Republicans blast Trump idea for cyber security unit with Russia
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-cyber-idUSKBN19U0P4
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he and Russia's president had discussed forming a cyber security unit, an idea harshly criticized by Republicans who said Moscow could not be trusted after its alleged meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.
Tweeting after his first meeting with President Vladimir Putin on Friday, Trump said now was the time to work constructively with Moscow, pointing to a ceasefire deal in southwest Syria that came into effect on Sunday.
"Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded and safe," he said following their talks at a summit of the Group of 20 nations in Hamburg, Germany.
Republican Senators Lindsey Graham, an influential South Carolina Republican who is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Marco Rubio of Florida, who opposed Trump for their party's presidential nomination, blasted the idea.

Lots of talk, no action. I expect them both to fold like cheap lawn chairs.

Trump is just blatant at this point with his behavior -- I mean seriously? Next we will appoint North Korea to our new "nuclear safety" commission?
Trump's idiots obviously think that Americans are so stupid that this somehow makes it look like Trump got something from Putin when instead he handed Putin the keys to the kingdom.
