Having been quite for almost 24 hours following his tweetstorm yesterday, President Trump is once again active on his Twitter account.

First, seemingly making a jab at the special counsel’s Russia investigation - following Chuck Schumer's admission that Democrats didn't lose because of the Russians - Trump scoffed at the "phony Russian Witch Hunt"...

As the phony Russian Witch Hunt continues, two groups are laughing at this excuse for a lost election taking hold, Democrats and Russians!

A Ifop poll released on Sunday showed that the approval rating of France's new President Emmanuel Macron tumbled by 10 points, hitting 54% in his third month in office, as voters were "either confused by plans for the tax system, shocked by a dispute with the head of the army or unsettled by upcoming labor laws reform", according to Journal dy Dimanche.

In a somewhat shockingly frank interview with The Washington Post, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says that Democrats, not Russia, are to blame for Hillary Clinton’s loss to President Trump.

"When you lose to somebody who has 40 percent popularity, you don’t blame other things - [James] Comey, Russia - you blame yourself."

 

"So what did we do wrong? People didn’t know what we stood for, just that we were against Trump. And still believe that."

Conflicts are inevitable when a city wide government is also beholden to a larger state. In the United States, it is even worse. Local, state, and federal governments claim control of the same land–not to mention individual land owners.

Late on Friday, Congressional negotiators reached a deal to advance a bill that would punish Russia for its interference in the 2016 election and restrict the president’s power to remove sanctions on Moscow, according to the WSJ. The measure, if signed into law, will also give Congress veto powers to block any easing of Russian sanctions by the president.
