| Obama signs legislation ending benefits for Nazis [Ynet] President Barack Obama Republicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back... has signed into law a measure that bars suspected Nazi war criminals from collecting US government pension benefits. The president's action Thursday caps a swift and forceful response to an News Agency that Dare Not be Named investigation that revealed dozens of former Nazis received millions of dollars in retirement checks. Obama signs Russia sanctions bill President Barack Obama I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... said on Thursday he had signed into law a new Russian sanctions bill passed by Congress but did not intend to impose further sanctions against Moscow for now. "My administration will continue to work closely with allies and partners in Europe and internationally to respond to developments in Ukraine and will continue to review and calibrate our sanctions to respond to Russia's actions," Obama said in a statement. |

| #6 He 'signed' legislation? I thought we had reached the point where he pasted cut out letters from the WaPo on a piece of paper and left it on his secretary's desk. ("I don't know who gave those instructions...") |

| #5 Jimmy Hoffa has yet to be found, but the American experiment with run-away Affirmative Action and Ivey League entitlement credentialing has nearly run it's ignoble course. Due to extremely low viewership and piss-poor ratings, the series will not be continued into the 2017 season. |

| #4 This type of restriction of payments to Nazis only paves the wave to stop payments to tobacco users and climate change deniers. |

| #2 The Bammer once again scores heavy PC political points - no benefits for Nazis, + no Jane Psaki being thrown under the Bus despite Admin wafflings over Russia sanctions. |

| #1 I would hope that most Nazi war criminals have taken a cattle car into the long good night quite a few years ago. This legislation must impact about two guys who will now have to fund their own Jaegermeister shots before evening nap time. What the hell is the point? If this was important, we would include Japanese war criminals and anyone who participated in the Armenian genocide ... Oh, that's right. Only the stuff that fits the narative. Today we bash dead Nazis; tomorrow we denounce Israel again. |
