McCain told ABC that US president Donald Trump made him “nervous” and "expressed concern at reports that White House adviser Jared Kushner allegedly discussed creating a secret communication channel with Russia," the newspaper said on its website.
“I think he is the premier and most important threat, more so than ISIS (Islamic State)," he said, when asked "to evaluate the threat to global security posed by Putin."
"Islamic State can do terrible things and I worry a lot about what is happening with the Muslim faith... but it’s the Russians who tried to destroy the fundamental of democracy and that is to change the outcome of an American election," he went on.
"I've seen no evidence (Russians) succeeded but they tried and they are still trying to change elections," said McCain.
@Peggy, 30 May 2017 11:04....All religion teaches hatred to gays, different colours, different religions
===…==
Again I ask for you to show me just one verse in the Bible where Jesus or anyone else teaches hatred towards gays or anyone else.
Yes, I know that the Bible says that homosexuality is not right but there is nothing there for anyone to use as an excuse to start hating or killing because of it.
I have shown you examples from the Koran but now it's up to you to prove your statement.

"All religion teaches hatred to gays, different colours, different religions."
Jesus didn't teach hatred toward anyone.
Are people living disobedience to their inborn nature by being gay? Yes, this is obvious to anyone with the slightest bit of a conscience. It is contrary to God's will so that makes it evil. Evil requires correction and/or punishment but always with love and for the improvement of the sinner.
Who cares what color a person's skin is? I don't recall any mention of skin color in the Bible so I can't imagine where someone would come up with a justification for racism from Scripture.
Followers of religions other than Christianity (and all people who take the name of Christianity but are not obedient disciples of Jesus) worship a false god or gods, usually themselves. We call this idolatry. It should cause us to pity the person. I don't see any reason to hate them.
This liberal nonsense about hatred for gays, people with different skin color, and different religions is just mumbo-jumbo propaganda.

The Koran contradicts it self so badly, it's embarrassing! Religion of Peace??Laughable! I ask just ONE question of these supposedly "peaceful, moderate" Muslims: WHAT DO YOU PROPOSE TO DO ABOUT THE GROWING POPULATION OF MUSLIMS WHO MISUNDERSTAND AND CONCLUDE THAT THEIR HIGHEST DUTY IS TO SLAUGHTER UNBELIEVERS AND HYPOCRITES?? Tell me, What do you propose???? Please 'moderate" muslims, answer my question!

Unfortunately I was raised catholic until the age of 13 and then turned my back on all religion and have been living a happy full filled life with out the constraints of religious brainwashing. Seriously how can one say they are sane and believe in a man no one has ever seen, believe some guy in the sky raped a virgin so she can give birth to a dude in a manger, that is some seriously whacked up s*it.

The most fundamental message of Jesus is the Sermon on the Mount:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."
How could Jesus' message of peace be any plainer?

You have that confused with the Koran.
How about you present some verses from the Bible which teach us to hate?
Here are some from the Koran:
“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60)”
“The Qur’an guarantees Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111).”
Here is some abuse of children being looked upon favourably.
“The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with ‘Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death) (Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88).”
“Allah on 480 occasions in the Holy Koran extols Muslims to wage jihad. We only fulfil God’s orders. Only jihad can bring peace to the world.” — Taliban terrorist Baitullah Mehsud
Yes because Putin just killed 22 people, including children, at a concert in Manchester.... Somehow, actually killing innocent people pales in comparison to the unspeakable crime of trying to sway the US elections. To which point accounts to nothing more than a leaf in your gale of allegations. Where is the evidence? Just as your career, your word holds no merit. The only reason your even in such a flutter is that had the elections been rigged and had your fat, greedy clowder lost, no longer would you be riding the hump of the average tax payer (peasant)

Yes, Mc cain was captured and a P.O.W. held at the HANOI HILTON. However, he was not tortured for as long and as harshly as other prisoners. His capters broke him and he gave them much vital info. Quite often freely. That is why he was known as the SONG BIRD by the North Viets

he spent a number of years as a pow. he knows first hand what it feels like to be a pow. he knows what its like to be tortured for information. he also firmly believes that torture will successfully pull vital information from a prisoner. the only way he can reach a conclusion that goes counter to what most psychologists would theoretically expect, is that he himself handed over vital information, or is one to believe that he alone on this world is not susceptible to torture, that his power of will is stronger than anyone else's, that he was able to withstand years of torture without giving up information, yet his prisoners are weak, and will divulge everything to free themselves.
