Thomas L. Friedman: "Trump and Putin vs. America"
The NYT just published a great piece by Friedman. Here are four paragraphs, followed by a link to the piece in its entirety.
Trump vacated that oath today, and Republicans can no longer run and hide from that fact. Every single Republican lawmaker will be and should be asked on the election trail: Are you with Trump and Putin or are you with the C.I.A., F.B.I. and N.S.A.?
It started with the shocking tweet that Trump issued before he even sat down with Putin this morning: Our relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt! The official Twitter account of the Russian foreign ministry recognizing a useful idiot when it saw one immediately liked Trumps tweet and later added: We agree.
Ill bet they do.

(51,640 posts)and was motivated to write to the TRAITOR. I asked him if he knows what the punishments for treason is and he had better find out fast if he doesn't already know. I didn't write that one punishment is death since I don't feel like having the SS knock on my door.
