Putin is suffering? From what?

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?

Trump supporters have zero answer for this. NONE.

- A Republican Senate and Congress felt Russian sanctions were necessary

- 16 US intelligence agencies havw confirmed Russia did attempt to meddle with our elections

- MULTIPLE Trump campaign officials quit, and the NSA Director resigned due to alleged Russia ties.


Yet Trump continues to try lifting the sanctions on Russia, and most of his supporters are okay with it.

Trumpers have no answer for this. You folks look silly.

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?

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.
