The President is facing new criticism, including from some in his party, for ordering sanctions relief for Russia, even as it continues to strike Ukraine. NBC News’ Yamiche Alcindor reports.

    Congress could pass new legislation repealing the portion of the law that allows him to pause sanctions without Congressional approval.

    But the Republicans are completely servile to Trump, with very few exceptions, and they’re not going to do a fucking thing in this case. And they need Russian help to steal the election.

    Not once has this dickhead experienced anything approaching consequences for his actions and I don’t see it starting any time soon.

      I mean, he’s failed all his life. Now he’s obsessed with getting his name on things, but it’s probably all going to immediately be stripped off

      It’s not legal consequences, but every time he gets ahead he’s faced with failure. He’s a deeply unhappy old man who will die as a footnote to the forces that allowed him to take power

    He should be impeached immediately, but the feckless Republicans won’t do it, he’s still a useful idiot to them.

      He has been impeached successfully. TWICE! I’m assuming that you mean removed from office as a consequence of the charges of impeachment. Of that, I completely agree.

      You’re right though, he’s still a useful idiot.
