Republicans Break Ranks Over Sanctions on Oligarch
January 16, 2019 at 6:48 am EST By Taegan Goddard

New York Times: “The 11 Republican votes allowed Senate Democrats to advance a measure that would reverse a decision last month by the Treasury Department to lift sanctions that it imposed last year on companies controlled by the oligarch, Oleg V. Deripaska, including the aluminum giant Rusal.”

1. Maybe today the same folks will open govt again?

[duforsure]

2. They should all say

Sanctions will be held against these russians , period, and then announce nothing will be passed until trump and mcconnell allow the government to reopen , and all workers return to work. By not sticking together to do this , it will worsen , and this tactic will only be used as a weapon more against us in the future.

3. Spines Detected?

Surely not!

[democratisphere]

4. Mitch will get his switch and beat and threaten wayward redumbliCONS back into

submission.

[watoos]

5. Wonder why Lisa Murkowski voted no?

Maybe from her house she can't see Russia?

6. cracks are appearing. good. n/t

7. It's possible this group isn't owned by Putin.

But the turtle still won't go against Trump. Schumer needs to find a way around.

8. It seems like Mitt Romney

lost his spine after he criticized Trump a few weeks ago

[Farmer-Rick]

9. Totally expected

He is all bark and no bite

[not fooled]

10. Yeah

So much for the "conscience of the republican party" or whatever such drivel the corporate media were trying to bestow on him when he entered the Senate.

mitt, we see you--another in a long line of enablers for the orange turd.

13. He is probably hoping Trump gets booted out of office

and realizes he needs the Trump base to win - so, he's supporting the Wall.

14. He still owes the Russians for his 2012 run

[Andy823]

11. Is there a list of those who

Didn't vote to advance the measure? Those might be the ones who got money from Putin!

[allgood33]

12. These same 11 could bring the shutdown to a halt if Mitch the bitch would allow a vote.

Mitch is getting off too easy as are the FOX flunkies Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity and Laura Ingram.
