Ryan knows passage of tough sanctions would trigger Putin to release info on Trump. For maximum chaos, it has to be released while Trump’s base still supports him.

That explains why the Senate repugs passed it without a fuss. They knew the House creeps wouldn’t.

From the above, “legislation that would impose economic penalties against Russia and Iran . . . House GOP leaders say the legislation violates a constitutional requirement that legislation involving revenue must start in the House.”

WTF. How do sanctions against foreign nations involve revenue? This is not a budget item that needs to go through the house 1st. Seriously, can someone explain the rule and logic to me, otherwise reporter should have been informed and called BS on that.

Seriously! What federal funding is the House leadership referring to that comes from Russia and/or Iran??

Notice no one claims to be a Reagan Republican.
They are now Putin Puppets.
I never knew a Republican that backed Russia.
Maybe we have a new third party.

Maybe Speaker Vidkun Ryan now considers the Russian Mob loans to Famigila Trump to be “national income” because there is no distinction between the federal treasury and His Royal Personage? I dunno, best I could come up with – and “best” is not very good in this case.
