    I realize the process, but apparently from Tassy's and JimL's comments they did not. They assumed that Congress was doing it while Trump stood impotently by.

      Thats funny Sparky. You obviously erred, you probably forgot about the veto overide authority of congress, we correct you, and then you claim it was us who didn't understand in the first place. I get it though, no one likes to be wrong.

        Sure, Jimmy, try to save face. But, we all can go back and read what you and Tassy wrote. You were claiming it was a done deal that Trump had no say-so in.

          Hmm, so much for being generous. In the case we were referencing Sparky, it is a done deal, Trump has no say-so, thats why he is signing the sanctions bill. The original plan was obviously to lift the sanctions once Trump took office, which is what Gen. Flynns covert call to the Russians was all about, which is also why he is no longer NSA. Now that Putin understands that Trump can't lift the sanctions, now, nearly 7 months after the fact, he decides to retaliate by throwing U.S. personell out of Russia.

                JimL and Tassman are not wrong in this instance; the sanctions were passed by a veto-proof majority, so Trump can't do anything about it.

                  Well, there have been several instances of folks voting for something but then turning around and not voting for it in order to overturn a veto, but this passed so overwhelmingly it is virtually impossible for it to happen here.

                  Still, we live in some mighty strange times politically speaking so nothing would surprise me.

                  I'm always still in trouble again
