Screw John McCain until he actually does something!

"John McCain—the original Maverick, ol’ Walnuts, the brave teller of truths—is somehow once again positioning himself, to credulous journalists, as a renegade Republican who isn’t afraid to buck his party, despite his three-decade record of not ever actually bucking his party in any meaningful way."

"...McCain’s sole inviolable principle is that we must spend an unlimited amount of money on war with everyone forever."

"McCain’s record of brave or maverick-y actions consists of “giving good quote to reporters.” That’s it."

"He’s going to say various anti-Trump things, on TV and to reporters, while never using his very real power as a senior Republican senator to interrupt the implementation of Trump’s, and his party’s, eschatological agenda."

And, as someone in the comments section noted..."He has to answer to his maker for Sarah Palin. I hope God’s in an Old Testament kinda mood that week."

McCain is pretty worthless. Somebody here was inexplicably urging a Go Fund Me for him the other day pretty much for just saying something negative about Trump.

He'll say all kinds of shit to get attention, then vote for whatever his party wants. Sound and fury, signifying nothing.

McCain introducing Palin into The American body politic is more than enough reason for him to be banished from his beloved "Sunday Morning talk fest"!

Pretty sturdy insult from a sitting senator.

Other than that . . . same old Johnny. blah blah blah.

He spent eight years undermining Obama. He knows what's right, but votes and works for what's wrong.

McCain and Collins, the two "reasonable" and "approachable" ones, will always fail to come through when needed.

Don't get your hopes up with these two.
