From today: > [@](#): > > **Tweets the Tangerine Menace:** > Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded… What the ever-loving fuck. Options [ol] [li]He’s an idiot[/li][li]He thinks everyone else is an idiot[/li][li]Both are true[/li][/ol] I don’t know whether to keep reading the news and his tweets so I can see this crap unfolding, or step away and pretend it’s not happening. “Here, Russia, have access to our cyber security systems so we can collaborate more effectively.” I know it sounds like they’re into everything already, but on the off chance they’ve missed anything our president wants to help out. I’ve got to find a better class of swear words for occasions like this. ---

He did say “guarded”, not “prevented”. It means that only those putin deems worthy of meddling in elections will be able to. ---

“Election hacking[…] will be guarded?” Doesn’t that sound like, rather than preventing hacking, he wants to ensure that it can still be done? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk ---

Even other Republicans have taken to the Sunday news shows this morning to say Trump is an idiot for this. ---

Some pretty good responses to Trump’s frankly insane tweet: [www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/07/09/trump-suggested-a-cybersecurity-pact-with-russia-lawmakers-say-they-were-dumbfounded/?utm\_term=.d6d97576e6b7](http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/07/09/trump-suggested-a-cybersecurity-pact-with-russia-lawmakers-say-they-were-dumbfounded/?utm_term=.d6d97576e6b7) Lindsey Graham: "[It’s] not the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard, but it’s pretty close… [Trump] is “literally the only person I know of who doesn’t believe Russia attacked our election in 2016… [He’s] hurting his presidency by not embracing the fact that Putin is the bad guy.” Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. I’ve long since run out of ways to describe Trump’s presidency. Just, Jesus. ☹ ---

I mean, to say that a president is behaving in a way that undermines the security of us all? Such a heart of gold to speak truth to power and he’ll never again vote for a Trump-approved bill in the Senate, right? Or get in the way of congressional investigations, right? If Kennedy retires tomorrow, he’ll filibuster until all such scandalous behavior is flushed out and he can be sure the replacement nominee isn’t put on the bench with a cloud over his ('cause it’ll be a he, no doubt) head. He’ll stand with the protesters, protect Mueller at all personal costs… right? He’s not possibly just trying to get good press by bashing Trump while at the same time not actually DOING anything that would make the MAGAers come after him, right? That would be unseemly! Fetch my smelling salts. ---
