What, 1999, 2010 and 2016 now? As other posters have stated, what, nothing better to do with your congressional time, fellas? Fuckstick McClownshoes, The Twitter on the Shitter, is talking about a new "arms race" with his Mother Russia, and this is what you're doing. Got it. Let that whole Supreme Court Justice thing go largely ignored, but this is a priority.

Idiots.
