Also, if you want some hilarity - notice that her husband's (George T. Conway III) picture on Google is a court drawing, because the reality is far less flattering. He kind of looks like a slightly more well-kept version of the Mt. Gox guy.

This entire twitter thread is pretty pro-click. Apparently, a bunch of Trump supporters, and alt-right weirdos showed up to counter-protest a fake protest that a different alt-right group set up claiming antifa and BLM were going to try and remove the Sam Houston statute from a park in Houston.

People are kind of unfair to McCain. He's a lovely conservative, but short of unilaterally calling for Trump's removal, which he couldn't make happen yet if he wanted to, saying he's a worse leader than Obama is pretty big, even if it's self evidently true to non partisans.

He votes for conservative things because he's a lovely conservative, but if impeachment charges somehow made it to the Senate, and a strong case was made, I think McCain would vote for Trump's removal.

If Republicans are going to pursue an investigation of the Trump Justice Department, however reluctantly, Democrats need to be willing to make gestures of nonpartisanship. From what Comey said, Loretta Lynch actually was out of line, so it actually should be looked into. I don't think Mueller is suddenly going to decide it excuses anything and everything that Trump has done, so that's fine.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:

He knows his party's not there yet. If he shoots off now, it won't mean anything when the time comes to influence people. If Mueller comes back with something, that's when we need a McCain to stand up.

Even if it doesn't "matter," it's a big concession from someone who was a huge critic of Obama's leadership in the world. Twitter's broken everyone's brains into thinking if something isn't resolved in a 24 hour news cycle it's 100% pointless. Unfortunately it's also made that closer to being true.

Now look at how many of those votes actually mattered.

"This person crosses the line and votes with the other party often" is meaningless when it's not actually changing the outcome of anything. All it does it give them a false air of bipartisanship and potentially make their reelection campaigns easier (see also: mcmagic's favorite dem senator).

He's had one very bad public senior moment, but he still seems pretty with it most of the time. I don't think he's 100%, but leaping from one bad moment to imminent vegetable status is probably a bit much.

He obviously shouldn't be planning reelection, but I don't think it's crazy to assume he'll be around through the midterms at least.

if he ran again it would be in 2022 and he would be 85-86
