Will liberal MSM be phrasing Trump today ? Trump targets Moscow with new sanctions on 17 on oligarchs.

Sure they will. That's what they wanted. Trump to get tough with Russia. Right ?

I think you mean praising?
They're definitely discussing it, and saying it's a good step.
The sanctions actually include Putin's son in law.

If Trump took it a step further, and made a statement, or even put out a tweet explaining why he took these actions, I think he would be received extremely well.

Yeah that's the word.

Nice to see they are supporting the president.
Now if he would only start a war with Russia they would go all in trying to support him.

Absolutely Trump should be given an attaboy for doing something that is actually based on common sense. Now if we could just do something about the other 99% of the blatherings that flow from his egomaniacal brain. Whats's that saying? "Even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while."

Sounds like there is a bitter taste in that acorn.
Maybe a nice bowl of hot bug guts to make it palatable.

Its all good though. The resistance is over. Lets celebrate that.

Let us wait and see if there is a 'hook'.


For instance, many cheered when Trump expelled those 60 Russian diplomats, suspected of being spies anyway.


However, oddly enough, Russia was told by the State Department that they could send 60 fresh Russians to take those spots.

It seems more like simply a rotation home of spies.


Hence, will these newly sanctioned individuals be able to apply to Mr. Trump for an exemption? We shall see. Anyway, makes for news, at least.

And there's the difference between you and I. I will gladly, happily, give Trump credit when he does something useful. At the same time I can assure you that I will NEVER give him a pass for his continuing childish and selfish behavior. Why would I?

Making a public statement would certainly be something most Presidents with any loyalty to our nation would do.

The deadline for taking action on this legislation has long since passed. But better late than never.

Interesting thought.

They pounce on anything that looks unfavorable but on something favorable its lets "wait and see".
