American Government Thread 2: RIP John McCain, 81

That guy was an American hero. Hopefully his legacy inspires others.

I had actually dropped it from the discourse default 20 to 10 when I reconfigured stuff a while ago, you commie bastard. But I will decrease it to 8 characters in McCain’s honor. Consider it my version of half-mast.

i was for mccain for pres back in the day, till i heard rumors he wanted to make supplements and vitamins prescription only…then i was like nope. guy suffered alot in nam but he had corruption issues and too in bed with health care industry lobbyists for my tastes.

McCain deserves respect. Yes I hated half of his political choices and will vote Dem for his replacement BUT really even this heroes death has to be about Trump…

again being on that side is just fucking disgusting… But again this is why Trump is BANNED from a funeral and Obama and Bush are asked to give eulogies…

I didn’t agree with all of McCain’s politics, but the man was a hero and I respected him. RIP.

I’m wondering who here is gonna defend this BS.

Millions upon millions of 'Murikans.

They can’t think critically to save their own lives.

Literally.

And yet:

They are allowed to vote

They are allowed to drive

They are allowed to own firearms

Fuck them.

And Fuck Trump.

Even Cobra would run TRUMP’S ass up the flag pole full mast for treason.

Then flag pole would only need one “l”.

Flag pole paradoxically taking an “l”.

For THE TEAM.

Yeah, I think that’s a strong possibility. Holding Trump to any kind of standards that we’ve held every other President to is predicated solely upon the Democrats retaking Congress, and given that this is a historically slanted season (24 of 36 Senate seats up for renewal are held by Democrats)… I don’t think that’s going to happen without a miracle.

kinda covers it.

There’s a legitimate cult going on here. Think about how angry certain people get if you have a different point of view. Think about how that The_Donald entirely bans different points of view and anybody not adhering to the groupthink. In fairness, I’ll ban you here for being a dick that can’t put up with other points of view… but that’s the only way to ensure a healthy dialogue. If your conversations are predicated upon nobody else having a different view, of attacking those who disagree with you, you are deranged. Attacking the media is one of the great current tools in that crazy mindset. “Truth isn’t truth” --Giuliani or Orwell, who can even tell.

We know for a fact that 30% of the electorate, a minority of the population, is going to vote Trump no matter what. Everybody else needs to vote or we’re fucked*.

As re “* Fucked”: The Republicans aren’t interested in holding themselves accountable: they have looted the public treasury for trillions that you and your children will be paying back with heavy interest. If you want the rule of law to prevail, your vote this election is for a Democrat. Here’s some examples why:

The weaponization of holding power is disturbing. I think the Republicans have realized that while they are in the minority, the majority has shown that they’re not going to revolt so the Republicans can slowly bleed the country to death.

No, no - I KNOW 4 more years of everything you asserted is probable, given the massive minority of blind self-destruction that is the Trump constituency.

I was asking if you actually thought that there would be anything left AFTERWARDS.

Been seeing a lot of mention online about when McCain shut down a woman that said Obama was an Arab while he was campaigning. It’s crazy to think that this was only ten years ago. While McCain wouldn’t appease people like that, politics have become warped in such a way that Trump took those type of voters and ran with it. America is fucked.
