McCain's father and grandfather were admirals, he didnt come to the party empty-handed. After all, he was able to get a nie government job...

Have a great day!

Ron Johnson and Kelli Ward are both fine examples of the kind, caring people who represent the GOP.

Is it wrong of me to imagine McCain stopping at the end of that to say "Bwaak bwak bwak bwak BWAAAAK!"

I really wonder what would happen to them say if the Blue states said we're not going to support you any more. If Blue states said we'll manage on our own have a good life and walk away how long until they couldn't function.

One of my mom's cousins thought she was finally going through "the change" at 49. Turns out she was pregnant. Both mom and baby were fine but she sure was shocked and walked around in a daze for a day or so.

It must have been the tumor. You know he had had surgery, so who knows? They might have removed part of his brain. Yeah, that's it. They removed part of his brain so he couldn't vote right.

Damn! If only they removed his heart he would have been able to vote correctly. Hell, it worked for most of the rest of the caucus.

It'd be a much more interesting experiment to watch from across an international border than while being strapped to them at the hip on the way down the sinkhole.

I'm not a fan of McCain, but more of his statement about Trump's latest attack of idiocy:"North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States," he said. “They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”

"But Mr McCain, who is undergoing treatment for brain cancer, said that language would likely push the historic foes to war, and urged Mr Trump to follow the foreign policy mantra adopted by former US President Theodore Roosevelt.""In other words, the old walk softly but carry a big stick, Teddy Roosevelt's saying, which I think is something that should've applied because all it's going to do is bring us closer to a serious confrontation. I think this is very, very, very serious."Compared to Sen. "Butchmeup" Graham, McCain is a paragon of peace.

Very well. I won't say he lacks empathy, compassion, humanity and any semblance of decency.I won't say his soul is a shriveled mote that most closely resembles the feces of the average rat.I won't say he's a fucking asshole who has no idea what public servant means, so long as his pockets get lined, and mention walls and when the revolution comes and all of that.I hope Jenny is happy I did not say anything bad.

To be fair, in the case of Collins anyway, she's a pretty staunch PP/woman's right type. To her it is not so much a vote against the ACA as it was a vote for woman's health.It's respectable to be agin' something and still try to work with it for the good of the people you are being paid to represent. Our job now is to convince her it is a better idea to fix than get rid of.

I'm confused. Is the argument that only a Republican with a brain tumor could possibly act like a compassionate human being? Well, I guess if that's the explanation, we have to take that at face value.

I had a neuron working for me once. I fired him.

i think we're 1/2 ok for now. it's not congress that's our threat (reconciliation is dead right? which means they need an actual bill which is nowhere in the works). so medicaid expansion at least is ok.

however, the peestain admin can fuck with us (and are fucking with us) and destroy the single market. and are doing so. unless that moderate conference gets something done in sept.

that is my new nightmare.

Nope, I bet that tacky piss-yellow toupee-weave he's got is dry-clean only - he wears a big gold monogrammed shower cap with his bathrobe, so he looks like a fat mottled toadstool from a Russian version of Alice in Wonderland.
