Nine years to the day of the same type of rare brain cancer. Both of these men were very destructive to America.

"PHOENIX – U.S. Sen. John McCain died nine years to the day after his good friend Sen. Ted Kennedy — both of the same kind of cancer.

McCain, R-Ariz., died Saturday a little more than a year after he was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer that affects roughly 10,000 Americans a year.

Kennedy, D-Mass., a close friend of McCain's in the Senate, was diagnosed in May 2008 and died Aug. 25, 2009."

I said very early in this thread, he deserves respect from the military side, but not from the Congressional side....maybe you should go back and re-read those from the those that are military.

I would never wish brain cancer on any human being. Having said that, I am wishing peace for his daughter, Sidney, and his two adopted sons. I hope they have healed over him leaving their mother for a woman nearly two decades younger than him. His first wife stood by him through his years as a POW, despite her own hardships and pain from an accident that nearly cost her life.
I hope people remember them, too, and not just his current family.

As a Military man who put his life on the line in the Military, and then spent the rest of his life
as a Public servant to the people of America....I salute you John McCain, and rest in peace.
Prayers for your family.
Look at it like this. President Trump tweeted a condolence to McCain's family and the lefties and leftist celebs attacked him viciously for it. That is the left playing politics using McCain's death to do so.

So if people point out facts about McCain, they are accused of "bashing someone for nothing more than politics". See? There's no winning with the leftists.
Theirs is a cause that will use any opportunity to attack the opposing side no matter what tragedy they choose to hijack.

I think this is highly appropriate.

The Trump issue is a quandary. Considering his childish behavior toward McCain, if I were McCain's family, I would not want Trump near him.
McCain himself said that he didn’t want Trump at his funeral.

RIP. I hated your politics, but you were brave and a fighter. And any man can respect that in another man.

Even after a death, you can always count on whataboutisms.

You can always count on the CD faithful to turn someone's death into a moment to post malicious remarks.

The liberal response? Blasting Trump again. Trump could post Merry Christmas and liberals would hate that too. lol One person said, "everyone hates you." Really, are you that so far attached from reality that you think NO ONE voted for or supports Trump? Then they contrasted Trump's tweet with a far more detailed message from Obama about Mccain's death. A heart felt message praising his courage and sacrifice.

Umm no. It's a load of baloney. This is the asinine games of dirty politics. I don't recall Obama ever having high praise for Mccain. Oh but liberals started to love him when he turned against Trump. Now suddenly Mccain is one of the greatest politicans of our time. I have no doubt that Obama wrote his statement purely out of a motive to make Trump look bad by comparison.


Trump made himself look bad when he disparaged a POW.
