Trump won’t attack Putin

Blaming Obama for Russian interference in 2016 is like blaming a bank for being robbed instead of the robber.

Donald Trump has attacked:

Amazon
NFL players who kneel
Judges
Robert De Niro
Harley Davidson
Mitch McConnell
The Red Hen
Jeff Sessions
UCLA basketball players
Oprah
Maxine Waters

But nary a negative word about Vladimir Putinhttps://t.co/A4hCw8eHQ6

Shouts to @gelles!!

Trump’s security clearance idea is just a distraction from the Helsinki fiasco

Trump politicizes everything. Now is he again attacking people who criticizes him.

Revoking clearances is also such a dumb self-own. Former officials' clearances largely help those still on the job, providing institutional memory and hard lessons from history. We will be less safe because of it. https://t.co/MQ4SNijfIs

So we are going to start subpoenaing people for thought crimes? For disagreeing too strongly with the GOP? Full on Stalinism. https://t.co/9qc3w6Vwpv

Sessions was wrong to say “lock her up”

What’s wrong with these people! Clinton has been through numerous investigations and was never charged with anything. I doubt Trump will be able to say that. Trump needs Clinton as a villain.

Partisan differences in views of the FBI have increased

Thanks to Trump and his lying supporters who have trashed intelligence and law enforcement agencies for political gain.

Tabloid company may have acted as a political supporter of Trump instead of news organization

Not surprising

Prosecutors believe that American Media Inc. acted more as a political supporter than as a news organization as it helped Michael Cohen prevent embarrassing coverage of Trump https://t.co/xtXXQmgRmJ

First men on the moon: July 20, 1969

I remember watching the first moon walk in my parents’ bedroom on their black and white TV. A great film composed primarily of NASA footage is Al Reinert’s For Al Mankind,

It's #NationalMoonDay! History was made 49 years ago #today when the first humans set foot on the Moon during Apollo 11. Watched live on television by a worldwide audience, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin went where no one had gone before. #NASA60th pic.twitter.com/ZBqQoABsFs
