"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. With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment," McCain's family said in a statement released by his office.

“He’s dead Jim”

[rktman]

Bladder is getting pretty full. May have to reload for the post interment ceremonies.

[Obadiah]

Probably won’t make it through the weekend.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Not dead yet......

Waiting until after the AZ primary before Meghan gets her Daddy’s Senate seat.

[bagster]

Haha.

What you wanna do?

I know. Let's go over to John McCain's house.

Nowadays, with the compliance of the media and the family, you can keep someone on the tubes (breathing, water, nutrition, waste disposal, even kidney filtration and new blood) for nearly forever.

Then, at some convenient time after the primary, this gives them cover to pull the plug “as a hero” than as “piece of hate-filled, anti-Trump lettuce”

Waiting to see as media spins this into a Trump story. I have to say that fortunately, tactlessness is not a crime.

[House Atreides]

The August 28th primary must be close at hand.

a year ago did he have even a 10% chance of success?

Selfish man not willing to retire for health reason. He could not do his job... VOTE!!!

[SecondAmendment]

McCain should have resigned a long time ago to spend what time he had left concentrating on his health, but he put his ego before the people of Arizona and his family ...

[Sirius Lee]

So anyway, does anybody have experience with grip shifts vs trigger shifts on their mountain bike? Which do you prefer?

[Artemis Webb]

"Our family is immensely grateful...and the many thousands of people who are keeping him in their prayers"

call me cynical but I doubt many of McCain's "supporters" are praying people.

If God has decided to 86 McStain from the bar who am I to argue?

[Old Yeller]

I guess the rent on the morgue freezer was getting too expensive for the family.

[Hojczyk]

Cancer treatment on people over seventy five is a waste of money in most cases...

Cancer spreads some place else

You might live a year longer

But the government pays for it..

[Psalm 144]

If God has decided to 86 McStain from the bar who am I to argue?

We are but hobbits.

No comment.

I wish Sen. McCain a peaceful passing, and his family has my deepest sympathy.
