"Anonymous" sources don't "confirm" anything. Maybe I'm being lawyer here and leaning on the rules of evidence, but there's a reason why "anonymous" statements can't convict one of a crime.
Some people have already gone on the record. They have said that they were there and they didn't hear it.

But anonymous sources saying what he wants to hear are far more reliable than actual people going on record and saying something he doesn't like.

Yes, several of trumps paid former mouthpieces have said they didn't hear it, but you also don't know if they were even there when this was said because we don't know who said it. Then you have the claim that he called Melania in the states about canceling the trip when she was actually with him on the trip.
Again, there's more than enough evidence of trump calling people losers, including McCain, to find this more than plausible.

I knew McCain was a RINO loser long before Trump came along.
That's one of the reasons why I like Cruz so much... he called out his own party for being RINOs.
It's a pleasure watching Trump take it to the next level.
As far as the fiction you're trying to push, go right ahead. No one but the bubble-left believes it.

RE: [NEWS] Biden health condition could result in him leaving race
So replace Joe with Kamala, a woman who didn't excite the Dems during the primaries and honestly dropped out before the first primary, mismanaged her campaign, criticized Trump's tax plan, but took advantage of it when setting up her campaign office, got destroyed by Tulsi Gabbard to the point of having no response, and this is the best you could do next to a doddering old man that has all these great ideas but in 48 years in DC never once tried to implement them?
Yea this sounds like a great ticket and idea. The best the Dems could come up with in 4 years ladies and gents.

The coolest thing about the ignore feature is if a tree falls in the woods and no one is there did Tom actually say anything?

It doesn't matter if you read him or have him on ignore. Flatulence is not conversation.

He is the message board equivalent of flatulence. His posts are to threads the social equivalent of breaking up a discussion group by walking up and farting. Think of him like unwelcome methane and report him to the green house gang who will treat him like a herd of cows.

Yep, that John Bolton is a huge Trump shill and would do anything to make his former boss look good. Jesus, Tom, even those that hate Trump denied this, publicly, and all the Atlantic has are anonymous sources behind the wizard of oz curtain. Wake the f up. Kavanaugh's confirmation was in the same vein, and the leftist toads keep losing support because of these stupid games they are playing. Here's an idea, propose a new path that leads to jobs, border security, better education, and secure retirements, while improving the opportunity for all CITIZENS to succeed. I'd listen to that. But Joe can barely remember his last name and Kamala has too much goo in her mouth to help. Your side sucks and destroys. My side is far from perfect, but is on the right side of the issues that matter now. Game. Set. Match.

But not enough to make it true. Because behavior on other occasions cannot make it true.
