U.S. Senator John McCain, commenting on Friday on speculation that President Donald Trump is considering lifting sanctions on Russia, said he hoped the administration would reject that “reckless course.”

“If he does not, I will work with my colleagues to codify sanctions against Russia into law,” McCain, one of the Republican party’s senior foreign policy voices, said in a statement.

1. no he won't

He is just another little man who talks big.

4. Agreed

He's just posturing to get on the sunday talk show circuit this weekend. He couldn't even stand up to "Shrub" when it was needed with the Iraq War. Sigh...

go bankrupt

5. I kind of blame John McCain for Donald Trump

Because he trotted out that balloon head Sarah Palin in 2008 who was a breath of fresh air for saying Barack Obama pals around with terrorists, incited crowds to yell "kill him" and make being white trash and talk like white trash normal and acceptable. That is when what little bit of decorum and graciousness that was left disappeared from the Republican party. They don't even pretend to be civil anymore. And that began with Sarah Palin and Sarah Palin was created by John McCain. He has a lot to atone for so he'd better work harder than he has.

6. I seem to remember that Dump was unimpressed by McCain.

I'm not sure he carries much weight with this administration.

[Bob Loblaw]

7. That should take care of it.

8. Good for John McCain

Trump will drop the sanctions and I'm sure he'll get some kind of a kickback from Putin.I'm sure this was part of the negotations prior to Russia helping Trump win the election.

[SHRED]

9. Why not? He voted to confirm Tillerson

I trust this old kook as far as I could throw him.

10. If only it were that easy.

McCain is only one guy. Turtle and Eddie Munster will roll over for Minipoot and Russia.

[Ilsa]

11. It's further evidence that trump

Owes Putin for getting him elected and to help Putin remain ready and in position to create additional oblasts for russia.

[bdamomma]

14. yes the pieces

of the puzzle are falling into place now.

I wonder what Lindsay Graham will say?

[sakabatou]

12. Like hell he'll listen to McCain

because he owes a lot to Russia.
