Goddamnit, here goes $20 to the Arizona Democratic Party.

I need to stop watching the news or get a new job. The news keeps pissing me off and prompting me to donate.


A White House official mocked Sen. John McCain’s brain cancer diagnosis at an internal meeting on Thursday, a day after the Arizona Republican announced his opposition to President Trump’s nominee for CIA director, Gina Haspel.

Special assistant Kelly Sadler made the derisive comments during a closed-door White House meeting of about two-dozen communications staffers on Thursday morning.

“It doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway,” Sadler said, according to a source familiar with the remarks at the meeting.

The White House did not deny the account of Sadler’s remarks, which came amid a discussion of Haspel’s nomination and McCain’s opposition to it.

about comments so vile from wing nuts in regard to John McCain, it made me ill.

This was when the exerpt from his book was printed where he said he regretted choosing that Alaskan dipshit for his running mate. For some reason, Deplorables just worship that ninny and Comrade Bone Spurs and make horrid vile comments about a decorated war hero and POW. From their own party. I never agreed much with McCain's politics, but I absolutely respect his service to our country. Trump and his minions are disgraceful beyond words.
