Mccain has died of brain cancer.

RIP. Honorable man when there are so few in Washington these days. His vote to kill the pathetic attempts to repeal Obamacare and replace with something provably worse will be in the history books.

Flyattractor
Well I know a few Arizonians that will think differently about this...

Cremated?

'cos I can't get the McCain Oven Chips song out of my head.


Horrible, typical, war hawk bombing for Jesus type American politician.

Flyattractor
Spoken like a True Limp Lipped Limey.

janus77
I thought the cliche was "stiff upper lip", a limp lip is something the dentist usually gives you, no?

Anyway, am I wrong? Aren't the majority of US politicians bombing-fetishists? They love a good "war", don't they?

McCain wanted one with Iran (as did Hitlarly, so glad Trump won).

Flyattractor
Name a nation where that Aint Happening. Or aint Trying to Happen.

last I looked. The U.K aint exactly at the top of the Not Going Fascist Pile.

We don't need to Drain the Swamp. We need to Burn it to the Ground and put is Ashes up on Display for a Lesson to Other NOT TO DO THE SAME!

janus77
Name a nation that has been at war, consistently, ceaselessly, for the entirety of its existence (give or take a few years of Civil War, when it wasn't expanding or jostling with other predators)?

The US has an abysmal record in the world, that's just a fact of being an empire. As an empire I don't think it's the worst (I'd much rather it than say the USSR or some Muslim global Caliphate).

The UK is the US' ally in all its wars, I don't deny that. Still doesn't make the US any better.

Most nations in the world keep to themselves, which is all that anybody can really ask of other nations (and people!),

Flyattractor
"Most Nations in the World Keep To Themselves"?

Who You Trying to Kid?

And remind me. Don't some folks try to say Isolationism is a BAD Thing?

So many "isms' nowadays.

Hay. Don't get me wrong. I would have no prob if the U.S response to some "Allie" of ours getting the Back Door Fascist Game of Tag they let happen to themselves and they looked to the U.S with that tired old "Save Us" Plea if we just smiled and gave em this response...

Israel, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, The US and UK aren't the norm.

Israel. How many Other Countries want them WIPED from the Face of the Earth Again? At least one You Put on your List.

I don't really have a prob when they blow a shit load of Camel Joy Jockeys to Hell on a No Fun Virgin Ride.

janus77
Israel is a cancer in the Middle East, just like Saudi Arabia.

How many times has Israel bombed Syria, Lebanon, Iran and any other regional nation that it believes is a "threat"?

Given that it is basically a US protectorate (like Saudi Arabia), I don't think it matters what other regional nations "want" to do, they can't and won't. Ever.

Also, Iran's bluster is just that, bluster. Like when North Korea threatens to destroy Japan or hit US territory.

I'm no fan of Muslims but, Israel is a cancer, it was formed by wiping out the Palestinian population of the land it now occupies and it only got to occupy the land by basically promising to con the US into entering into WW1 to help Britain in its insane - and vain - quest to keep Germany from becoming a rival power in Europe.

Flyattractor
So your saying we should relocate all of Israel to the U.K then? I am sure You would have no prob with tunnesl being built under Kindergarten Schools filled with bombs set to go off under them. Sure the Sex Slavers would have to move into New Tunnels of their own....

janus77
Israel basically created Hamas to get the Palestinians to switch from being secular Fatah-based opponents to Islamist terrorists.

It worked and now Palestinians are their own worst PR nightmare.

As for the children stuff, Israel actively kills 8yr olds, snipes them in view of the world and nothing happens.

Also, just how many women and children do you imagine Israel bombed to death in its frequent mass-casualty bombings?

Palestinian terrorism pales in comparison. Regardless what the US propaganda orgs. try to pump out.

Britain did offer to settle the Jews of Europe in Uganda, iirc. Might be an idea to move them to South Africa ... They're going to be needing good farmers soon, it seems.

Flyattractor
If only We had Let Hitler Finish em off.

And UGANDA!?

There you go Stealing Land From Africans again.

And last I heard. Afica aint Exactly Free of the Islamic Nasties.

Had a prob with them for quite a damn long time last I heard.

janus77
Hitler was also willing to help with the relocation, if I recall correctly. The Nazis made a great point of saying how they basically had the same outlook as the Zionists.

Yes Uganda, the UK used to have the might to make such proposals credible, back then. Not particularly moral but ... It was an offer.

I think there have been several alternative "Israels" proposed, since at least the time of Theodor Herzl.

