Is there something going on in The House in terms of Congressmen not receiving accurate intelligence about the nonexistent role of Russia in US elections? Why have they voted for these additional sanctions if there is no evidence? Russia is cooperating with us on terrorism and cyber security and this #FAKE Congress is treating them like North Korea and Iran.

Someone needs to talk to Paul Ryan. Lack of discipline. #MAGA

Or, and I'm going out on a crazy long limb here, the Russians are actually up to a little bit of shady shite.


Their is a lot of discontent they can sow through disinformation without actively colluding with anyone

Russian invaded a sovereign nation and we arent supposed to do anything?

American intelligence agencies said they interferred with the presidential election and we should golf clap?

Ummm... they've been doing that for a century now. In the U.S. Is that sanctionable?

We have done the same thing in nearly every country on the globe, including currently doing it in Russia.

Hell, the last admin got busted funneling money to help influence an Israeli election.

Stop with that bullshite. They didn't invade anyone. They spread information. It's our responsibility as Americans to turn on our bullshite detector and wade through that muck to find the truth. But we shouldn't bury our heads in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist.

... if you can't understand why 419 to 13 don't think like you? There no way we'll be able to get through that dense skull.

Without looking, I would bet that one of those three is Rohrabacher

Apparently they know something we don't. Republicans need to explain ASAP why they voted to elevate our war footing with a global superpower.

This is no cost "Look we did something" crap.

They cannot pass anything that matters but they can do grandstanding crap that will have zero effect in the long run.

It's calling people out in this country for hypocrisy. If you can't see that there are people in that body who voted for sanctions against Russia for invading Ukraine but continually push for war with countries who have not attacked America, I don't know what to say.

1) POTUS has already said that there is little if any evidence that Russia interfered in the elections.

2) At first we heard it was 17, now we learn that it was ONLY four intelligence agencies saying Russia had tried to influence our elections. In fact, it was probably only one (CIA, NSA or DNI, all of which are political and probably don't have the US's best interest in mind)

3) Given that there is no evidence of interference, it means that the entire House is being manipulated by the liberal Russia narrative and the fear of investigations etc. It needs to stop!

4) Along with not supporting the President, it is giving shelter to liberals cheering from the sidelines and alienating a potentially valuable and strategic ally.
