It appears Trump and Putin discussed forming a joint cyber security unit at their private G-20 meeting. Problem solved boys. No more need to worry about election meddling.
If that conversation actually took place, Putin is laughing his ass off.
"Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded and safe," he said following their talks at the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.
...
Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida immediately criticized the move on Twitter, saying Putin was not a trusted partner.
Partnering with Putin on a "Cyber Security Unit" is akin to partnering with (Syrian President Bashar al) Assad on a "Chemical Weapons Unit," he wrote.
You aren't doing it wrong if no one knows what you are doing.
For every reaction (Trump Campaign - Russia Collusion), there's a counter-reaction. It appears Trump's fan-base has taken up the "Podesta-Russia" connection as their cause.

That's quite the Triumph of the Will he's got there.
I was thinking corrupt Roman emperor, but you nailed it.
In 2017 we have the rallies, and we get the bonus of Holy Roller responses to their Führer.
In September 1934, American journalist William L. Shirer had just arrived in Germany to work as a reporter for the Hearst Company. He proceeded to keep a diary of the entire seven years he spent reporting from inside Hitler's Reich.
Shirer thought it would be a good idea to attend the 1934 Nuremberg Rally to better understand the Nazi phenomenon. On his very first evening in the old city, he found himself accidentally stuck among a throng of ten thousand people in front of Hitler's hotel, shouting: "We want our Führer!"
"I was a little shocked at the faces," Shirer wrote in his diary, "when Hitler finally appeared on the balcony for a moment. They reminded me of the crazed expressions I once saw in the back country of Louisiana on the faces of some Holy Rollers...they looked up at him as if he were a Messiah, their faces transformed into something positively inhuman."

Poor widdle butthurt snowflake President* Trump got his feewings hurt by some tweets, so he takes a crap on the Constitution in infantile retaliation.
He still doesn't understand (of course I could stop there for almost anything) the difference in personal and official speech, and has defined them as both the same for himself. So he can no more deny access to his tweets than he could to any other public document.

Nor can he block being tweeted at any more than he could arbitrarily exclude some from public hearings or put a selective stop on particular mail at the post office. If he's being abused, the pansy can file a TOS complaint with Twitter just like anyone else can.

Y'all seen this? This is so perfectly staged to thrill the evangelicals, and to stimulate the gag reflex in others of us.

'Bout time it was the other way around. Is that a **meow** on his head?
