All right, I"ll be the first to say it. Amid all the nice words everyone in the media is saying about John McCain--

No. Just no.

Yes, he was a true war hero. And he used to be a moderate Senator.

That was then. This is now. My, he's fallen.

1/6

McCain gave us Sarah Palin. That alone s enough to cancel a lifetime of achievement. Fuck that.

McCain became part of the obstructionist Republican Lie Machine and tried to oppose and then tear down everything President Obama sought to accomplish. Fuck that, too.

2/6

McCain joined in the lies and slander against Hillary Clinton. BIG fuck that.

Once Trump seized power. other than one (1) Senate vote, McCain has been a Total Team Trump Toady. Yeah, he's said some strong words, but never followed it up with a meaningful vote. Fuck it.

3/6

Other than one (1) vote, McCain could have been replaced by Rand Paul or Ted Cruz.

People are saying nice things about him now that it was announced he has decided to stop all treatment for his aggressive cancer.

Here's what I say:

4/6

In a few weeks there will be an open Senate seat in Arizona. Very likely, someone will be named to temporarily replace McCain. That gives the Fascist Party his vote back, and makes Kavanagh more likely, and endangers Social Security and Medicare and Obamacare. Fuck.

5/6

But it also means there will be a special election soon for the Arizona Senate Seat. It's time to start working TODAY to flip that seat Blue.

No tears for a guy who had the ability to keep Gorsuch off the court but didn't.

Elect a Democrat to McCain's near-empty seat.

6/6
