sure, mccain was involved in a number of accidents during his tenure as navy pilot. some his fault some not.
you're conflating the horseplay that cut some electrical cables in spain with an accident for which you give absurd explanations. the rocket in the forrestal didn't come out of mccain's plane. mccain's plane was hit or next to the one hit.
but hey, the lizard people.
then you're falsely claiming that the internment from which mccain came out crippled was some sort of party with his captors.
then you throw in irrelevant shit like gambling in casinos. who cares?
these are typical addled paranoid brain constructions. take a bit of truth, twist it, pepper it with 100 hallucinations--it's a conspiracy! and the lizard people.
i'm not pro-mccain, fuck knows i was glad to see him beaten by obama, and yeah he skated in the S&L scandal thanks to the politicians you voted for, but there are degrees of WORST in american politics and you're aligned with the worst of the worst.
so while mccain is a shit, i'll take his average shit over the epically toxic turds of your white nationalist alcoholic pals bent on dismantling the last shred of democracy for their own ends.

Preach.
You're exactly right about this pattern of circuitous and logically bogus reasoning and "narrative" presentation that people are engaging in. Just a little bit of truth, add like ten different consistencies of bullshit, throw it all into a kids' spin-painting wheel, and FWOOSH! You have something people will buy even though it's mostly shit (hey, like art, right?!)
This is the kind of shit that led to a man opening fire on a goddamn pizzeria because he thought he was ending a HRC-sponsored pedophile ring. (!!!) Alternative facts indeed.
Gotta hand it to the expert spinners in the Trumo admin. Boy can they spin shit to make morons freak out about it. #FakeNews was first brought up
because of the lies about HRC people swallowed whole...
because voters were overly influenced by Facebook and meme-culture...
because Trump won!!!
But who remembers that? It's now something Repukes holler at whatever they don't like. They've coopted the term and taken control of the moment. Nice pivot. Truly. It takes a skilled PR staff to make someone who has literally committed treason still seem like a hero to half the American people.
GUUUUHHHHHHH.... FAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!
