Agreed. The insincere tributes pouring in will be nauseating for the next few days. In a more just society, the Keating Five scandal would have torpedoed his career 30 years ago and cut his incessant warmongering short. Heck, without nepotism he wouldn't have had a career to begin with.

Caitlin Johnstone was right!

YES! He was mentally unbalanced and promoted war in everything he did. We sure don't need to name anything after him.

The tradition is not to speak ill of the dead -- but McCain was not a traditionalist. I would have had more respect for his supposed "public service" if he had done the right thing and resigned from the Senate when he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and could no longer do the job for which his constituents were paying him.

History will not be kind to McCain -- for many reasons.

His vote against repealing Obamacare represented nothing more than a personal attack on Trump and showed a blatant disregard for his constituents...He was also alleged to have been part of the entire "dossier" and his relationship with Hillary also showed a different side of the man who really had no party.

Thank you. I didn't have the courage to say it. The narratives that our society supports are really stunning. And amoral.

I agree...I hated the treasonous S.O.B. I was sooooo Happy to hear of his death...G. Soros Next! Too bad the Vietnamese didn't torch him more...and killed him. It' would have been better than his BS!

Hi Mish. This is my first login and post ... I appreciate your work and have been following and learning from your blog for a while. Your work usually seems to be level-headed, objective, and subjective when there is a need. oh, and i like your photography.

Looks like you feel strongly about McCain , and spent a lot of your post presenting the hypocrites as much as your disdain for McCain. Pardon my naivete, but can you spend a little more time or refer me to a link explaining the wrongs McCain has done ? Cheers !

All those slagging him now thought he was the messiah when he was running with Palin. Talk about hypocrisy....

And is seems like just yesterday that he was globetrotting to recruit and fund various shinhead nazi groups or fundamentalist Sunni murderers to overthrow this of that sovereign government.

Mish can I help you! He even was a ahole and used his sickness as a crutch to hurt Trump which also hurt the American people. He was a military brat.

General Westmorland was following the democratically civilian leadership of President Johnson (D) per the US Constitution. He had no power to authorize troop increases, attack foreign nations or draft 19 year olds. All that power resides with the President and Congress.

Mish, please remind us of your record of military service or any service to the USA.

Why?

If we were a pacifist country then the world would surely be a worse place. We would be ruled by the Japanese or Nazi Germany. Being anti-war is ok but at what cost ?

Mish why are u trying to take me off the main road and put my remarks on the access road which is Mish talk? Is it because u know I was in the Marines in 1968 when John McCain was an American POW at the time? I agree he hurt the country just to spite Trump on his Obamacare vote, but to the “Piss on his grave” remark is unbelievably inappropriate imo!

Where can I send my urine?

He did, as we say, 'dine out' rather too much on abject failure.

I picture the little girl running & screaming with her clothes burned off. Multiply that by how much to get a measure of McCain? I'm only sorry he didn't hang on & suffer longer. He has a special place in hell. War pimp.

How can you tell if someone voted against McCain/Palin? A: Because they just posted a majestic tribute to the man on facebook. My head is currently spinning at the concept.

Tengen, thanks for pointing out the Keating Five, surprised Mish missed that.

McCaine helped murder hundreds of thousands in the Middle East. He should have been drawn and quartered while alive.

Is there a urinal placed above this traitor's grave with the piping running directly into his mouth? Or it's just a piss-free-for-all?
