STILL have to defend our President for what he'd said about that treasonous sack of shit who:

long sought to bury information about POWs left behind in Vietnam. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/why-has-john-mccain-blocked-info-mias/

noname…has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn’t return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. …became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books. Almost as striking is the manner in which the mainstream press has shied from reporting the POW story and nn’s role in it… doesn’t talk about the missing men, and the press never asks him about them. https://archive.is/AqgMc

-2009 when he offered to sell weapons to Col. Qaddafi at a private meeting with the Libyan dictator and his son Muatassim? According to a State Department cable released by WikiLeaks, nn “assured Muatassim that the United States wanted to provide Libya with the equipment it needs for its security.” -all those friendly trips to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where he glad-handed Saudi royals? prompted the Saudis to donate $1 million to the McCain Institute at Arizona State University? Yet those of us who heard nn call for U.S. troops to occupy Iraq for “100 years”; who watched him laugh and sing “bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb” Iran; who listened to him call for an escalation of the unwinnable war in Afghanistan cannot — and should not have to — stay silent because he was diagnosed with cancer… https://web.archive.org/save/ https://theintercept.com/2017/07/27/john-mccain-fake-maverick-horrible-record/

Thorough piece (snipped bigly) The Day ~~John McCain~~ noname Got Shot Down barely passed flight school. And then crashed two airplanes and damaged a third. “My daredevil clowning had cut off electricity to a great many Spanish homes, and created a small international incident.”

By his own admission, failed to follow instructions in combat. He did not try to evade the missile. Moreover, the pilots who were flying near him, one of them with a handheld camera, said he was not hit by a SAM.  He had flown too low and was brought down by a barrage of antiaircraft fire…  And since official navy records listed (noname) as downed by AAA fire, they were puzzled by why he later insisted in his political campaigns that it was a SAM. As other pilots saw it, quite simply, had got himself shot down. But also made another error in the next four to six seconds after he was hit… failed to use the proper procedure he had been taught for ejecting. As a result, injured himself breaking both arms and his right leg. Actually, as the Vietnam Government and an American veteran living in Hanoi confirmed years later, Mai Van On, 49, a Hanoi resident, ran from the safety of his bomb shelter… tossed two bamboo poles in the water and swam out to rescue… (noname) was candid in admitting that the injuries caused by his ejection, particularly his broken knee, drove him to try to bargain with his prison interrogators.  He told them he would give them information if they took him to a hospital… signed and made taped statements that could be used as propaganda against the United States of America. VID (2:12) (Long version: youtu.be/69TmPOanfn0 ) “I also suspected that my treatment was less harsh than might be accorded other prisoners.  This I attributed to my father’s position, and the propaganda value the Vietnamese placed on possessing me, injured but alive. Later, my suspicion was confirmed when I heard accounts of other POWs’ experiences during their first interrogations… https://archive.is/GdAMS http://www.pythiapress.com/wartales/McCain-Shootdown.htm

And then there’s his pathetic wife, the “trollop cunt”: https://archive.md/oH7PV#selection-4189.0-4189.67 McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.” https://archive.md/cfUef https://theintercept.com/2017/07/27/john-mccain-fake-maverick-horrible-record/
