Congress voted 517-5 to impose sanctions on Russia. The President decides to ignore that law. Folks that is a constitutional crisis. There should be outrage in every corner of this country.

Where is the outrage? If it were Obama or Hillary, Republicans would be shouting endlessly from rooftops. Running through the streets with pitchforks. But because it’s “Trump being Trump”, Republicans are OK with that. #GOPComplicit
Putin knows there are NO consequences and does what he pleases. Some notable things Russia has done while Trump’s been in office: Russian hackers have successfully penetrated electrical companies, state election systems, supported North Korea and Syria, used a chemical weapon to kill an ex-spy who became an informant...unleashed malware...
When Russia disagreed with U.S. intelligence agencies, Trump believed Vladimir Putin.
When Russia moved against U.S. diplomats, Trump thanked Vladimir Putin.
And when Congress approved sanctions against Russia, Trump blamed Congress and sided with Vladimir Putin.
Strike 2: Notified Russia BEFORE airstrikes - TWICE
Airstrike #1 - Apr 2017
U.S. military said it communicated with the Russian military to minimize any chance of Russian casualties -- in particular Russians operating out of the targeted airfield. ABC News
Airstrikes #2 - Apr 2018
Casualties - ZERO
“The only communications that took place specifically associated with this operation before the targets were struck was the normal deconfliction of the airspace, the procedures that are in place for all of our operations in Syria,”, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford

Nixon resigned from office because the Senate Watergate Committee — its Democratic and Republican members — did its job. It’s easy now to think of Watergate as a single event. It wasn’t; it was a story that unfolded over 26 months and demanded many acts of bravery and honesty by Americans across the political spectrum.
