haha usually when we post this picture we are mad at him. Not this time! The Houston Chronicle ran a pretty routine story Wednesday about Donald Trump's designee for Secretary of Russian Friendship Rex Tillerson, the ExxonMobil CEO, making the rounds of top senators and trying to convince them he'd be the best ever diplomat who never had a day of government experience in his life. It's about what you'd expect, with all the stuff about Tillerson meeting with members of the Foreign Relations Committee ahead of next week's confirmation hearings and trying to convince the senators he's not merely Vladimir Putin's personal petro-puppet, but also a guy completely qualified to run the State Department. Even though he's never held a job outside Exxon, where he's worked since
Personally if you are a member of this republican party you are guilty by association. McCain has been an example of a bygone era where negotiation and nuance were still part of the political machinery. That said he has voted for plenty of repugnant legislation so he can still go fuck himself with a poorly maintained chainsaw.
But like it is said in this piece, there are times where I think I see an irritated and disheartened veteran kind of pop like a boil. I would be nice if somehow he could shrug off the yoke of partisan politics and speak with his heart for the next few years. Of course that assumes a) he has a heart, and b) it won't say horrible things....
He almost died because he turned his plane around to look at the bomb blasts. A thing that is both already something he was told not to do and ahd already been shot twice doing. The man is simple a rich wastral and the world would have been better off had he died.
Yes. One of the older ones. He's only slightly less old than Strom Thurmond, whose ears were still ringing from the Big Bang when he cast his last vote in the Senate.
Think Dok's got a point. This guy was POW for years, refusing to leave early when his influential Dad gave him an out. Can't imagine he relates well to DJT, who only likes vets who 'weren't captured'. As this may, indeed, be his last rodeo, perhaps McCain will become the honorary Wonkette curmudgeon-in-chief we've all been hoping for.
Could this be the time that McCain finally says something gutsy and doesn't walk it back at the end of the news cycle? I guess we'll know in three days or so. I'll be tickled as hell if McCain doesn't flip on this.

After Trump called him a "loser" for being caught by the Viet Cong I do not know how McCain can be in the same building as DT. Maybe I'm just a pussy?
Palin thinks the Viet Cong is that spicy pork dish at the local Chinese restaurant in Wasilla.

I'm hoping the Homintern will ban him from homosexuality for life. The Hets are more used to dealing with this kind of skeeze...
Especially not in this loathsome little scorpion's case.
I like this McCain. He's just about had enough of everyone's shit.
Strom Thurmond anyone?
Nah- he will quit before the end of his term, possibly in less than 4 years to allow the repub gov of AZ to appoint a replacement

Yup. It never be said enough: Fuck you, Walnuts!
Walnuts and Drumpf are the same; each will only do what is best for himself in the moment.
I think he designed the flag and wrote the Battle Hymn of the Republic at Valley Forge.
