So much for the tumorous lobe.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Hey guys only positive well wishes and thoughts allowed.

 

[Sagroth]

If this shitshow of a bill gets passed tomorrow, I truly hope McCain's legacy when he passes will be solely about his vote while on government subsidized healthcare to strip coverage from 10s of millions. He'll deserve nothing less.

 

[inky]

If he votes yes, I call dibs on the Fuck John McCain thread.

No but you're supposed to empathize with this war hero breh

 

[D4Danger]

for real though why is an eighty year old with brain cancer allowed to stumble out of hospital and vote on anything.

 

[Lys Skygge]

"I can't die.. must kill poor people first"

Exactly what I thought when I read the thread title.

 

[Psychoward]

Hey guys only positive well wishes and thoughts allowed.

did you know he was a veteran

 

[Anung]

B-b-b-but he's a War hero!

 

[~Kinggi~]

Right now think tanks are scrambling for the most "patriotic" and "enthusiastic" rallying cry behind McCain as the driving force to repeal and replace, cause you know, this guy dying of cancer came back to work to do a solid for the people.

Book it.

Rich people need their tax cuts. Gotta kill off some poor people.

 

[airmangataosenai]

I dont think well of what he is doing either, but fucking hell at some of the posts in this thread.

 

[btrboyev]

Hasn't he been saying before he was diagnosed that they need to work with Dems on a healthcare? It is that typical McCain talk?

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

So they’ll change it to the bill that just went down in flames? The same bill that the Senate parlimentarian ruled can’t be passed via reconciliation? Why do they think it’ll work this time?

It's either the BCRA or the repeal-and-delay bill from 2015 or maybe a surprise entrant like a WWE run-in or all three and more or...

The Senators voting on the motion to debate have no idea what they're voting to debate on.

 

[Widdle Puppy]

Reptilian piece of slime.

If he votes against I will (gladly) eat all the crow.

same

would be an epic face turn if he votes no as an FU to trump but it's likely not so mccain can go to the grave as a lap dog of the president that insulted his legacy as an american hero.

 

[woolley]

Well gotta fuck over the American people before he kicks the bucket. Gonna go out swinging.

 

[Hierophant]

Something something most disgusting thread on GAF something something I'm going to ignore all context

Did I get it right?

 

[rjinaz]

Obviously his intention here is to vote Yes. What would be the purpose of risking his life to say No, when staying put has the same effect?

Yep. People need to let this idea not even start to creep in their heads.

They are Republicans. They are who we know they are.

 

[acheron_xl]

He was told he'd skip the commoner's queue at the pearly gates.

 

[Sunster]

B-b-b-but he's a War hero!

did he even do anything heroic? or is getting captured heroic?

 

[Opto]

A real hero, dontcha know.

 

[TheLaughingStock]

Pres. Obama clearly knew it wouldn't be long before Senator McCain returned to work.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I dont think well of what he is doing either, but fucking hell at some of the posts in this thread.

Oh well?

He's a piece of shit that deserves every single insult that gets thrown at him.

 

[BriGuy]

Cool. Use him as a prop to guilt the hold-outs into voting to strip millions of vulnerable Americans of their healthcare.

 

[The Chosen One]

Is this for the "Repeal-Only" vote?

It's hard to keep track these days.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I dont think well of what he is doing either, but fucking hell at some of the posts in this thread.

Nobody here has any power or ability to effect McCain's condition even slightly.

Save your virtue for those who deserve it.

Hasn't he been saying before he was diagnosed that they need to work with Dems on a healthcare? It is that typical McCain talk?

After the bill collapsed there was a wave of that sorta noise. I wouldn't read a single thing into it until the vote is done.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Well gotta fuck over the American people before he kicks the bucket. Gonna go out swinging.

He wants to take as many people as possible with him.

 

[AnotherNils]

Well lets see which way he votes.

It'd be crazy for him to travel all that way just to kill the bill in person.

 

[RDreamer]

I dont think well of what he is doing either, but fucking hell at some of the posts in this thread.

Oh no, people feel anger and malice at a guy literally crawling away from the world class healthcare he's been lucky enough to have access to in order to get to vote away even a resemblance of such a thing for literally millions of others in the country. So much for the tolerant left.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Is this for the "Repeal-Only" vote?

It's hard to keep track these days.

It's for the begin deliberations to vote for like 15 different bills vote.

 

[Ouroboros]

I think he will give a speech and vote no... He will have a revelation.

 

[Yazzees]

I dont think well of what he is doing either, but fucking hell at some of the posts in this thread.

Turns out some people are actually affected, possibly even medically or financially ruined by garbage policies that he keeps voting in favor of.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

No one knows, least of all the Senate.

 

[RPGCrazied]

We all know how the maverick will vote. Don't think he has voted a no on anything since Trump became President.

Its probably going to squeak by with Pence primed and ready to break a tie.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I'm gonna blow your mind:

Nobody knows

They are straight up not telling the Senators they're demanding vote for this what the thing they're voting for will actually lead to

 

[rjinaz]

Hasn't he been saying before he was diagnosed that they need to work with Dems on a healthcare? It is that typical McCain talk?

Eh yes and no. McCain says a lot of things. It's not an indicator of him wanting to vote no. It's more, he would like to work with them once this passes, and golly whiz he sure will be disappointed if they opt not to. In that same interview McCain said that Republicans were not involved with ObamaCare. His motives are clear.

 

[Strike]

From a war hero to that. It would be quite a sad way to go out.

 

[woolley]

did he even do anything heroic? or is getting captured heroic?

He could've gotten sent home but decided to stay with his men.

 

[The Kree]

This is stupid. They just cut your fucking skull open and you're seven thousand years old. Take a day.

 

[Gutek]

Pres. Obama clearly knew it wouldn't be long before Senator McCain returned to work.

Oh, sweet summer child. Going high will always bite you in the ass. Learn.

You are joking right?

LMAO
LMFAO
LOLOLOLOL

He is leaving his care for this?

 

[Captain Pants]

I like guys who didn't vote to fuck me over.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Jfc, man

 

[Hierophant]

Actually now that I think it, nothing is more patriotic to the GOP than fuckin over poor people so he'd be lauded for his yes vote from the ghoul publications

 

[minor effort]

Turns out some people are actually affected, possibly even medically or financially ruined by garbage policies that he keeps voting in favor of.

It’s almost as if politics is more than just team sports and actually has real-world, devistating impact. Hmm.

It’s not just the polite “we had our disagreements” sentiments like he’ll be eulogized by many in the political class. He’s actively making millions of peoples’ lives worse if he votes for this bill. If that’s not worthy of scorn I don’t know what is.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

did you know he was a veteran

What a warrior!

If I'm OJ Simpson's advisor right now I'm telling him to find some doctor who'll diagnose him with some sort of cancer.

Who cares about redemption through your actions. Cancer wipes out all sins.

 

[rjinaz]

Pres. Obama clearly knew it wouldn't be long before Senator McCain returned to work.

I mean he was president and still represents an entire party and millions even after office. He was never going to say what he is really thinking, the same way the Republicans in congress didn't call Obama a N***** publicly.

 

[Earthstrike]

Could you imagine if they don't have the votes, they tell McCain to vote against the bill, but pretend like it was a mistake because of the brain cancer. That was they can try to use public sympathy to dismiss criticism of the administration's failure to pass bills.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Well, let's see what happens.

 

[Box of Kittens]

How "brave" of McCain to risk his health to come deny health coverage to millions of Americans. Nobody say anything bad about him, it just wouldn't be polite.

 

[Apharmd]

Fuck McCain.

For real.
