What happened to the Republican Party?

@hippyjoe1955

Barbara Boxer was stock broker before she ran for Congress. She and her husband sold a few houses over time. In California, do that a few times, along with earning high salaries and it's not that difficult to build $6 million in wealth over a lifetime.

Maybe not in Churchill.

But in California? Yes.

@NoFuxGiven She is a one-note troll.

@NoFuxGiven truth bothering you Libtard?

@nedkelly And you base that on? Oh yeah. Bullsh*t.

@Graylight If it was on bullshit you would have a master degree and denial

@nedkelly Hee-larious. I provide sources and citations. I've seen your posts. You provide the judgmental opinion of a non-US citizen who cannot possible know the intricacies of our political system.

@woolenmittens 👏👏

@bijouxbroussard i love what you said

@bonviveur Thank you, friend.

@GeistInTheMachine I get that. A helpful hint: stay away from the Politics section. 😉

Excellent analysis! @NoFuxGiven

@room101 They've already made it clear he's not welcome.

@LegendofPeza Good for them 👏👏👏

@LegendofPeza You choose to turn a blind eye to the corruption in high places. I don't. That is not a conspiracy at all. Those are simple facts. The number of elected officials that become very rich from being elected indicates that there is massive corruption taking place.

@hippyjoe1955 Senator John McCain published SEVEN books and numerous articles. Of course, in your deluded little world, the revenues he received from his publications were all bribes.

@hippyjoe1955 No one pretends McCain was above rebuke. Not even McCain himself. And no, Dems often disagreed with him. But he had what many others lacked, and that was a vision for the greater good regardless of party.

As for becoming rich by being a politician, look no further than the WH. Or can you see the far from under your rock?

@nedkelly

Senator John McCain will lie in state at the Arizona Capitol. He will also lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda and receive a full dress funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral before his burial in Annapolis, Md.

Why in the world would you think he would have a private funeral.

@woolenmittens Any person can have a private funeral, they can have a memorial service later

@woolenmittens He thinks that it would be a private funeral because he knows that his orange overlord will not be welcome.

Trumpsters Love a Loser (Like attracts Like)

@woolenmittens broke under interrogation, betrayed his country

@CountScrofula Many of us are comparing him to the hardliners who seem to make up the majority of the GOP nowadays. I always give the disclaimer that I didn’t agree with him politically. There really was a time when one could disagree and still respect the person.

@bijouxbroussard You hit the nail on the head. I never liked his politics, but I never believed for a minute that he wasn't an honorable man. Look at how be answered the woman in the 2008 debates who called Obama an Arab. He called her out on it. Now consider how the same question would be answered by the current president. Enough said.

@windinhishair @bijouxbroussard Sure but showing basic human civility sometimes is a low bar.

I'm happy that people are trying hard to show civility and decency with his death because we shouldn't cheerlead the deaths of political opponents (like a lot of the Trump supporters are doing with him). But I'm cautious about him being lionized. A close look at his behaviour - both personal and political - reveals someone I'm not too enamored with.

@OldHippie Just as the Russians have been planning for decades.

@Odette amazing how the libs are rallying around McCain ... they wouldn’t spit any other republican... and never said a word when a psycho nut job Libtard shot up republicans at a baseball practice. But McCain ... ? Fawning all over him , and not once was his war record (aiding the enemy) ever brought up when he ran for President. That was very telling .

@TexChik Hey, quick question. What the fuck?

I've heard thinking hurts the brain,TexChik.
Good news --- YOU'RE SAFE!!!!!!! 😂

@NoFuxGiven

@hippyjoe1955 So because he didn't want a corrupt, coward (your orange moron avoided the draft FIVE times) representing his party, that makes him small and petty?

What a twat!

@hippyjoe1955 anDZ heZ wasnTs a war HerOz. hiPpIeZJue Is nexT for dePtz Of PropogAnDaz

@hippyjoe1955 Delusion about who?

The wealthy owners of the press get egg all over their face and spend 2 years fantasizing about a Russian infiltration is fantasy?

Hillary loses, even with top officials covering up her felonies and she gripes endlessly how she didn't get a fair shake from the press like the way Obama was raised to godlike status is a fantasy?

Those spoiled cunning little thieves we call senators all pissed off because Trump didn't put time in as a Senator is fantasy?

Every last one of them, including that AG giving his speech fucks around paying off blackmailers trying to kill their career, influence elections if they won't pay, and the press and the courts claim that the victims lawyer, in this case, a presidents lawyer, was influencing and the blackmailer was the victim.

No shit? How about that?

@SW-User I that "I know, pick me" or "Heil Hitler, Hail Trump?"

@eli1601 Sorta trite. Slightly salty. Yet succinctly distinguished with brevity.

Although I'd grant five stars to this vintage a few with inoperative or poorly working brains might still not realize how terribly Barry messed up global peace in favor of the Wall Street hawks.

Good point though. Lol
