Trump breaking law. Won't impose the sactions on russia that were passed by congress

BREAKING: President Trump WILL NOT impose sanctions on Russia that were passed by Congress.

What does Vladimir Putin have on him?


The Trump admin has notified Congress that last year’s bipartisan Russia sanctions bill is serving as a “deterrent” and as such, specific sanctions aren’t needed at this time.

He agreed to execute the law but now is defying his oath to the Constitution.

Congress will read the news and eat a donut. Impeachable offenses are committed every fucking day, and Congressional GOPers eat another donut.

Trumpy is proving that THE REPUBLICAN PARTY believes that he is above the law. So... he acts as if he's above the law.

And Congress does nothing.
