John McCain, human being. Right place, right time.

After months of sick Tweets and 96 hours of the Mooch, the antidote:

John McCain cast a courageous vote as did his fellow GOP Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, and all Democratic members early this morning, against his party's last-ditch, cruel and most-manipulative bid for a heartless partisan 'win' at the expense of millions of Americans' medical care and peace of mind.

The Republican Party and their scheming, amoral Senate leader Mitch McConnell and the sociopath in the White House - - meaning Trump and not the disgusting carbon copy Scaramucci newly-inflicting the boss's signature thuggish obscenity on a slimed and traumatized populace at least since the Access Hollywood tape,  - - may yet cobble together a 'bill' they can slide over to the House where a willing Paul Ryan and the disrespectfully-named Freedom Caucus would make it the law of the land.

Let's hope not.

And without any qualifiers, let's thank Senator McCain and salute him as he battles against brain cancer and, as he did early this morning, against the political disease that is wearing down the country, and which nearly spread to another 15 million citizens and their families already hit hard by illness, infectious disease, birth defects, economic hardship or just plain bad luck a decent human being wouldn't wish on anyone, let alone make even worse.
