Sen. John McCain called on the Senate to reject Gina Haspel's nomination to be the director of the CIA, citing her refusal in testimony on Wednesday to acknowledge "torture's immorality."
"I believe Gina Haspel is a patriot who loves our country and has devoted her professional life to its service and defense," the Arizona Republican said in a statement Wednesday evening.
"However, Ms. Haspel's role in overseeing the use of torture by Americans is disturbing. Her refusal to acknowledge torture's immorality is disqualifying. I believe the Senate should exercise its duty of advice and consent and reject this nomination," his statement continued.

Can we get him up in a single engine Piper Cub and make it six planes? Does Jane Fonda still have that AAA from Vietnam?

The brain tumor does not seem to slow his leftist ideas. You would think he would repent in the end, but it seems he is stuck on evil.

I call on John McCain’s doctors to unplug this rodent. Unfortunately, he is nowhere near that point. MUCH more vomiting to come with this scumbag.

Maybe the brain tumor is WHY the leftist ideas.

McCain is the scorpion in the following modern fable:
A scorpion asks a frog to carry it across a river. The frog hesitates, afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, they would both drown. Considering this, the frog agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When the frog asks the scorpion why, the scorpion replies that it was in its nature to do so.

Remind me of the movie Wrath of Khan.
The Wrath of McCain.
” To the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell’s heart, I stab at thee! For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee!”
From Melville’s Moby Dick.
