Well type it up, brother. There's no character count here.

I did. Read the thread!

 

[whytemyke]

Nah.

I wish we could resurrect LBJ because while he was a royal jackass, he got shit done.

Yeah. Like Vietnam. Which coincidentally is what formed a lot of who McCain is.

 

[RootCause]

That's really depressing. I wish him the best. I've lost two family members due to cancer. It's a horrible way to lose someone.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Shame on anyone gloating about this or happy about this.

No one deserves this. Not the voiceless and poor. Not the rich and powerful. If you can't see that, maybe you need to take some time off the internet and reflect on things a while.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Poor man, I wish him the best.

 

[Brashnir]

This is a troubling diagnosis.

 

[Ryzaki009]

Not even gonna pretend I feel sorry for him. Feel bad for his family that has to watch him disintegrate though. That's gonna be rough.

 

[Hilbert]

Is cancer like finding jesus where we forgive someone's sins?

For everyone saying you wouldn't wish cancer on anyone, removing people's insurance stops people from getting treatment they need to prevent cancer, like with Hepititus B.

In essence, McCain supported dooming people to cancer, including my wife.

Fuck him.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

I may not agree with his policies. I'm praying for him and his family. As for people wishing death on him, I'm praying for you too. We gotta be better people.

There are very few wishing death. Just stating basic facts and expressing a lack of empathy given his very real damage to millions of people he's in favor of voting for.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

On that story a month and a half ago I wondered in the topic on it when the last time he had his brain checked... O_O

 

[MUnited83]

Wow. Just wow. Are you serious? The dude has cancer for crying out loud.

He's also making sure millions of people won't have the means he has to fight it.

Enjoy being a cynical asshole.

A cynical asshole is still a better person by several billion miles.

 

[Psychoward]

Yeah. Like Vietnam. Which coincidentally is what formed a lot of who McCain is.

Vietnam is awful but let's not pretend that LBJ wasn't one of the best domestic presidents ever in terms of social progress.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

What are the chances that once he sees his bills for all this treatment, that he puts himself in the shoes of the majority of the US that doesn't have his means, but are equally able to get this disease, and decides to finally vote against his party for the first time ever with regard to healthcare?

I'm gonna go with 0% chance.

 

[rokkerkory]

Poor guy ((

 

[ZeoVGM]

Terrible, especially given Stump's posts in this thread.

 

[ginger ninja]

This is a guy who was in a POW for 5 1/2 years, he has easily sacrificed more for his country than all the shitposters combined. I think we are not a country anymore where we can peacefully disagree each other without calling each other a full on cunt or the face of evil on earth.

But good to see the how far lesson of tolerance goes when the person is in the opposite camp. GG Liberals.

 

[Snaku]

Because we can be the better person. We have to be better.

Yeah that's really helping us win elections and passing legislation that helps people.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Damn that's awful. Hope he recovers soon enough.

There is a difference between being happy and being indifferent. I'm sure McCain isn't happy about people not having the healthcare they need, but he surely was indifferent.

Man was a hero, but that doesn't absolve someone of criticism or elevate him above recourse.

ah yes, the Moderate Darling High Ground where we won't criticize a man whose voting decisions would've fucked over 10% of the country at once

 

[Psychoward]

Terrible, especially given Stump's posts in this thread.

I could list you the scientific way I could die from liver failure if the ACA gets repealed if you like.

 

[TyrantII]

Same Cancer that Ted Kennedy had.

If I was religious, I'd read into the fact that the same cancer that led to HCA passing, led to the GOP bill failing.

But I'm not, so I'm noting the irony.

 

[Lois_Lane]

Yeah. Like Vietnam. Which coincidentally is what formed a lot of who McCain is.

So George W Bush without the conservative baggage? I mean if the options are a do-nothing, an active enemy, and an ally with some fucked up flaws then I'm taking the ally.

 

[Shauni]

McCain played a pivotal role in getting the Steele Dossier into the right hands and effectively got the ball rolling. He remains a steadfast vote against Trump on Russian issues. Whoever replaces him will without a doubt be a much greater ally to Trump in that regard

The Steele Dossier was known about before McCain was involved in it. The vast majority of the Senate is against Trump in regards to Russia sanctions, the bill was passed 97-2. It doesn't matter, because McCain voted for Trump's agenda throughout it all.

 

[DrFunk]

Barack Obama‏ @BarackObama 2m minutes ago

John McCain is an American hero & one of the bravest fighters I've ever known. Cancer doesn't know what it's up against. Give it hell, John.

Yeah and being a pow doesn't mean you can't be a piece of shit who would have no issue condemning people to die for lack of healthcare.

GG conservatives. Only for me not for thee it seems.

Why should people "peacefully disagree" with someone trying to take away health insurance from themselves and their loved ones?

1) People like you need to stop chalking up these very serious policy differences as simply a difference of opinion, as if the republican agenda doesn't have LETHAL repercussions for millions of people

2) No one is obligated to give a shit about everyone. I don't care about this man. That's all.

Edit: Not to be read that I'm happy he has cancer, because I'm not. I'm at most indifferent and I do wish he gets better. Terrible thing to have but I really don't care about the man.

I'm generally a liberal, and I agree with you re: the need for empathy.

If you want millions of people to be without healthcare, you're evil. This isn't a "peaceful disagreement".

See, this is how you respond maturely.

sorry to hear this news

there are few things i dislike more than cancer

i wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemy :/

Trump reads Obama's tweet

"John is weak! He has cancer, why is he a hero? I like people who don't have cancer!"

 

[Artanisix]

I can't stand how spineless McCain has been these past few years as a politician, but news of brain cancer is always terrible. I hope for a swift recovery.

maybe some people do not fetishisize military service like you do

I am into some weird stuff, but not uniforms and killing people

it's ok, we all have our quirks

 

[Lois_Lane]

Once again, when they go low, you go high:

Obama is having his legacy erased by a over-overprivileged, russian bj blowing, glowing orange, barely coherent shithole.

Why the fuck would I listen to him on how I should feel? He'll still have his fucking healthcare if the GOP gets what it wants.

 

[Prodigal Son]

fuck off cancer

You're both making up a strawman argument that nobody has made (if anyone's called him a cunt or the face of evil on earth in this thread link me) and using the fallacy that people in the armed forces can never be shitty people.

And for the record my brother is a SEAL.

nobody deserves cancer and everybody deserves healthcare but as a practical matter i hope he's medically incapacitated for a very long time and unable to inflict further harm on the world

Umm, holy fuck. I know we were all joking around in that last thread, but this fucking sucks. Is this even treatable?

Trump reads Obama's tweet

"John is weak! He has cancer, why is he a hero? I like people who don't have cancer!"

It's pretty telling that Obama and Clinton released statements before Trump has, I think.

 

[eBay Huckster]

like, mccain's vote for the AHCA/BCRA, had it passed, would have literally killed my brother and one of my best friend's wife and made my own life a living hell

but he has cancer now (which i absolutely wouldn't wish on anyone having already lost 3 family members to it) so i guess i can't say anything

 

[Surfinn]

Once again, when they go low, you go high:

Nah let's just continue to condemn people with brain cancer. No class necessary!

Disagreed with the man on many things, and picking Sarah Palin was the precursor to Trump, but the dude is a fucking hero and a patriot. Fuck Cancer!

 

[nintendoman58]

I'm not sure if Trump has even heard the news.

Has Fox News reported on this yet?

 

[Gutek]

He's lucky he has good health insurance.
