The Trump Administration is correct, we need to develop better relations with Russia and not do things that will harm the people already suffering.
Putin is suffering? From what?

Especially where it relates to his adopted homeland.
Well, that would be hugely entertaining. R president vetoing a bill sent to him by R congress, then R congress overriding an R president's veto.
Bring it on!

I agree - and did all during the Cold War - that we should be looking for more ways to cooperate, not fewer.
But I draw the line at allowing Russia, or anyone else, open access to americans' voting systems. I don't see Russia granting the US reciprocal rights to their election system, do you?
President Trump’s White House is expected to push House Republicans to change the Senate’s Russia sanctions bill to make it more friendly to Russia, according to a new report.
Yeah, a Congressional bill with nearly unanimous, bi-partisan support to punish the country who committed a massive hostile attack against us and Trump is already trying to weaken it so it doesn't hurt his buddy Putin.
Say it with me: "Trump is guilty".
Absolutely, no question.
Yet Trump has no ties at all to Russia
If he has no ties to Russia and he's not working for Putin, why is he trying to water down the sanctions that were approved by 97 out of 100 senators?
Russia has attacked our electoral systems. If our so-called president will not defend our country against aggression but instead gives aid and comfort to our attackers, then is that not an impeachable offense?
The most telling thing that Trump has (not) done, is he has never come out and said that the Russian hacking concerns him and is a national threat. He has been unusually silent about that subject, the ONLY thing he never opens his mouth about.
He is so indebted to Putin that he needs to walk softly on that subject.
