They will be required to book year-long reservations at various Drumpf properties?
More GOP nonsense.
“We felt it was important to demonstrate the president has taken command
of this issue, that it’s something he cares deeply about — that the
integrity of our elections and our constitutional process are a high
priority to him,” Bolton said.
“This is especially aimed at a man who it won’t affect in the slightest.” he continued

I wonder if Dan Coats slid this EO under Trump’s wandering mind and pen just long enough to get it signed?
Also, Mr. Coats, get your story straight, our elections depend on it:
National Intelligence Director Dan Coats said the U.S. is not currently seeing the intensity of Russian intervention that was experienced in 2016, but didn’t rule it out.
Aa month ago he said this:
“The warning lights are blinking red again,” Mr. Coats said as he cautioned of cyberthreats. “Today, the digital infrastructure that serves this country is literally under attack.”
Trump: I do not consider a Russian as a “Foreigner”. Never have and never will.
Does it need to be said that authorizing the sanctions is one thing, applying them quite another?
“We felt it was important to demonstrate the president has taken command of this issue, that it’s something he cares deeply about — that the integrity of our elections and our constitutional process are a high priority to him,” Bolton said.
Window dressing. Very important, even if the windows have been left wide open.
“The executive order covers not just interference with campaign infrastructure, but it also covers the distribution of disinformation and propaganda…”
So Trump just sanctioned himself?
And while we’re on the subject, just how had Trump “picked it up” – and from whom?
Don the Con will likely soon confer US citizenship on Vlad Putin.
“We felt it was important to demonstrate the president has taken command of this issue, that it’s something he cares deeply about — that the integrity of our elections and our constitutional process are a high priority to him,” Bolton said.
Right…
We felt it was important to demonstrate the president has taken command of this issue…
Take command. Trump. I can’t…I…it’s…
Interesting that there is no mention of any interference in US elections by Republicans.
I expect vigorous enforcement. Following, of course, a lengthy process of producing reports and recommendations, all of which require review by the Minister of Propaganda. The Russians are quaking with fear.
Or hmmm-- will these sanctions be enforced upon nations who send “illegal immigrants” to vote by the millions?
Hannity? Fat Nixon’s preferred information source.
I’ll give Stormy and Avanatti this, they know how to play the game and are making the most out of it.
But but Putin insists very strongly and powerfully he did nothing…and Trump absolutely believes him…
determine whether an individual, entity or country has interfered in a U.S. election and, if so, turn the information over to the attorney general and Department of Homeland Security.
So the information can be compiled and filed in Trump’s personal White House cabinet for a full review when he’s out of office.
