It can get a lot worse than McCain

This keeps being said, but when did McCain ever stand up to the GOP when it would have made a difference? Is generic slimeball teaparty guy #6 going to deviate off his voting record?

Its a glioblastoma. Same tumor Kennedy died of. McCain's got about two years tops.

Friend had the same, docs claimed they got it all as it was encased in a cyst. Radiation fsced her memory up and gave her micro seizures. She was declared cancer free but was dead two years later just before she turned 30.
This poo poo is insidious.

He shouldn't be back at work if he has radiation. He won't be 100% mentally (like the Rs care about sanity lol)

Maybe the tumour explains McCain's really wierd questions at the hearing...

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders, can polonium poisoning cause a brain tumor like we see?

Radiation carcinogenesis tends to take on the order of decades. It also doesn't go to the brain, as per this paper I found that investigates how it works when ingested: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20160613094543/https://www.litvinenkoinquiry.org/files/2015/04/INQ017269wb.pdf

I think it had to have played a role. He's not always agreeable, and not always coherent, but he was indistinguishable from a street preacher during that hearing. I was kind of questioning his health at the time, so this isn't super surprising.

Everything Trump does because he's told it'll get him attention, Palin would do everything enthusiastically and gleefully, knowing full well the misery it would cause and reveling in it because it helps the Party. The biggest thing they have in common is that they'll do anything, both positive or negative, to raise their stars higher (or lower), so long as it's earning them eyeballs.

Eric probably has a copy for his own "archival" use.
Barron is only in the same room as his Dad when it's a photo-op, so when would he even ask?

It's absolutely physical because people's bodies, what they can and cannot do with them, is on the line with politics. I'm not going to lament the tragedy of "losing my humanity" by withholding my sympathies from those who want to imprison the non-violent and bankrupt the sick. This poo poo isn't a game, it isn't a friendly debate, it is life and death for a lot of people and it takes a ton or privilege to believe that we need to "comport ourselves civilly" when looking at the way we treat the marginalized in this country.

And, even more literally, it's physical because we have a sitting Congressman who punched a journalist for asking questions he didn't like. And his party sits by and seats him without even pretending to think maybe they shouldn't have people who assault others running the country. But, dear oh dear that some people don't give a gently caress that McCain is going to die of cancer. What monsters!

McCain could redeem himself by spending the time he has left speaking out on the importance of universal healthcare, his eyes opened by his recent experience.

Imagine the rhetorical power of seeing an enfeebled McCain fighting not to lose his train of thought as he addresses a crowd urging them to adopt or champion single-payer. He'd be like a dignified opposite of Trump, fighting to retain dignity as his mind melts to jelly.
