Sorry, but that USS McCain story isn't fake news

by Tiana Lowe

May 30, 2019 02:07 PM

Someone associated with the White House wanted the USS John McCain out of sight while President Trump visited Japan. This is not fake news.

Of course, the usual suspects are calling it so anyway

...................
 
But the original Wall Street Journal article which broke the story hasn't fallen apart. In fact, other news outlet have independently corroborated most of the details.

On Wednesday night, the Journal reported that, per planning with the White House Military Office and the Seventh Fleet of the Navy, a U.S. Indo-Pacific Command official emailed instructions to Navy and Air Force officials to keep the USS John McCain out of sight. The Journal did not charge Trump with ordering the removal of the ship, but three U.S. officials confirmed the existence of the email to the Associated Press, and two Navy officials confirmed to CNN that the directive did originate from the White House Military Office. Two Navy sailors told the New York Times that, unlike sailors from other American warships at the Yokosuka Naval Base, sailors from the McCain were not invited to meet with Trump. The Pacific Fleet even confirmed to CBS the Journal's assertion that the ship was covered by a tarp on Friday, although the plan was abandoned and the tarp removed by the time Trump arrived in Japan.

I don't think you understand NT's at all.  Impeachment is the hill I want to die on.
You and AOC, Kamela, but Mother Pelosi doesn't think it is  good idea.

Perhaps they will grant you a waiver, for your TDS condition.

I agree with Pelosi. A Trump impeachment circus would be great for the GOP.

Let's do it. The sooner the better.

At some point I really hope that some of these never Trumpers just take a deep breath and say "We survived Obama, we can survive Trump."

I have no doubt the nation will, it’s just a question of whether conservatism does.

I did not vote for him the first time, and living in Virginia it was easy to "stand on principles" since the electoral votes were going to Hillary no matter who I voted for. But this time around the left has shifted so far to the extreme and is now so much more vocal about it we really do need to stand together behind Trump.

Somebody noticed the McCain wasn't in Japan and tried to put two and two together, and hoping the suckers bought it.

Complete BS.

Correct.  So what is wrong with people.  NT'S that they are so full of hate...would want communism & death instead of capitalism & president TRUMP?  It boggles my mind,  having LIVED starving socialism, at one time.  I have to say some MENTAL DISORDER.  They can then complain like Venezuela.  Facts don't matter to any of them.  AOC   is just as insane.
