RIP McCain

[Joods]

We lost an honorable man today. I can only hope that our future generations will know the sacrifices he made for this country.

I didn't agree with his anti LGBT rhetoric but among Republicans he was among the least foul

[Anomalocaris]

He was one of the few replucicans I liked.

Wow. I heard that he was discontinuing treatment for his cancer last night. That was quick.

And with McCain dies Republican bipartisanship in Congress.

His bipartisanship consisted of avowed intent to stall the confirmation of any Supreme Court candidate Hillary clinton might nominate for 4 or 8 years to make sure the Democrats do not get to place any condidage onto the Supreme Court regardless of the outcome of the 2016 election.

He is a partisan hack through and through.   That he looks magisterial and noble next to trump is an indication of how bottomless is the abyss into which the country has fallen, not an indication that he personally has not always reveled fairly deep in the cesspool.    

Winston Churchill said he would make a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons if hitler invaded hell.    McCain is that devil.   He has not Un-fallen.   It’s just that hitler had invaded.

Odd coincidence:

died 9 years to the day after Ted Kennedy, of the same form of cancer . . . .

If Alex Jones was still allowed to voice his opinions he'd have something to say about that!

Same chem-trail aircraft got them both . . . .

I have long since hated GOP economics, but when McCain stuck up for Obama at the town hall I was proud of him. That moment probably cost him the election.

All 45 could do is put out a short sentence. It pissed me off in any case knowing how he attacked him.

Obama and Biden(whose son died from cancer too) both put out short eloquent speeches.

Bush Jr and Obama are going to be giving parts of his Eulogy. Guess who will not be there?

That would be the orange menace that was told to stay the fuck away from the funeral. He will probably still try to crash it in some way.

While I didn't think much of his politics, McCain had balls of steel. Sadly for the GOP McCain has taken the only balls they had to the grave.

Oh it is worse for 45 because McCain is having three services. The one in AZ, lying in state at the Capital, a service at the National Cathedral, then one at the Naval Academy, NONE of which 45 is invited to.

Although I disagreed with McCain over most policy issues, he was a principled man who was willing to go against his party in the interests of the country (as he saw them).

We need more politicians like him.

If trump not moronically ignited the unprecedentedly disgraceful personally pissing contest with him, and if he had been up for re-election, then whether he would have been principled enough to have resisted the de-spinalization of his party longer than his friend Graham is hard to say.

Any ball can appear hard when there is boiling personal animosity towards the party leader and one is not up for re-election.

Other allegedly metalic balls on the republican side turned out to be metal paint on aged and uncooked eggs when election approaches, and spray yoke, egg white, and hydrogen sulfide everywhere at the least pressure.

Yes. We need to create boiling personal aunimosity between every republican politician and trump, and then make sure they are all soon to die so they have nothing to lose from opposing trump.
