It’s always struck me that someone has something on McCain and has controlled 40% of his words and actions for a long long time. Just enough to let him do some Republican stuff to appear legit. Think the guy is owned. When he behaves like a liberal, he doesn’t seem to really have his heart in it ... which is not to defend him in any way ... he didn’t have to let himself be comprised, especially since it’s lead to grave consequences for the US. Can’t say how long this goes back, may go all the way back to the beginning of his political career.
I’m wondering if McCain’s trip to Europe was long planned or it just came up recently. I looked on his Senate page for a calendar/schedule but didn’t see one. There is a press release/statement of him meeting with the President of Turkey, Erdogan.
Someone said above that he is now in Saudi Arabia. He is a senator, so a foreign trip could be normal or it could be quite “convenient” for him at the moment if he is expects legal or public difficulty back home.
