If everyone in Congress but 5 people makes a law the president oWes an explanation for ignoring it.
It's plain and simple.
Whats plain to everyone, even those pretending, is the election hack was a hoax, perped by Hillary as an excuse for losing the election.
The election wasn't hacked. That's a red herring and a strawman.
Isolation and containment of Russia is the reality.

Sure but that doesn't have to do with what their power is in the Constitution.
Sure he has veto power but he may want to explain why he would ignore a law passed by all but 5 members.
I hate to break this to you but those who bought and paid for the Congress has already turned the Constitution into a toilet paper .
Can't you see what is on the horizon for US and why Trump the Jesuit Knight was brought into Presidency ?
You think the constitution became toilet paper when Trump became President?
You are ignorant of the last 16-24 years.

Ok. Fact remains that you seem to be misrepresenting the situation, as the election was not hacked nor was it hoaxed.

This is a good point, though it begs the question why didn't Trump and his administration say as much rather than just claim that the 'threat of sanctions was punishment enough'?

I took the implications of your accusation to mean that Trump should impose sanctions because you, like many others, have assumed guilt, and this is simply proof of that assumed guilt.

Again with assumptions and presumptions ; i have never said it became toilet paper when Trump got elected .
When Federal Reserve was founded the Congress became the puppet and Constitution became the toilet paper .
I thought everyone who is awoke knew this fact .
Ah. Well I'm not sure where I've stated that Trump is unequivocally guilty, so if I have done so in the past I was wrong. I suspect he is, but that's not immediately relevant to the sanctions since regardless of whether Trump is squeaky clean or not most of Congress believes the intelligence community enough to believe sanctions are warranted. The 'proof of assumed guilt' is less proof and more a suspicion that the optics of an individual who has been claimed beholden to (and is being investigated for) Russian interference is going against the wishes of even his own party and 'letting Russia off easy'. Surely you can see what I mean by the appearance of such an action?

As I stated, I do not think dispelling political suspicion and conspiracy theory is reason enough to impose crippling sanctions on another country.

No, but an armed invasion and annexation is. That was why the sanctions were imposed in the first place. The situation has not changed, and those sanctions provided a justification for attempting to interfere with America's political process. If the US can interfere with Russia's politics, why shouldn't Russia interfere with America's?

For a conspiracy forum I find it weirdly disconcerting that what is seemingly a occurrence akin to handing a conspiracy up to the public on a silver platter is being ignored on a site who's focus is just that.
The conspirators have suborned the conspiracy theorists. By posing as conspiracy theorists, Russian trolls have left a trail that has led CTs so far into the woods that they refuse to see what anyone with eyes can see.
I get the same impression. Its like Trump supporters have been conditioned over the last year to disbelieve anything from anyone that isn't Trump.

Then I suppose you should speak more plainly.
But could you elaborate on how Trump is a Jesuit Knight?
Two of Pope Francis’s closest collaborators have accused religious leaders close to the administration of President Donald Trump of having a “Manichean vision,” based on a “gradually radicalized” theology growing from the early 20th century fundamentalist movement.
Jesuit Father Antonio Spadaro, editor-in-chief of the influential Rome-based Jesuit publication La Civiltà Cattolica, and Marcelo Figueroa, the editor-in-chief of the Argentinean edition of the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, co-wrote an article in the latest edition of La Civiltà Cattolica looking at the relationship between “Evangelical Fundamentalism” and “Catholic Integralism.”

The bill in question, signed begrudgingly by Trump last August, had imposed new sanctions on Russia for allegedly interfering in the 2016. The situation has changed.

Worse than that. They have been programmed to believe that truth is unknowable. That is why they have plastered the noosphere with the "Flat Earth" meme. Once conspiracy theorists bought into the idea that it was possible for a giant planet to be hiding over the South Pole, erasing other basic physical facts became possible. Critical thinking is being replaced by confirmation bias on the "marketplace of ideas."

There has been a terrible train wreck with GOP on board. They hit a garbage truck!
What Im waiting to see is what happens when they hit that next garbage truck (the DNC) with the MEMO.
Id be interested to hear Mr Putins comments at that time...... K?
