The disgusting comment about McCain was not an accident

[maxrandb]

or a leak.

This is these fuckers governing philosophy.

They wanted it out that they were mocking a man dying of cancer because their fucking base gets a fucking "woody" out of cruelty. The more cruel, the faster they jerk off.

They wanted this out there. It was not an accident.

I don't give a fuck how much they protest, deplorable shitstains voted for this prick because he promised to hurt and destroy the people they wanted to see hurt and destroyed. That's fucking it.

He promised to be a cruel asshole, and they fucking love it!

Retrumplicans govern by digging in the sewer until they find the most putrid shit... and then they keep digging to find their policies.

I for one will celebrate the day I can go piss on the grave of Retrumplicanism

1. He's striking back for being dissed on the funeral guest list

[NastyRiffraff]

2. Bingo

That was my first thought when I heard about the comment. Trump is definitely petty enough, but even he knows he can't say something like that himself.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Yup. You wrapped it up in one sentence. . . . nt

[olegramps]

18. The little bitch that trashed McCain is sucking up Trump brownie points.

There isn't one damn person in this administration that is worth one red cent. They are the scum of the earth. Each and everyone.

[Hugin]

3. It's not the first time they've gone low WRT McCain...

There were the comments during the election by Trump himself about the weakness of anyone killed, wounded, or captured in battle. I recall Trump singling out McCain by name.

The Trumpanzees HATE McCain, because... As always, Obama.

[Faux pas]

4. Kickin' for the truth!

[smirkymonkey]

5. K&R

They will have to build a wall around his grave because there are millions of people who have exactly the same idea that you do.

[C_U_L8R]

6. Apparently the leaker is some guy named John Miller

[CrispyQ]

7. One of the MSNBC shows showed a clip of Trump saying how he was going to get nasty.

He loved saying that word & said it multiple times, & his base ate it up.

This is what HRC meant by the deplorables–the ones who get off on being cruel, & hate radio & it's evil stepchild, FOX, have cultivated an entire segment of deplorables. The Jones/Moore race shouldn't have even been close.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. "Get" nasty? When was that asshole ever NOT nasty?

It's his trademark.

[CrispyQ]

10. There is not one redeeming thing about that pile of shit.

Even W at least liked his dog.

[JI7]

8. I'm not sure they purposely wanted it out there

But it is more a sign of how they speak for the person to just say it like that.

It's most likely that wasn't the only time or even the worst thing said about mccain's health. And the worst is probably come from trump.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. I don't think it was leaked deliberately, that is to say officially.

It was leaked by someone else in order to stir shit, which it did. The WH is full of terrible people who are trying to kneecap each other, so one of the other terrible people, recognizing that what terrible Kelly said would piss off a lot of people, leaked it because he/she possibly doesn't like terrible Kelly, or maybe they just like stirring shit because they are also terrible. This West Wing is "House of Cards" meets "Lord of the Flies."

12. Although she deserves every criticism she has gotten, Kelly may not have even

thought about how bad what she said was when she said it. That does say she lacks moral values, but she might have actually seen it as - yeah, but Mccain is not someone who long be speaking against Gina H., torture, or Trump. Had he simply been retiring - like Corker or Flake, the same comment could have been said without the disgusting cavalier disregard of the fact that he is dying -- and he is an American hero -- and he is actually a Republican and the former nominee of his party.

I also bet that the majority of people in that room from that administration were similarly blind to how terrible her words were. If that were not the case, someone would have reacted either verbally or non verbally -- and, if she had any decency, she would have said something to correct that it was sad he was dying.

I find it disgusting that Kelly has not backed off her words. This is something she will have to live with for decades.
This shows the depths of ugliness in that administration -- and they are letting it continue!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. If the rest of the staff - and I mean you especially, Gen. Kelly -

hadn't also been callous assholes, she'd have been taken to task for her comment, if not sacked immediately.

[maxrandb]

17. Kelly

Is a piece of amphibian shit who has used his military rank and the rotting corpse of his son to promote racism, fascism and hatred.

He's more suited to serving in some god foresaken third world country where he can freely be the type of flag officer he dreams of being.

He's a fucking shitstain on the underwear of every honorable man and woman who has ever been honored and humbled enough to be called a United States military officer.

He's an absolute disgrace. If there were justice, he would be busted down to "E-nothing" and have his pension revoked.

[GusBob]

20. Not backed off her words? Did she not call and apologize?

I read she called Megan McCain and apologized.

I may be mistaken

[karynnj]

21. I had not heard that - did that happen today?

[GusBob]

22. It was reported yesterday according to google

[bronxiteforever]

14. Agree and kick and recommend.

[lunatica]

15. Vile Diarrhea of the mouth must be standard operating procedure

in staff meeting in the White House. Trump spews it all the time, so why would it be any different for his staff?

[OliverQ]

19. And Mercedes Schlapp, wife of disgusting sycophant Matt Schlapp

says she agrees with Kelly Sandler's disgusting comment.

My loathing for these people knows no bounds. I'm so disgusted with these pieces of garbage.

[CousinIT]

23. No. It wasn't. It was intended to hurt people. It's very abusive.

Link to tweet

Abusive people will - without conscience - say hurtful things to or about people, then when called on it, insist it was a "joke" and blame the person they intentionally hurt for not "having a sense of humor". In the case of Michelle Wolf it WAS a joke, she's a comedian...

...in the case of this mouthy aide, it was NOT a joke. She MEANT what she SAID and it was not in jest. Our sense of humor is just fine. We recognize just the difference between just plain old insensitive meanness and actual humor.

And we recognize that the issue is NOT the "leak" but rather what was said and why.

When someone tells someone else: "you're too sensitive" and "you have no sense of humor" or "you just can't take a joke" after they've said something mean-ass and hurtful and inexcusably insulting, that's abuse. You DUMP that relationship.

If America has any common sense AT ALL, it will DUMP the Republican Party in the next election and for many elections thereafter after being abused by this bunch of criminal thugs in the Trump admin. NOTHING they say is a "joke". They INTEND to hurt people.
