Malcolm Nance says Trump will lift sanctions on Russia after his meeting with Putin.

[kentuck]

That is all that is left to give Putin. Donald Trump has given him everything else already. He has fulfilled Putin's every wish. He has torn down democracy and institutions in our own country. He has denigrated all of our alliances, including NATO and the European Union. He has surrendered all opposition in Crimea, Georgia, and the Ukraine. He has created anxieties all across the world, to the benefit of Russia.

All that is left are the sanctions that Congress put on Russia. That is Putin's next gift.

Malcolm Nance says that Trump has been in Putin's pocket all along...

[sinkingfeeling]

1. How can he just do that? The sanctions were passed by Congress. Doesn't it

take Congress to lift them?

[kentuck]

4. He could just ignore them...

I suppose?

Which is what he has done already, to a large degree.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

14. He actually said he was going to ignore Congress' sanctions.

He said Russia was sorta kinda acting like there might be sanctions so why make a big deal of it? Then the State Department shut down the agency in charge of enforcing sanctions.

Yep, Donnie Two Shoes is in the pocket of puppet master Putin, despite of what he said during the debates:

2. Doesn't Congress have a day in this??

[eShirl]

7. only if they decide to.

[kentuck]

8. Congress?

What's a Congress??

[olegramps]

19. Its a social club for pols on the take, good pay, lots of benefits and millon dollar job in future.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

3. Having followed Mr Nance

I completely agree.

[handmade34]

5. well, yah, of course

[duforsure]

6. What he'll use to bypass the gop in Congress with

He'll claim more bs saying it'll lower oil prices currently hurting the American people's pocketbooks , which it won't, and lift the oil sanctions for putin , then tell his party it was for national security reasons, again bypassing them if taken to court. He'll also give Crimea to putin so he can then start pulling the same stuff on other countries , and again use national security for an excuse to bypass the gop in Congress with. HE'll do like with his kim meeting and claim they're saving the world and making it safer, which again we'll see its more bs from trump . Dictator and terrorists telling you they'll make the world a safer place is propaganda , used to promote their reign of terror with, and their invasions of others.

[HipChick]

9. The fix is in...Putin is laughing his arse off

[CanonRay]

10. Why doesn't he just make us a Russian colony and be done with it.

[pazzyanne]

12. Hush your mouth!

Don't give "them" any ideas.

[calimary]

21. We already are. We're a Russian satellite country now.

With a compliant Russian asset installed - BY the Russians - in OUR White House.

And now, the Asset has dutifully scheduled an upcoming meeting with his boss to review all assignments completed and get new marching orders for the next year or so. Because the job isn’t complete. The sanctions are still in place, for now, and he hasn’t quite finished with breaking NATO. There are some remaining international organizations that the US has long been part of, which will probably have to be broken, too. I wouldn’t be surprised if he also closes the UN and banishes it from New York City.

There still a lot of work for Putin’s eager little beaver to finish.

[denbot]

11. Wrong.

His last gift to Russia will be pulling us out of NATO.

[JDC]

13. It is the point of his whole presidency. Was the point of Rex Tillerson, etc etc etc.

edit = typo

[sarcasmo]

15. This would explain why the GOP Senators went on a Vlad visit.

Watch the bank accounts of the 6 Senators who were on the Russia visit.

[Honeycombe8]

16. He's a Russian puppet. But Trump needs Congress's approval to lift sanctions, I think.

But right now, before the S.Ct. nomination, Trump can probably do ANYTHING w/o interference from Republicans.

[dembotoz]

17. so lift sanction on russia start trade war with rest of world

what could possibly go wrong

[Enoki33]

18. On this 4th of July it is vital to be reminded that we have a Russian

agent in the Whitehouse. Putin is his handler. And because it is all so very pubic, not enough people are willing to believe it. tRump literally does what he is told by his handler. Plain and simple - we are faced with a demagogue / traitor in the most powerful position in our country. That is the reality.

[yallerdawg]

20. That has always been the endgame!

Putin's Puppet - who has nothing more in mind than being reelected (great for brand!) - can deliver what the Russian criminal oligarchy wants, and leave in place openings for the Russian cyberwar team to attack American elections for the foreseeable future.

R's (our oligarchy) in lockstep.

[disndat]

22. No one has mentioned, so far, is

how much money and real estate deals Trump has made via the Putin bank money laundered through Deutsche Bank via Justin Kennedy, son of Anthony and chums of Trump's children -"the art of the deal" indeed!

[BadGimp]

23. PUTIN WINS AGAIN

I'd bet money on it. There are 7 US Legislators in Russia right now. #ThePartyOfPutin is getting ready to hand Putin the keys to the kingdom. #PutinWinsAgain
