EVERY inch of John McCain’s body shouted endurance. The brisk, slightly swinging walk, the stiffly held arms, the tight shoulders and clenched smile, all carried the mark of Vietnam like one scar. His arms were stiff because they had been broken when he fell out of the sky in his bomber, then yanked up by ropes in prison day after day. Released from the “Hanoi Hilton”, after five and a half years of sporadic torture and solitary confinement, he could no longer raise them to comb his hair. His hair itself had turned white, though he was only in his 30s. He walked with something like a strut because his damaged knees had hardly any cartilage left in them. Not that this stopped him hiking for miles through the Grand Canyon and the desert hills of Arizona, the stunningly beautiful piece of America that he represented in Congress for more than 30 years. The swell of his chest was pride in what he felt he had achieved there.

John McCain was one of the most traitorous pieces if shit who was ever born an American as far as I'm concerned. And from a line of traitors like his father who tried to help the Israelis sink the USS Liberty with all hands aboard in addition to getting is spoiled brat kid off the hook when Jihad Johnny burnt down the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal doing a wet start.
From the Keating five to crazy warmongering to supporting ISIS John McCain has been a never ending stream of disasters. At least for the U.S. Israel did well by the man. Today is a very happy day for the United States. Unfortunately we need a years-long string of them to clean the place up a bit.
Finally someone who hasn't been brain saturated with fluoride and whose nervous system hasn't been damaged by glyphosate, aspartame and the cohort of chemicals that the toxic food inc. lie about.
Personally, I would just say that it's a great piece in the arsenal of the enemies of america that has fallen ! Sadly more to come...
Why do I profoundly despise this scumbag treasonous liar?
Judicial Watch Obtains IRS Documents Revealing McCain’s Subcommittee Staff Director Urged IRS to Engage in “Financially Ruinous” Targeting
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released newly obtained internal IRS documents, including material revealing that Sen. John McCain’s former staff director and chief counsel on the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee, Henry Kerner, urged top IRS officials, including then-director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner, to “audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous.” Kerner was appointed by President Trump as Special Counsel for the United States Office of Special Counsel.
The explosive exchange was contained in notes taken by IRS employees at an April 30, 2013, meeting between Kerner, Lerner, and other high-ranking IRS officials. Just ten days following the meeting, former IRS director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner admitted that the IRS had a policy of improperly and deliberately delaying applications for tax-exempt status from conservative non-profit groups.
Lerner and other IRS officials met with select top staffers from the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee in a “marathon” meeting to discuss concerns raised by both Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) that the IRS was not reining in political advocacy groups in response to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. Senator McCain had been the chief sponsor of the McCain-Feingold Act and called the Citizens United decision, which overturned portions of the Act, one of the “worst decisions I have ever seen.”
In the full notes of an April 30 meeting, McCain’s high-ranking staffer Kerner recommends harassing non-profit groups until they are unable to continue operating. Kerner tells Lerner, Steve Miller, then chief of staff to IRS commissioner, Nikole Flax, and other IRS officials, “Maybe the solution is to audit so many that it is financially ruinous.” In response, Lerner responded that “it is her job to oversee it all:”

McCain's office urged IRS to use audits as weapons to destroy political advocacy groups - UPDATED
A new report from Judicial Watch reveals a concerted effort from Sen. John McCain’s office to urge the IRS under Lois Lerner to strike out against political advocacy groups, including tea party organizations.
Thanks to the results of an extensive Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that has been delayed for many years, Judicial Watch has obtained several key emails from 2013 that chronicle McCain’s and Democrat Sen. Carl Levin’s efforts to reign in the advocacy groups that sprouted immediately following the Citizens United decision from the Supreme Court.
The documents uncovered by Judicial Watch include notes from a high-level meeting on April 30, 2013 between powerful members of McCain’s and Levin’s staffs and Lerner, then-director of tax exempt organizations at the IRS under Barack Obama. The notes reveal the suggestions from McCain’s former staff director and chief counsel on the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee, Henry Kerner who urges Lerner to use IRS audits on the advocacy groups to financially ruin them:

Then can we ask his track record on 9.11 inquiry? maybe a relation with pedo island little st. james? or about the hub in his home state?
I find as always pathetic, to not see this man for what he did in his political career... but I guess, those skeletons have a lot of chains to other so called powerful entities...
anyway : tea party 1 - mccain 0. next.
For it is appointed for a man to die once, and after this judgement. We will all die one day but the question will should ask ourselves is what's after death. May his soul rest in peace
May his soul rest in perfect peace. America and the rest of the civilized world will dearly missed him
Republican Senator, War hero
A war hero who have spent most of the war in prison.A great hero of ISIS.

Wow, that's quite sad. It's surprising that I'm literally hearing this here for the first time. He really fought hard for the interests of his people. At least in the manner that he knew to. No matter your politics, I think this is a man who should be respected. Was it not recently he was taken off his treatment? I thought he was getting better. I sincerely hope he will be celebrated as a hero that he is.
RIP John McCain.
A real American patriot.
He'll be dearly missed.
A real American patriot.
He'll be dearly missed.
The political world mourn the demise Republican Senator, War hero, and conservative maverick, John McCain. May his gentle soul RIP
