We might not have agreed with his decision but you know he wasn’t just taking the popular line like so many other do. To think we could have been talking today about the death of a former President had he not made that poor decision to have Sarah Palin as his running mate in the Presidential Election against Obama!!!
RIP.
And now McCain's daughter "slams" into Trump in the eulogy dedicated to her father with reference to his "America will be great again" theme! This is the second eulogy in 24 hrs that I've heard Trump being "slammed" (ref Aretha Franklin's funeral) - unprecedented! One can conclude that Trump will never be any kinda "unifying force" for the whole of the USA (and what hope for the world eh!?) after observing his crass behaviour towards John McCain this time!! This is definitely a divided nation for obvious reasons and Trump has chosen his side, the "dark side"! I notice the "trumpet man" also withdrawing millions of dollars in aid for disaffected Palestinian families and his now "good buddy", Netanyahu (a horrible human being of an Israeli leader) endorsing the move with the his usual, righteousness and snide criticisms - a criminal who should actually be incarcerated for lotsa different crimes incl crimes against humanity and nobody in the west says anything!!! It's easy to pick on the weak and vulnerable and that is exactly what these cretons are really doing. We'll wait n see what the impact will be on the many Palestinian communities that will be affected by this latest political line. IMO at this rate we need a new "world order" to deal with a lotta this stuff humanely and with compassion and chuck this kinda political shit into the bin where it belongs!
