It is Sunday, and Trump is in Mar-a-Lago. Twitter time!
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/sta ... 8449941505If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the U.S. then, with all of the Committee Hearings, Investigations and Party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. They are laughing their asses off in Moscow. Get smart America!
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/sta ... 8191168512Now that Adam Schiff is starting to blame President Obama for Russian meddling in the election, he is probably doing so as yet another excuse that the Democrats, lead by their fearless leader, Crooked Hillary Clinton, lost the 2016 election. But wasn’t I a great candidate?
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/sta ... 6204003328I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said “it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer.” The Russian “hoax” was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia - it never did!
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/sta ... 0471810049Finally, Liddle’ Adam Schiff, the leakin’ monster of no control, is now blaming the Obama Administration for Russian meddling in the 2016 Election. He is finally right about something. Obama was President, knew of the threat, and did nothing. Thank you Adam!
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/sta ... 3142719489Never gotten over the fact that Obama was able to send $1.7 Billion Dollars in CASH to Iran and nobody in Congress, the FBI or Justice called for an investigation!
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/sta ... 6829871104General McMaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the Russians and that the only Collusion was between Russia and Crooked H, the DNC and the Dems. Remember the Dirty Dossier, Uranium, Speeches, Emails and the Podesta Company!
Okay, I'm cheating - that last one is from Saturday.
He also found time on Sunday to retweet a political cartoon about CNN, because of course he did.
(paywalled)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the ... ca197b1a89Branco is a conservative cartoonist who told me during the 2016 campaign that “political cartoons are supposed to rile people up.” His website is ComicallyIncorrect.com, a jab at political correctness.
In August 2016, Trump campaign surrogate Mark Burns, a pastor, apologized after tweeting a Branco cartoon that depicted Clinton in blackface and saying, “I ain't no ways tired of pandering to African Americans.”
The episode prompted the Trump campaign to enforce stricter rules for surrogates, in an effort to avoid similar embarrassments.
Trump ain't no surrogate!
When Trump goes-off like this - and this is just the Sunday follow-on to his Saturday activity - it's hard to keep-up. His primary theme seems to be, "Okay, fine, Russians did stuff during the election, but I still won, because I was the greatest candidate!"
To which I kinda figure; yes, Donald, you did win, and nobody is trying to roll that back, for the millionth time. Now that you have, in your own strange way, accepted this, do you have a plan for the future (you know, that abstract thingy that hasn't happened yet)? Mid-terms, 2020? Anything? Bueller? Donald... Donald... DONALD! Put the remote down, and maybe start by having someone read this article to you:

One of the rules of policy making is to remember what you set out to achieve. Section 241 was intended to put pressure on the Kremlin power structure via the threat of future sanctions. The idea was to convey a message, in language Russian elites understand, that there are consequences, including for them personally, that result from being too close to Putin and thereby enabling his state-driven aggression.
[...]
Beyond being the right thing to do, this action would give the Trump administration an opportunity to go further than the Obama administration, whose response to the election hacking was admittedly insufficient (full disclosure: we worked on them); take credit for doing so; and provide a real deterrent to Putin.
Donald... Donald... DONALD! Did you catch that last part? You can do something to correct, to actually fix, something which Obama, arguably, kinda, got wrong, in retrospect. Think it over. Imagine the accolades. Imagine how they'll say, "Wow, Donald is giving it to them Ruskies right where it hurts, he can't possibly be, for whatever reason, strangely fixated on denying the Russians tried, very, very hard, to affect the election, because look, he's kicking them right in the rubles!"
I'll go ahead and start holding my breath now.
EDIT: Wrote 'breathe' we I meant 'breath'.
A quantum state of signature may or may not be here... you just ruined it.