Yes Africa has a Muslim problem, a pretty hilariously savage one too. Lots of internal wars between the same basic racial group. With the Muslims thinking that they're somehow "Arab" or have "Arab blood" and are thus superior to their fellow black Africans.

As I say, I don't think the US is a particularly *bad* Empire, but it is an Empire and it is involved all over the world, for its own ends.

Flyattractor
One World One Government would solve All Those Probs.

janus77
That's what the Muslims want.

And The Leftists.

And The NeoCons.

Personally, I like diversity. Keep nations separate and sovereign and let them be weirdly different and diverse. - within their borders.

Flyattractor
There you go Spouting those "ISMs" again...

Oh and Yes. ConSaladtudes for the McCain Family and there loss.


Keeping on Topic.

Silent Master
Well, that didn't take long.

Flyattractor
It took 81 years.

janus77
81 years,

Flyattractor
HA! Much like Death. BEAT YA TO IT!

janus77
I was busy with reddit.

Flyattractor
.........nah I won't go there in this thread.

janus77
I went so you don't have to.

That's the kind of hero I am.

Flyattractor
I prefer Anti-Heroes at best.

RIP

Surtur
And I'm saying it right now: anyone who is bothered over Trump's reaction to this is mentally ill. Period.

Anyways, RIP McCain, didn't always agree with you...but RIP nonetheless.

If you think that is bad check this out:

Vox wastes no time trashing John McCain after his death. The backlash is brutal and swift.

It's a pretty standard condolence. There's nothing wrong with it, though I suspect it will be criticized as lifeless and insincere, especially when you consider the shit he said about McCain not too long ago. McCain's family apparently doesn't want him at the funeral, and have asked former presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush to give the eulogy.

Mindship
When we need a voice like his the most, it's snuffed out. No wonder some people lose faith.

Godspeed, Mr. McCain. Thank you for your service and most of all your integrity, especially when it is so lacking on your side of the isle. I may not have always agreed with your policies, but I have eternal respect for your courage.

RIP, honorable sir.

Putinbot1
McCain had a degree of integrity within the framework he worked, better than most. RIP McCain.

It's a no win situation. These guys weren't friends. If Trump said glowing things people would just whine and say it wasn't sincere. Yet to not say anything at all would be met with outcry.

Trump Derangement Syndrome. It's obviously going to permeate every aspect of our lives now, we cannot escape it. Oh well. Moving on.

A travesty. Just a travesty.

I have better things to do, truthfully.

I don't blindly agree and follow what people say. but the best explanation I can give is George Carlin's closing bit from his "Back in Town" show.

McCain would have done more as POTUS, IMO.

Flyattractor
Done a Great Job in Arizon....as long as you ask only a certain side of the spectrum....and not the one you would think to ask.

Impediment
Obama didn't do anything while in office except make history as the first non-white POTUS.

Twice, I might add.

RIP.

McCain struck me as an honorable man with strong moral fiber.

Surtur
I wonder why Sarah Palin wasn't invited to his memorial? Was that his choice or his families?

Given she was nothing but loyal to the guy surely it wasn't McCain...

Flyattractor

Yep...Pretty Much.

Surtur
Awful petty of him if it was his choice.

Flyattractor
McCain was really a kind of Horrible Person. But then most RINOS are.

Surtur
I've always been curious as to what specific accomplishments in his career as a politician can be pointed to, cuz usually people just talk about his war service.

Flyattractor
He did have a pretty good interview with Tokyo Rose...

There's this instance of greatness:

https://media1.tenor.com/images/52f8a562375bf408129b734f23c7587f/tenor.gif

Temporarily saved health insurance for millions of people, while making Trump and the Cult of Trump cry. That's a moral win followed by a hilarious win.

So no real accomplishments, gotcha thumb up

I will say though, people said Trump was being petty with the flag thing. The more I learn about McCain, the more it seems like pettiness is a fitting tribute to the guy.

Putinbot1
Wonderful tributes from Bush and Obama for the war veteran didn't realise Trump had 5 deferments and actually criticised McCain for being a POW, Trump = piece of shit. Even Rambo was a POW.

I didn't know his mother was still alive, damn. 106.

Robtard
Well that's a damn shame then, no parent should have to outlive their children sad

Surtur
There was talk of renaming a Senate building after McCain. But some are hesitant because it's already named after someone and they don't want to set the precedent cuz then in 30-40 years the name could be changed again. So who knows what will be done.
