Thank you! I don’t even like Cortez much but I totally agree that the “well, actually...” followed by demonizing him when the body is barely cold is in bad taste. I know people have trouble hearing all of McCain’s good qualities lauded, but he was a mixed bag on both a personal and professional level. The fact that

Who appoints themselves mourning/tribute gatekeepers? Jesus, just give it a break for one day.

This. I’m exhausted with people being internet-upset and typing up reasons why their opinion on McCain is more valid than anyone else’s.

Yay, I found a sane person!

I’m honestly as tired as the “John McCain was a terrible terrible person who no one should say nice things about” pieces as the “John McCain was last of a rare and noble breed of American statesmen” pieces. Dude died just yesterday, and in my universe, it’s still poor manners to interrupt other people’s mourning with

And she can do all that while thinking McCain was a decent person.

Are people not allowed to be civil and even kind to whom they disagree with anymore?

John McCain cheated on his wife before his capture, and once she was in a car accident that damaged her face, put her in a wheelchair, and caused her to gain weight he started openly dating other women, before proposing to a rich woman more than a decade younger than him while he was still married. And you think “Oh,

I think it’s nice that his first family forgave him and were able to get along with his second family.

The only logical thing the real victim in all of this could do: marry Cindy.

He was diagnosed with a 0% chance of surviving his brain cancer, and he didn’t resign because he knew he might linger long enough that he’d be replaced by an appointed Senator rather than an elected one.  If he’d resigned a few months ago, Arizona would be holding an election to fill his seat.  John McCain decided

She’s a princess in a tower. She thinks she gets to be above all this because even if Trump insults daddy more, she still gets sympathy and passes. She has an art degree but because of her name they pay her to yell about politics.

You’re missing the point: they ran it at all. They ran it after his treatment discontinuation announcement. It took balls.

I think I'd prefer Darth Vader as my father. 

Not mentioned here, but touched upon in an email from the ACLU (Dated 8/24, from Lee Gelernt, Deputy Directory of the ACLU Immigrant’s Rights Project, emphasis theirs):

Together these practices have resulted in not only the tremendous suffering of children and parents who have been kept apart, detained, and subjected to abusive, inhumane treatment, but also the involuntary, forced return of hundreds of people to grave dangers, including risk of death. As a nation we cannot

No. Fuck group texts.

I think I am biased towards hating them as they remind me of the kind of couple that makes out on a crowded subway and doesn’t care about the other people. Then then get off and because they’re holding hands blocks the escalator for people to walk past them.

I think this is an important point though--she’s got financial stability and doesn’t have to be showing up for a 9-5 job or anything. That it’s so shocking to see someone famous tending to their family and related responsibilities with the myriad resources available to her maybe says something about our expectations
