..........................

Trump, speaking at a New York fundraising event, sarcastically referred to McCain as “one of our wonderful senators,” and referenced McCain’s key vote against a proposed repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

“ObamaCare, we got rid of the individual mandate, which is the most unpopular aspect,” Trump said. “I would’ve gotten rid of everything, but as you know, one of our wonderful senators said ‘thumbs down’ at 2 o'clock in the morning.”

............................

Trump earlier in the day did not mention McCain during his signing of the defense bill, a $717 billion piece of legislation that is officially titled the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019.

The omission sparked backlash among frequent Trump critics, including former Secretary of State John Kerry, who called it “disgraceful.”....................

In a normal world, the booing would be against Trump for going so low, but I fear they were booing McCain since Trump was at a fundraiser. damn.

5. What a vile POS

When Mueller finally nails his gigantic orange ass, everything this illegitimate regime has done needs to be undone. All of it, from EOs to his effing illegitimate justice on the Suprrmes (and preventing another one) to every proclamation and stupid order he’s produced to hurt America and the planet.

We're living in bizarro-world... In the rabbit hole big time... Mueller, save us!

7. Trump is so Stupid or has Dementia or maybe both

He blames McCain for the one vote, but what he can't see is that McCain saved the Republican Party's bacon. Remember all the angry town hall meetings and protests over the threat of repealing Obamacare? What would have happened if this bill had passed? That would have guaranteed Republican loss of the House and maybe the loss of majority in the Senate.

McCain took the hit to save the Republicans and not one of them has ever thanked him and Trump is too stupid to see this and keep his fat mouth shut.

10. I would MUCH rather have President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho...

...than the buffoon we have now.

At least President Camacho had the sense to look towards the brightest person available to solve the crises.
