DYSPEPSIA GENERATION

Look, prior to his capture by the North Vietnamese he was the military equivalent of Beto O’Rourke. If his father and grandfather hadn’t been Admirals he would have been passed over for promotion before he made Commander and had to go to work for a living. His main claim to fame as a Navy officer was how hard he could party and what sort of Black Sheep Squadron hijinks he could get up to.

While ie was a POW he behaved heroically, no one questions that. Sometimes people, when you step on them, prove that there’s a hard center to all that softness. But that doesn’t give you a pass for the rest of your life. And it’s the rest of his life that we’re talking about.

Once he got back, he resumed being a consummate jerk. He divorced his crippled first wife, who had kept the faith with him through his captivity, to marry a rich blonde. He ran as a solid conservative Republican in order to get elected to the Senate and then turned around and sold out his party whenever he got the notion. He was famous for being one of the chief RINOs in Washington, and for saying shit about people he didn’t like that Trump would never dream of.

Trump never said anything about McCain until after McCain had spent time bad-mouthing Trump. McCain was the source of the ‘dossier’ that sparked the Mueller investigation that has gone on for two years and cost the taxpayers millions of dollars for absolutely nothing except sending a bunch of small fry to jail for ‘process crimes’ that would never have occurred had it not been for the investigation.

Worst of all, John McCain, AFTER HAVING CAMPAIGNED ON GETTING RID OF OBAMACARE, cast the single vote that blocked Obamacare repeal BECAUSE HE WAS IN A SNIT ABOUT TRUMP. That failure has caused thousands of people millions of dollars in health care expense just because of personal pique. Whatever bad thing you can say about Trump, John McCain was just as bad, if not worse.

Sure, I’ll criticize John McCain. Call on me any time.
