John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., are set to release a bipartisan bill to increase sanctions on Russia over the country's interference in the U.S. presidential election. The Countering Russian Hostilities Act of 2017, whose chief sponsor is Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, will depute at an afternoon press conference, Politico reports. The bill is intended as a message that the GOP wishes to repudiate Russia for its hostile actions despite Republican president-elect Donald Trump has publicly questioned the country's involvement in the hack of the Democratic National Committee.

Get ready for a lot of "bipartisan group of Senators stand against Donald Trump" articles, that are just John McCain and Lindsey Graham if you actually bother to read them.

Trump chooses not to enforce it, America weakened. Mission Accomplished. Congress is filled with idiots who cannot think strategically in the least.

How about Congress focus on something to HELP President-elect Trump and NOT on something to tie his hands?

"The bill is intended as a message that the GOP wishes to repudiate Russia for its hostile actions"

Which is why its chief sponsor is a Maryland Democrat, who I am sure cares so much about the Republican Party's image with the American public.

Funny isn’t it? The congress’ entire goal since the election has been over has been to try and make it look like Trump is illegitimate and to try and force his hand on one of the things he ran on (that was against all the other losers who got destroyed by him) Russian policy. Senators are really idiots. They should be appointed and not elected so we can regularly change them by getting in state legislators who are in tune with their constituents. Oh wait! That’s what it’s supposed to be.

“Get ready for a lot of “bipartisan group of Senators stand against Donald Trump” articles, that are just John McCain and Lindsey Graham if you actually bother to read them. “

They are looking to put Trump into a corner with his picks. Don’t think they know yet that this game is over.

With all the fears over hacking, foreign electronic warfare, compromised intelligence agencies, etc. you would think some combination of assets could dig up the smoking gun on McCain and force him out of office (I wish).

Maybe these wanna-be presidents could wait to see what policies the ELECTED President and his Cabinet recommend?
