John McCain shows gratitude for US military on Independence Day
KTAR NEWS ^ | JULY 4, 2018 AT 8:52 AM | BY KTAR.COM

McCain is celebrating at his home in Arizona while he continues physical therapy to combat a deadly form of brain cancer.

“One of the greatest privileges of my life has been marking Independence Day with America’s service members and diplomats selflessly serving overseas,” McCain said. “As I spend this Fourth of July at home in Arizona, my thoughts are with these courageous men and women fighting terrorism and tyranny around the world.”

The 81-year-old was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, in July 2017.

Following his diagnosis, McCain left Washington and returned to his home in Arizona, where he has remained as he seeks treatment.

McCain underwent surgery in April at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix to treat an intestinal infection related to diverticulitis.

Diverticula are small, bulging pouches that can form in the lining of a digestive system, according to Mayo Clinic. They are common after the age of 40 and rarely cause problems.

However, they can become inflamed or infected and cause colon pain, fever and nausea.

There have been no official updates on McCain’s health from his office since the surgery, but his daughter, Meghan McCain, told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Mac and Gaydos last month that her father is doing well.

No, mam. No, man. No, man. John McCain is not resigning today. I still have to vote on Trump's Supreme Court pick. I haven't decided which way I am voting yet.

I thought I read on FR that he planned to resign today.

*************

LOL..... Take what you read with a grain of salt especially if it
involves the actions of someone else. He still has 7 hrs 45 minutes.

If he is that cogent he needs to get his lazy, faking butt to Washington. I’m beginning to think this whole thing is fake

I do not agree.

4th of July is not a celebration of or honoring of the military.

Armed forces Day, Memorial Day and Veterans Day is for that.

“....Do people age 81 last this long and well with glioblastoma?...”

Those amongst the “unwashed masses” (that’d be us) most likely don’t, but this traitorous POS is getting the very best medical care in the entire world...the best our money can buy. While he voted to foist odongoCare on everyone else...he’s a useless POS that can’t die soon enough.
They may give this sorry azz a full military burial...even in Arlington, but we know, and God knows, what this POS really is.

With a two vote majority how can this clown not put the country in front of his own ego?

Since he’s holding his senate seat hostage, can’t we demand some public form of ‘proof of life’ before we believe media reports about him?
