RIP Senator John McCain
He went through a hell most if us can't imagine, having been tortured for
years, having more bones broken than you and I can probably count. He
could've cut a deal for an earlier release because of his Admiral father
but he didn't. When he met President Richard Nixon, he was still
hobbling on crutches but he met his Commander in Chief on his own two
feet because that's what patriotic soldiers and good Americans do when
they meet the president. McCain was so brutalized at the Hanoi Hilton that, to the end of his days, he couldn't lift his arms above his shoulders.
At the same time John McCain was being starved and getting bones broken
and recuperating from a botched operation, Donald Trump was at the real
Hiltons boffing women left and right then decades later had the nerve
to say it was own "personal Vietnam." He also said John McCain wasn't a
hero because he liked "guys who weren't captured" (like his father at a
1927 KKK rally.)
Fittingly, he's been barred from McCain's funeral but Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama will speak at it. Bush and Obama may speak but McCain really got the last word.

I never quite understood his voting record, but he does represent a very different time in America and most especially, in government. It's a sad say, and his family must have gone through so much over this past year.
Ya think those bone spurs didn't hurt?
