What is going on with the Heritage Foundation today? From Twitter

Things to remember before @realDonaldTrump travels to Europe:

-Russia is the aggressor—Ukraine is the victim
-Crimea belongs to Ukraine
-NATO & US troops in Europe serve our national interests
-Europeans must spend more on defense
-Putin's track record shows he can't be trusted

A RW thinktank is telling trump this? " Putin can't be trusted?

I was under the impression that Heritage Fdn was supplying ideas to trump.

[dewsgirl]

1. I believe some of his cabinet picks came from them, as well.

[Vinca]

2. Maybe they're trying to supply him with ideas, but Vlad doesn't have a pee tape on them.

Don is going to genuflect and slobber all over the Russians.

[fierywoman]

3. Tectonic plates within the conservatives are moving apart. Boom! (Do they know to stand

in doorways for the duration?)

[Blue_true]

28. About time.

When socalled conservative republicans laid side by side with the rotten smelling Frankenstein experiment of racism, mysogony, LGBTQ hatred, only one outcome was possible if they lay there long enough (and they did), the monster would come alive and consume them.

[JHan]

4. hahahahahh

Will this admin still manage their twitter account by the end of the day ? lol

[tonyt53]

5. Don't trust that anti-American bunch. Bet they are saying one thing, then winking to trump.

[rufus dog]

26. Exactly, playing the Susan Collins game

Just enough to cover their fat asses.

[irisblue]

6. A total what the hell , shake my head, double check. WTH again.

[Leghorn21]

7. Oh, this IS strange. Really strange. They don't appear to be mentioning the below tidbit, but hey,

considering this is Heritage?! Interesting indeed.

JULY THIRD 2018:

The Senate Intelligence Committee strongly backed the finding by U.S. intelligence agencies that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a campaign to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, ultimately intending to help Donald Trump win.

“The committee concurs with intelligence and open-source assessments that this influence campaign was approved by President Putin,” the panel said Tuesday in a report that endorsed as “sound” the intelligence findings issued in January 2017. The committee said there was a body of intelligence “to support the assessment that Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for Trump.”

15. This This This This - corporate media is ignoring this for the most part

dereliction of media responsibility.

unforgiveable

[Frustratedlady]

8. Someone hack their account? That's a Koch group.

Something isn't right.

[Clarity2]

20. Yes

and Freedom Foundation, also a Koch group, is pushing Jim Jordon as Speaker of the House...Jordon who is trying to shut down Rosenstein/Mueller. So they are playing some kind of game.

9. Anit-tariff and pro-NATO posts from HF twitter feed:

Tariffs are taxes
-Taxes are bad
-Tariffs have a history of being unsuccessful
-Tariffs are widely regarded for having turned what could have been a mild recession into the Great Depression

Stop with the tariffs.


NATO is a political military alliance; financial commitments reflect their political will which may be even more important how many troops they can put on the ground. NATO is vital to the peace and security of the transatlantic community.


Again, I say,

[irisblue]

10. I went & looked at later tweets. If it's a hack, it's magnificently done.

[world wide wally]

11. They are appearing to be patriotic for appearances sake

[Midnight Writer]

12. Screw'em. They have been promoting right wing lunacy for decades, and now they have their wish.

Like a guy who beats his wife, and then cries after he's killed her.

[GulfCoast66]

13. They are scared to death...

There is one place most Americans and even most republicans will not go...pulling out of NATO. That would split the party beyond repair.

They are afraid that is exactly where Trump is heading. His 👄 breathing rubes would follow. But it may well cost them the Senate as well as the House.

[many a good man]

14. -Too many words

-Not enough pictures
-No mention of dear leader

[gratuitous]

16. DO NOT CONGRATULATE

Yeah, good luck with that helpful advice, you ghouls.

[KelleyKramer]

17. Heritage is pretty much a Koch brothers operation

Yes it's interesting, but I wouldn't read too much into it

Watch their actions not their words

[irisblue]

19. Hmm?

Koch brothers + Russian Oligarchs drilling in & transporting through the warm water deep Black Sea port of Sevastopol in an area with great gas& oil potential.

No proof on my part at all, just a thought

[KelleyKramer]

21. the Kochs father certainly was familiar with Russian oil

And it was no accident the ceo of Exxon was the first choice for secretary of state

[irisblue]

22. You're right.

[Hortensis]

18. They chose Trump over any Democrat, but otherwise

he's a Frankenstein monster they're trying to keep in harness. He's supposed to be good for business profits, not bad.

[Tarheel_Dem]

23. With the crazies in the DT WH, Heritage is considered "the establishment", if you can believe that.

[mwooldri]

24. The Heritage Foundation... provided blueprint for Obamacare.

Of course it was RomneyCare in MA before it was Obamacare in the USA.

Some good things do come out of right wing think tanks.

I'm not saying it is all good.

But sometimes sane conservatives have good ideas.

But Trump isn't a Conservative, he's a Trumpian.

In this one tweet I mostly agree with. Except the spending on defence. Europe spends enough. I'd rather the extra money go to social programmes.

[James48]

25. It is NOT a message to Trump!

Trump can’t read.


It has to be a good guy hacked Heritage Foundation’s account!

[Iliyah]

27. Well shit, t-rump, his administration and the GOP alongwith

their sugar daddies and mommies can't ne trusted neither. Great fucked up alliance.

[nycbos]

29. A phrase about broken clocks comes to mind.

[kimbutgar]

30. This has got to be a fake tweet from the hertigate foundation like the one the did with

Dean on Sirius progressive
