President Trump signed an executive order Friday night exempting Russia from a sweeping sanctions package passed by Congress last month, prompting bipartisan criticism from lawmakers and former officials who accuse him of siding with Moscow over Ukraine.
Friday night, hours before the rulebook kicks in, and the ref glides over to wave off the penalty. In my town that’s a bar fight nobody wants to break up. Bipartisan outrage, then everybody orders another round. Funny part: we still pretend there’s a rulebook at all. Waiver wire works both ways, folks. Moscow just got claimed first.
