Remember when John McCain died and Trump refused to fly the American flag at half-staff because he didn’t like the guy? thehill.com/policy/defen...

This is only about Trump trying to rewrite history, although I hope he is also trying to assuage his tormented conscience. I doubt the latter, though.

There is a bigger headline here. Formerly absolutist, later fascist and/or communist regimes do this. East German children until 1989 went to school named after a border guard who by Stasi Reports died by a stray coming from behind.

Meaning the regime knew he was killed by their own yet buried with full honors and it was the only truth for 3 decades.

Turning an absolute traitor to this country into a hero according to the book, "How to be a Dictator," ghost written of course, though claimed to be written by trump. We all see he is turning violent traitors into his mindless lapdogs who will do his bidding, yes? This is so so dark.

Folks, I was not a fan of John McCain by any means. But any other president would’ve flown the flag at half-staff for him, regardless of party affiliation. Meanwhile this president is honoring a fucking insurrectionist.

This is wrong. John McCain was a bad dude but he was a veteran and a Senator. Every other president would’ve flown the flag at half staff regardless of party. They’re doing a funeral for Ashli fucking Babbitt.

I don't want to fall into the whole reply guy trope, so I'll stop, only saying that I find the almost universal USA reverence for people who have been employed by the armed services to be a little weird. Definitely appreciate and agree with 99% of your posts, though.

You just implied that American obsession with military is the reason a person like John McCain received honors. You have demonstrated disrespect and antipathy for 340 million people. You don’t get respect in return for that.

I'm not implying it - I'm saying it outright. John McCain was a corrupt, abusive, adulterous piece of garbage, and the fact that he was also a terrible pilot who crashed numerous planes doesn't change any of that.

You’re a POS with no understanding of which you speak. When you say no country in the world would honor a prisoner of war you are saying things that are counter factual. When you say things like this post, you deserve no respect from anyone on the internet or in the world, just so we’re clear.
