Amy Klobuchar divulged something John McCain said about Trump and it made his daughter Meghan really mad. The alacrity with which supposedly "principled conservatives" like her bend the knee to please Trump is really something else.
Says the person who mentions virtually every time she's on TV that she's John McCain's daughter.
And note...she never said that her father did NOT say that or believe that. She just doesn't want the public to know that her father said that and believed that. If that's not using your father's memory to protect Trump, I don't know what is.
I mean seriously...John McCain was a public figure for DECADES. He chose that public life. These efforts to control who can say what about him long after his passing make zero sense...unless what you mostly want is to stay on Trump's good side.

Forget Mueller and the USS John McCain, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STORY TODAY...and we should not let it slide under the radar. nytimes.com/2019/05/29/pod…
In 30 years, people will look back at 2019 and the only thing that will matter to them is, "what did you do to try to avoid the climate catastrophe that we are currently living in?"
President Trump, who has the support of all those conservatives who love Western Civilization because it brought us "science" and "reason," has decided that the world's scientists are wrong about climate change and that the US gov't will stop making projections about it.

This episode is like some Tennessee Williams play where everyone in the family agrees not to mention Cousin Cyrus around the aging patriarch for fear that it'll send him into a violent storming rage.
What I love is that the darling of the conservative "facts don't care about your feelings" crowd is such a wilting violet that his own military has to cover the name of a ship just to prevent him from succumbing to the vapors.
The whole "we love Western Civilization because of reason and science" crowd is deeply in love with the ultimate snowflake who thinks every climate scientist in the world is just a partisan hack (or a Chinese plant) out to get him.

Imagine you serve on a corporate board and you hire an investigator to look into claims that your CEO has committed crimes. The investigator says “if we could say the CEO was innocent we would. But we can’t say that.” What should that corporate board then do?
If you were an investor, would you invest in a company that responded to such an investigator’s report with a shrugging “meh?”
If you worked for that CEO, would you feel confident that you were not complicit with any actions that might make you criminally liable?

A small, immeasurably petty man, unworthy of the office he occupies.
An absolute f*cking disgrace, @DeptofDefense.

"Acting Defense Secretary @ActingSecDef Pat Shanahan was aware of the concern about the presence of the USS John McCain in Japan and approved measures to ensure it didn’t interfere with #Trump's visit." wsj.com/articles/white…
"A senior Navy official confirmed someone at the White House sent a message requesting that the USS John McCain be kept out of the picture while Trump was there.

A senior WH official also confirmed that they did not want the destroyer seen in photographs" wapo.st/2QyqyIo

.@realDonaldTrump is such a disgrace to what America stands for, John McCain banned him from his funeral. Everyone’s there—Presidents Obama, Bush, Clinton—now at the National Catherdral to honor a great American. Trump? In his safe place—watching FoxNews and tweeting propaganda.
John McCain's pallbearers – including Russian dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza, Democrat Russ Feingold, former VP Joe Biden, actor Warren Beatty, former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, William Cohen—stand in attendance at the late senator's memorial service at National Catherdral in DC
Meghan McCain went there, fiercely: “We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness—the real thing—not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly…nor opportunistic appropriation by those who lived lives of comfort and privilege

John McCain gave me one of my first, biggest moments of disillusionment with liberals. Watching Jon Stewart fellate him every night on The Daily Show, while talking about how he wanted to withhold civil rights from people like me was so eye opening.
Watching the "Rally to Restore Sanity" promote the idea that there was anything even remotely acceptable about people who would support a man like John McCain flipped a switch in my head.
At that point, I already long identified as socialist. I campaigned for Dave McReynolds. But, Jon Steward praising John McCain gave me the impetus to realize that there's really no commonalities between my own ideology and mainstream liberalism.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
