1. They really are fucking stupid

Most of them wandered thru life not giving a fuck about politics or the world until they were 50 or 60 years old. Now they think they are experts because someone as dumb as them is President.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. So agree,

you just can not fix the Stupid and wow,we have tons of them.

These were friggin Tiger Cages designed after the cages used by the Japanese in Burma during ww2.

2. Stupidest people in the world next to the Brexit morons.

3. Guess Alicia didn't watch the Ken Burns Vietnam series.

4. Deplorables are stupid.

McCain was offered to be released if he wanted, he said no.

I can't remember why they offered to let him go though.

[KelleyKramer]

16. They wanted him to make a statement condemning...

Condemning the US actions in the war

They picked McCain because his father was a high ranking in the military (admirable I think? )

McCain said no and continued to be tortured in that hell hole prison

[SonofDonald]

19. Yup that's it, I read his book years ago

But had forgotten, thanks.

5. I found this from 2015 - Trump's earlier comment on McCain being no hero

It was written by Rep. Sam Johnson of Texas:

6. Who is this idiot, a bot?

I hope she is a bot because otherwise there is absolutely no hope for her whatsoever.

[Nevernose]

13. She apparently has an Etsy shop

Run out of Arlington, TX (which explains a whole lot). So she really IS probably that stupid and probably a real, live, human-type person.

Humanity. Yay.

[ProudLib72]

15. OMFG! Arlington, TX is where I grew up!

And I can see it's a damned good thing I moved away when I did!

8. Does everyone now see how Republicans use a soldier's sacrifice as a ploy

to control behavior to their liking?

There has to be a name for that strategy, it's so predictable.

9. I'm struggling to distinguish the satire from the derp.

Borowitz and the Onion editorial staff must be eating Prozacs out of a bowl with a spoon.

[underpants]

10. Bill Mitchell. A complete nothing who glammed onto Trump

I swear he's a caricature of Puddy from Seinfeld.

[Boomerproud]

11. Every day I see something that leaves me speechless and hopeless.

This is it for today.

[Raine]

12. too ignorant to be giving any kind of opinion

unbelievable that anyone is so stupid they actually think the Hanoi Hilton was a hotel!

[blue neen]

14. Geebus cripes.

The stupid. It burns.

[lunasun]

17. Heartless liar supported by a truly ignorant boob

18. These are pictures of Hoa Lo prison that I took in 1992 when I was in Hanoi.

It was still an active prison at the time. I was there when Senator John Kerry was leading an investigation of U.S. POWs.
President H. W. Bush had appointed him to chair it.

The prison was torn down a few months after these photos were taken.

20. The name and profile picture screams russian bot. Probably an 18 year old russian kid

Working in some mill, earning 3 bucks an hour to post nonsense all day on social media.

21. I'm hereby invoking Poe's Law.
