As I’ve stated in another thread there is a Federal Correctional Institute somewhere waiting to be renamed in his honor.

[Husker24]

Do the Senate shitters have a name?

[Williams]

I bet they hated McCain.

[VanDeKoik]

Name the front for him and the rear of it for the Senator.

[Windflier]

He’s got a ship already.

I thought that ship was named for his father/grandfather, or both.

[apocalypto]

Makes no sense to name it after a bitter, angry Senator who had not much following outside of Arizona and who was involved in more than his share of scandals, including the fake dossier.

btw, I have tried to listen to the news four times today and each time it switch to McCain as if none of us knew he died.

[SJSAMPLE]

They added Senator McCain to the ship’s registry back in July.

[trisham]

Enough of this McCain worship.

************

Agreed. It's unseemly.

[Nateman]

How about the portal pottie at a government construction site? It’s already called a John, add the McCain part to that. When it’s full, haul away all the McCain inside and give it a fitting burial.

He was added by the Navy as a namesake to that ship.

[nopardons]

BTT

[raiderboy]

I don’t want any taxpayer funded building with his name even near it.

[TBP]

Don’t let Democrats exploit John McCain’s death to erase another piece of their ongoing racist history.

It would be a nice gesture to put a plaque with McCain's name in gold letters and a short explanation of his important legislative achievements such as being the most corrupt member of the Keating Five, etc. above the Senate urinals.

John McCain, May We Never Forget, Lest We Repeat the Mistakes of the Past

Sorry for the bad html formatting.

[Paine in the Neck]

Well, that trial balloon went down like the Hindenberg. They must have gotten some serious blowback from the base.

“He was added by the Navy as a namesake to that ship.”

Then they ran the motherf*cker into a tanker!

[MplsSteve]

“I thought that ship was named for his father/grandfather, or both.”

Originally it was.

But per Wikipedia: On 11 July 2018, at a rededication ceremony, Senator John McCain was added as a namesake, along with his father and grandfather.

[WASCWatch]

McCain had very few accomplishments in his Senate career. His involvement as a member of the Keating 5 and the S&L crisis should have earned him and ejection from the Senate and 10 years in federal prison.

I think they should name a public restroom after him.
