Why do we continue to tribute these crusty, soul-less husks?

[simplex-jcity]

Now he will answer to the creator for his did to humanity

[feelsgoodman]

He will be forgotten in a few weeks and should be because he did nothing to help improve peoples lives.

I'm remembering John McCain I remember how he gave a thumbs down voting no at the repeal of Obamacare, when he campaigned and signed a pack with the GOP that he would vote along party lines to repeal the disastrous Obamacare that plagued the American people. I remember McCain as the RINO that he was. I remember what a deep state crooked senator he was. I remember so much. Today I'm remembering Mollie Tibbitts for the young beautiful innocent young lady who's life was cut short by an illegal immigrant she didn't get to live to the full ripe age of 81 like McCain. why is she lost in the McCain noise is her life worth less? because she was not a member of the good o'l boys club.

War criminal. Thousands of American troops needlessly dead because of how hard he (and Cheney, to be fair) and roughy a million Iraqis. Oh, and a destabilized Middle East. I'm glad he didn't suffer long, but only because he was a fellow human. Wish he thought the same about brown people in other countries, and our troops -- especially because of his heroism while in the military. And when the next recession/depression happens due to this bubble, those *massive* tax cuts to the uber wealthy will also be his legacy. But CBS will tell you he was some honorable, non-courrupt typical right wing politician. Remembering John McCain, two words: *Sarah Palin*

Mc Cain was a selfish, self-serving fortunate son of a Navy admiral.

Sadly, people will not remember the prisoner of war John McCain. They will remember Senator John McCain, whose most enduring legacy will be Iraq, Libya and Syria. And other never ending wars round the globe.

He was an incredible and honorable man. He spent his life defending this country. May he rest in peace.

*What father could want anything more, what husband could want anything more, what dedicated servant to our nation could want anything more, and what exemplary country-loving American could want anything more... A fulfilled life truly deservedly lived.... RIP EMPOWERMENTalist John McCain.*

If a person is rotten to the core, does that mean when they die they was never rotten.

[kewalos]

Why remember, kind of like stepping in dog poop, just clean off the shoe and for the passed.
