Trump jumps shark with insane comment about McCain’s military service

Gaahhhh. Feh. OMG. No he didn’t.

But…yes, unfortunately — inevitably? — he did.

Trump managed to implode faster than, well, something that implodes really fast. Come up with your own analogies. (Post them in the comments section and we’ll have a contest.)

After riding the crest of a wave for three weeks, speaking for Mr. and Mrs. Joe America on the subject of out-of-hand illegal immigration, Trump crashed and burned in Iowa, lobbing a few seconds’ worth of campaign-ending trash talk at John McCain.

Daniel Halper had the story at Weekly Standard (h/t: Hot Air):

Speaking today in Iowa, Donald Trump attacked John McCain for being a former prisoner of war.

Trump was heard whispering in private conversation that “John McCain’s only real accomplishments were not successfully completing his mission and losing a million dollar asset (Skyhawk dive bomber) in the process.” Yet to be confirmed.

Poetic stylings of Sully

The Internet

It's here, it's there, it's everywhere,

It’s ads for beer, and underwear,

For words that slime, and hasty rhyme;

A manic place, this cyberspace,

Where chaos rules, and abusive fools,

Share fleeting pages, with gentle sages.

The Internet, is lusty sweat,

Heated chat, and granny’s cat.

It's the latest news, and words that bruise,

It's thoughts that heal, and sex appeal,

Sights of yonder, and things to ponder.

It's manic raves, and keyboard slaves,

It's a fleeting wonder, and floods down under.

What it ain't, is for the faint,

Unless they need, a healthcare feed,

Or for those who rule, and hate a tool,

That puts free speech, in people's reach,

And enables groups, away from troops.

The Super-Sized College-Curriculum Problem July 25, 2017
One of the more foolish notions in American education these days is that students should just "follow their passion" and study whatever strikes their fancy. Most colleges and universities have helped by allowing their course catalogs to expand and expand. Consequently, students often graduate after having taken a hodge-podge of courses that sounded […]

Sessions, P.S. July 25, 2017
Donald Trump’s core support is found among those who want existing immigration laws enforced, an end to state-rights nullification of federal law, and no more legal adventurism that seeks to create new laws ex nihilo. Sessions, in these regards, has been excellent. Even the thought of letting him go is already fracturing Trump’s base; his dismissal would ser […]
