Or Mitt Romney.

Extremely rich folks safely condemning somebody is not grounds for respect or credit. Especially when they're responsible for enabling and legislating some of the most oppressive and ghoulish policies.

I just want a normal conversation where someone's not developing Stockholm syndrome in real-time before my eyes.

    I already had a stroke going through this when McCain died, not looking forward to relitigating it

      I got my dad big mad a few years ago when I said I was glad McCain was dead. My brother suggested I should've said I wished I was in the AA gun that shot down his plane, and never have I wanted a time machine more.

    Sure your dad butchered a million plus Iraqi's for oil, but you called Trump a big ol' poo poo head so you're good in my book!

      Not only that, you called him that at a point where he outlasted his usefulness. So brave.

        I'm so sick and tired of hearing THE DISCOURSE around her. People are fucking dying in the streets, Israel is about to commit another genocide on Palestine. Who. Fucking. Cares.

          This. Oh my god. Yes, you watch CNN. I hadn't noticed. The big news story my dad brings up at the dinner table and it's this political theater bullshit.

            CNN has to be running with this so they can dip on reporting on Gaza I'd imagine. I actually got so mad at CNN and my mom for watching that I told her to put on fox news instead lol.

              Shit is fucked too. CNN is like that hole in the pipeline to leftism for older libs. Just regurgitating West Wing stories and promising everything else is too complicated to talk about.

                CNN is just blue MAGA culture war shit that fox news does. Like /r/worldnews is for red maga and /r/politics is for blue maga, different flavors of the culture war, no real path forward to actual politics and journalism.

      So bad. It's never good to watch monsters eat one of their own.

    Spend years and years pushing racist, warmongering xenophobia and then get blacklisted by your own party for not being racist, warmongering and xenophobic enough? (or rather, not being open enough about it)

    Yeah, really crying over this one. I'm definitely not laughing my ass off.

    the GOP is mimicking the trajectory of JP very closely right now, that's about as much as I need to know
