Yeah, finally Russian Sanctions will be on the news!

No one is covering this big story since "the memo" has been distracting the MSM all day and night. Brian Williams (MSNBC) just announced that he will cover it next. The House and Senate voted with overwhelming majorities to have more sanctions against Russia and the moron's admin said that what is in place is sufficient and they do not see the need for more sanctions so they will not implement them.

against his sworn duty. But it doesn't matter. The GOP is happy with their big baby.

Now, under normal circumstances, Congress as an institution would get a little upset, and the SOTU address would be an ideal place and time to voice displeasure.

Watch what happens. Nothing. Dems won't go into full-blown "ouch-- that hurts" mode. GOPers will rub their crotches. But for sure, we'll all hear about the glitz and glam factor, over and over, until Trumpy's gleaming smile becomes the thing of dreams. Thank you, bringers of the truth from the Fourth Estate.

Maddow's program tonight was riveting. And true, and truly frightening. She's not using scare tactics. She's merely reporting on the frightening news.

A wishful event unlikely to occur is that two or three GOP Senators will jump ship to the Democratic Party, immediately. That will throw the Senate into Democratic control. Those who know what's at stake also know that it's an easy call.
