McCain could still kick his ass, even though he's dying.

recently disclosed emails, which (directing this at the dummies on this board) means irrefutable original source documents, show that McCain's staff worked with Lois Lerner at the IRS to weaponize it against nonprofits, stating that they should be audited into financial ruin.
------
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released newly obtained internal IRS documents, including material revealing that Sen. John McCain’s former staff director and chief counsel on the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee, Henry Kerner, urged top IRS officials, including then-director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner, to “audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous.” Kerner was appointed by President Trump as Special Counsel for the United States Office of Special Counsel.
The explosive exchange was contained in notes taken by IRS employees at an April 30, 2013, meeting between Kerner, Lerner, and other high-ranking IRS officials. Just ten days following the meeting, former IRS director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner admitted that the IRS had a policy of improperly and deliberately delaying applications for tax-exempt status from conservative non-profit groups.
Lerner and other IRS officials met with select top staffers from the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee in a “marathon” meeting to discuss concerns raised by both Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) that the IRS was not reining in political advocacy groups in response to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. Senator McCain had been the chief sponsor of the McCain-Feingold Act and called the Citizens United decision, which overturned portions of the Act, one of the “worst decisions I have ever seen.”
In the full notes of an April 30 meeting, McCain’s high-ranking staffer Kerner recommends harassing non-profit groups until they are unable to continue operating. Kerner tells Lerner, Steve Miller, then chief of staff to IRS commissioner, Nikole Flax, and other IRS officials, “Maybe the solution is to audit so many that it is financially ruinous.” In response, Lerner responded that “it is her job to oversee it all:”
career. He also did many good things, was a patriot and served his country his whole life.
Trump is a lowlife who is none of those things.

Just the latest evidence that Trump cultists have sold their soul.
he leans Democrat on key issues, which makes him fair game as long as he refuses to retire.
As Eli pointed out, you're just a plain hypocrite when it comes to McCain.

I don’t think the Trump cult realizes the extent to which they have mortgaged their morality for the Dear Leader.
It’s like when you guys say “your rules!” = (“our interpretation of your rules”) = “we acknowledge that we no longer operate according to any moral code.”
Someday you may see this.
Obama sat in the WH that same day with no schedule, yet you're up in arms about the name of a spending bill.

The guy is a serial liar, insulter, abuser of women, racist and so on.
Great reading people like Eli backing Trump on this. Sad

attending Scalia's funeral, which was across the street. Just one.
Let’s hear if numbnuts can be that gracious about McCain?

Orange wouldn’t do.
Honestly, you are unhinged.

not sincere.
Stop being a wack job.
That any sense of morality you once pretended to have has been replaced by whataboutism? Right?
If you didn't criticize your preferred President for an undignified breach of protocol, then that same criticism leveled at the President you oppose is hollow, to put it mildly.

because he was barely conservative and also couldn't run a campaign), and Romney (pretty good, but too ineffectual). Along the way, Democrats passed radical legislation threatening my freedom (O-care), Dems AND Repubs ran the administrative state in a way that threatened my and my fellow citizens' freedom (electronic surveillance, IRS abuse), and the Supreme Court basically sanctioned the Washington blob to grow over the United States (Ocare again), as well as infringed on my rights to practice my religion (gay marriage, where Stevens said I could not freely exercise my religion). It was also going to overrule Heller after Hillary replaced Scalia, as RBG said to Harvard.
As you can see, my "moral" code was getting me nowhere. I turned to Trump to give my country one last chance and it has worked, spectacularly so.
You do know that any good thing that yer hero has done taxes, regulations, conservative scotus is standard R doctrine and would have been enacted by any other R? In fact, Bush did all of them and even tried steel tariffs that didn’t work.
Of course without all of the other appalling shit that has come with it.

Presidents who were just bad (W), or candidates who didn't know how to win (McCain, Romney). My moral code was working against me.
Democrats have no moral code (Bubba, Hillary, and lots of what Obama did). So I don't feel so bad.

It’s quite moving.
McCain is the polar opposite of Trump.
And no one can doubt his commitment and patriotism.
Well, almost no one.
