Sunday, January 22, 2017 09:58 AM

 

Sen. John McCain on Sunday praised President Donald Trump's national security selections, declaring "I couldn't have picked a better team."

In an interview with ABC News' "This Week," the Arizona Republican also said he intended to vote to confirm Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

"I have the utmost confidence in General [James] Mattis, General [Michael] Flynn, General [John] Kelly, Dan Coates," McCain said of Trump's Defense Secretary, national security adviser, Homeland Security Secretary and director of national intelligence, respectively.

"I couldn't have picked a better team. So I'm confident that he'll listen to them and be guided by them."

(Sigh)  Okay, John.  What do you want?  What payoff are you demanding today?

McCain will vote for Tillerson

 By Mallory Shelbourne - 01/22/17 10:38 AM EST   57comments

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) will vote in favor of Rex Tillerson, President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the State Department.

McCain told ABC’s “This Week” in an interview that aired Sunday that he would support Tillerson’s nomination.

“I will be voting in favor of his nomination. I have had numerous conversations with him. And, again, my concerns have been about our relations with Russia,” McCain said in the interview.

McCain added that his decision to vote for Tillerson “was not an easy call."

“But I also believe that, when there's doubt, the president, the incoming president, gets the benefit of the doubt,” McCain said.
“And that's the way I have treated every president that I have had the obligation to vote for or against as a member of the United States Senate.”

That probably means that Ms. Graham will vote for Tillerson, also.

Well, for once I agree with him. He couldn't. Of course, that isn't saying much...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

With McCain, if you're given a nice thick steak you'd better be looking for the hook before you bite down.

The picture is a shoop.  Everybody knows there is no grass on the Mall.  That's gotta be a bunch of Irish midgets wearing green bowler hats on St. Paddy's day.
