Think about what the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee just did today: They told the entire country that the FBI is our enemy. Not Russia. But our very own FBI. That's irresponsible. And disgusting. — Joe Walsh

- 3/ So you can believe that Trump just *forgot* to apply real sanctions as *required* by law, or you can be a rational person and recognize compromise when you see it staring you in the face.45 replies1,067 retweets2,934 likes
- 4/ This is a country that arrested Puton's only opponent yesterday on (ahem) trumped-up charges. This is a country out to screw us internationally at every pass. There's no alliance to be had. No accord to be made.21 replies767 retweets2,544 likes
