The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

This is blatantly unconstitutional and an Antideficiency Act violation. Congress set the ADA penalty in 1906: 2 years in jail and/or a $5,000 fine. It would’ve taken the typical person 31,250 hours of work to pay the fine then, meaning it’s the equivalent of a $1.2 million fine today.
