Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham, two hawks on U.S. policy toward Russia, said they will lead the push in the upcoming Congress for sanctions on Moscow that are stronger than those the Obama administration announced Thursday.
"The retaliatory measures announced by the Obama administration today are long overdue. But ultimately, they are a small price for Russia to pay for its brazen attack on American democracy.

Two WackoBirds
How about Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd?
Two scorpions. As my Aunt used to say, when on safari you should empty your boot before you put your foot in it.
Two complete idiots who are also mad that Hillary didn’t win.
They are pushing war because they think it will prevent/give them cover for the upcoming economic disasters.
These two hacks don’t even know what evidence the U.S. has.
Nobody does, because there is no evidence.
They just want to start WW3
*rofl*
Hey McLame, please GO AWAY, you useless traitorous scum.
Fake Republicans sure do love their fake news.
All I can do is vote against them. If someone responsible would run as a Republican against Graham I believe he would be beat. But he has so much money behind him and the Republican Party here will not buck him. I guess he knows where all the skeletons are buried.
