DC: News that President Donald Trump was easing sanctions against Russia was refuted almost immediately, like so many other stories.
The Department of the Treasury said Thursday that it would allow U.S. companies to make limited transactions with the Federal Security Service (FSB), Russia’s intelligence agency. Possibly eager to establish a connection between the new U.S. president and Russia, numerous media outlets and journalists were quick to claim that Trump was easing, and even lifting, sanctions against Russia.
“I haven’t eased anything,” Trump told reporters at the White House Thursday.
“We’re not easing sanctions,” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer confirmed, saying that, “It is a regular course of action.”
As it turns out, the move was a “technical fix” planned by the Obama administration.
If not for jumping to conclusions and knee jerk reaction, the media wouldn’t get any exercise.
MSM, the largest ignored institution world wide.
Wonder how it feels to preside over your own funeral?
If President Trump wants to have some fun with the media, he’d send hundreds of ‘Humpty Dumpty’ poems to the FSB. Heads would explode.

Liberals, doing what they do best, stepping on their d**ks.
@sig94 – I just had a very disturbing mental image flash through my mind when I combined “putting your foot in your mouth” and your “stepping on their d**ks” remark.
The media is fighting fake news with……..fake news.
Next up: “Our fake news is the most authentically fake!”
“Here at CNN, we expose the fake news of the Trump administration like nobody else can. Because nobody knows fake news like CNN.”
Sorry Al. Now that you mentioned it, I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Dear Left,
You got this bro.
Nobody is on to you.
Go for it.
