The Trump admin is not going to implement the sanctions against Russia. I’ve been mentioning this since they missed the initial deadline in October, but they officially confirmed they do not intend to go through with the bipartisan bill. This comes at a time when CIA chief, Mike Pompeo, says he believes the Russians intend to also interfere with the US 2018 mid-terms. The bill was created as a response to Russia interfering with our 2016 Election and similar such things in the last year. It was passed easily by both Democrats and Republicans. 

In my opinion, Congress needs to enforce the bill. But the GOP is silent and the only Democrat who has said anything basically stated he’s not happy with it.

If a Bill is passed a long and President hadn't vetoed or it have been approved after veto the congress absolutely should demand the enforcement. Or prosecute the president that is going against constitutional process.

This russophobia nonsense need to stop. sanctions don't work, Russia and China are about to launch a new way of making international exchanges that doesn't need the dollar, it's a new step towards the death of the petrodollar and the dollar as the world reserve status.

You were to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness.

What does that have to do with this? So you mean the president shouldn't follow decisions made by representatives of the people just because he disagrees with them?

yes, there is not a single proof, after months of investigation, Russia hacked the elections. making these huge sanctions based somethig that is not proved  is totally  retarded.

Trump is God to some people and his will is to override our own.  Thats how it works now.

Still has nothing to do with this, since the issue is that the president is ignoring a direct order from the senate.
