i'm actually banks and you're watching our team america we began today with president trump signing a bill to impose new sanctions on iran north korea and russia and effectively limiting his options on overturning future sanctions that alone led many to believe trump would not sign the legislation but judging by his own reaction he seemed to have no choice and even despite that many active and former politicians have already said this could be a big mistake and terms of finding the rift between the white house and capitol hill are to select a report. president signed the countering america's adversaries through sanctions act congress has encroached on the power of the presidency and he signs it in the interest of national unity even the language in this statement by the white house spokesperson suggested that trump signed off on the new sanctions bill against iran north korea and russia which also limited his own powers when it comes to sanctions against his will and the big question now is who actually benefits from the new

legislation and deep state the neo cons and the media are very very powerful and they can put a lot of pressure on a president so they have ganged up on him it is a terrible bill. it benefits the people of no country not the united states not germany not all three or italy not russia not syria not not any of the people i do believe that these sanctions are out of keeping with the traditions of the united states and how our government functions it is easy to see trump basically had no choice but to sign off on the build especially if you look at how the legislation was voted for on the hill overwhelming yes in both the house and the senate and the president's reaction was quite telling while i favor tough measures to punish and did so aggressive and to stimulating behavior by iran north korea and russia this legislation significantly flawed its haste to pass the

a race baiting zina phobic religious bigot and a ludicrous pretend for his hate campaign this president does not care about the united states of america a constitutional crisis looming may be well might be too early to tell but clearly the toxicity and ties between the white house and the capitol hill does little for making america great again. reporting from washington d.c. the taliban suicide bomber killed two u.s. service members in kandahar afghanistan wednesday according to nato and the pentagon the two u.s. soldiers were traveling in a nato convoy and when the attacker set off of the last killing them officials would not provide information about how many of the blast injured this attack brings the u.s. death toll to nine in afghanistan for twenty seven tina there are currently eight thousand four hundred u.s. troops in afghanistan with a nato troop contingent of thirteen thousand five hundred president trump said he

whether or not you think he did a good job you have to admit john spicer had a really tough job at a really tough time in history defending a president to a media that had gone absolutely rabbit so now that he's no longer the white house press secretary spicer is moving on to other things but according to c.n.n. no one should hire him at all ever that's how rabid it they've gotten recently l.a. times columnist jackie comes went on c.n.n. to have one of those genius partisan panel discussion and they were talking about on space there counts noted that c.n.n.
4:26 pm
had already said that it's not interested in hiring splicer and then she went on to suggest that other networks should do this say in other words the c.n.n. panelist suggested on national t.v. that the old white house press secretary should be blackballed by news organizations completely she said washington is the kind of place where we all criticize it for no matter what someone does no matter how little credibility they have they're going to find a big job they're going to make even more money than they were and you know maybe it's time for someone to be an example of the opposite. in other words the l a times writer admitted that when our politicians are press secretaries or whatever get done sucking at their jobs they usually go on to even better higher paid jobs even though they sucked so bad in d.c. and that things now is the time to stop doing that and that no one should hire sean spicer now of course the media didn't like spacers and they hated the new president out of the gate and spicer's job was to defend him so naturally the press would
4:27 pm
hate spacer too but suggesting that the men never work in his. heald again is pretty extreme i mean i'm not saying politicians or other washington should go on to get more money or fabulous jobs after sucking so badly i'm just of course the media ignores this phenomenon when it happens to politicians they like but god forbid it happen to sean spicer who they hate the passion it wasn't like spicer was the first problematic press secretary either according to rich noyes from the media research center lots of press secretaries were forced to lie or equivocate for their boss of late when bill clinton was president so it's not like spicer did anything worse than any other poor schmuck who had to lie for their presidential boss the only thing new here is that it's sean spicer and president trump the really old thing here then is that it is just another case of the media flaunting their liberal bias.
4:28 pm
