Republican Senator McCain to discontinue medical treatment: family

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Senator John McCain has chosen to discontinue medical treatment for an aggressive form of brain cancer, his family said in a statement on Friday, a year after the Vietnam War hero announced his prognosis.

“John has surpassed expectations for his survival,” the family said, adding that the disease’s progression and McCain’s age, 81, had led him to stop treatment for the “aggressive glioblastoma.”

“With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment,” the family said.




RIP

How do you feel about the President that you staunchly defend on a daily basis attacking this man's honor and strength and leadership and sacrifice during his service including his torture for years?

How do you feel about the President that you staunchly defend on a daily basis attacking McCain while he was battling brain cancer?

Lots of political differences with him but he is a helluva man that lived quite an incredible life and will rest with honor and dignity when he passes

How do you feel about the behavior of your hero towards an actual hero over the last few years?

pointing out your hypocrisy isn't really a political viewpoint, its just forum banter in a political forum. a fine but important distinction that you'll deny or ignore like you did Trump's disrespect of McCain. at least plasmasnake has the nuts to call mccain a loser for getting captured like your hero did.




How do you folks feel about using news of Senator McCain's coming death, as a vehicle for your political viewpoints?

My posts have stood with McCain since Trump first attacked his heroic service and sacrifice for the country you clowns pretend to stand for

Nothing to do with party to me it's about the gross disrespect to service and sacrifice by a man of honor and within that a gross disrespect to people like him that put others above themselves within and outside of the military

but tell me about how them dirty "kneelers" disrespect this country while the true lack of patriotism came from the cowards condoning and excusing the behavior of the ultimate anti-patriot and coward Trump

Ok last time I'm gonna explain something with crayons.

No, I don't like what Trump said about McCain's Viet Nam service. I'm a vet for god's sake. Did I like McCain as a Senator, no.

As for "them dirty kneelers" to quote YOU. Thx to Endless we have a picture even you could understand...








Now if it's OK with you, YOU REALLY NEED TO STOP using news of Senator McCain's coming death, as a vehicle for your political viewpoints?

says the guy who just used it as a vehicle for his viewpoint.

the NFL fines the people for uniform violations, its no censorship against any cause. Reggie Bush got bigger fines for wearing adidas shoes for a whole season.

you should really read into the issues instead of swallowing them without even a tip.

What policy have I been pushing since I first stood with McCain when your favorite candidate decided to run his mouth and mock his capture, service, and sacrifice?

I'm not pushing policy or the Democrats with this nor have I since the beginning

Personal opinion not political belief

Trump (a man without honor or integrity) is a disgusting hypocritical coward with his behavior towards McCain and shame on all of us for just letting it diluted by all of Trump's other bullshit.

Endless was trying to learn nuance to make what he said understandable. But when it conflicted a bit too much with his meme type of posting, it was rejected as not being useful.
The same goes for memes, life is not as black and white as they portray life to be, there is nuance in between the extremes visualized, and they are meant to trigger emotions and enforces connections ppl have already made in the past.
You can't explain something with it, other than expressing the emotion you already have. and in this case have already expressed, without rationalizing it.
