I am still waiting for investigation of at least one of Clintons' foundations.
Why is Justice Department so shy to do this?
oh now Edward, such a weak attempt to deflect attention away from your boy!
by the way, it was Donald Trump who appoints the head of the Justice Department
and for two full years you had your own Republicans in control of both House, the Senate and the Presidency
so given all that control, gee, why do you suppose no investigations into the Clintons?
think hard on this one Edward, duh......

Trump intensifies attacks on McCain: 'I never was a fan of John McCain, and I never will be'
By KATIE GALIOTO 03/19/2019 12:50 PM EDT Updated 03/19/2019 01:35 PM EDT
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/03/19/trump-john-mccain-fan-1227632
President Donald Trump on Tuesday ratcheted up his attacks on the late Sen. John McCain, again lashing out at the former lawmaker for his dramatic thumbs-down vote to repeal Obamacare in 2017.
“I never was a fan of John McCain, and I never will be,” Trump told reporters while sitting next to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro in the Oval Office.
Trump accused McCain, who died of cancer in August, of changing his vote on the health care law at the last minute without notice. More than a year and a half after McCain cast his legendary vote on the Senate floor, Trump said the move made him "very unhappy."
“Our country would have saved a trillion dollars, and we would have had great health care,” Trump said Tuesday.
The president claimed McCain had campaigned on the promise of replacing Obamacare and still chose to thwart Republican efforts in 2017, a move Trump on Tuesday called "disgraceful."
Trump’s comments come days after the president railed against McCain on Twitter, claiming that he passed along to former FBI Director James Comey an explosive and largely unverified dossier compiled by an ex-British intelligence officer alleging links between Trump and Russia.
Trump also mocked McCain on Twitter for being "last in his class" at the U.S. Naval Academy. The former Navy pilot graduated from the military academy in 1958, finishing near, but not at, the bottom of his class.
Though the Obamacare vote was the peak of the pair's feud, clashes between Trump and McCain date back to the beginning of the former's presidential campaign, fed by a variety of personal and policy disagreements. Trump stirred intense controversy on the campaign trail in July 2015 when he knocked McCain by saying, “He’s not a war hero,” and that, "I like people who weren’t captured.”
McCain spent roughly five-and-half years in a notorious North Vietnamese prison, where he was repeatedly tortured.
Trump was not invited to McCain's funeral last year, and the American flag atop the White House was initially raised to full-staff in the wake of the senator's death — and was returned to half-staff in McCain's honor only after the move garnered criticism from both sides of the aisle.
Somebody better install a urinal on Trump's grave...because there will be a looooong line waiting to piss on it. I'll be fighting to be the first.

Note to Apogee - Trump is not a member of Congress.
If McCain played a role in handing the Steele Dossier (DNC oppostion research) to the FBI, then Trump is justified in his disparagement of McCain.

Edward, feel free to re-read my post above, re: the fact that Congress is out of session isn't stopping President StupidLips from spraying his mouth off.

Edward, it's arguable as to the validity of McCain's submission of that report, but Trump's disparagement of McCain goes back waaaaaaaaay before this. If ANY Democrat made those kinds of disparaging remarks to a veteran Republican, you and the rest of the GOP would be burning down their house.

I've wondered about that and if I were a journo I would go and try and dig that up. Trump is a petty thin-skinned person but somewhere and at sometime, either McCain said something or they had an encounter.

Meanwhile back to the topic, I saw AOCs approval is in negative territory off the Amazon deal. I don't see the path to her not taking a primary challenge.

Better "Low IQ Joe" than "creepy Uncle Joe". But he's just too old. The odds of a significant medical event during the campaign are simply too high to risk.
People tried to minimize or cover the HRC 9/11 fall event which seemed even scarier than the actual event.

More like ego over substance. Meh.
Still, probably 1000 times better than Individual 1.
