The fact that .. Putin and I discussed a Cyber Security unit doesn't mean I think it can happen.

LOL The cybersecurity thing was so idiotic.

The ceasefire deal is just BS to try to get everyone to think we should warm up to Russia.

For those that missed the previous tweets today:

Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 13h13 hours ago
Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded..

...and safe. Questions were asked about why the CIA & FBI had to ask the DNC 13 times for their SERVER, and were rejected, still don't....

...have it. Fake News said 17 intel agencies when actually 4 (had to apologize). Why did Obama do NOTHING when he had info before election?

This guy is as dumb as a box of hammers.

Even Lindsey Graham said ""It's not the dumbest idea I have ever heard but it's pretty close,"

"Ash Carter, who was U.S. defense secretary until the end of former Democratic President Barack Obama's administration in January, told CNN flatly:
"This is like the guy who robbed your house proposing a working group on burglary.""

Relatively speaking, I mean. You know, like the one who commented that this is like asking the guy who robbed your house to start a Neighborhood Watch program with you?

I'd be laughing if I weren't 1) American and 2) poor (add to that 3) female and 4) gay...).

HAHAHA! What a dumbass. What possibly could have gone wrong with this boneheaded idea?

BTW - His Sec of Treasury said this task force was brilliant.

A simple, funny and smart observation I heard yesterday was. Trump asks Putin did you mess with our elections and Putin says:

No I didn't = Lose for Trump because all the experts agree Putin meddled

Yes I did, you won because of me = What does Trump do, he's backed himself into a corner on it.

*I know the tidally unrealistic thing to do in the yes option would be to ask VP Pence to resign, appoint a new VP Clinton, then resign himself but that is outside the bounds of reality

Preet Bharara's tweet on the subject:

"When pursuing a corrupt politician, mobster or murderer on strong FBI evidence, if he "vehemently denied it," we just dropped it usually."

Graham really doesn't like Trump so I'm not surprised he called him out.
