Sen. John McCain took some veiled shots at President Trump over the weekend — slamming high income draft dodgers like himself for using their wealth to avoid serving in the Vietnam War.
“One aspect of the conflict, by the way, that I will never ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest income level of America and the highest income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur,” the Arizona lawmaker told C-SPAN3 in an interview that aired Sunday.
“That is wrong. That is wrong,” he said. “If we’re going to ask every American to serve, every American should serve.”
McCain, a Republican, didn’t actually name Trump — but the “bone spur” reference appeared to be a direct jab…
The Vietnam war hero has spent the past week criticizing the president and his own party. He blasted “half-baked, spurious nationalism” in a speech last Monday, sparking a brief war of words between the two.
This is a good example of how to extrapolate out underlying conditions based on an understanding of amygdala.
This is a fairly gratuitous insult, out of the blue, and it is clearly calculated to attack President Trump. What I see, behind all of it, is the drive produced by a triggered amygdala. When you are getting irritation, it drives that force in the brain which propels you to action – any action in some cases.
Nothing triggers reflexively angry guys like having something go wrong in their lives, and seeing someone else who is having success. If McCain’s chemo was going well, I suspect he would be less aggressive in his targeting, and he would be focusing on his own success as a cancer survivor.
My guess is its likely that this was triggered by bad news on a front he cannot lash out at, and this was how the triggering manifested, in an attack on the one irritant in front of him which was the only target he could get a shot in on. My guess is, between now and his passing, he goes all in on attacking Trump.
It would not surprise me even to find there are elements of the Establishment right now trying to figure out how best to exploit his condition to damage Trump.
He’s determined to leave this world as one of the most despised characters.
As detestable as I found Ted Kennedy he was who he was. McCain will be remembered as a traitor. Sad but what a knot of anger he must be inside.

Gone gone in six months?
Just because the average baby boomer was having free love while he was getting raped by pack of gooks doesn’t give him an excuse to torment every member of the conservative movement. You name the issue and right when we are about to achieve something- bamm- McCain is there to fuck it all up. The Establishment would survive- even win- if they just threw us a bone from time to time. They can’t even do that. Very well. The happier and more successful Pres. Trump is the sooner we are rid of McCain.
John McCain may be dead soon? At least there’s some good news.
I heard the other day when McCaine killed the Obama care repeal he said “Lets see Trump make America great again now.”
