Lest we forget:
POS Obama lowered the flag for a drug addict Whitney Houston but refused to lower the flag for American War Hero Chris Kyle.
Edit, I stand corrected. It was Gov Christie who did it. But Obama never even acknowledged or sent condolences in the death of Kyle.
I can admit when I’m wrong. It was a state who lowered for Whitney not POS Obama.

Yet another piece of shit republican. GOP senator: McCain is 'partially to blame' for controversy over White House flags
GOP Sen. James Inhofe (Okla.) on Monday said the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is "partially to blame" for the controversy over President Trump's raising and then re-lowering American flags to mark McCain's death. The White House on Monday afternoon re-lowered its flags to half staff after facing widespread pushback for returning them to full staff less than 48 hours after McCain's death on Saturday. In response to a question about the flag controversy, Inhofe, who is expected to succeed McCain as the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the former GOP presidential nominee was not "courteous" to Trump. "Well, you know, frankly, I think that John McCain is partially to blame for that because he is very outspoken," Inhofe told reporters, according to CNN. "He disagreed with the president in certain areas and wasn't too courteous about it." McCain and Trump had a publicly contentious relationship during the final years of the Arizona Republican's life. Trump reportedly nixed a statement praising McCain following his death, opting instead for a short tweet offered "respect" but not praise for the senator, who died from an aggressive form of brain cancer. However, following immense pressure, Trump released a slightly longer statement on Monday. "Despite our differences on policy and politics, I respect Senator John McCain's service to our country and, in his honor, have signed a proclamation to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff until the day of his interment," Trump said in a statement released by the White House. Trump had repeatedly mocked McCain during campaign-style rallies, even as he underwent treatment for cancer in Arizona. He took particular issue with McCain's 2017 decision to vote "no" on a bill that would have largely repealed ObamaCare. Trump, in widely criticized remarks from shortly after he launched his presidential bid, insisted McCain was "not a war hero" because he was captured and held as a prisoner of war in Vietnam for more than five years. "He's a war hero because he was captured," Trump said in 2015. "I like people that weren't captured." McCain, who reportedly reserved his harshest criticisms of Trump for private conversations, occasionally spoke out against the president's conduct. The senator made one of his most scathing statements about Trump after the president's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in July, during which Trump downplayed Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. "The damage inflicted by President Trump's naivete, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate. But it is clear that the summit in Helsinki was a tragic mistake," McCain said at the time. www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gop-senator-mccain-is-partially-to-blame-for-controversy-over-white-house-flags/ar-BBMwY9J?li=BBnb7Kz |

Look whose side trump is on - and it ain't America.
Burning in hell: Russian press sheds few tears for McCain
Moscow (AFP) - Russian pro-Kremlin media pulled no punches on Monday in condemning John McCain, who died of a brain tumour at the weekend, as Washington's "chief Russophobe".
McCain, who died aged 81 on Saturday, irked Russia with his support for pro-Western leaders in ex-Soviet Georgia and Ukraine as well as his strong backing for sanctions over Moscow's annexation of Crimea.
"McCain became the chief symbol of Russophobia," Rossiya 1 television said, adding that he "couldn't stand Russia's independent foreign policy".
McCain "adored war. If you haven't been killed yet, that's not McCain's fault. He tried," wrote pro-Kremlin tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda in a biting editorial.
Accusing the former Navy pilot of lying about being tortured while being held prisoner during the Vietnam War, the popular tabloid concluded with the hope that McCain is now burning in hell.
"Senator McCain loved the flames of war. Let's believe he'll have enough flames where his soul is resting now," it wrote.
Life News, a pro-Kremlin tabloid news site, mocked the "chief Russophobe" for his decision to publish a 2013 op-ed aimed at Russians on an obscure news site called Pravda.ru.

