Leferd Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Checking social media and random internet forums has re-affirmed my belief that there are bad hombres on both sides. On both sides.

Volourn Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Didn't always agree with him and his history is suspect because of FAKE NEWS but still RIP. That said, funny how Dems are sucking his peepee when they were LITERALLY calling him a Nazi before. L0L DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

smjjames Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) The governor appoints his replacement who will serve until the special election in 2020, if they win that, they'll serve the rest of McCain's term to 2022. Gov. Ducey has said that he isn't announcing the replacement until after the funeral and burial on Sept. 2nd.

Gromnir Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Wow that was fast! "Im discontinuing treatments"...~24H later..."dies". Who takes over his seat? linda mccartney went horseback riding with her family and then died of complications due to cancer the same eve. it happens. when it doesn't happen, we hardly begrudge an individual and their family from choosing human intervention to alleviate the pain and indignity which so often accompanies deaths caused by cancer. most o' us recognize how agonizing such final choices must be and choose not to call attention to any peculiarities of timing or circumstance. john McCain wanted this statement read after his death perhaps more significant as a kinda final message is one of senator mccain's final speeches from the senate floor am saddened so many o' mccain's signature legislative efforts have been undone by subsequent legislative, executive and judicial actions. however, while it rare receives more than cursory recognition, mccain's efforts to normalize relations with vietnam may be the most enduring and meaningful aspect o' his legacy. mccain's ability to put aside differences and work on behalf o' the US and vietnam to the benefit o' both nations says a great deal 'bout the character o' mccain. he will be missed. he should be missed. 3 "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v.

Hurlshort Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Trump rejected plans for a White House statement on McCain in favour of a short tweet with no praise Trump, keeping it classy.

Chilloutman Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 well, problem is that you can't choose because Google is deciding for you what you want to see. If you got option to check if you want biased results based on your previous searches it would be fine, but noone is asking you what will be displayed. Even if you read only title you will have at least some 'opposite' information I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

smjjames Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Fox news? Pfft, I wouldn't trust a test that they did unless it was doubly verified by other sources.
