John McCain Furious Obama Shot Up Orlando, Created ISIS, Bought Last Bag Of Werther’s Originals


image:
GRRRR OBAMA GRRRRRR


John McCain must really be worried about his re-election race back home in Arizona, because he’s saying stuff that sounds calculated to rile up The Base instead of making sense. Thursday, McCain said — twice — that President Barack Obama was “directly responsible” for last week’s massacre in Orlando, before later backing off and claiming he’d “misspoken.” We’re still waiting on McCain to issue a further clarification explaining he has no idea what “misspoken” actually means.

While the president was in Orlando meeting with survivors and family members of those killed in the worst mass shooting in American history, McCain told reporters in the Capitol that Obama had pretty much pulled the trigger himself:
“Barack Obama is directly responsible for it, because when he pulled everybody out of Iraq, al-Qaida went to Syria, became ISIS, and ISIS is what it is today thanks to Barack Obama’s failures, utter failures, by pulling everybody out of Iraq,” a visibly angry McCain said as the Senate debated a spending bill. “So the responsibility for it lies with President Barack Obama and his failed policies,” McCain said.



That’s some pretty impressive logicking! So what McCain is really saying is that George W. Bush also shot 49 people, because without his war of choice in Iraq, which destabilized the entire Middle East, there never would have been an ISIS to replace al Qaeda, which didn’t exist in Iraq at all until after the 2003 invasion. (Haha, we are kidding. It’s all Ike’s fault for sending the CIA to overthrow Mossadegh in Iran in 1953).

Ever the troublesome naysayers, the Associated Press points out that the shooter, Omar Mateen, did indeed claim to be working on behalf of ISIS. But he also claimed to be affiliated with al Qaeda and Hezbollah, which are both at war with ISIS in Syria. It’s almost as if the guy just rattled off the names of any radical terrorist groups that came to mind regardless of ideological consistency. (We mean Mateen, but it works for McCain, too.)

rebuilding of Georgie Bush's image,now that Trump has trashed the Rethug Party,as a fund raiser for struggling Rethug Senators. Georgie the Brain-dead,raised some 50k yesterday in Arizona for McGrumpy. Remember,McGrumpy is early stage Dementia,which is very obvious to us who have and deal with family members who suffer.

McGrumpy has a history of making stupid statements about President Obama and these statements will never end until the Guy is locked away in a padded room.

You would think with a Billion dollar bank account and seven or eight homes,one would say,screw it and enjoy things a bit. Understand his Spouse is only a stag prop and spends her time with her BBF at one of their many Abodes.

After he lost to Obama, he has shown again and again that he is really a sore loser. He ended up grudgingly making peace with GW after 2000, but he'll never get over 2008. Yes, he definitely should have retired a long time ago while he still had a shred of dignity left. Now he is just a joke.

I used to have a fair amount of admiration for him, even though I never voted for him. If he'd stopped back when he defended President Obama to that ignorant woman at his "Town Hall," he'd be remembered as a "statesman." Now he IS sounding like a cranky, bitter old man.

to get to Vietnam. He managed to get there on the fifth try and stayed there for about 5 years in prison. When he was able to finally get back to the states he ran for a Senate seat because he was a "hero".
