Sen. John McCain - the loyal opposition
1936 - 2018


Fair winds and following seas.

The last honorable Republican. RIP, Senator.

Our current president is unworthy to polish McCain's shoes. RIP, sir. You will be missed.

Hear, here!

I heard another Republican patriot say that Humpty Trumpty wasn't fit to lick Sen. McCain's boots. I'd have to agree.

Walked the walk with his life.
Not just talk the talk like.....

Respected him.
A real American Hero.

A man of honor, a hero and patriot. RIP Maverick.

A man of integrity. He will be missed.

"John McCain and I were members of different generations, came from completely different backgrounds, and competed at the highest level of politics. But we shared, for all our differences, a fidelity to something higher – the ideals for which generations of Americans and immigrants alike have fought, marched, and sacrificed.”

President Barack Obama

McCain’s passing, tragic at any time, is all the sadder now. His dedication to America’s global leadership, advocacy for human rights, steadfast opposition to despots, devotion to bipartisanship, willingness to break with his own party, insistence on putting the nation’s interest above self-interest, and, above all, his unwavering sense of right and wrong — all are desperately needed at a time when his party has embraced an amoral, narcissistic demagogue who fawns over tyrants and flirts with isolationism and protectionism and white nationalism. Trump hated McCain and insulted him at every turn because McCain was everything Trump is not — and everything that we need in our politics today but tragically lack.

RIP Senator McCain. You will be missed.

The last Republican to exhibit both class and balls. I don't see anyone among the current crop of Trump supplicants capable of taking his place. I'd like to be wrong.

RIP.

A signal moment when Sen. McCain clapped back at bigotry being expressed at one of his townhall meetings in '08.

This American has been appreciated all around the world. The German Chancellor and the German Secretary of State expressed their deep sympathy and so do I.

Rest in peace - I will miss you.

Kathy Griffin's tweeted response to Trump:

@kathygriffin

Take his name out of your mouth you piece of shit. You maligned his military service while you did everything to avoid serving. You attacked him repeatedly while you knew he was dying. And you cozied up to Putin while he did everything he could to oppose him.

Fuck You

President Trump nixed issuing a statement that praised the heroism and life of Sen. John McCain, telling senior aides he preferred to issue a tweet before posting one Saturday night that did not include any kind words for the late Arizona Republican.

Classless scum.

I read that he requested that President emeritus Barak Obama deliver a eulogy.

If you have to have conservatives around, and you do, McCain's sort are the ones you want. You will need to oppose them much, but not always, and they deserve to be listened to.

Meanwhile, back at the raunch;

Man, what the hell is wrong with that crew? It's like they can't wait to shit on any real American heroes or anyone who disagrees with their shit. :(

RIP John McCain.

A global movement deleted an opinion piece about you when you were in your prime. The movement had to reconsider its goal. You were never afraid of dancing in the fire.

You give time scale to ashes of regret. You are missed.

Peace.

"We are a nation of ideals, not blood and soil." John McCain


Amen to that.

Sen. McCain's final words.

No wonder the Teapublicans hated McCain and villified him as a RINO, he got a little hammered on the local vodka in Estonia with Hilz once. ;)

Inside McCain's surprise eulogy invitation to Obama

https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/28/polit...ice/index.html

The Conservative Republican party died with John McCain and will be buried with him, to be replaced by the party of Trump and Trumpism.
Remember folks, it's a minority driving this phenomenon. Evil reigns when good men do nothing

Sarah Palin isn't invited to John McCain's memorial services

https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/30/polit...ral/index.html

McCain said in the months before his death that he regretted not picking then-Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman as his running mate in 2008. The New York Times reported in May that McCain said not choosing Lieberman was "another mistake that I made."

He might have won the presidency had he not chosen Palin. Mc Cain and Lieberman would have been hard to beat.

Bullseye. That was one of the best and hardest election I have ever voted in. Had he chosen Lieberman, he would have had my vote.

I can't say that he would have had my vote, but he would have had my respect as a candidate.

Joe Biden's McCain eulogy just explained exactly what's wrong with American politics

Quite the ceremony at the National Cathedral this morning with some serious shade thrown by Megan McCain.
Rest in Peace, Sen. McCain. You were good.

John McCain’s Funeral Was the Biggest Resistance Meeting Yet
Two ex-Presidents and one eloquent daughter team up to rebuke the pointedly uninvited Donald Trump.

I do not watch TV so was spared the spectacle. Read that the 'Stepford' couple Javanka squirmed their way (snagged an invitation) to attend Sen. McCain's memorial which really bothered me.

A moving funeral. I still believe in America.

McCarthyism and Trumpism have a lot in common, but eventually it too will be discredited.
After all his cult base is getting the shaft economically, sadly they don't sense it.

It is reported that Best Lackey Lindsay Graham invited Ivanka to McCain's funeral with permission from Cindy McCain.
