Stfu you squid

Chapo Trap House was setting themselves up to be the premier Liberals to critique President Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Majorities in 2016.


Now it's 2018 and decent people are praising Jeff Sessions for standing up against the corrupt white nationalist Russian stooge of a President that appointed him AG.

They pretend that McCain was the bad guy... which he would have been of course in another time line.

Some good eulogies on McCain:

Also, I decided to start Matt Welch's McCain: The Myth of a Maverick which so far consists of this libertarian mostly crying that McCain tried to reform campaign financing and s---.

No one is denying any of this.



You do realize that John McCain is by far and away a better person than who we have in charge now, right?

This is based on a now defunct media company & the story has one source, a supposed security guard at said factory. That story doesn’t even claim McCain blew up the factory, it claims it was the target for the U.S. bombing run that day. Can’t imagine how lonely you must feel if everyone who doesn’t agree with you politically is “detrimental to humanity.” And I’m suppose to be the radical leftist on this site lmao.

you're not a leftist, you're just very liberal

The thing about Charlie and the Chapo cult is they think all leaders are the same... they think Dubya who started the Iraq War is just as bad as McCain who wanted to keep it going who is just as bad Obama who ended the war but still bombed terrorist who wanted to k--- Americans who is just as bad as Trump who wants to use nukes, since we have them and wants to have military parades honoring himself for only getting 3 million less votes than Hillary.

Okay, my bad, he intended to blow up a bunch of civilians but crashed his plane. He was too incompetent to commit a war crime. What a guy.

Keating Five, War in Iraq, opposed MLK Day, called his wife a c----, called Vietnamese people gooks, cast the deciding vote on the tax bill that crippled the mandate that allowed Obamacare to "work", gave a platofrm to Sarah Palin who was a test case for all the nutty teapublican libertarianism to come, advocated going to war or just bombing country after country after country.

Politics aren't just some parlor game where you debate people online, Enigma. Consevatives are your enemy. War hawks are your enemy.

so i think there's something a little soulless about glib mockery in the immediate wake of someone's death but also john mccain was a vile piece of s--- and now he's dead as f---

 

Aug 26, 2018

All of this is true... except McCain changed on some things... he came around on MLK day and after Karl Rove and Bush43 used the dirty trick of a "push poll" and his adopted daughter against him in South Carolina he actually took what was a bold stance in 2000 and said that they should take down the Confederate Flag that flew over the Capitol.


McCain wasn't a very good person... but he is a d--- site better than the majority of modern day Republicans.

So, we should honor him.

 

Aug 26, 2018

I have no idea who he was and it's none of my concern, but god d--- this thread title is disrespectful af.

 

Aug 26, 2018

this doesn't make sense though
i'm sure you were kinda happy when bin laden/saddam hussein/whoever you think was "evil" or something

 

Aug 26, 2018

McCain wanted to have the power they had... I voted to stop that.

 

Aug 26, 2018

Weren’t you the one lecturing me about non-peer reviewed academic studies yet you’re here buying into poorly sourced rumors online?

Again, your black & white world view is so apparent here. The ghandis of the world come once in a life time, if that. Every politician has their faults & wrongs. I’m not about to celebrate someone’s death because they didn’t agree with me on tax reform Charlie. That’s just fucken sad. That’s not to mention you’re citing a congressional investigation McCain was cleared from & Iraq War which he has admitted was a mistake.

 

Aug 26, 2018

Didn't care for them either. Didn't even know who Hussein was until he was executed and when Bin Laden was killed I was like "huh, they finally got him"

It's still childish as f--- to make a thread regarding the death of an American politician by naming it "he died lmaoooo"
Some kind of black twitter level of cringe right there.

 

Aug 26, 2018

i don't know if this logic tracks. being a member of a party that shamelessly champions ethnic cleansing and mostly voting exactly in step with the party but being ~better~ in some vague sense is not great feat

 

Aug 26, 2018

Imagine if it was a black politician and OP wrote LOL after his death. People like enigma and Andy would be crying for a ban. This pissed me off. I’ll be waiting for another politicians death to make a thread now.

 

Aug 26, 2018

I just realized this guy compared an American presidential candidate to Bin Laden.


The f--- kind of politics do you guys have over there?
