So the White House has announced a new order sanctioning any country that interferes in US elections, or more precisely "enabling" sanctions, as if they weren't already enabled by legislation Congress passed over a year ago. BooMan explains that it's a fraud, the purpose of which is actually to stop Congress from putting more pressure on the administration, but I wanted to tack on a few words on the background:
You-all told us last March he was implementing the sanctions against election interference that Congress asked for the previous AUGUST six weeks after the deadline https://t.co/YXEwA0lI2Z— Yasphalt Jungle (@Yastreblyansky) September 13, 2018
But that turned out not to be true https://t.co/0EkixJH8xH he still hadn't done it in JULY— Yasphalt Jungle (@Yastreblyansky) September 13, 2018
And in a couple of weeks those fucking Republicans were rolling over and letting him—and Putin—off the hook. https://t.co/RZtQm58rbw— Yasphalt Jungle (@Yastreblyansky) September 13, 2018
Now it's September 2018 and you're telling us "No, serious, this time it's for real" and DNI will notify Trump of election interference within 45 days of and election and formulate a sanctions plan in another 45 days. https://t.co/QrdVM4MCrm Hello? November 6 is 55 days from now!— Yasphalt Jungle (@Yastreblyansky) September 13, 2018
And the sanctions are supposed to be "automatic" but in fact the president has "full waiver opportunities" to let Putin off again. https://t.co/COgxMbCM7C Are you fucking crazy, expecting anybody to believe this?— Yasphalt Jungle (@Yastreblyansky) September 13, 2018
Russia may have attacked US elections, but it didn't attack Trump. The attack was on Trump's behalf. Whether it's loyalty to a friend or payoff to a blackmailer, Trump is never going to do this, whatever it takes."C'mon American people, I promise I'm going to put those sanctions on this time! Trust me!" pic.twitter.com/bmI8MgmflG— Yasphalt Jungle (@Yastreblyansky) September 13, 2018
