Biden paid a visit to Arizona to claim that everyone who opposes him is a threat to democracy, to brag about encouraging former Senator McCain to cheat on his disabled first wife, and to announce $83 million in taxpayer money for the John McCain National Library.
The 80,000-square-foot library built on 22.5 acres at Arizona State Universe will archive McCain’s papers and claims, implausibly, that it will have over 100,000 visitors a year.
Politicians stealing taxpayer money to build useless monuments to each other’s vanity is nothing new, but what is unusual is the source of the money for the McCain library.
The Biden administration put out a press release announcing that

There is no such thing as taxpayer money anymore, it's all unlimited air money.

Is Johnnie McQueeg still making his regular appearances on Meet The Depressed?

I guess using Covid money to fund anything concerning McCain is appropriate, one disease paying for another.

That is over $11.00 from every man woman and child in Az, $0.25 from every man woman and child in America. For a local Senators "Library", from an Administration that has seized under subpoena and armed federal officers ALL of the "Papers" from an actual President, to keep HIM from having ANYTHING to put in a "Library" which under LAW he is entitled and expected to create.
How many sq/ft was/is his HOUSE? How many acres does it set upon? What was the total net worth of his Estate?
Normally if a Politician wants to endow a Library, he uses his OWN HOME, his OWN land(or land he purchases) and funds it from his OWN Estate. Face it...If those are HIS papers, they had to have been saved and stored in HIS properties, and still should be.
I hope they use THIS photo, blown up 100 times life size in the entry lobby

If it’s taxpayer money, DC believes it’s there’s to do with as they see fit.

I heard Ben Domenech, Meghan's husband, on Laura Ingraham. She asked him about this and he said Biden was wrong to do it. That it was a "See, I can cross the aisle" just like they did before Trump. Right. Her said that no one in the family had requested it and that Meghan was against it as well. Laura didn't press because he was on about another subject but he was very clear.

If this surprises you, you haven’t been paying attention.
Covid killed my business but I didn’t get a cent from the government because I was sole proprietor with no employees.

A fitting edifice to someone who always insisted that we "get the money out of politics."

It becomes more and more surprising by the day how many Swamp creatures got rich and powerful by grift and graft. The corruption is so deep that only an earth mover the size of Texas can clear it out. We are SO screwed.

The covid relief bill created the greatest slush fund in world history. The second greatest slush fund was the Obama stimulus. All of it geared to buying votes.

Wasn't it enough that they gave McLame a funeral that would have been over the top for a President? Nope, now they have to give that useless POS a library like ex-presidents get. It makes me sick.

Never let a good government handout go to waste, eh? Follow the money on ALL these "libraries" devoted to former Federal employees, the elected ersatz celebrities.
McCain was another U.S. Congresspuke who benefitted from U.S. tax dollars flowing to Ukraine. The other one was his sidekick from South Carolina, Ms. Graham. I have always wondered how McCain's "Institute" was built at Arizona State University, since it was unlikely that wife Cindy would invest her own inherited "beer money" on something for her ever wandering adulterous husband.

Why do some of the most mean, evil, inhuman fools who have never read a good book get libraries built after them? How is Obie's library coming along?

I almost forgot that McCain was one of the first RINOs. As loyal to this country as he was to his first wife.

SpaceX a donor, really? Well, my small town of about 10,000 bought all new truck and cars for the town employees using COVID funds but at least the amount was less than $83 Million. Seriously, has there been one senator who actually did something good for this country?

Arizona is amazingly corrupt, beyond expectations. But then again, I know many corrupt business people in Chicago who loved Arizona and planned to retire there.

Why does John McCain get a National Library? Wasn't that never ending State Funeral enough? Condolences to his family, of course, but if memory serves, he was never President.

The Bidens and McCains, two completely corrupt families. If the McCains had any decency they would have told Biden they would not be a part of using taxpayer money to fund this library.
