Who is this?

Post by Newt »

He graduated at the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy -- 894th out of 899, yet was admitted to flight school. (Probably had to do with both his Dad and Grandfather being Admirals)

His flight training work was likewise subpar.

After graduating, he stalled an AD-6 in Texas, and crashed into the Gulf. He then had significant difficulty with shedding his canopy during the emergency disembark routine and nearly drowned. He tried to blame his error on engine failure. Pilot mistake was cited. (Probably would have ended his aviator career, except both his Dad and Grandfather were Admirals)

He was then clowning around while flying from a carrier over Spain. He wasn't a good enough pilot to clown. He flew under powerlines, cut them with his tail and blacked out several Spanish communities as a result. It was an international incident. (Coupled with the previous incident, this would certainly have ended his aviator career, except both his Dad and Grandfather were Admirals)

After that, He was training in Virginia and had yet another plane fall out of the sky. He managed to safely eject. The Navy was unable to determine the precise cause of the accident or the degree of pilot error. He again blamed his engine. (Probably would have affected his aviator career, except both his Dad and Grandfather were Admirals)

There were other issues as well.

He was finally shot down over Hanoi when he disregarded altitude directives, and flew within well known AA range. He claims he was shot down by a missile. Fellow pilots say it was AA. As in Texas, he likely screwed up the ejection routine and was badly injured escaping the aircraft as a result.

Now his POW years were undoubtedly harrowing and horrible. But his career leading to that point was far far less than stellar. Hero due to being a POW? Call it what you will.

The guy is obviously in another tough situation now. Have to feel for him. But his recent unseemly decisions to go after Trump, even now, are either driven by personal flaws, tumor cognitive effects, or both. Either way they should drive honest conversation rather than revisionism in response.

I don't have to bash Him for his suspect military career, nor do I feel the need to offer praise for it either. Respect the man for his service? Debatable since he has disrespected it by his abuse of that status to gain favor and political office.

I will take the liberty of trashing him for his poor record as a "conservative" law maker. He, along with many others, are the poster children of why term limits should be implemented.

Those that want to praise him for his POW status, then by all means do so. However, don't hold mine or others opinions hostage just because he is a POW and served. He is the one that put it on public display for critical review, and therefore open to individual interpretation. "

He never saw a chance of war that he wasn't willing to send American troops to die.
Sadly, I voted for him. The deep state gave me no choice. The alternative was a Muslim loving USA hating traitor who got rich by helping big pharma.

Shocked! I'm truly shocked that you didn't address the subject of the post. Instead you jumped to something that may or may not happen.
However, I share your concern over companies such as ZTE and other Chinese companies that are bribing politicians to obtain our technology. If Trump falls for that then IMO he's not draining the swamp just replacing alligators with new ones.

Worried about ZTE? Its not the Chinese nor North Korea that is the biggest threat.

Updated list of Obama administration corruption and nefarious
How can one attack Russia and Putin while defending the actions of the previous administration.

-Gun running to violent gangs and subsequent coverup of murdered Mexican and US citizens with these guns

-Refusal to prosecute those engaged in voter intimidation

-Deliberate use of the IRS to target and obstruct political opposition, ultimately influencing a national election

-Passing an unpopular federal takeover of the healthcare and health insurance market using outright lies to garner support from the public

-Coverup of incompetence or outright corruption which resulted in the murder of an American ambassador and those protecting him.

-Creation and arming of a terrorist organization(s) which was used for political purposes..a terrorist organization that has murdered thousands of innocent people abroad.

-Meddling in foreign elections

-Spying on journalists

-Federal agencies hacking state election systems

-Negotiation of a phony nuclear deal with a terrorist state around Congress...that included payoffs to US government officials according to that terrorist state

-Unmarked planes dropping palates of cash to a terrorist state funding those murdering US citizens, soldiers, and citizens and soldiers of US allies.

-Justice department slush fund taken from banks as a shakedown and diverted to Democrat party support organizations

-Politicization of the FBI selectively refusing to prosecute the Democrat party Presidential candidate for obvious felonies that compromised US security. Obvious collusion between that candidate and the head of the Justice Department.

-Illegal unmasking of intelligence on political opposition and leaking that information to the media.

