The Russians hacked my good looks, so I know they were guilty here too.
But they still do not, and never will have a 2/3 majority on any potential law or subject if Trump vetoes.
>>You’re going to see Democrats, and Republicans like [John] McCain and [Lindsey] Graham, and others come together
Republicans like? You mean RINOs who work for the Military-Industrial Complex and think its still 1969?
Why did Schiff speak so redundantly?
He mentioned the word Democrat twice.
Sanctions against Russia are way down on the list of things to reverse. You Lilliputians can puff out your chests about that if it gives you solace.
Taking a page from Obama’s playbook, Trump should just tell them that they can pass what they want, and Trump will decide if he feels like enforcing any of it.
Deter Russia? Is he insane? 3,500 U.S. nuclear warheads didn’t “deter” the USSR from invading Afghanistan. The threat of sanctions didn’t deter Putin from grabbing Crimea. If Democrats and McLame-Linda want to push a Jimmy Carter foreign policy, Trump will laugh them off.
Since it never went though congress in the first place what does he think congress can do about it?
Good luck now, that Tom Cotton has said sanctions should be stronger,
Yeah, defend the dump of Russia at any cost, it’s common here,
Institutionalized doping in the Olympics team, people dying from drinking bath oil, high aids rate, planes that crash, burning bibles, invading Christian nations.
Oh, but the Kremlin is the defense of Western civilization, never mind, they too could be overrun with Muslim demographics. http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2005/08/predicting-a-majority-muslim-russia
Waiting to see Senator Tom Cotton trashed too by Yahoos.
Congress can expect a vigorous house cleaning if they keep playing their idiot games.
Says you.
LOL Graham and McCain are Democrats in essence, so this is nothing. I wrote those two morons off a long time ago. Ryan and McConnell are the ones we have to worry about now.
The back story here is the Cold War between Russia and a coalition of wealthy oil states headed by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The Arab oil states want to kill the competition and control the oil markets.
They took out Libya and Nigeria with the help of Obama and Clinton and they have been supporting and enabling Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Maduro who's own incompetence and mismanagement killed the Venezuelan oil industry.
They have encouraged the chaos in Iraq and Syria which has killed oil production in those countries and attempt were made to gain control of the Aleppo sector so a Saudi/Qatar controlled pipeline could be built through Syria.
They have been using al Qaeda and Chechen/Bosnian Jihadi to sabotage and disrupt Russian oil production and pipelines. The Russian Ukraine intervention was, at least in part, an operation to secure Russian pipelines from attacks from Saudi Jihadi while Ukraine looked the other way.
Seems a number of American Democrat and Republican politicians have a vested interest in supporting the Arabs against the Russians.
These same Americans were also backers of the destabilization operations in Libya, Iraq, Syria and other rivals.
The Russian hacking is a false story, but if we are looking a nefarious foreign manipulation and influence peddling , we may wish to look first at the some of the members of our bought and sold Senate and Obama Administration..
If they are Intel ops don’t we lose our own Intel be pointing them out?
Don’t think they need a 2/3 majority. Don’t think they can do anything.
The sanctions were imposed by executive fiat. They can be removed the same way.
I’m waiting for Tuesday or Wednesday for TRUMP’S comments about the RUSSIAN ‘HACK’.
The Russians hacked my good looks, so I know they were guilty here too.
Here I thought Wikipedia was ABC’s primary source of fact checking. They must have missed this...
Espionage
Traditional espionage is not an act of war, nor is cyber-espionage,[14] and both are generally assumed to be ongoing between major powers.
Despite this assumption, some incidents can cause serious tensions between nations, and are often described as “attacks”. For example:
Massive spying by the US on many countries, revealed by Edward Snowden.
After the NSA’s spying on Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel was revealed the Chancellor compared the NSA with the Stasi.[15]
NSA recording nearly every cell phone conversation in the Bahamas without the Bahamian government’s permission,[16] and similar programmes in Kenya, the Philippines, Mexico and Afghanistan.[17]
The “Titan Rain” probes of American defence contractors computer systems since 2003.[18]
The Office of Personnel Management data breach, in the US, widely attributed to China.[19][20]

Obama should have done more sooner. That is the latest talking points from Dems rethugs. Question, if you couldn’t force Obama to do more what makes you think you can force Trump? Either you are every bit as much to blame as Obama or you don’t have e the power you claim to have. Sanctions that the executive branch wo t enforce are useless
When the Liberal-Leftist ‘Rats are pounding the war drums along with the Neo-Cons it can only end badly for young, working class Americans.
The executive branch chooses to enforce what they will. These threats are all theater.Obama didn’t even need Congress to open up relations with Cuba. If Trump isn’t swayed sanctions go no where
