John McCain is co-sponsoring a new bill to block Trump transgender military ban
The Washington Examiner ^ | September 15, 2017 | Travis J. Tritten

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has signed on to a new bill to be introduced Friday by Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, to block President Trump's order to ban transgender military service, according to two congressional aides.

The stand-alone bill, which is also co-sponsored by Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., the top Armed Services Democrat, has the same language as an amendment proposed by Gillibrand and Collins this week for the National Defense Authorization Act that would prohibit the military from barring service based on gender. That amendment never received a floor vote due to a dispute between Republicans and Democrats over debate of the NDAA....

Because the suicide rate of transgenders and soldiers are not high enough separately. We should fund an effort to see how high a suicide rate can be pushed. /s

“Is there no end to this prick?”

No. I heard that’s why he was never circumcised.

McShame embarrasses America almost every blessed day. How does he even dream up all the krap he does?!?! Someone maybe can fix him up with a date, make that a double date — say with HilLIARy and madMaxine Waters?

Why doesn’t he introduce a bill to force the military to enlist people with diabetes? Diabetics are diabetic through no fault of their own. Diabetic people are good people who contribute to our economy and pay taxes.

Who the hell are those two posing with the Cold War fighter-bomber ace in the middle? (You do know John McCain destroyed/crashed/burned up/bailed out from/got shot down in five different USN jets back in the 60’s don’t you?)

McStain evidently enjoys his role as Democrat buttboy.

He’s very good at it.

I would love to hear about his Hanoi Hilton “Songbird” days from people that were there with him.

Everyone thinks he is so brave fighting cancer. It is not bravery that moves him, it is stark terror at what he will find waiting for him on the other side.

Yes, that’s called a veto.

I have come to detest that man. He's not much longer for this world, but he seems intent on f***ing it up as badly as he is able before he departs it.

John McCain doesn’t really believe in all these things he keeps endorsing. He knows that Donald Trump has come out on some position, so in almost mindless reactionary fury, McCain immediately takes the contrary position. Just like killing the option of even voting on the repeal of Obamacare, that was a sheer spite vote, tipping things into oblivion.

Mean growling dog in the manger, keeping the horses from being able to eat.

That is actually quite insightful and it makes a great deal of sense.

It’s not a legislative matter. Period!

‘McCain knows that his days are numbered’

Does he? People say he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer. To hear him talk, it’s as if he believes this is just one more challenge—and medical advances are on his side.

‘”I’m facing a challenge, but I’ve faced other challenges,” McCain said. “And I’m very confident about getting through this one as well.”

The Arizona Republican, who was diagnosed with brain cancer in July, said he will receive a magnetic resonance imaging test on Monday and expressed optimism about his condition.

“I’m fine,” McCain told anchor Jake Tapper. “The prognosis is pretty good. Look, this is a very vicious form of cancer that I’m facing, but all the results so far are excellent.”’

snip

‘In the interview, the former Republican presidential candidate praised his health care providers at length and said new medical technologies were part of his hopeful disposition.’

snip

‘Although McCain said he hoped to beat the disease and live as long as possible, he seemed to be at peace.’

I don’t know and don’t care who they are.....and yes I do know McCain’s history...it’s NOT what he’s fed the world to believe.
