I see fuck so many Pussies and so many Assholes in the same day. I find it fun to watch, plus I get to keep more of my money, so win win.
You gonna tell me Louis Zamperini wasn't a war hero? Or all the other POW's?
I'm sure most POW's served honorably. But 1 act shouldn't define your entire life, but often it does. What if a POW came home and killed his family. Is he a hero or a murder? What if of one POW came home and became a Senator, and then years later he became a bad Senator? His he a hero or a bad fucking senator?
I can only imagine if Obama had suggested McCain wasn't a hero back in 08', you'd have been calling for his head.
I don't think republicans are racist.
I assumed you were since you were the one who made a stereotype about identity politics to Begin with which made me think what I did, such as when u talked about democrats the way u did( I 4got what u Said) in my post in which I stated I wore burqa 2 trump rally
Soo um...sorry for using that comment to draw further assumptions abt ur political views
Omg! XKCD is awesome!
I also think Republicans are for individual responsibility, and democrats are more for a nanny state where someone else provides what is needed to "survive" A heartless republican wants someone to get a job and earn money. Where a loving democrat wants to provide food and housing to make the person's life easier, perhaps with a hope they will get a job someday, but there are few things that really motivate them.
Republican's are more of a "sticks and stones can break my bones but works can never hurt me" kind of people. And Democrats are move of a, you can't say that, your words can cause physical harm to someone, kind of people. Or like, we shouldn't call people pretty or handsome, everyone should be called good looking. WTF, who cares, says the republican.
Finally, I think republican's are for capitalism (making money), and democrats are for socialism\communism (taking money from those that make it, to provide for those that can't make their own money).
that's what I believe because that's some behavior I've witnessed. I put a lot of liberals into bad buckets, and give conservatives a pretty wide open range. I know you've witnessed some republican's being raciest towards you, so you can believe we are all raciest, that's fine (I know you said you don't, but it's ok if you do). if someone thinks I'm raciest it doesn't really effect my day because I know I'm not. if I pigeonhole a liberal unfairly, that also doesn't effect my day, because I still don't really give a crap about anyone but my own friends and family, and I know my words don't have magic powers allowing them to manifest into actually physical harm.
