The Russians Sanctions have not been implemented. Where is the press on this?

Tonight Trump has now said he will put an import tax on European automobiles.

Trump's position on NATO is that it is obsolete and we should consider pulling out of NATO.

Is there really any doubt that he is doing Putin's bidding.

I think the country is in a very dangerous state right now, and unless Special Counsel is able to make charges stick, or unless the Democrats are abole to take back Congress in 2018, I think this will be the end of America as we know it

By all accounts the republicans are not going to do anything

Will be to get control of both Houses of Congress. The GOP are corrupted, and cannot be counted on to uphold the law, or Constitution.

as we have been doing, but things take time. I agree. We will not be able to do it all in one election. It will take a long time to clean up.

you can google for some of what was missed. He's our minority leader on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Plus, a few weeks ago a bunch of Democrats sent Tillerson a letter saying failure to impose was unacceptable.

As R B Garr says, that's what our representatives get to do when too many Democrats decide not to bother to vote, or do a throwaway vote. Watch helplessly and make thundering speeches and official statements that even their own constituents don't bother to notice.

And like Muriel and Still indicate, we can put an end to this intensely unacceptable situation on November 6. Control of even one house would make a huge difference, both would be a revolution.

They should be out there screaming it on every new show. But course, they’re terrible at messaging
