John McCain RIP

While the leadershiply will attract the most laughter, one must stop and marvel at the concatenation of Speaking:, followed by quotation marks and he said, just in case we didn't get the idea.

jfc @ that disastrous prose

I posted leadershiply

After Ronald Reagan—the president whom I worked for, and with—left the White House, where I worked

in case you missed it SHE WORKED IN THE WHITE HOUSE

It has a trick ending!

Roll over, Ronnie, and give de Maupassant the news!

the trick is that it didn't end soon enough

That’s parody I assume.

As a mark of respect for the memory and longstanding service of Senator John Sidney McCain III, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, on the day of interment.

I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half‑staff for the same period at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-third. DONALD J. TRUMP

now the very online libs can find a new reactionary crusade

hereunto

is it standard practice to list the Year of Independence in presidential orders??

no, the Grifter thought it wd be a nice touch

in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-third.

That's exactly the kind of self-preening the ancient Romans were exceptionally fond of.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-third. DONALD J. TRUMP INDIVIDUAL-1.

Not for nothin’, but in 2004 the Dem Prez nominee was a Vietnam war hero who devoted the rest of his life to admirable public political service; the right viciously belittled, fabricated, and mocked all of it, including his Purple Heart.

I don't fully agree with this take, but I'm sharing it for the sake of a comment.

"The logical conclusion to this episode is Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer marching into the Oval Office with McCain’s corpse between them Weekend at Bernie’s style, demanding the president show deference to a True American Hero. "

u suggesting donald spend the weekend at bernies?

fuck it was written in the quote thats a pitiable lapse

The pallbearers for Senator McCain’s memorial service Saturday: Warren Beatty, Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg, William Cohen, Stephen Dart, Rick Davis, Carla Eudy, Russ Feingold, Phil Gramm, Gary Hart, Vladimir Kara-Murza, Tom Ridge, Mark Salter, Fred Smith, Sheldon Whitehouse

Mark Salter

Couldn't remember who this guy was for a minute; had him confused with the guy from Glee who got busted for kiddie porn and then hung himself.

Feel like they should find room coffinside for Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.

OK, Beatty and Hart... I know McCain didn't work for McGovern '72. Were there some ski weekends in Aspen?

Is that Fred 'Sonic' Smith, or Fred Smith out of Television?

how is that list not a parody? and where's AOC?

I always thought William Cohen would have made a good president, but I'm sure you can all set me straight on that.

that's 15 people, how fuckin' big is his coffin?

only a journalist could argue that being a petty, mean asshole was just business as usual

Also the "let's not ask questions we know the answers to" idea is maybe not as logical as he thinks it is

apparently it's the Fred Smith who founded FedEx

i'm busy that day

that's 15 people, how fuckin' big is his coffin?

all that pundit jizz on his corpse adds a lot more weight to the coffin than you'd realise

Rob Reiner loves John McCain. I only wish he'd said that on ALL IN THE FAMILY when it mattered.

BRB, going to register as a Republican real quick so I can be feted in death for having been a slightly less shitty person than most other Republicans.

Rob Reiner loves John McCain. I only wish he'd said that on ALL IN THE FAMILY when it mattered.

what is this even supposed to mean?

my reading of it is that noted twitter failure dennis perrin wishes that at some point during 1971-1971, rob reiner, in his role as michael stivic on all in the family, should have turned to camera and delivered an impassioned speech in support of vietnam veteran john mccain so that he, noted twitter failure dennis perrin, would have been able to make a more informed decision about the artistic merit of the princess bride in light of its director's political views or some shit

it's possible that it's supposed to be funny, although personally i do not find it amusing or even particularly coherent

lol, godfuck you and your moronic priorities

sorry, should've read

noted twitter failure

lol, godfuck you and your priorities, morongazzara

it means Rob Reiner's thoughts matter about as much as yours do, bg

... but who are your favorite Twitter successes? The Prez, right?

Don't take it so personally, Morbz, not everyone is going to be receptive to Perrineal droppings.

too busy on twitter

man, the Dem admirers of Mac on my FB feed are really turning it up

McCain's strength of schedule was pretty fuckin' easy the last five years, he should have made the playoffs.

too busy on twitter

you post tweets here constantly

... but who are your favorite Twitter successes? The Prez, right?

not even twitter dot com itself, a notoriously profitless exercise since its inception, is a 'twitter success' so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

but even by any of the usual extremely pointless standards of twitter success (insight and/or wit packaged in a tight bon mot, viral appeal, number of interactions on any given post etc) dennis perrin is very bad at twitter and seems to use it primarily for hurling words straight into the sucking maw, rarely if ever to be commented upon before they disappear, never to be seen again

the man can't even dunk on john fucking mccain properly for crying out loud

OOOOOH YA GOT ME, BRAD. BURNT!

lmao xp

i'm sorry that someone you like sucks, morbs

so very indie of him, bg
