Sally Yates 2nd Ever Tweet Just Broke The Internet

[elleng]

BY BRIAN TYLER COHEN

'Following a disastrous G20 summit, the former Deputy Attorney General of the United States, Sally Yates, issued a scathing rebuke of Trump’s “refusal to confirm Russian election interference” on Twitter.'

"POTUS' inexplicable refusal to confirm Russian election interference insults career intel pros & hinders our ability to prevent in future."

'Yates referred to the fact that Trump seems more than willing to believe Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claims that he “did not meddle in our election” over our own intelligence agencies, including the CIA, the NSA, the FBI, and the Director of National Intelligence. All of these agencies had “high confidence” that Russian spies interfered in our election on the orders of Putin.'>>>

1. It's not just Trump, either

It seems that 95% of the people who voted for him still swallow the same line (along with hook and sinker).

2. Right.

25. Excellent article.

His supporters need Cult Deprogramming interventions.

And honest journalism needs to find a way to end Fux Spews and the rest of reich wing media.

They're ALL complicit in the travesty of leadership that's playing out before our eyes!

18. Not just that.....

.... these tr-dump fascist clowns also swallowed the deep sea salt water fishing rod.

They would even swallow the boat anchor and Evinrude 3000hp engine while it was running - if tr-dump told them to.

Mega meat heads - no brains.

3. That's a lot of hype for something that doesn't say anything of particular depth...

4. apparently the internet is quite fragile. fortunately, it is also quite resilient.

'Just as Yates stood up for justice then, she is continuing to speak the truth now. Trump’s absurd insistence on taking Putin at his word – his “vehement denial” – is not only a stunning rebuke to our intelligence community but sends a clear message to Putin and the Russians that the United States will not punish foreign interference in our elections. While Trump doesn’t seem to mind this blatant and unprecedented attack on our democracy, Sally Yates is more than willing to speak out.'

to much.

I don't twit so I am not understanding

[elleng]

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. As I understand it, it's a hyperbolic description of something

that stirred up an unusual amount of internet traffic. The Internet is tough, though.

[demtenjeep]

27. thank you

I didn't understand but your description made it clearer.
