We should be grateful we have at least 3 American senators on the other side...

Sure I remember the quotes about Collins always being there when she's not needed.

And McCain's duplcity...

but Lisa Murk stepped up

As did Collins and McCain.

And to my mind they are AMERICANS.

The others - not so much.

Sell-outs to Koch and the rest.

But we still have a democracy. For how long, no one knows. Trump is a despot and is amassing a dictorship. But there still remains a core of Americans. For that we should be thankfull.

We live to fight another day in this battle...

It doesn't change my opinion of McCain one bit....I believe that he has been drawn to the dark side for a very long time, but that yesterday the force of good managed to pull him back for another day.
