McCain says he plans to fight Trump over lifting the Russian sanctions.

I, obviously, don't know if he means this, or if it's just for show, but it will help get the media's attention either way.

1. He will fight him on torture too

I like the rightwing eating itself

[Freethinker65]

2. Until me and Lindsey cave as usual

[herding cats]

6. Even if they do cave, which I expect they will.

It gives the media a better platform to explore why lifting the Russian sanctions is a terrible idea and why would Trump be considering do such in the first place?

[SHRED]

3. Right after he votes to confirm Tillerson

LOL for anyone believing this fool.

4. John plans to do it, but he hasn't decided to do it, because he needs more airtime

8. More airtime on this topic is all we can hope for, really.

If Trump wants to life them, they will be lifted. The best we can hope for is that the media will sink its teeth into why they're being lifted.

[dalton99a]

11. That is true.

[gratuitous]

5. Well! You can take that to the bank

Sen. McWalnuts will bravely and pusillanimously make contrarian sounds and snorts before rolling over supinely and present his pink belly to President Trump.

Which is to say that I'll believe McCain's Tweet when I see it.

[Thrill]

7. All talk. When the rubber meets the road

He'll fall in line.

[Snarkoleptic]

10. When the rubber sheets meet the congressional panel,

I think McNasty's grudge might be settled.

9. I believe him.

I think Lindsay Graham and a few other republicans will join him. Susan Collins, Rob Portman, and Lisa Murkowski, perhaps. Maybe even Jeff Flake.
