Senator John McCain said on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a bigger threat to global security than the Islamic State militant group (ISIS).
Speaking in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation show 7:30, McCain called Putin the "premier and most important threat, more so than ISIS.
While McCain said that "ISIS can do terrible things," he added that "it's the Russians who tried to destroy the fundamental of democracy and that is to change the outcome of an American election. McCain said he has seen no evidence that Russia succeeded in changing the outcome of the election, but that Russians tried, and are still trying.
McCain, a Republican from Arizona, also said that Russia tried to influence the French elections earlier this month.

ISIS can kill a handful of people here and there, but Russia seeks to destroy our entire democracy.
This is why it's not 'okay' that Jared was seeking back-channel communications with Russia. There is just no good excuse for this, and it amazes me that so many are trying to excuse what is clearly a treasonous intent.

(32,645 posts)... did Romney know that his party was in cahoots with Pootie even then?
It sounds to me like he did know, but he couldn't have predicted Trump winning 2016. The one-per-centers have been dealing with the devil for a lot longer than that. Anything to get somebody else to pay their taxes for them.
That's what this is all about anyway, since Day One. The Rich Fucks of this country want to get all the benefits but don't want to pay $1 in taxes. We're paying their taxes for them and pretty soon we'll be broke. They'll have it all.

(7,217 posts)The grotesque old bag of horrors is wrong. Again. Trump is a bigger threat than either Russia or ISIS.
We have proof.

He probably got the USA to do a near self-destruct with computer geeks and some money here and there. Not a shot fired, not one Russian hurt. Before some French agent feeds him some Polonium, he should be given the Nobel Prize in Economics.

This is "the best" the repuKKKes can offer?...the goofball, spineless and worthless clown of Congress makes an obvious statement that nobody on the right, not even his propaganda spewing bitch-daughter pays any attention to.
This dog is just as pathetic as the other repuKKKes he hangs with. Cowards and jackals.
