President Donald Trump tweeted Sunday that he discussed forming an "impenetrable cyber security unit" with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit in Germany.

Trump's tweet was the fourth in an extended series in which he discussed the G-20 summit and allegations of Russian hacking. The president called the G-20 "a great success," citing the cease-fire in Syria. Trump also said Putin had "vehemently denied" interfering in the 2016 election, a claim that was received dubiously by many quarters in the United States.

He also used two tweets to slam the Democratic National Committee and the sixth tweet to take a dig at the mainstream media.

Sen. Marco Rubio tweeted a response that suggested he thought teaming with Putin on cybersecurity was akin to letting the fox guard the hen house. “Partnering with Putin on a "Cyber Security Unit" is akin to partnering with Assad on a "Chemical Weapons Unit," wrote the Florida Republican, referencing Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.

1. His idiocy is truly infinite.

[FakeNoose]

15. The CIA won't stand for this - it will never happen

How did Trump even learn how to spell impenetrable, anyway?

I'm pretty sure his Twitter account has been hacked.

2. Insane, brazen, traitorous.

[mountain grammy]

7. Yep, exactly the words I was looking for.

[Honeycombe8]

3. That's like discussing burglar-proof systems with someone who wants to burgle you. nt

[LisaL]

4. Or hiring a fox to guard a hen house.

[KeepItReal]

5. Who wants to burgle you *again*

... While you're sitting with the burglar on your stolen furniture.

6. Putin has the goods on Trump.

He totally owns him and therefore Trump will do or say anything he has to do to prevent Putin from revealing what he's got.

This totally and completely explains ALL of Trump's stated beliefs and behaviours towards Putin and Russia.

Wake up America (or at least Red America), Trump is - by default - Putin's bitch and thereby a Russian agent.

Anyone who believes otherwise is either a fool or a treacherous fool.

8. The gop leadership

knows how compromised tRump is, but the money keeps flowing, so they are O.K. with him.

12. Rubio slams Trumps talk of forming Cyber Security Unit with Russia

---snip---
In a series of tweets, the Florida senator said Putin can never be a "trusted ally."

"While reality & pragmatism requires that we engage Vladimir Putin, he will never be a trusted ally or a reliable constructive partner," Rubio tweeted.

"Partnering with Putin on a 'Cyber Security Unit' is akin to partnering with Assad on a 'Chemical Weapons Unit.' We have no quarrel with Russia or the Russian people. Problem is with Putin & his oppression, war crimes & interference in our elections."

He's right on this one.

[Dustlawyer]

14. So what if Rubio is right on this one.

He stated many times why Trump would be a disaster and how he was totally unqualified to be President, and the the little shite voted for him! He says this now but would vote on working with Russia on cyber security if it ever comes up.

[GeorgeGist]

9. ...

[keithbvadu2]

10. Absolutely! Let them into our cybersecurity operations.

Oh, Yes! Yes! Let them into our cybersecurity operations.

(sarcasm thingie goes here)

Today's republican meme: Russia is our friend.

[yuiyoshida]

11. Finally a chance to give away all States Secrets...

[SHRED]

13. Even this won't phase Republicans

What's it gonna take?
