The FB profile of "Tiffany Nicole" is either blocked to almost all viewing or has been almost completely scrubbed. There is a comment by her on the Jones photo, which shows him apparently toking something. She writes, "Well that explains a lot", which suggests to me that she is not necessarily a fan. That is all.

presumably comes from Cindy McCain's account. And by presumably I mean certainly.


So in order to come across Cindy McCain's tweet one would have to either..

-- visit Cindy McCain's page

-- be following Cindy McCain

-- or follow pages that retweet Cindy McCain


Which do you do?

I get many retweets from people whom I would normally follow all the time. Primarily bc of shocking behavior like this. The McCain's get a lot of Trump vitriol, so it's not surprising that Meagan or her mom are retweeted by political pundits or journalists that I may follow.

False Dilemma
When only two choices are presented yet more exist, or a spectrum of possible choices exists between two extremes. False dilemmas are usually characterized by “either this or that” language, but can also be characterized by omissions of choices. Another variety is the false trilemma, which is when three choices are presented when more exist.

As it used to be worded during the 2008 Presidential campaign, I have "fundamental disagreements" with most of John McCain's policies and positions, but.........

We do NOT need to go full trump on people we don't agree with.

And for as long as I live, I will relish in John McCain's "thumbs down" on watering down the ACA (I stayed up all night to see it), that alone made him an American hero in my eyes.
