And he pinned the tweet. Edit: And then the Russian Embassy in the US retweeted it.

It’s impossible to adjust my expectations low enough for Trump. No matter how hard I try he always exceeds the lowest bar I can imagine.

Under the Donald, the plot in Homefront: Revolution suddenly seems plausible.

Surely there’s a cabal of grizzled Cold War ops who have decided to do something about the traitor president to be? I find it mindboggling that this level of foreign interference isnt an issue for those of a patriotic bent.

What is Trump even going for with this one?

Further polarization. He’s trying to discredit the news outlets that report the truth about him. I would consider it “popular insurance” for when he inevitably fucks up to the point of impeachment. Or when the Russian sex tapes of him with a 14-yr old come out.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The Trump camp’s spin on Russian interference is falling apart (WP)

All of this comes across as exactly what it is: Nothing more than a continued effort to downplay the seriousness of the charges of Russian interference. That’s the posture the Trump camp is stuck in right now, due to the decision from the guy at the top to continue waving away this story as if it doesn’t matter.

But time is not on the Trump camp’s side here. For one thing, note that Trump has now agreed to sit for an intelligence briefing on the evidence of Russian interference, which itself shows he now recognizes the need to pretend to want to be informed of the facts about this matter.

Trump will be in the history books as the one weird president more interested in being friend with a anti-democratic oligarchy than the USA republic.

The strange postures required to support his opinions turns politics in a game of twistter.

I’m pretty sure he’s got an enemies list. That’s what you’re supposed to keep as president, right?

Gawd. It’s bizarre that we elected a guy so transparently passive-aggressive and needy. He’s apparently totally incapable of just rising above it.

Trump to America: Happy Fuck You.

Enemies as in the majority of the country that didn’t vote for him. I still can’t believe this is real. Hopefully he dies in office.

I don’t even care how malicious and stupid Pence’s policies are at this point.

I haven’t since day one.

This is local job creation guys! Think of all the new hires of couriers for the government! It can’t even be outsourced!

Oh, crap… this should have been in the optimism thread.
