GOP Sen. Inhofe: McCain ‘Partially to Blame’ for Flag Ordeal Because He Was Mean to Trump


Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) on Monday reportedly told media that the late Sen. John McCain was “partially to blame” for the ongoing ordeal in which President Trump’s White House briefly lowered its flag to half-staff to honor the late senator before raising it before eventually lowering it again. According to reporters, Sen. Inhofe assigned partial blame to McCain for the sickening spectacle because he was “very outspoken that he disagreed with the president in certain areas and wasn’t too courteous about it.”

Also, Inhofe is saying that government functions and rules should bow down to tRump's personal feelings and wishes.

That's fascism.

to honor a deceased senior senator/war hero by flying the flag at half staff because he and the senator had had disagreements. Don't you remember how Bush refused to lower the flag or comment about Paul Wellstone after he died in a plane crash in 2002, because Wellstone vocally opposed him on Iraq? Oh, wait, that didn't happen. Bush immediately expressed his condolences and had the flag lowered. Bush, for all that he was a totally lousy president, at least had better manners than Trump and more brains than Inhofe.

"take your right ear in your right hand, your left ear in your left hand, and pull your head out of your ass."

So what if he sassed His Majesty King Donald the Orange? Poor Donald got a sad. Look at all the Democrats who were on the receiving end of some McCain push-back over the years, but still managed to speak well of him after his death. Trump likes to dish it out, but cannot take it.

His supporters are emboldened because their hero acts from a place of pure narcissism and unabashed self interest. His sociopathy is infectious and it has caused these people to lay bare who they truly are and what they truly believe. No longer are they shamed into hiding their inherent racism, bigotry and self interest. Where once they feared exposure, today they act with impunity because they truly feel they are impune. Everyone else is wrong and powerless to stop them because they honestly believe they won the country in 2016 and as such they are now untouchable. I dont lnow if this is because they actually believe their and Trumps own hype or they believe that foreign influence will now and forever always ensure favorable election results.

Those of us paying attention have often saw the emperor had no clothes. Many others needed glasses. Trump and the Republicans are performing lasik surgery on a daily basis.

Even if, EVEN IF, Trump were competent at doing the job he now holds, no one as thin-skinned as this delicate little jackass has ANY business being anywhere near the Oval Office.

As soon as he tossed his hair in the ring, I said to my husband that he would never get anything done because he would be sending all his time responding to every single slight, no matter how small. He is not capable of letting an insult go unaddressed.
