Sean 6,310 Posted January 24, 2018 Lindsey Graham went to see him at his home a few days ago.Said he was encouraged by his progress but that they "shared tears" and that he hopes to be back to the Senate soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,310 Posted January 24, 2018 "I was very pleased with his progress," Graham toldCNN's Dana Bash. "He's making progress. We laughed a little bit. We cried a little bit. I admire him greatly and I'm hoping he can come back and be with us." Note how he says hopes rather than saying he will be back soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 2, 2018 The latest:Meghan McCain is excited for her dad John McCain’s progress. The 81-year-old Arizona senator has been fighting a Stage 4 brain tumor, and she opened up about it on Thursday night’s The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. “He’s doing really well. It’s a really scary cancer." She added that her father went through a “rough time” at Christmas, noting that he has since “made this crazy amazing recovery.” “I guess I shouldn’t be surprised because he is so resilient in so many different ways,” she added. “He’s a tough bastard. I hope he comes back to Washington soon, because I would like to see him go up against Trump a little more.” SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted February 9, 2018 Why are they pretending he can recover? Nobody survives this type of tumour.It's only a matter of time before he dies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be curious where that "7th most likely to die" figure comes from. I mean, I know he is number 8 on this year's list, but that has little to do with the likelihood of death (e.g. Errol Christie was only #49 on last year's list, although he was thought to be a "dead cert"). EDIT: I also checked the Drop Forty, but it seems he was #6 there. Close, but no cigar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a lousy piece filled with half truths and misplaced anger. You can tell this guy is one of those that worships trump and thinks anyone opposed to trump is Hitler. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That being said, I broadly agree with MadHatter that it's a lousy "piece" (hence the shudder quotes) and I wasn't really "arguing" about it, just wondering about his seemingly strange interpretation of DeathList rankings.

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted February 14, 2018 That Arizona loon who's trying to take Jeff Flake's seat is calling for McCain to step down... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zsa Zsa's leg 884 Posted February 15, 2018 11 hours ago, Joey Russ said: That Arizona loon who's trying to take Jeff Flake's seat is calling for McCain to step down... Hope she wins the primary. It'll be an Angle/O'Donnell/Palin style meltdown and easily give the race to Kyrsten Sinema. If not, 85-year-old openly racist sheriff Joe Arpaio who's also running is just as good if not better for handing the dems a much needed senate seat. Speaking of Arpaio, he would definitely obit and is under the stress of a major senate campaign, he turns 86 this year and should definitely be considered.

It disappoints me that someone actually wrote that and thought it was a good idea to include their name and picture to it as if they were proud of it. He should be ashamed, the tone of that whole piece is genuinely disappointing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,436 Posted February 15, 2018 Just an over-partisan piece, forget it. imo if you really dislike someone beyond party politics - like, say David Cameron for being a useless fuckwit who screwed over your personal finances* - I find death far less rewarding than their living to an old age knowing their reputation is forever mud. Fate worse than death for your modern legacy obsessed politco. *Sean and others may wish to sub in Gordon Brown here if they so wish. It's an analogy, not a party political point.

Incidentally that article linked above rocks a bit... Before I go any further, I am not inciting violence onto Mr McCain or his family; lets make that clear. I only want John McCain to suffer the same blow as the millions that died in all the unnecessary wars that he helped cause, let God handle his fate. Most people who defend McCain do so because he was a ‘war hero’. People who call for a war over lies about ‘Saddam Hussain’s weapons of mass destruction’ just to make money from stealing foreign oil are not war heroes, they are war criminals.
