View Co-Host Need To Do a Better Job of Checking Meghan McCain

I think the co-hosts of The View need to do a better job of checking Meghan McCain. On today's show there was a discussion of the fact that Trump is not taking a hard line with Saudi Arabia over the disappearance of Jamal khashoggi. McCain immediately tried to turn the story into a Democrats do it also. However, that was not the worse part. McCain was allowed to only give a small version of the history of American-Saudi Arabian relations. At one point she said ever since the Clinton Administration the United States has been letting Saudi Arabia get away with bad behavior due to our need for oil. We all know that is not actually true. The United States has been letting Saudi Arabia get away with bad behavior since oil was found in that country. That happened around the 40s or 50s.

Later in that discussion McCain again tried to take blame away from Trump by claiming that President Obama has joked when Mitt Romney claimed Russia was a geo-political threat to the United States. She then went on to mention a comment President Obama made to Vladimir Putin. My thought was, who care what President Obama did regarding Putin and Russia. We are not talking about Putin, Russia, or President Obama. We are talking about Donald Trump and his lack of action concerning the likely death of a journalist who also happened to be a permanent resident of the United States. Also, as far as I know we did not have a situation with President Obama in which he failed to address the bad behavior and criminal acts of the leaders of countries due to his business interests in those countries.

the standard "What about 'isms" kick in from their supporters and apologists, almost always with false equivalencies thrown in to the word salad shooter that erupts from their tiny brains and big mouths.

Both Bushes had big oil connections and never looked sideways at the Saudis. The entire cold war was a gift to them to keep them out of the Soviet sphere.

Obama tried to work with Putin where possible without capitulating. We all remember W looked into his soul. Can't recall any Dem fawning over Putin or Saudis like 12 yo fanboys.

Obama laughed at Romney because we had a working relationship with Russia, but China & N Korea were actual present threats. With the inroads that the Dotard has encouraged, Russia is definitely a threat and Iran is back on the radar along with a China and Kim.

Ignorant Federalist, whose a piece of human SHIT. She's absolutely worthless. And if there was ever anybody who uses their head as a hat wrack, it's HER.

Now to go completely off topic, and off of Hat rack head McCain, I must admit that I enjoyed my very first episode of a Roseanne-less The Connors show We do have an opioid epidemic that's spiraling out of control all across this country. Growing numbers of people are literally killing and over medicating themselves to death to get away from physical, mental and any other kind of pain in their lives etc. via opioids and as we know, toilet-paper-in-chief doesn't give a damn about them or about opioid abuse.

Wait, isn't lying, Smelly Ann Conway or Crooked Mr. Everything Jared Kushner in charge of opioid in his hideous administration?
