President Trump on Sunday criticized John McCain for a second consecutive day amid reports that an associate of the late Republican senator had shared a dossier of allegations about Trump's ties to Russia with the media.

Fox News reported that newly unsealed court filings showed a McCain associate shared the dossier with the FBI and several media outlets. The dossier contains numerous allegations, including some salacious claims, about the president's ties to Russia. Many of the allegations are unverified.

Sunday marked the second straight day that Trump went after McCain, who died last August after a lengthy battle with brain cancer.

The president on Saturday quoted former independent counsel Ken Starr, who called it a "very dark stain" that McCain had helped spread the dossier.

1. When i think shit stain i think Ken Starr, so i'm not surprised.

[olegramps]

19. The Republican Party is a criminal enterprise. Period.

[Dennis Donovan]

2. He is one classless mfer...

[brewens]

3. I thought I already knew it was McCain that was responsible for the dossier in the first

place. Is it just new news that McCain's people shared it?

[Docreed2003]

7. No..you did, we did, hell Trump did

This is just Crazy ole Donnie beating the same old tired, worn out drum for his mindless base...it's pathetic. That he's bringing this up two days in a row makes me wonder if perhaps some bombshell from the dossier is about to break

[brewens]

9. He does everything possible to make it looks like the whole thing will be legit. n/t

[riversedge]

17. Well, trumpy knows if he keeps repeating a lie, his fans will believe him. damn!!

[Scarsdale]

26. He is afraid of

"leaks" We already know he is a scumbag, nothing surprises us.

[Grammy23]

28. We can only hope for a bombshell.

Goodness knows, we’ve had plenty of bombshells but something from that dossier that is proven true AND humiliating to tRump would be sweet. Delicious. He gets antsy when things start getting too close to him so maybe that’s the case with renewed attacks on McCain.

tRump feels safe in attacking first a dying man and now a dead man. It doesn’t get much lower, but with tRump we know there is no such thing as too low. He is a despicable, pathetic excuse for human flesh who will be exposed sooner or later. Let us all hope it IS sooner.

[Docreed2003]

38. +1

Amen!

[okaawhatever]

60. The dossier itself contains the story about how McCain got it. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. And current GOP leaders still won't defend one of their own (although deceased)

Dirtbags, all of them.

[RKP5637]

10. They're all cut from the same dirt as tRump, a bag of rotten gross dirt. The GOP is

dead, now just the tRump Cult.

[JAD]

5. Did McCain agree to wear a wire for the FBI?

From accounts I have read, John McCain personally took the dossier to the FBI. Did McCain agree to wear a wire? Why else would this PeedonResident be going after McCain so long after his death?

[RKP5637]

6. tRump likes tearing into dead people because they can't respond directly back to him. Of course,

the demented ass probably forgot Senator McCain has died.

[Dave Starsky]

12. He probably thinks McCain is a pussy because he won't fight back.

He's probably feeling really powerful and cool right now.

[RKP5637]

14. Yeah, probably is, the guy is a sick moron. n/t

[klook]

8. You stay classy, Donald! (nt)

[MartyTheGreek]

11. Meagan McCain should Tweet back what's true so far in the Dossier...

-Like TT Moscow... It was a thing and partly why Cohen is going to jail
-Like TT NY meeting with ruskies
-Party platform changes and others...

Steele never said the report was 100% accurate. He gave it about a 75-85% if I remember correctly.

[SunSeeker]

22. Literally none of the Dossier has been disproven.

And with each passing day, more and more of it has been corroborated.

[mr_lebowski]

31. June 2016 TT meeting with Manafort/Jr/Ruskies not in the Dossier ...

Just sayin' ...

[MartyTheGreek]

34. But the TT NY MTG Was About Sanctions...

...relief and TT Moscow was the prize.

[mr_lebowski]

37. Fair enough, nevertheless the Steele Dossier doesn't mention that meeting ...

I also think 'help in the election' was definitely part of the prize, too. Hence the 'dirt', which ended up released by DCLeaks and then Wikileaks shortly after the meeting.

I just didn't want anyone to get into a argument w/a RWNJ some time and get their argument blown up when they throw a mistake out there

Not that I have personal experience with this or anything ... lol ...

