WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has overwhelmingly approved a resolution against allowing Russia to question former U.S. ambassador Michael McFaul or other U.S. officials. It was a formal rebuke to President Donald Trump, who touted the offer at the Helsinki summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hastily arranged the vote on the nonbinding resolution after Democrats proposed the measure in response to what Trump had called Putin’s “incredible offer.”
Putin offered to allow the U.S. to question 12 Russians accused of interfering in the 2016 election in exchange for permitting Russia to interview Americans the Kremlin accuses of unspecified crimes.
Facing a backlash of bipartisan criticism, the White House on Thursday said Trump “disagrees” with Putin’s offer. That statement came moments before the Senate vote.
Senators voted 98-0, with all Democrats and most Republicans supporting the resolution.
98-0
I assume that one of the two missing votes was John McCain who is absent from the Senate, and the other was PROBABLY Rand Paul abstaining to vote (asshole that he is.)
What is" incredible" is that the White House even for a nanosecond considered this"proposal" or that it has y=taken so long to walk the Doofus’ comments back.
So people are asking: is Dumbo Don the Con really as stupid and ignorant as he appears; is he a Russian asset and thus a traitor, committing treason daily; or both?
My vote is both.
Bring on impeachment of the traitor.
Trump should have been impeached for even considering this. He is a traitor.
Is the Congress going to deal with it by slapping down each traitorous act one by one or are they going to stand up to him and impeach him?
You cannot be for our country and for Donald Trump.
It is either one or the other.
I’m glad the GOP still has these lucid moments, like when Grandma has one of her good days, and you laugh together over some story. You know it’s not a good situation really. You know she’s not going to get better. There’s much worse to come. But just for a few moments, it’s like old times.
