The Republican-led Senate voted decisively to punish Moscow for interfering in the 2016 election by approving a wide-ranging sanctions package that targets key sectors of Russia's economy and individuals who carried out cyber attacks.

Senators on Wednesday passed the bipartisan sanctions legislation 97-2, underscoring broad support among Republicans and Democrats for rebuking Russia after U.S. intelligence agencies determined Moscow had deliberately interfered in the presidential campaign. Lawmakers who backed the measure also cited Russia's aggression in Syria and Ukraine.

    Lolz.
    Come on little guy, I am sure there is still a toy somewhere in your cot you have not thrown out because mummy told you its time to move up the big big boy bottle for your feed..

    As far as I can see (from, thank god, not america) HE IS SIMPLY CARRYING ON THE PROUD TRADITION OF THE US PRESIDENCY.

    Doesnt actually look that different from the last guy, or the last ten, from outside you know..
    Well, I will admit, there is one difference - we are actually getting more porting on what Trump does, and he is much more open about it.
    So, I guess thats an improvement right? Seems almost like transparency..

    Yeah, you can go fuck yourself with the childish character attacks. There was literally nothing in your response to me of substance.

    All that matters is that high level people in our intelligence community have informed of us that it has happened, a leak of top secret material has confirmed it, and that there are ongoing investigations into many of the members of Trump's campaign because of the Russian interference.

    Do you have anything useful to say? Any retort with facts? Then fuck off and die you little bitch.
