I’m a Missourian. And while I wish she were more liberal, I will hold my nose and vote for her. Considering her last opponent was Todd ‘Legitimate Rape’ Akins, she’s a good hold against anything the republicans can offer our state let alone our country. This midterm cannot be a time to sit on the benches because the…

Claire McCaskill is running neck and neck in a state that Trump won by 18 points, and nonetheless decided against voting for Kavanaugh. Ladies and gentlemen, that is what political courage looks like.

Look, obviously men should not be engaging in predatory behavior at the office. But I’m worried now the pendulum’s going to swing too far in the opposite direction, and they’ll be held accountable for that behavior, which is not ideal.”

“it’s influenced by the things that are developing in terms of the empowerment of women who’ve been acknowledging each other and being acknowledged by men”

His being a POW shouldn’t give him a lifetime pass on everything else he did in his life, that’s for sure. He wasn’t near as principled as everyone made him out to be, unless that principle was “what’s best for John McCain?”

He was really good at standing on the Capitol steps expressing concern with a bunch of cameras in his face before he went back in and voted like a good Republican.

He certainly loved to perpetuate the myth that he was on in the republican party, even though he voted like a normal republican.

John McCain’s seat lasts until 2022. If he had resigned before May 30, Arizona would have held a special election this November to pick his replacement to serve from the remainder of McCain’s term. Since he refused to resign when it became clear he was not capable of serving, and it’s too late to hold a special…

This is awfully whiny and hollow coming from someone not directly related to the recently deceased. The guy did a lot of stuff, and much of it was on a really big public stage and done to millions of people, and much of that was harmful.

I can’t possibly be Kelli Ward, because I hate McCain for making a pyre out of healthcare and supporting foreign wars, whereas she fully supports those things and worse (such as actively courting conspiracy theorists) and therefore, like him, is a garbage human being.

I have no desire to go to his funeral, so there’s no concern of that happening. Besides, his funeral is for his family, not for him. Had I ever the chance to tell him to his face when he lived that he was a horrific piece of shit human being, I would have. My path through life does not typically lead me to such…

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,…

He was a Navy fighter pilot. Not just a ‘sailor’, and never a soldier.

The most telling of his final actions—he goes along with his deviant, cruel, traitorous political party to the bitter, bitter end. And you better believe he knew exactly how traitorous they were. He still honored them over the people until the very end of his life. THAT was John McCain.

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…

He left America the same way he left his family and nurses: having to clean up after his shit.  

He earned his Purple Heart a hundred times over. A soldier worthy of respect and admiration.

This is definitely the piece I expected to read here today. An honest, often brutal, look at the life of the man behind the “Maverick” myth. It sucks that he died, but he fucked this country A LOT in his time in congress. Thank you for your service to this country Senator McCain, but that does not make you a saint.

Fuck John McCain.

He was a 17 who didn’t consent. That last bit is the most important part. He was also groomed, from childhood, by her. How do you not find that fucked up and unacceptable?
