Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer 2h2 hours ago

Until we know what happened at that two hour meeting in Helsinki, @realDonaldTrump should have no more one-on-one interactions with Putin. In the United States, in Russia, or anywhere else.

1. How could we ever possibly know?

[still_one]

2. Thus, no more one on one meetings

[oberliner]

4. Who can stop it?

5. Oh I get it.

We should just bow down as there is nothing we can do. Nope.

[oberliner]

6. One very important thing we can do: Vote for Democrats

Take back the Senate. Take back the House.

7. we vote in the fall

...let's see what can be done by speaking out.

The notion that republicans can't be moved to act against this president remains should be challenged, again and again.

[oberliner]

8. Exactly

We need to regain control of the legislative branch.

3. It's like Schumer is the parent who wants to ground the idiotic teenager. n/t

9. there certainly is a lot of toddler-like behavior from Trump

Us: "Don't touch that!"

Trump: 'I'm touching it."

10. With the complicit and corrupt GOP Congress and Senate

there isn't much more that he can realistically do. Our Dem reps are trying really hard and I give them credit.

11. and how exactly can he stop this?

putin will be sitting and chatting in the oval office in a few weeks with his cronies pumping trump with propaganda and plan of action.
Honestly, our entire system has been failing us, constitution, congress, wh, courts, intelligence (none of it should even be happening in the first place), media, inadequate cybersecurity, etc. Btw, who is in charge of Equifax breach, russia?

13. And sitting at the resolute desk..just to f#!$ with the Amerian people.

15. well, the Senate did just act today in a non-binding resolution

...but the vote was unanimous.

Every time we can get the republican majority closer to confronting the excesses and abuses of this administration the better the prospects they'll act against him at the end of the SC investigation.

Politics isn't a static enterprise. Standing up to Trump in a unified way, even if it's just a resolution, a sense of the Senate, is at least a step toward providing a check on his behavior in office.

It's a baby step, but it may be significant. Remember, we vote in the fall.

12. He should have no more security briefings. His security clearance should be revoked.

That's what needs to be demanded.

[AlexSFCA]

14. Can a president's clearance be revoked? I doubt

President is not required to have clearance. Trump would have never gained clearance - it’s not easy to get. unless IC disobeys him and stop providing all of the info to him

[Garrett78]

16. I'm sure you're right, but it's the provocative, narrative-controlling rhetoric that I want to hear.

Democrats need to be very blunt in saying the POTUS may be a national security threat.

17. What do we do

Seems like millions marching in the streets demanding that Trump resign is a good option, especially if elections are rigged.