He apparently believed the website to be connected the once-powerful Soviet newspaper Pravda.
"Evidently no one told the senator that there had been certain changes in Russia since his time in captivity in Vietnam," it wrote.
McCain was "a convinced hawk who pecked at Russia out of principle," Rossiya 1 reported on its main news show on Sunday evening, devoting more than four minutes to the senator's life.
McCain "firmly supported all the military operations and wars that America unleashed -- Kosovo, Iraq, Libya -- if he had not twice lost presidential campaigns, everything could have been even more catastrophic," it reported.
The high-rating show included the detail that McCain "was shot down in Vietnam by a Soviet SA 75-Dvina missile complex".
While stressing McCain's contempt for President Donald Trump, the show predicted that US "attempts to restrain and isolate Russia with harsh sanctions will continue -- just now without John McCain".
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko issued a message of condolences, but none was forthcoming from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Konstantin Kosachev, the head of the Senate's international affairs committee, wrote on Facebook that McCain's "only ideology" was "protect your own and beat up the others".
However some Russian politicians showed their respects.
Leonid Slutsky, head of the lower house of parliament's foreign affairs committee, told the RIA Novosti state news agency that McCain was a "courageous and principled person".
Oleg Morozov, a member of the Senate's foreign affairs committee, on Facebook praised McCain's frankness.
"An enemy died, salute him for honest enmity, for honest hatred, for refusal to reconcile. Others dissemble. He said what he thought."

He only raised it because he pissed off the wrong people....people who obviously have more honor than him. OK i've let it go a couple of times, but you keep saying raised it in reference to them lowering it back to half staff. Dude, you are one of the most triggered people here. Just b/c you claim you are neutral and real and not triggered doesn't make it so[/quote] |

How that tunnel visioned buffoon keeps his job is beyond me. And it is also so obvious that the left personally stood behind McCain to make Trump look bad for they were willing to place him, John, on a god like level to implicitly berate the president. |

But Obama never even acknowledged or sent condolences in the death of Kyle. I can admit when I’m wrong. It was a state who lowered for Whitney not POS Obama. So to make sure - you are butt hurt over Obama not lowering the flag for Chris Kyle, but not over trump not lowering for mccain? Kyle was not well known until his death and movie. Should Obama just have the flag lowered for every death of ex-military? It would be lowered all the time. You have Obama derangement syndrome. |

Trump has put the the sanction smack down on Russia while Obama made stupid comments such as "The 1980s called and they want their foreign policy back." What a jack ass he was an dis. The only collusion with Russia was with Killary boosting plutonium reserves for Mother Russia. What could possibly go wrong? You hate America and love South America and Russia. SAD! |

townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2018/08/28/idea-meghan-mccain-for-senate-n2513375Hmm: Meghan McCain for Senate? ..... A few disclosures: I never met Sen. McCain, nor have I met Cindy, his wife. I am, however, personal friends with their daughter, Meghan. She and I were colleagues at Fox News prior to her depature for The View. Separately but relatedly, it is generally my opinion that Congressional seats and positions of political power should not be handed down from generation to generation in America. Power is not a family heirloom; it is something to be earned, with the consent of voters. Going a step further, I often feel uncomfortable with the extent to which politicians' offspring end up running for office, taking advantage of their family's "brand" and name recognition, almost as a form of quasi-incumbency. Therefore my overall counsel to Gov. Ducey, not that he'd ever seek it, would be to pick the most qualified and dynamic elected Republican (he is bound by statute to select a member of the deceased Senator's party) available -- preferably someone who has received the electorate's imprimatur in some meaningful way. This person will serve for the better part of two-and-a-half years, which is no small thing. ....... I suppose my point is that if Ducey wants to go the family route, to which I'm broadly opposed, I would prefer a millennial conservative woman be afforded that opportunity. I also believe my friend would take the job seriously, merging valuable lessons she's learned from her dad over the years with the interests of the people he's served for decades -- including shifting generational attitudes, and complicated changes within the GOP coalition. For now, though, I grieve with Meghan as she grapples with the loss of a father whom she deeply and truly adored. Rest in peace, Senator. And thank you.
