Feel no remorse, John McCain was Satan among us. All of “Hell” is dancing tonight. I will puke if they lay this traitor out in the Capitol Rotunda. What a joke!!! McCain such an evil, hateful human being.

Finally admitted it huh?

I guess the corpse was stinking up the place too much to continue to play “Weekend at Bernies”.

Oh No!, catastrophic loss to the Democratic Party. I’m sure they will name a Street after him in Rio Linda Calif.

Dang the news yesterday was he was discontinuing treatment for brain cancer, I’m guessing the “treatment” was the life support machine that had been keeping him alive for the last couple months.
*******************************************************
Indeed. The fact that they waited until the eve of the August 28th primary to remove life support means Governor Ducey will not have to name a successor until after a Tuesday’s primary. And that does not bode well for us.

Conservative voter goes in McCain’s office on Monday and asks to see John McCain, the staff member tells the voter that Senator McCain has passed away. The voter just stands there for a few minutes then leaves.

The next morning the same voter is back and asks to talk to Senator McCain. The staffer tells the voter that McCain is dead, he died of brain cancer. The voter just stands there for a few minutes then leaves.

Wednesday morning the voter is back again and asks, with a big smile on his face, I’d like to talk to John McCain. By now the staffer has lost patience, and says McCain is dead, he is toast, he is never coming back, and then proceeds to ask the voter why he keep coming into the office and asking to talk to McCain if he knows McCain is dead.

The voter has a big smile on his face and says he just likes hearing the words ‘McCain is dead!’.

As others have noted, it’s likely revocation of life support rather than ending chemo”therapy” or the like.

For all his jackassery over the years, I can never forgive him for his role in floating that phony DNC dossier on President Trump when he was a candidate. Condolences to his family but I am glad he is no longer senator John McCain.

I read a while back the deal is to put his wife in the seat. Keep up the family fortune I guess.

“Code of honor”? Takes some balls just to put that to paper.

More like “Code of Dishonor”?

Ironic if at the Great White Throne Judgment he gets a Thumbs Down just like he gave the American people on the Obamacare vote.

English does not have the right phonemes to express my thoughts, so I will simplify: To my shame, I came to despise McCain. (It is shameful to despise any sentience, even those we must battle.) But I hope he found a way to God and His forgiveness. I also pray for his family.
