Is this NEWS or Fake News Guess it's FAKE NEWS (previously reported FR 1 July)
John McCain To Resign Senate Seat on the 4th of July, Says Aide. Cindy McCain Offered his Seat
Former Republican Nominee for President wants to avoid a defeat for Trump’s SCOTUS nominee
Cindy McCain has been offered her husband’s Senate seat
Fake news
It will be a shame to see a perfectly good and noble tumor die with McCain.
He still has two hours according to Arizona time. Personally, I was hoping he’d be assuming room temperature by now.
Oh well...
How about a vote for his seat?
Offered.
Don’t remember anything about government positions being handed down to heirs upon death in the Constitution.
Isn’t that kinda why the Constitution happened? Kings and Royalty and somesuch. I forget exactly.
McCain will have officially given up his office when they shut the lid on his coffin.
I was holding back a big ole M80 til the stroke of midnight to celebrate the passing of McTurd but he’s only got another couple of hours, AZ time.
One would think, Mitch the Senate, would at least require a welfare check on somebody collecting a paycheck. Lord McCain is the ultimate welfare case.
Disappointed but not surprised. Maybe the lie was floated just to see how certain parties would react to that prospect.
That’s a major reason we’re celebrating our Independence today!
Maybe he wants to lose the Presidency again?
I think there ought to be some rule set up (probably has to be written into the Constitution), that if you don’t show up for an assembly of Congress/Senate for 90 days, then the governor can appoint a temp to represent the state until your health or affairs improve. It’s quiet possible that McCain may still be a Senator on December 31st of this year, and never shown up in DC a single time.
There’s still 2 hours and 4 minutes left in July 4th here in AZ where McLame is.
He could at least show his face, as he is famous for showing up on the Sunday morning media mass shows... IF he has what he claimed, I cannot believe he can actually speak.
I was all set to use this date as a confirmation on whether McCain is still alive or not. I thought, if John McCain declares his retirement by way of someone reading a prepared statement, then THAT “would prove” McCain was already deceased.
For the John McCain I know, there is no way in the world he would miss acting out that Final Scene in his role as Senator. He would milk this moment for all he could, even if he had to speak from an electronic voice box from a hospital bed. The way Stephen Hawking used to do.
The source for this is the Santa Monica Observer, whose owner has some "minor issues".
You gotta be careful, he may still be voting Democrat for years to come.
I would suspect that he’s down in the 120 pound range and not able to maneuver well. Zero chance he’ll ever do another Sunday talk show.
Man knows not his time
