The deadline for implementing the Russian sanctions has come and gone. There is no enforcement of them by this president. Anyone here know why that would be?
I don't know, but I'll take some stabs at it...
1. He's too busy thinking up his next feud-tweet aimed at the grieving widow of a soldier who was killed while serving our country.
2. He's too busy thinking up new nicknames and prefixes for his most vocal Republican critics -- McCain, Corker and Flake ("Little", "Lil" and "Liddle'" are getting stale).
3. He's too busy promising to get a debt-increasing and deficit-increasing tax reform bill approved by Congress (which will be even more difficult if even one of those most vocal Republican critics doesn't get on board).
4. He's too busy obsessing over how to get athletes fired over kneeling in silent social protest for a minute or two before football games.
5. He has no intention of taking punitive action against Russia, no matter what Congress legislates, because he's personally vested or enamored with Russia, its leader, or dictatorship.
6. It's hard to enforce anything from inside a moving golf cart.
7. He'll do it soon and those will be the biggest most beautiful sanctions anyone has ever seen, believe me.
