McCain was a rare breed of GOP politician that I doubt even exists anymore

It was pretty admirable how he voted no because he realized there was no good plan to replace it. 8 years later and there still isn’t.

I like Thomas Massie tbh, def do not agree with him on many things. But he’s not an idiot and has principles he actually sticks by, I respect that and recognize him acting honestly in good faith for what he believes to be best for the country

He was dying both literally and figuratively. Last of a type of Republican for sure

He had some dignity, strange thing to say about a psychopathic neocon that wanted to bomb brown kids and have us fight Israel’s wars, but true enough in comparison to the foolery we see today

If the Republican Party was a McCain party instead of a Trump party the world would be a better place.

Politics would still be boring if that were the case. We really didn’t know how good we had it until it was already gone

Y’know if Trump were actually anti war like he pretends to be I’d actually disagree, but since he’s not I can’t help but agree. Trump destabilizes everything. Interestingly, some Chinese Christians celebrated Trump winning bc they viewed it as a curse from God upon us for our evil actions and a reflection of the ugliest parts of our society to look upon without the usual prettier mask

I don’t know anything about him other than him supporting releasing the Epstein files but that bare minimum is enough for me at this point

In fact my premiums are going up because they’re cutting subsidies. Obamacare is literally so important until we get something better in place
