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....

My first impression was that McCain is just letting all of his true liberal colors show since he isn't long for this world and doesn't have to worry about re-election, whereas before he had to temper his liberal instincts at least a little.

Your proposed alternative explanation is even more disturbing, because it would mean that McCain isn't even doing this out of badly misguided principles, but out of pure, childish spite.

He is pure evil pushing this mental illness throughout the military.

Definitely under the control of the "Queen of Hearts".

Many people become more reflective and decent when they realize that the end is near. McCain just seems to be getting even more petty and vindictive in his final days than he was before.

Didn’t President Reagan once tell McCain to, “shut the hell up”?

You’re right. McCain does seem to be getting more petty and vindictive—who even knew that was possible? He was pretty spiteful toward Trump all along.

Perhaps he will mellow as time passes. Right now he still seems to be in denial. He appears to believe the brain cancer can be beaten.

Once the inevitable course of the disease becomes undeniable, we may see a shift toward magnanimity. For McCain’s sake we can hope so, anyway.

Got to say I hope he goes quickly because I wouldn't wish the suffering he's headed for on anyone...It gets really really bad.

On second thought...can't forget these 19 seconds when he , along with all the stage drama...thumps down on the Skinny Healthcare Bill...so if he didn't care about our health why should I care about his!..Once a traitor always a traitor....

Like Captain Queeg of the Caine Mutiny, John McCain is losing it, interested only on the strawberries, and fumbling those three balls around his fingers....

Yes, one would think that, facing eternity, he would shrink from promoting rank blasphemy. I shudder to think of the terror that awaits him on the other side.

FReepers, when that piece of garbage McCain does finally kick the bucket. I really don’t want to see thread after thread of prayers for him. He can go straight to Hell.

When he kicks it, it’ll be too late anyhow. He’ll already have made his decision about where he’ll spend eternity... and it’s gonna be hot!

A person can’t live the life he’s led and expect, or hope for, the best. He has some time to redeem himself as far as his standing with God, but I’m not holding my breath.

MCcain and his girlfriend Ms. Lindsay, are understandable having a difficult time accepting the CIC’s decison on transgenders in the military.

That saying goes back to the Nixon years. He was hated like Trump and the democrats conjured up the same kind of non-issues to destroy him like they are trying now.

I am SO glad I wrote in Sarah for President and Duncan Hunter as VP.

I know it isn’t new but it was to good to pass up and it certainly applies to McCain. Maybe some of the ‘kids’ on FR haven’t heard it before.
