...so why do you still deny it, wingnuts?
'The U.S. Senate voted nearly unanimously on Thursday for legislation to
impose new sanctions on Russia and force President Donald Trump to get
Congress' approval before easing any existing sanctions on Russia.
In a move that could complicate U.S. President Donald Trump's desire for
warmer relations with Moscow, the Senate backed the measure by 98-2.
Republican Senator Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders, an independent who
caucuses with the Democrats, were the only two "no" votes.
The measure is intended to punish Russia for meddling in the 2016 U.S.
election, its annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region and support for
Syria's government in the six-year-long civil war.'
