U.S. Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) passed away Saturday afternoon following a heroic battle with a treatable, but incurable, form of brain cancer know as Glioblastoma.
He was 81.
McCain’s family was by his side when he left this Earth.
Too bad his war-time heroics didn’t translate into being a consistent, reliable, conservative Republican. Ronald Reagan’s 11th commandment – ‘Thou shall not speak ill of another Republican’ didn’t apply to Sen. McCain. He seemed to enjoy trashing other Republicans and the media happily obliged in spreading his anti-Republican message.
Thank God he spoke out. The truth often hurts.
The truth that McCain was part of the Russian Dossier hurt McCain. McCain is a legend among the deep staters. Big deal.
@3 where did this information originate?
Do some research. McCains buddy Lindsey Graham has given several interview related to what I said.
McCain was very much apart of the political coup against Trump. To hell with him.
@6 for that reason alone he is a great man. Down with Red Don and his lap dogs.
@5 I do research peckerwood, Trump is a hillbilly thief.
Agree with @6.
Trump has his flaws but he won an electoral victory where, for the first time in over a generation, a Republican took the rust belt. And he did it his way: slash and burn, punch and counter-punch. As for McCain, he played Mr. Nice Guy in 2008. He didn’t go after Obama; he went along with the media; he ran positive ads; and he got his A– kicked. Trump turned the tables on politics and led the Republicans out of the wilderness and into the White House with no help from the likes of McCain.
Yes, Trump won. But he won without honor and led the Republican Party INTO the wilderness; a dark, evil, fascist and oligarchical wilderness from which it might never emerge. Is anyone really stupid enough to believe Trump and his kind give a damn about the ordinary hard-working Americans who now worship at his altar of shame? Remember this when you end up with nothing while Trump and his friends mock you behind your backs all the way to the bank. Enjoy your four years, suckers, if he makes it that far.
#10 can you articulate how Trump has hurt you? Your whiny statement doesn’t tell us much other than you are a liberal clown.
Yes Trump won. WON big despite the rigged election on the liberal side.
He beat the Clinton and Bush dynasty who poured millions into trying to take down a non politician.
We now know that certain members of the FBI/DOJ also tried to take down Trump with the assistance from John McCain and a few others who knew Trump might bust up their corrupt gravy trains they have enjoyed for decades.
We now have a small Army led by Robert Mueller, and 17 hack liberal lawyers, 50 FBI Agents and support staff who have been turning over every rock they cross looking for dirt on Trump for the past 18 months with ZERO success in serious evidence against the primary target Donald Trump.
Some of us have lost count on the FAKE NEWS stories thrown out there in hopes of helping the liberal cause.
This has been as funny as the years of predictions on what the outcome of the Colonies case would be.
Followed by the predictions on the over whelming win Mike Ramos would have in the recent election.
Hilarious a UNKNOWN former Deputy DA won that election by 9,500 votes.
You anonymous heroes keep trying to sell your bullshit.
@10
“But he won without honor?”
There’s no such thing in politics.
That’s why it’s called a ‘Bloodsport.’
You’ve been watching too many movies.
Winning is winning. And he won in the Democrats’ own backyard. Quick a feat for a political novice.
Kenny, you should join Losers United.
@14 can’t do that it’s run by liberals.
No Kenny, your the Commander in Chief. LOL
So sad to see a bunch of gullible low-income lackeys think they’ve won when crooks like Trump and the Colonies bunch win.
Anonymous #17:
Why do you feel that “the Colonies Bunch” are “crooks?” Please be specific.
@17
I joint 18’s question.
@17
I join 18’s question.
It would be amazing if 17 could articulate anything, but a troll is a troll.
We all know Trump and the Colonies WINs were huge and seriously upset the Deep State apple cart.
But 17 can sure tell us what BIGGER wins his liberal friends have that are out there, that we might have missed.
Otherwise Admin should just block this clown.
Jim, ban #17.
@22 That would be a fascist move on his part
#17, you ruin your argument when you link the Colonies men with Trump. A jury acquitted the Colonies men. There is no correlation between the two. Let Trump have his day in court when Mueller is finished, if he finds something. Mueller is a Republican and held in high esteem. Wait it out. Also, wait out the economy. History has proven giving big bucks to the rich folks while ignoring the rest of us does not work(Great Depression, Great Recession). Let history decide this one before you start linking events. Kamala Harris is a joke, corrupt as the day is long and she is the darling of the Democratic party. There is no “good” side and “bad” side.
I don’t believe Administrator will block this guy. He has let a lot worse be said on here, about himself at that. First amendment folks. If you love it, you love it for all. This person has said nothing worthy of blocking.