-Abuse of FISA courts using knowingly false information and the FBI using undercover informants to spy on political opposition

-The head of the FBI attempting to set up a sitting President using knowingly false intelligence on orders from an Obama administration holdover

Zero arrests from these crimes

No threat here folks, its the Russians!

Yeah but he gave us "Cash for Clunkers" and saved the country.

That's just the short list Newt. People don't like the truth, you simply can't fix stupid. I have to laugh at how dumb and easily manipulated sooo many people are.

BREAKING: Judicial Watch released new IRS notes revealing Senator John McCain’s former staff director & chief counsel for Senate Homeland Security – Henry Kerner – urged top IRS officials like Lois Lerner to “audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous.” (1/8)

Trump was so right about McCain. He has never been a hero. He is closer to being a traitor than a patriot.
Now you know why McCain and other never trumpers have been fighting so hard to make Trump ineffective. They knew what would happen if an outsider got a look at the cooked books.

This explains why the Republicans stopped digging, and Lois Lerner never was prosecuted.
No way he was in it alone
How about his sidekick Leslie Graham, or Cuck Ryan, or Turtle faced mcConell, and god knows who else.
Hope the orange savage sends them all the gitmo !
They all need to go to jail. Sitting/Former senators, representatives, Former attorney general and yes even former president. This is a direct attack on the foundation of this country and all involved are nothing more than treasonous fakers.

I actually hope none of them are indicted. The more unpunished lawlessness surfaces the stronger Trump gets. Trump will win over 40 states in 2020 if the establishment continues it's lawless behavior.

You are republican scum,,,This is America,,,it does not belong to trump,we will not let him give it to Putin or Korea,

Republicans are a cancer on this nation and like all the enemies who came before you and trump will be defeated,it will take 50 years at least to repair the damage done by you scum bags.

From now till America no longer exists you and the scum you represent will be known all over the world,as Child Molesstors,LIARS,THIEVES,AND MORE ESPECIALLY HIPPOCRITS.

WHEN THE WORD,,,,,,,REPUBLICAN ,,,,,,APPEARS IN ANY SENTENCE PUBLIC OR PRIVATE THAT IS THE DEFINITION THAT WILL APPEAR.

John McCain ,is a hero ,I personally don't like his politics,but,he is still a hero who served his Country,,,,,,

While the Scum you represent got deferred and has raped and pillaged America ever since he has never done anything for anyone but himself.

John Kerry,,another Hero republican scum swift boated.

Republicans always side with cowards and trash ,,but this time is much different,you have sided with North Korea,and Russia against America for a piece os scum who don't even like America.

While you have been kidnapping children,shooting others down in the streets,meeting with America's enemies planning to take down America ,keeping the press occupied ,republicans have gutted American Democracy,taking voting rights from millions stealing billions from Social Security,Medicare etc.moving factory after factory over seas ,gutting tax laws giving more and more to foreign investors.
Destroying Health Care,causing Premiums to skyrocket,farmers loosing their farms,Gas and food prices growing at unbelievable pace .

Americans are finally waking up,confronting republican scum any where,and every where,,any republican who tries to speak in public must be shouted down and shamed any trump hat,shirt etc.is fair game,,NO FISCAL VIOLENCE,,but,tell them what they are because most don't know they are scum.

This is America,,not Germany,Russia,or North Korea,

Remember,the way republicans treated the Last President,,rioting at every rally even carrying guns to intimidate Americans,,so wear your scum bags hats, shirts ,Americans need to know who is destroying Our Country,,and, nothing says Hey,I am a Child Molester,Liar,Thief,and Anti American like trump's name on a shirt,hat or bumper sticker.

If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered

The party of Auntie Maxie and Crazy Nancy fighting American citizens.
Don't forget...after the LA riots she supported Damien Williams who beat Reginald Denny for being white. Williams went to prison for his acts during the riot, then murdered someone else after his release (great guy amirite).

She also went to the acquittal party of some of his friends who got off for their acts during the riot.

Nasty, racist, violent old hag she is

Its turning into the party of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old Latina Sicialist. Venezuela is their pattern.
The commie from New York who won last night already running on impeachment.

Old white men like you and Patch are no longer wanted in the Socoalist democrat party.
Do us a favor and show up at the next big democrat rally. Don't wear your tinfoil hats, you will need a hard hat.

What! Justive Kennedy retiring......Wait..did we just move from democrats crying over children to crying because we can't kill children.
