They can’t pass a health care bill but they can do this. *Facepalm*

Never has existed a more cowardly organization that today's GOP-led Congress.

How I wish cancer was contagious.

The Congress can’t even repeal obozocare and they want to unconstitutionally dictate foreign policy. I would be embarrassed to be a member of that worthless body.

Well, he signed it

Now back-channel diplomacy will become more important than ever since we need Russian cooperation to deal with ISIS, North Korea, the Taliban, Ukraine, and Iran

I hope he invites Putin to Mar-a-Lago before the end of the year to sign a peace plan for Syria

Awans and Debbie Wasserman Schultz sold information on EVERY member of congress. It’s it’s hard to contact the dots on who bought that information.

Doubt it. He has been boxed in with the endless Russia Russia Russia. Any attempt at back channel communications will be immediately leaked and added to Mueller’s devil’s brew. If things go wrong enough, McCain will get his wish of war with Russia and he can dance on the graves of thousands before he dies, too.

Nope

There simply must be communication between the US and Russia and I am certain this is occurring and must occur

There is already a ceasefire of sorts worked out in part of Syria

This did not emerge without diplomatic and military contact and presidential coordination

Harsh to say but for the good of the USA, McCain simply cannot die fast enough, imo

And his protégé Miss Linda Graham needs to be reminded she ran for president and got less than 1% of the vote so no one put her in charge of making policy or running the country

If he had refused to sign it (pocket veto) it would automatically become law 10 days after it was voted on. A pocket veto only works if congress is not in session during the 10 day time period. Since the Senate is still in session, the bill would have become law signed or not.

Because they don’t WANT to pass a healthcare bill, but they WANT to screw w/ Trump...the Republicans, that is.

WTH. This is fishy to me. Makes it look like Trump is attempting to cover his butt (”see? I’m not buds with the Ruskies”) before the upcoming (rigged) investigation begins led by Herr Mueller.

If a bill has unconstitutional provisions, don’t sign it. By signing it you undermine the legal case for having it be ruled as unconstitutional.

He should have kicked Congress in the balls and vetoed this. Oh well. Can’t win every day.

So Democrats, who thought Putin and Russia were all the rage 1 year ago, are now ready to apply sanctions? Laughable.
