Its a good thing #DonaldTrump decided not to enforce the overwhelmingly bipartisan approved sanctions against Russia as a result of their meddling in our elections. The Trump way let's them know there are no repercussions against messing with our democracy.

In #TrumpNation supporting the President shows support for Putin.

After ten days it turns into an automatic veto, and returns to Congress. They have the numbers to overturn the veto. This does not make his delay any less reprehensible.

Karl Hansen the bill was passed last year and signed into law by #DonaldTrump. The sanctions were supposed to go active at the end of last month if I remember correctly. What "veto" are you referring to? It's way past that point.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
