McCain warns: Dictators get started by suppressing the press

[lben]

If the media stopped inventing stories to spread lies for the sole purpose of delegitimizing the Trump administration there wouldn't be a problem. They have lied, and lied, and lied some more. Why? To make him look bad to the fools who believe the lies. Trump isn't suppressing the news. He simply wants honest, truthful reporting and that is something that America hasn't seen in decades.

What stories have 'the media' invented about Trump?

They have lied, and lied, and lied some more. Why? To make him look bad to the fools who believe the lies. Trump isn't suppressing the news. He simply wants honest, truthful reporting and that is something that America hasn't seen in decades.

He wants reporting that is ONLY flattering to him.

Tell me, when have you ever seen him admit to having made a mistake? To take responsibility for things that have gone wrong?

He doesn't. It's always someone else's fault, usually the press.

He blamed his security advisers for the mess created by his EO on immigration.

Not surprising, when is Mr.McCain going to finally announce he Democrat, he caucuses, and vote with them most of the time anyways. I hope Mr.Mccain is not tired of crusading around the world in the name of Wilsonian Democracy, and now wants to start a Democracy crusade at home, very dangerous, the executive branch been given more authoritarian powers over the years, by both parties, now John McCain all of suddenly cares.

"Most" of the time? Do you have evidence that McCain mostly votes with the Democrats?

Better late than never.

It's going to take an authoritarian abusing those powers, beyond how they already are, before congress reasserts its self

I dont think media outlets, owned by large corporations are going anywhere.

It's not so much that there going anywhere so much as people aren't believing what they say so much anymore...

 

[Landon Caeli]

McCain might as well join the democratic party... We don't want him anymore.

 

[FireDragon76]

I voted for Obama and I never saw McCain as being a disaster for our country. I just prefered Obama.

<staff edit>
I actually voted for McCain in 2008.

 

[Landon Caeli]

I used to like Shep Smith too... Not anymore.

These people (Smith and McCain) are holding on to this idea that they can narrate a collective conscience for conservatives... I have my own conscience.

He said it, that is good enough for me and the internet.

Really? Let's see the record.

I should of not said most of the time. However he is a RINO, and has been for a lot of the liberal military interventions like Haiti, Libya, Kosovo, etc., he Opposed the Bush tax cuts, he sponsored Mccain-Fiengold, he a leading advocate of Amnesty & open borders, as a member of the commerce committee he pushed Cap N Trade(Cap N Tax) style regulation, he supported the bombing of Orthodox Christians in Kosovo on behalf of Albanian Muslim Mhujideen, tearing the Serbs Holy Land away from them, he was for the Arab Spring, which has lead to a genocide & persecution of Christians across the middle east (especially in Iraq, Syria, and Egypt), Senator McCain also backed Clinton 93 & 98 bombings of Iraq, also supported Madeline Alright insane genocidal sanctions on Iraq, which caused a lot of Ill will towards us by Sunni Arabs. Senator McCain is more open to federal mandates, and regulations on business, attacking free enterprise, McCain also been given a F by the Conservative Gun Owners of America. Senator John Mccain doesn't support free speech by limiting campaign contributions, and side with the Liberals in Campaign Finance Reform.

I can go on, but you get the point, the guy should move to the Democrat party.

You left out his opposition to torture.

 

[Orthodoxjay1]

Torture is wrong in most cases, so I can't bash him for that. However his views seem very hypocritical, sanction and starve nations like Haiti, Iraq, and Russia is OK, yet it is wrong to rough up someone to prevent a wmd or near attack in a American city? Hypocritical viewpoint to say the least.

Fair enough - I agree he votes along GOP lines most of the time.

<staff edit>I pointed out he supported a lot of Clinton, and Obama liberal agenda, and has supported liberal policies.

He's been in congress since 1982. If that's all you can come up with I'm having a hard time with the idea that makes him a RINO.
