WASHINGTON — Senator John McCain of Arizona, who has been battling brain cancer for more than a year, will no longer be treated for his condition, his family announced on Friday, a sign that the Republican war hero is most likely entering his final days.

“Last summer, Senator John McCain shared with Americans the news our family already knew: He had been diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma, and the prognosis was serious. In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival. But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict,” the family said in a statement. “With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment.”

Brett Bayhard, on FNC, just called McQueeg ‘an American hero’, while gleefully reporting on Trump Org CFO being given immunity, by Cohen witch hunt investigators.

Sickening.

This will sound cold, but it is the way I feel about this man.

The good die quickly, the evil ones hang on and on to continue to do their work as long as possible.

Just go. Leave us alone. The damage he has done will linger on for generations. That’s his legacy.

May he hang on long enough to see a few more of Trump’s tremendous successes.

Not a fan of his, but I do wish him well in his final days. May it be as peaceful as possible.

I saw some celery at the grocery store last night and bought it. I might make a tuna sammich for lunch. On toasted rye.

The deep state will miss McCain.

Corrupt (but legal) ex-militray types. ex-FBI types, ex-deep state types - - who sell access via ‘security clearances’ to China and other enemies of the United States will miss him.

Democrats will miss him.

The press will miss him - he was always there for them - ready to trash any fellow Republicans...

And the Establishment - people who want the country flooded with illegals, rapists and gang members will miss him. We should demand pictures of who shows up for his funeral. I'll bet Joe and Mika and the sycophants will show up...

When John McCain finally passes, he will neither be mourned, nor missed by millions of the American people and voters. Don’t look fo thousands of mourners lining the streets as his funeral caravan passes by. He was no friend, supporter or ally of the voters in Arizona as he lay infirm, unable to vote on any cause, because he could not be in Washington, DC. SAD!!! He will not be remembered well by history.

The old adages aptly apply to this evil old man. “You reap what you sow” & “What goes around, comes around.” Satan awaits!!!

Trump is releasing all documents.

It’s convenient for McCain to proceed to Hell before the truth comes out about his involvement in the dossier.

“I, for one, WELCOME Arizona’s new Overlord...Cindy McCain!”


If Governor Ducey does this he will lose in November. People here are steamed over this.

If his rival Ken Bennett wins I think he will appoint Andy Biggs, a much better option.

I wish him a peaceful passing.

Yes indeed. Not sure why they feel it's necessary to provide this "update", but whatever.

Nothing about him in hospice. Could also mean he never had the disease in the first place, and the guy is fixing to disappear.

This would not surprise me.

I’m not the conspiracy theory type, but I wouldn’t have any trouble believing the McCain’s been dead for the past six months and the family realizes they can’t continue to hide it forever.

Thus the “final days” meme.

In any case, enjoy hell, you worthless, vile bastard.
