DAAAAAAMN. @RepAdamSchiff saying "can you imagine Putin's face? '[Trump] believes this?! HIS OWN PEOPLE don't believe this!'" re: Crowdstrike.

I feel sorry for the President's defense team because Dems have just absolutely taken them out at the knees.
@RepAdamSchiff "You gotta give Trump credit, he's made a religious man out of Vladimir Putin."

WHEW.
@RepAdamSchiff FOLKS. If you think I *actually* feel sorry for his defense team, you haven't been reading here very long.
@RepAdamSchiff Like, I'm capable of a lot of empathy, but empathy for people who defend a sociopathic narcissist dictator isn't on my radar.
@RepAdamSchiff SO, just for clarity, what I meant when I said I feel sorry for what Schiff is doing was this:

You know what else it's a good time to do? Find the courage to do the things that scare you that create meaning.

Reach out to that old friend and apologize for whatever crushed that relationship.

Paint, make music, stretch your creativity to create beauty.
Open your home to new friends to organize for change.

Dance through trauma.

Get silly with your kids even when it feels too hard.

Ask out that great human you've got your eye on, and see what happens next.
I woke up this morning with Janis' lyrics in my head: "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."

Let's find the seeds buried deep within us-- that power of new creation-- and take risks, and keep going.

Darkness is fertile.

Take it.

.@MSNBC immediately observes that McConnell has apparently lost control of his caucus.

KEEP. CALLING.
@MSNBC EXACTLY.

@MSNBC Also, let me add:

just because an automated answer tells to press 2 to speak to a staff member only if you are a constituent of, say, Lisa Murkowski, doesn't mean you have to follow that instruction.

FIGHT THE POWER. PRESS 2.

OK, I'll say it: because it implicates the entire senior leadership of the Republican party.

A massive criminal enterprise at the top of American government, bought by Russia with dark money and kompromat.

Not a movie plot. Not a conspiracy theory. Reality.
And PS. some of that kompromat involves Jeffrey Epstein.

We should stop pretending it doesn't. It does.
And just so we understand:

The NRA: dark money route to the GOP.

Butina: compromised the NRA, went home to Russia a star.

McConnell: Russian funded steel plant in KY

Nunes: buddy-buddy with Parnas

Putin has actively sought to destabilize the EU by supporting nationalist, populist parties like the League. In May, the Austrian gov’t fell after a video revealed the leader of Austria’s R wing discussing public contracts in exchange for RU campaign aid. nytimes.com/2019/07/10/wor…
“Funding to an Italian political party by a foreign state is illegal,” said Emanuele Fiano, member of Parliament who called on Mr. Salvini to appear before the Lower House to explain the financial negotiation heard on the tape.

nytimes.com/2019/07/10/wor…
“It’s also dangerous to know that an Italian party has a contract of collaboration with a foreign state,” he added in an interview.

Two former prime ministers from the Democratic Party also called on Wednesday for an official inquiry.

Trump's been roasting Congress since 1993 lol
the first half hehe

Trump has been the same person ever since he's been in public eye, and yet, the American people still elected him...

When will the Democrats learn?
1999 - Roger Stone talked about the decision of Donald Trump to form a presidential exploratory committee. He focused on Trump’s membership in the Reform party, & Trump’s agenda for his campaign.

#Putin now on Channel one gives interview on #HelsinkiSummit, says he agreed with Trump to continue working at the expert level on some of the "new ideas that there are on how to fix conflict in east of #Ukraine."
#Putin after having studied #Trump today: @realDonaldTrump can listen, but keeps his own opinion on many issues" adds many mistakingly call his approach that of businessman but he is acting as a pure politician because he is very much catering to his base, his constituency.
#Putin on #JCPOA:It’s the tool to guarantee nuclear non-proliferation across the region.#Iran one of the most controllable countries by #IAEA.We understnd #Trump’s position,he was saying IRN should stop destructive regional policies. But this[approach]shouldnt lead to nixing deal

#Putin's opening to this press conference suggests the takeover of southern #Syria by Asad/Iran is a model of U.S.-Russia cooperation that should be expanded, and flatters Trump that his summit with Kim [which Putin very much liked the look of] resolved the Korean Peninsula.
On #Ukraine, Putin hints broadly that the U.S. agrees with him that Kyiv's intransigence prevented Minsk's implementation, and then carefully lets it be known Trump brought up the election meddling, an assist to Trump politically, before of course dismissing it.
Trump frames engagement around U.S.-Russian co-operation in WW2, notes that unfortunate Cold War business, then says: "Our relationship has never been worse ... that changed as of about four hours ago." Says he is being politically brave to do what's right. Lambastes media + Dems

#Putin starts with rare words in English to "Donald": Ok, Shall we start? Then says a new era of cooperation is at hand. "There's no reason US-Russia relations should be complicated. On 'so-called' interference, the Russian state has never interfered in US election & never will"
Trump just slammed "obstructive" Democrats and the press in prepared remarks at press conference with Putin at #HelsinkiSummit
Q: This morning you blamed the US. Do you blame Russia for anything?
Trump: Yes, I blame both countries. Mueller probe is ridiculous. There was no collusion. There was nobody to collude w.

So Trump uses false equivalence to let Russia off the hook for attacking his own country😡
