they've been so busy obfuscating for so long, they've totally lost the script. USA USA

that SOMETHING is actually truthfully wrong with John McCain.

He is SERIOUSLY in a mental fog and doesn't even comprehend the words coming out of his own mouth.

He refers to "President Comey" at least twice.

He stammers and fumfers and taps his pen into his own microphone repeatedly.

Then this sentence, unfiltered, came out of his mouth: "Are you aware, anything, that would believe you... to believe... that the... President, or the members of the administration, or members of the campaign, could potentially be used to coerce or blackmail the administration?"

Read that again.

It literally makes no sense and means nothing.

And then he followed up with:

"Are you aware of anything, that would lead you to believe, that information exists, that could... uh... (taps pen against microphone twice)... coerce members of the administration or blackmail members of the administration?"

I honestly think we (meaning us in Arizona) elected a Senator with full blown dementia.

It kind of came across as the standard Republican bullshit equating Hillary to Trump, but in a full blown Alzheimer's fog. It made me quite sad, actually. And TERRIFIED to think that he's one of a body of only 100 in this country making decisions for us.

Fuck me.

What is really, really sad is that this man with sings of "full blown dementia" would still make a better POTUS than trump.

Reassuring allies & acting like a shadow foreign sec of state. https://www.washingtonpost.com

I heard the questioning, it seemed so unfocused & meandering.

He's not a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. And yes, his questioning was bizarre, to put it kindly.

I watched that clip, it wasn't even word salad, it was like he took some bad medication or something

It appears he has just gotten too old to function in his duties as a senator

"Sen. John McCain on Wednesday expressed dismay that the director of national intelligence refused to speak publicly about an explosive Washington Post report that President Donald Trump urged him to interfere with the FBI's investigation of Russia.

McCain, R-Ariz., said Dan Coats' refusal to discuss the story despite it being splashed across the Post's front page "shows what kind of an Orwellian existence" lawmakers deal with in Washington, D.C.

"It’s more than disturbing, obviously, if it’s true that the president of the United States tried to get the director of national intelligence and others to abandon an investigation into Russian involvement," McCain said during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. "It’s pretty serious. I always understand the position that you’re in, because it is classified information. Yet, here it is in this morning’s Washington Post in some detail.”

Coats, who was a senator from Indiana before becoming director of national intelligence this year, signaled he would be willing to discuss the matter in a closed session. McCain said he hoped the Senate Intelligence Committee would accommodate him, but voiced regret that Coats was unable to do so publicly “before the American people.”
