President Trump is firing pointed criticism at the GOP Congress, ripping lawmakers for sending him a Russian sanctions bill he hates while failing to negotiate an ObamaCare repeal bill.
While tensions between the president and GOP lawmakers have been simmering for months, the latest exchanges suggest a turn in the relationship.
Trump lamented Thursday that the U.S.-Russia relationship is “at an all-time and very dangerous low.”
“You can thank Congress, the same people that can’t even give us [health care]!” he tweeted.
It was the second day in a row that Trump ripped the Congress on both issues, and GOP lawmakers were happy to return fire.

The GOP is more concerned about non-existent Russian meddling than fixing our broken health care system.
Its all about priorities.
Where is PRyno’s list of “Accomplishments”?
Go Donald. Show them what accountability is all about. We have your back. MAGA
Pardon President Trump for not being a battered housewife and fighting back!
With friends like these who needs enemies
It is a disgrace that REPUBLICAN MAJORITY joined Democrats in banning the President from making recess appointments while they go on vacation, after refusing to confirm dozens of his appointments. Be sure to demand an answer to these questions from your GOP congressman when he has a town hall: Why are you working with the Democrats against our President? Why should you be reelected if you are not supporting a Republican President?
GOP congress turned on Trump first.
One might think that Trump would feel some responsibility for the outcome -- being the (self-proclaimed) great dealmaker, the guy who was going to whip Congress into action and make it look easy -- but put that aside.
Three Republican Senators let down the side. 49 voted to move forward to at least get something moving (with final prospects extremely doubtful unless the caucus is ready to abolish the filibuster). Trump should not be alienating any more of the 49; he should be looking for ways to flip one or more of the three. Susan Collins was at least consistent. She is a northeastern liberal Republican, one of the last specimens of a dying breed, and she did what most of us expected her to do all along. The other two ...?
I don't know what McCain's thinking was. McConnell clearly thought he had McCain's vote, and then McCain broke at the last minute. My ungenerous supposition is that his decision was petty, personal, and spiteful -- but if so, that is simply Trump's own shabby and embarrassing comments about McCain during the campaign coming back to haunt him. Words and actions have consequences.
That treasonous beyotch, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska,led this effort.
Bravo!
I do. Revenge. McCain hates Trump and will do whatever he can to get even for the "I like people who were not captured" comment last summer. Even if the country suffers because of it.
You that never done nothing
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it’s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And then you hide from my eye
Then you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Just another frontal lobe decision. That’s all.
The time is now here to start a new party obviously headed by the POTUS.
Bring whatever loyal GOP/DEM/IND folks into it and start kicking some azz out of Congress.
The UniParty has been in control far too long. Time to bring the fight to them!!!
Trump should just endorse a slate of candidates to primary the RINOs and take over the GOP for good.
So which of the thirteen GOP dwarfs would have accomplished more than Trump has accomplished against all odds?
....Where is PRyno’s list of “Accomplishments....
#1 Trashing the voters who put him in the majority and elected DJT for Change.
#2 Maintaining the status quo.
REMEMBER MISSISSIPPI!
Does anyone know or remember what is meant by that?
