John McCain: Hawkish Voice of Military-Industrial Complex, Paved Way for Trump

John McCain was an extreme war hawk who represented the military-industrial complex on Capitol Hill. And while he sometimes clashed with Donald Trump, their politics were mostly similar, and the Republican senator opened the door by normalizing Sarah Palin and the Tea Party. Ben Norton reports

    Thank you for this. I'm so sick of this idea that we can't call someone horrible out just because he/she just died ... that we have to suddenly pretend that he/she was a good person.

    Yeah, I don't remember Americans canonizing McCain's pal, Osama bin Laden when we extrajudicially assassinated him and McCain murdered thousands more than bin Laden ever did! So...jeez...what a double standard! Can we please have a moment of silence for Osama bin Laden? Sounds weird, doesn't it?

    When he bombed a purely civilian plant in the center of Hanoi, he was shot down. Luckily for him there was a Soviet military adviser, who saved him from sadistic death from Vietnamese. Later, we, Russians, got information who is he, more exactly - his parents. and how I know the methods of questioning were limited for him.

The "Bernie's message" is being heard, his plan is working! HOWEVER... "Our Revolution" is our responsibility. There are no Saviors! Just because Bernie is a Jew doesn't mean he is a miracle worker, above human frailties - grow up! There must be a peoples protest for peace, equality & representation in our government. Choice: victim or activist?