And, to address this thread, Rest in Peace Senator McCain. And thank you for your service.
Like him or hate him, he served his country. Give the BS a rest for a minute folks. Unless you have been in a POW camp for years. Then go ahead….
#25 what bs is being said about McCain that isn’t true? Are you suggesting we should dismiss his actions or conduct for the last several years because of his service 50 years ago? Seems his actual service is being questioned by many unfortunately. I didn’t notice any of his war pals talking at his funeral. Guys who actually served with him. Did you?
#26 I’m no fan of Senator McCain but I do respect his service unlike our last four presidents.
#26, this is #25 and also #24. What I said is that the person who equated the Colonies men with Trump was wrong. The two are unrelated. And Kamala Harris is the darling of the Democrats and she is corrupt. I also think attacking McCain because of his opposition to Trump is wrong. And seriously, the man just died and this thread has the title “Remembering U.S. Senator John McCain”. My problem with so much of the dialogue is it seems everyone is either for or opposed to Trump. Every issue now has a relationship to Trump. I prefer to think on issues and not pledge my loyalty to a man. That is America folks. And since I am now here writing, I don’t think that the way Trump handled McCain’s death is presidential. Note I said nothing about my other opinions of him or his policies. I can think on a case by case basis.
#28 tell us what presidential is? Tell us what Trump did wrong? Surely Trump didn’t have to release Air Force 2 to be used by the McCain family and friends.
McCain tried to take Trump down with a Fake Dossier and you speak of Trump being non presidential?
Yes everyone should be nice to a war hero who was involved in a political coup against a duly elected President.
Just remembering John McCain like the title says.
With the exception of Kenneth Holtz, who I presume is who he says he is, you’re all a bunch of cowards hiding behind fake nicknames or the cloak of anonymity. Who cares what you cowards think? “I hate Trump” or “I love Trump” or “I hate John McCain because he didn’t support Trump”. Read what you all have written. Most of it is bullshit. No one cares about what you cowards think.
William C. Travers, Kenneth Holtz used to use a pseudonym, ACU I believe it was. I believe he uses his own now because someone else can’t post using it like they can a pseudonym. He has also seen so much around here that he is a wealth of information. It’s good he uses his name. I tried once, if you want to be called names, use your own…. Mr. Holtz has a thicker skin than most. But dude, this is a blog. One writes on a blog for discourse, and if you come here, you care what the other cowards think, by definition. Or don’t read the comments right?? I love the lofty types who come here and act better than everyone else. You are here right??
#29, I am old school so I think he should have done what his advisors said, tweet out something respectful, fly the flag a little longer, and stay quiet for a minute. What coup??? And no, not Air Force 2, unless he wants to be like the SBC Sheriff’s department who has used their helicopters like an amusement ride for the peeps…
@30. Womp, womp
@30, 31 thank you for the words.
It’s nice to see a serious issue regarding Annonymous hero’s has made national news in the last couple days.
The famous Annonymous Trump Administration official who is working against Trump from within.
Of course it’s the New York Times saying so which is equivalent to our famous San Bernardino Sun. Take that with a grain of salt I guess.
Another word used here often, but used a lot in the last couple days is COWARD! I’am surprised to see many on the left who are saying this anonymous source is simply NOT good and should step up and attached their name to their op ed comments.
Some of us know they are being hunted as we speak. Sure hope that person is a BRAVE individual capable and willing to stand their ground for the obvious consequences they will face in the legal and political world.
Some of us here know that SBSD, DA’s Office, FBI have collected IP addresses either through subpoena or electronic surveillance. They know who’s posting what, if not now, back when the Colonies case was pending and numerous scandals were being posted.
So when anyone wants to make a Anonymous troll a victim of whatever they just have to justify their actions and comments before a jury.
If you think that would be a easy task, then I’am still amused at why that hasn’t happened in over a decade this blog has existed.
Talk trash, claim you’re scared of whoever and get a jury to feel sorry for you anonymous conduct??? OKAY.
McCain served his country faithfully and was a hero. More than we can say about Capt. Bonespurs who avoided service, has five children by three marriages (cheating on all three), declared bankruptcy six times, cheated with porn stars, and is probably being blackmailed by Putin. Pretty easy to tell who was more deserving of our respect.
#34 you forgot to mention McCains first wife the one he left who was disabled and helpless. Take your selective bullshit elsewhere.
How many planes did McCain crash #34?
#36 4 planes. Almost last in his class at the Naval Academy. A rebellious Naval Officer or maverick if you wish. Tons of accusations on what happened on the USS Forrestall. No one who served with him was at his funeral. Seems to be more evidence against him than Judge Kavanaugh. Damn FBI should have investigated.
