The forgotten Russian sanctions

[RDANGELO]

It wasn't much more than ten days ago t it was announced that the Trump administration had missed the deadline for implementing the sanctions on Russia for interfering in the presidential election. They were passed almost unanimously by both houses and signed by the President. To my knowledge nothing else has come of this publicly.We all know what Trump's attitude has been towards anything to do with Russians and the election. This has national security implications. If the sanctions are not imposed, this is definitely and impeachable offense. With Trump's ability at distraction, this issue appears to have been lost in the shuffle.

7. Money

With Russian rubles in their pockets, don't expect the republicans, to do anything.

8. they wanted to impeach Obama for extending the sign up period for ACA by a few

days.

Refusing to implement sanctions against a foreign adversary is clearly less important than the crime of giving citizens more time to sign up for healthcare.

10. My disgust with the GOP on a scale of 1 to 10,

is at 11 (on the Spinal Tap scale that is). My entire family, all three generations, is livid. My parents are 83 and have seen a lot yet they are speechless. We can't even find the words to express our level of thorough digust.