[Florida Bull]

13. How would Trump know McCain's grades?

Did somebody illegally leak them to him? And, why is Trump afraid of us learning about his grades?

Regardless, John McCain is smarter, has real courage, and would never sell out his country. He was tortured as a POW for years, while Trump was apparently faking bone spurs. Like a good poodle, Trump refuses to even criticize Vladimir Putin.

Something is wrong with “Conservatives” who think Donald Trump is a better leader than John McCain.

[Demit]

15. Not his grades, but his class rank.

It's a widely-circulated fact that McCain graduated fifth from the bottom of his class (894th out of 899).

[Florida Bull]

18. I did not know

I did not know exact class rankings are public record. But, I think exact “last in his class,” would technically be last place.

[True Blue American]

30. I think Mc Cain has said that.

GW Bush often said he was a “ C” student.

[Florida Bull]

33. If anything,

That is another sign of courage. He was willing to admit his mistakes.

[Demit]

36. Yes, Trump exaggerated. Hard to believe, I know.

[LiberalLovinLug]

48. Megan McCain is lost to the disease of Republicanism

It is pathetically jaw dropping to watch her on the View every day trying to defend Republicans. The same Republicans that do not ever run to her dad's reputation aid, or criticize their Dear Leader for any hurtful disrespectful comments against one of their most long time peers and you'd think friends.

[riversedge]

16. Trump is the "very dark stain" on the #USA!

[MissKat]

20. In last place?

Ha ha.
Ho ho.
Hee hee.

That's where Donny will be when history lists Presidents.

Last.
Place.

Something must be getting ready to break. He's acting very nervous, isn't he? My people have guns. McCain did this to me. My people have guns. Everyone is after me. Lock them up. SNL is mean to me. Lock them up.

What's next? Will he want to know who stole the strawberries?

[Sunlei]

42. far right terrorists being radicalized online by Republican party /w Trump is hard work!

Time for the Republican Party to send their man Trump to some more "rallies". Those Republican party/trump rallies seem to spawn quite a few(Van bomber, church shooter flag-boy) domestic terrorists.


Republicans want their president to foment more global hate & divisiveness. /s/s/s

[DallasNE]

21. By Publishing Every Single Tweet From Trump

The media has made itself complicit in the horrors we face. Stop carrying his water for him. This Tweet isn't news. It is pure propaganda. Just stop it.

[G_j]

24. trolling

the planet

[yaesu]

40. Also, anything that Fox GOPnews reports. nt

[SayItLoud]

23. Time to see drumpf's class records...he's opened the door again with

his "last in his class" attack on McCain. When are the Republicans, Vets who support this POS (never potus) and everyone who ever voted for McCain and supported his belief in a free and honest Democracy going to show up?

[Scarsdale]

25. McCain was NOT last in his class.

Out of 899, he was 895th. Now let's see where Don the Con was on HIS college transcripts. What? He will not release them? Prolly because he does not want to show off how "intelligent" he is. Yeah, right.

[SWBTATTReg]

27. Going after a dead man? Doesn't rump have enough live victims? Idiot. NT

[Sunlei]

43. Trumps tries to cover the fact he threatened an attack day before NZ shooting.(by tweet)

New Zealand terror suspect openly praised President Trump in his manifesto hailing him as "a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose"

[Stuart G]

29. In the land of "Never, Never Land" Trump has fallen off the wall..

And they couldn't put Trump back together again....

Donald, "You protest too much"...I wonder why? Trump is very sick. Needs to be removed as soon as possible.

Some "dossier" means as much as last years rain on .. ONE DAY.. in Seattle (where there is lots of rain)

IF....if....Donald Trump and his immediate gang have broken the law. He will go down.
...........The best investigators in the U.S.A. have been investigating Donald Trump
........... Some of the gang has already gone down..a long way down.
........... Trump and his immediate family will go down.
........... Talking about John McCain proves Donald Trump is dancing around and around..
............ And....Donald Trump will go down. With a frown, a long way down.

Said by Stu
Trump has no clue!

32. Show your grades Trump

As well as your taxes. Don't forget your physical results.
And while you're at it... go talk to Mueller. Under oath.

