JTrost1234 21 Posted August 25, 2018 I feel so bad for his mother. I think she's around 104 and has to see this. I'm sure this will kill her, if old age doesn't. Let's pray for a miracle, that John McCain pulls through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're 106 aren't you - like - experienced in seeing those around you pegging out; or is the rest of his family still alive too? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because he has been heartless and cruel to McCain before he got ill.Wishing him well would be seen rightly as hypocrisy.If Trump had any decency though he would have made a statement apologising for denigrating him and say he is praying for him and his family as some things stretch beyond political arguments.This is Trump though so that won't happen. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsa Zsa's leg 884 Posted August 26, 2018 RIP. Don't agree with his policies at all, but I disagree with the way his party treated him in his waning days even more. I do appreciate his ACA vote, he stood up, when others sat down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted August 26, 2018 Shame to here. Don’t really agree with his politics, but he was definitely one of the better politicians out there. We really need more like him in today’s world. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted August 26, 2018 Thought I'd check to see if Trump finally had something nice to say about him- here is his latest tweet... ..and to think they could have had McCain as President... R.I.P to a much greater man than Pres Trump could ever be ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JTrost1234 21 Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) he passed. Just heard it on 1010 WINS news. Now they're breaking the news. This is so sad. I was hoping he'd live longer. They're playing old interviews on the radio. It's sad to hear his voice. As I look over the list, I see a lot more deaths imminent, due to the high ages among the people. I see a lot of 90+, even 95+ people. Edited August 26, 2018 by JTrost1234 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted August 26, 2018 Oh well at least he lived long enough to see Trumps worst week since becoming President . I can imagine him beaming up to heaven saying 'so long sucker' to Trump with a grin on his face and a thumbs down sign ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted August 26, 2018 Feel bad for the McCain family, but I can't really bring myself to like him. For all the good things he did, there was a ton of bad. From saying "I hate the gooks", to singing "bomb bomb bomb Iran", to inflicting Sarah Palin and the Tea Party upon America. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
