so how is trumps flippant comment on USS McCain collision playing out in media or

[msongs]

elsewhere? dont have cable tv or see anything about it on places like yahoo home page. is this disgusting remark going to just float away unmentioned by all those who support the military and the lives of missing sailors?

1. False flag created by Trump to get revenge on McCain?

The fact that it was a ship named after McCain, coupled with the comments that Trump made, makes it seem extremely peculiar don't you think?

10 American servicemen died in the line of duty and the POTUS says "that's too bad".

Fuck that asshole!

[JI7]

2. false flag ? so you don't think there was actual damage ? that there are missing people who are

likely dead ?

[Bladewire]

5. The definition of a false flag...

"A political or military act orchestrated in such a way that it appears to have been carried out by a party who is not in fact responsible."

1) Trump hates McVain because his vote made destroying Obamacare impossible

2) The McCain ship is hit

3) Trump's response today to servicemen dying on McCains ship was "that's too bad"

Draw your own logical conclusions.

Trump is a small minded vengeful pig

6. i know he doesn't give a shit about those who are hurt and lost lives. but still this conspiracy

thing is just stupid.

[Bladewire]

9. Conspiracies are for weak minded right wingers...

Draw your own conclusions

[WinkyDink]

23. Really? So Hillary was a wrong WMRW when she mentioned "A vast Right-Wing conspiracy"? Good to know.

Oh, and "Remember the 'Maine'." (The Tonkin Gulf, too.)

[whathehell]

26. No, it would be a mistake to dismiss all conspiracies as such..

Many are, but some are real, and have been proven in court. What is weak-minded is not not distinguishing between the real and the false.

4. Vessel was not named after Senator McCain.

It was named after Sen. McCain's grandfather (and father).

Here: USS John S. McCain (DDG-56).

This warship is named after John S. McCain, Sr., and John S. McCain, Jr., both Admirals in the United States Navy. John S. McCain, Sr., commanded the aircraft carrier USS Ranger, and acted as commander of the Fast Carrier Task Force during the latter stages of World War II. John S. McCain, Jr., commanded the U.S. Navy submarines USS Gunnel and USS Dentuda during World War II. Subsequently, he held a number of posts, rising to Commander-in-Chief of the United States Pacific Command before retiring in 1972. These men were the grandfather and father of Senator John S. McCain III.[2]

Just a minor correction.

7. I guarantee you, without a doubt , Trump thought it was named after John McCain

Now Trump wants us to "heel"

14. Facts and Truth matter......

Thank you for posting this.....



PS: I am certain that Trump and his followers has no idea and does not care....

[Rhiannon12866]

17. That still has to be very painful for the senator - maybe even more so.

And we've heard over and over that Trump's prime motivation is revenge.

[Hieronymus]

11. It was named after his grandfather and his father.

[Bladewire]

12. ☝️ Even worse

Trump is a small minded vengeful pig

[obamanut2012]

18. just stop

ugh

[womanofthehills]

3. 25 minutes later Trump came up with an appropriate statement

Someone in the White House probably told him to.

[Bladewire]

8. Trump gaslights & responds from all angles in a short period of time..

Trump talks out of all ends

No morals.

[Hieronymus]

10. He's a sociopath.

[Bladewire]

13. ☝️ This 🇺🇸

Fuck Trump & his fake corrupt family

[pat_k]

16. Absolutely diagnosable

15. thanks for your responses. time will tell if this turns anyone against him nt

[HipChick]

19. his staff issued a statement to cover his butt...and that's what the media are running with instead.

[barbtries]

20. it was all over twitter last night.

i don't have tv either so can't speak to that

[Trust Buster]

21. These deaths are not related to Benghazi. Why should the Wizard and his minions care ?

[WinkyDink]

22. "I like Guided-Missile Destroyers that don't get into collisions."

[Achilleaze]

25. + 1,000

Tweet this to the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief so he can lie and claim he thought it up himself.

[Vinca]

24. I just saw the clip on TV for the first time. It's clear he was clueless.

Maybe he thought John McCain had died. Someone might have told him about the incident, but in one ear out the other. If it's not about him, he doesn't really care.

[cwydro]

27. I saw it reported in the early morning hours on CNN.

Haven't seen it since. It needs widespread publicity.

[CrispyQ]

28. I'll bet the question was the first he'd heard of it.

That says so much.
