German Chancellor Angela Merkel condemned as attempted murder the novichok outrage and demanded that Putin answer tough questions about it. Britain said it was already working on a coordinated response to punish Russia for the chemical attack. So far Donald Trump remains silent.
The Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act demands that a U.S. president impose sanctions within 90 days of the determination that a chemical weapon has been used. So Trump has until about 30 days after the election to impose sanctions on Russia under the CBW Act. Whether or not he will, of course, remains to be seen. Apart from his love of all things evil, Donald Trumps baffling loyalty to Putin is impossible to justify.
More puzzling still is Putins use of novichok again, considering how much it cost him politically the last time. The only explanation I can think of, and if youre normal and human youll be as flummoxed by it as I am, is he did it because he can. He did it because he is Vladimir Putin the All Powerful, and he revels in the infamous myth hes created for himself. Putin is his own comic book supervillain. Absurd, to be sure, but about what youd expect from a murderous tyrant who rides shirtless on horseback while wearing a crucifix.

Vladimir Putin is an evil, evil man. Hes a man in love with his own power and, not only does he not care that people hate him for the evil that he is, he actually gets off on it. One thing we can do to strike back at him is to vote his biggest fan and puppet, Donald Trump, out of office in November. Lets do it. And, as ever, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, comrades and friends, stay safe.

First though will be the SHOCKING actions of Barr in October...stay tuned.
If putin can keep puppet in power, he can either invade Europe with American troops on his side or he can crush their economy using our government.
Personally, I am doing what I can, everything I can to get Joe in office but I am preparing for fascist takeover and as a patriot I cant accept that.

Imho, Dems should begin impeachment against him & chump to weaken their stance & expose them through hearings - public ones.
But, alas, Congress didn't ask my opinion.
