Title: John McCain is he alive or Dead?
Post by: 240B on June 17, 2018, 08:48:44 am
I do not mean to usurp here. It seems like a very simple question?
Is McCain alive or is dead? I'm just asking?

He's alive.; otherwise we would have heard of his passing. I predict when he passes it will be announced on all the major networks and his funeral and life story will be televised for days.  It will be a big "to do" ... IMHO he's been planning his grand and glorious departure for months.

The latest story indicates that he and the GOP(e) are hoping he holds onto his seat until 2022 (good grief) ....

Arizona Republicans brush off talk about McCain Senate seat


Sen. John McCain's legacy was thrust into focus nearly one year ago when he announced his brain cancer diagnosis. The six-term Senator and decorated Vietnam War veteran is now fighting the illness from his beloved Arizona, and filling the role of one of the few Congressional Republican voices to publicly rebuke Trump administration decisions.

Yet the question of what happens if McCain steps down from office before 2022 is a lingering one, casting an uncomfortable haze around the future of a seat that can't quite ever be filled....

I guess that if he can be a collaborator with the enemy as a POW and a war  hero at the same time,he can also be alive and dead at the same time.

He might.  Mrs. Liberty has a Nephew who had Glioblastoma, and he beat it (through the VA no less!).  We really thought he was a goner, but he's back to teaching riflery in the Marines at Quantico.  He was literally the "tip of the spear" in Iraq.  She also has a Niece with Stage 4 cancer, and she beat that into remission too.  Granted, they're both decades younger, with no previous cancers.

McStain has the best medical care a US Senator can buy.

Certainly better than what he cast the deciding vote for.

Yup.  But that's for us rubes.  He and his filthy rich Beer Baroness, drug-addled wife are nothing if not elitists.

McCain's been dead inside for a long long time, the rest of him is just finally catching up.

Well ... there is a new drug to treat the most aggressive form of brain cancer that there is; glioblastoma which is what McCain has.  Who knows.  I think it's a wonderful thing that there is a clinical trial that has proven to work.  Certainly I would think that McCain would have the clout and the money for this drug.

Money? Since when has ANY medical treatment cost a US Senator even a single dime?

Some pigs are more equal than other pigs,and some pigs have no equals. McLunatic is in the last category.

McCain is definitely not my favorite person.  I though am excited that there is a drug out there that has helped someone with this most aggressive of all cancers.  Perhaps it may not help McCain because of his age and the rapid progression that he has experienced.  Perhaps it will extend his life.  Perhaps this drug will open the door and can treat other forms of cancer.

AWESOME!

Edit:  Of course, I mean beating the cancers.
