That would be clever. Abrogates McCain’s point of view, while moving Sheriff Joe out of the competition that his presence might tilt to someone not supporting our agenda.

I wish Senator McCain D-Mexico a good response to therapy and a nice, long, happy life.

That said, is there no way to gauge the man's mental capacity and psychological fitness for the responsibilities of the duties of a senator?

Might there be a law in which the good people of the great state of Arizona gently relieve him of duty?

I don’t know about term limits but there certainly ought to be age limits to Congressional service.

The US Senate resembles an assisted living facility.

If mcqueeg were the patriot he claims to be he’d resign, if not from the senate, at least from his chairmanship.

If Juan is too sick to go back to DC, he needs to resign.

Of course he won’t, he’s a massively malignant narcissist.

In the meantime, try calling his DC or Phoenix office. Nobody ever answers the phone, voicemail boxes are always full. What a disgraceful taxpayer rip-off.

McStain is probably in a coma by now.

I would expect to see his daughter disappear from TV when that happens.

Looking at McCain in your picture I see and feel a man that at that moment, and countless thousands of similar moments in his career, that was/is standing on a Mt. Everest of EGO, narcissism, selfishness, immorality and arrogance.

Then I look around in recent decades and I think of our so called “leaders” such as Schumer, Pelosi, Reid, Obama. Wasserman Schultz, Collins, Hillary, Bill Clinton, McConnell, Gov. Brown, Feinstein, Corker, Holder, Lynch, Mueller, Ryan and on and on and I wonder to myself in amazement and with eyes rolling, how on earth did our beloved country accumulate this many mis fits, egotists and narcissists in one snapshot in time in our 250 year history.

There’s no dodging the CENTRAL FACT either. It’s our ELECTORATE’s FAULT..................whatever the reason or reasons, it’s the ELECTORATE’s fault!

It’s as if a dam broke back in the sixties or seventies and released all the MOST scummiest people available and breathing in this country while leaving us with few good guys and gals in the halls of Washington.

Well, that changes my opinion of Inhofe. He just went down a bunch of pegs in my opinion.

He is letting a geriatric with brain cancer set the agenda of the Armed Services Committee. Perfect.

So they still let an absent back stabbing Traitor who has brain cancer run things on this important comitee. Only in GOVT can such a circumstance exist.

Actually I think many of them have been scummy in the past.
However what’s different now is the “professional politician”.
It used to be that you had to “make your mark” in your community - have some measure of success as a private individual before you went into politics. Nowadays kids getting out of college with a BS in political science or what not think that they are ready for a political career. They “want to change the world” or something. I see the same with conservatives as well as liberals. We have convinced ourselves that a career as a politician means you have the experience and OJT training to continue up the political ladder. I think with Trump we are seeing that is not true! I think a career in “politics” hanging around in politics means you learn the wrong lessons and get the worst experience. However the public for the most part still thinks that “political experience” is best for governance. I think we are seeing that’s wrong and we can only hope the public sees it too!

I really loathe that POS.

It appears that to become a senator requires low IQ, the ability to lie, and the morals of a Kennedy.

Examples: McDork, Flake, Pelosi, McConnell, Boxer, Kerry, Braun, Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota boy, and a long list of additional pond scum.

My bet was end of February and I’m still sticking with it.
The fact that Linda is now trying to run the immigration dog-pony show indicates McCain won’t be back
