Watching that bastard's ear-to-ear smile fade away is the most satisfying thing on earth.

Dude had been locked up and tortured for years, served his country as soldier and senator, went through two bruising presidential elections, got dragged by his own party due to his refusal to genuflect to Trump, and was actively dying of brain cancer by this point. He still mustered the strength to get up there and make the most consequential vote of his life. This was his legacy as a maverick distilled into a single unforgettable moment. He might've been giving the thumbs-down, but he was also giving a giant middle finger up at Trump. Absolute chad.

Senator McCain. Not just saved lives as a soldier, but saved lives as a law maker. He truly committed his life to public service and served the people well. Rest well Senator. Thank you for your service.

Healthcare is exercise, diet, positivity, critical thinking skills, nutrition, etc. What you all are referring to as “healthcare” was corporate oligarch’s takeover of the America medical system. It was nothing more than a wealth transfer from America taxpayers to insurance companies and medical suppliers. All at the expense of higher prices, lesser “healthcare”, and sicker people. Barrack Obama and John McCain were the corporate oligarch’s bought and paid for politicians and you guys simply can not comprehend what’s obviously directly in front of your nose. End of the day you have no one other than yourself to blame for the problems in this society and your eagerness to be manipulated by corporate media propaganda and corrupt politicians.

It's hard to believe but this was probably the best political moment from the entire Trump presidency.

This was so epic. I always love to rewatch

He had been pretty clear about why he voted no. He didn’t like the skinny repeal, offering no alternative to Obamacare; and he didn’t like jamming a bill with only GOP votes, without trying to work out compromise with Democrats

I love their faces before and after he walks in. McConnell and the rest are all smiles and then McCain walks in, and they're stone faced, and literally don't move a muscle after he votes no.