[Marcuse]

49. And take the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory

The MMPI is most commonly used by mental health professionals to assess and diagnose mental illness, but it has been utilized in other fields outside of clinical psychology. The MMPI-2 is often used in legal cases, including criminal defense and custody disputes. The test has also been used as a screening instrument for certain professions, especially high-risk jobs, although using it in this manner has been controversial. It's also used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment programs, including substance abuse programs.

[SKKY]

61. You think he would have the attention span to sit through a 567 question test???

[DirtEdonE]

35. ken starr is a dark stain

A shit stain like starr usually is dark.

[Wellstone ruled]

45. Agree,

so the Koch Brothers and the Walton's and other Billionaire Families are scared shitless about what is going at Trump and their so called Political Party.

Ken Starr is the product of the Heritage Foundation and the John Birch Society.

[DirtEdonE]

50. "Ken Starr is the product of the Heritage Foundation and the John Birch Society."

Just like kavanaugh and so many others are products of long-term gop takeover plans for the judiciary at every level.

It is and always has been a vast right wing conspiracy by the gop traitors. I fondly refer to them as the enemy now.

[Wellstone ruled]

51. The troulbling aspect of this whole thing is,

the American Populace either never studied American History and Civics,or they have their faces in their friggin I-Phones and don't care until that Bus runs them over.

If you ask most people who or what is the Birch Society as well as the Heritage Foundation,they would not have a clue. Better yet,who was the founders of the Bircher's and their connections to the Facist's of the Thirties and Forties and even decades later.

[DirtEdonE]

52. Exactly

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
- George Santayana

[Sunlei]

39. Republican party ordered the dossier from the russian expert PI.

Republican party knew 4 years ago exactly who Mr Trump was when the Republicans 'vetted' him. For some reason the republican party wanted a criminal with Russian 'blackmailed' connections in the white house.

[DoctorJoJo]

41. McCain Was 5th From the Bottom of His Class--As He Himself Said Many Times, ...

.. but The Dumpster could have NEVER even gotten into Annapolis. Trump isn't fit to even mention McCain's name!

[MBS]

44. Zing!

Perfect retort. Thanks.

[B Stieg]

46. Exactly! That's why his dad sent him to...

a fake military secondary school.

[duforsure]

47. This is what an illegitimate corrupt lying criminal President

Looks and acts like, a desperate one at that.

[SkatmanRoth]

53. This is a distraction being rolled out by Trump

What is going on that we should be paying attention to other than Trump having a fit about a dead man?

[Nitram]

54. He's got the Dossier, Dossier on his mind.

Dossier, Dossier
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Dossier on Trump's mind

I said Dossier
Ooh Dossier, no peace he finds
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Dossier on his mind (Dossier on his mind)

[Evolve Dammit]

55. It sure is gnawing at him. And proving to be quite accurate. As much as I don't want to see a

"pee pee tape" I sure hope it gets released. Hookers engaging in sex and pissing on the bed where the Obamas slept is too bizarre an allegation not to be real. Some shit you can't make up. Question is, who's got it? Maybe someone offering enough cash would make it miraculously find it's way to the Maddow show! Better yet, an outlet with no corporate master control implications.

[TNNurse]

56. Arguing with a dead man is pretty psychotic .

Especially repeatedly.

[allgood33]

57. They must be getting closer to verifying the "salacious" part of the dossier. nt

[SunDrop23]

58. I'm just over this clown.

I'd rather focus on mobilization for 2020 and getting a Democrat in the White House than giving this knucklehead any more attention than I already have. He isn't going to be impeached. He isn't going to be kicked out of office. Those are two givens. My energy is 100% on 2020. Because his re-election is a definite concern.

[Capt. America]

59. Relax Francis.

[MissMillie]

65. that's precious!

good one!

[Capt. America]

66. thank you

[lagomorph777]

62. Turd thinks he can win a twitter war with a dead guy.

He's obviously very frightened, knowing what's about to explode.

[Maxheader]

63. I took one for ya John!!!

Banned from 2 ag sites for calling cheetox the yellow haired traitor...

[MissMillie]

64. takes a really "big man"

to go after a dead man.
