For Republicans and our country, turnabout is not fair play.
Senator John McCain waited two years to get his revenge against Donald Trump for saying that McCain is not a war hero. But with a giant middle finger — or more precisely a thumb — McCain, perhaps assuming that he’ll never run for election again, showed Donald Trump that repealing and replacing Obamacare would not be the “so easy” venture that the great “deal-maker” promised.
I understand that these two men don’t like each other. I understand that revenge is a dish best served cold. But by looking to hurt President Trump — which I have no doubt was one motivation of the “maverick” Senator — John McCain cemented his reputation as a politico who always talked a good game and who traded on his former heroism but who in the end was a harmful influence in American politics. (I say cemented because McCain’s reputation had already gone substantially in that direction with his involvement in the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold Incumbent Protection Act — which may not be its official name — his incessant efforts to get and keep America in wars, and his mindless desire to promote “bipartisanship” over principle, party, and, in this case, country.)
In the closing moments of his “triumphant” return-to-the-Senate speech on Tuesday night, Senator McCain said that after the debates and votes on health care reform, he planned to stay in D.C. for a few days managing the Senate approval of the National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”), normally a fairly non-controversial process, before returning home for treating for his recently diagnosed brain cancer.

Moving on to happier thoughts, maybe we should start a pool for who comes closest to pegging the day of Ace McCain’s imminent death? I think he dies December 17, 2017.
Captured. Right. After being shot down by ground fire while flying too low contrary to protocol. Some hero.
Here you go. The US Senate aping the Roman senate is like pimples pretending to be volcanoes, but here is the vid and an article.

A superior article, without the video, is here:
Then he became “the song bird of Hanoi.”
“I wonder how much longer we as a nation are gonna put up with this crap?”
Until the checks bounce. As long as some core of enforcers remain on payroll and will come out of barracks to forcibly keep the fedbeast in place, and states chained to their diktat, the ‘union’ will endure. The day the nomenklatura can no longer rely on force, it falls apart in pieces like the former Soviet Union.
He's been an ahole for a long time.
Perfect.
It will. His particular type of cancer is rare, but is very aggressive. Since it is in his somewhat of a brain, its inoperable. He has less than a year, and maybe only 6 months or less, depending on how long its been infesting inside him. Information has been limited, but it may have already spread and he might be a stage 4 at this time. Most don’t live out the year when diagnosed. I have a nephew ( 11 year old ) with the same cancer, but his lodged in his neck just below his brain, so they were able to remove the tumor, but the doctors in SF said it will come back and when it does, he will maybe have 2 weeks. In the meantime, he bought 2 years, however he is paralyzed. Nasty type of cancer. No cure at this time.
I’m so sorry.
LOL my husband already announced that he intends to piss on McCain’s grave!
I’ve always believed DJT was telling McCain to STFU about his VN experience, and trying to explain there were many heroic men who were not captured, and never received proper recognition for their contributions and sacrifices...
Nor did they trade on their war record like McCain has done, and most remain unrecognized and all but forgotten to the American people at large...Col Leo Thorsness, USAF, MOH. comes immediately to mind... ...
Thanks for posting
“Nor did they trade on their war record like McCain has done”
That is one of many reasons to dislike the bastard. He was a lousy pilot and got by on daddy’s authority.
McCain, no longer refered to as "SONGBIRD"........now "$HITBIRD!"
John McCain was CAPTURED "A SURRENDER MONKEY" !!!!
I'm a fixer!
McCain’s display on Thursday night was disgusting - going to the well of the Senate, standing there and dramatically shouting “no” and turning his thumb down - he might as well have jammed it in the eyes of Americans all over the country - what a child......
Sigh - been trying real hard not to kick him when he’s down, but I guess Trump was right to say he wasn’t a war hero - heroes don’t screw with those they swore to take care of just because said hero no longer has anything to lose.
