Maybe this is a turning point? (How many times have I wondered that?!!) I'm actually surprised at the level of outrage across the spectrum on this. What I'm trying to understand is how do Kelly/Bolton etc let Trump go out and say that shit in front of the world when standing beside Putin?

I gotta say, them Brits showed you Unitedstateseans a lesson in protesting — of course they just had to keep it for a couple of days while you gotta press on for who knows how long, but still, they did get under the fucker's revolting skin. Now it's time for you to assume the mantle and BURN BABY BURN! ...Yeah, so enjoy the following postcards from Old Blighty, if you haven't seen 'em already. (Personal favorite: the one about England's lost semifinal at the World Cup).

Fascinating.
This egg actually seems to be sticking to the wall. Perhaps? Maybe? In American History books to come, July 16th 2018 will figure prominently, surely? I'm still trying to figure out just how the fuck this could happen. Trump is very accustomed to tweeting bullshit, with not a care in the world that it is proveably false. But when you stand beside Putin, in front of the world, and say that kind of shit, well......the optics/platform is very different, right? Did he really think there would be no fallout? I think he is that deluded!!

PS: England made me proud last week.
I'd like to think that my country, Canada, is a long way from succumbing to this kind of politics/reality, but I worry. Storm couds are gathering.

At the end of the day (literally!) I just feel that Trump will never have the mental capacity to grasp wtf is going on in the world. You can hate Hillary Clinton as much as you desire, but she was FUCKING RIGHT about Trump's "qualifications/preparations" for this monumental task: He just fucking doesn't get it!! He is not cognisant of world history or global developments. He really does think that Putin is a wonderful guy!!
This whole fucking thing is surreal!! A POTUS publicly siding with Putin over his own Int Orgs. Mind boggling. I'm 56 years old, and this represents a Strange New World to me. (I put tesla on ignore. Part of me wonders how he explains all this. Is he posting defenses like a crazy man?)

Here is what legendary journalist Dan Rather had to say:
There has been no shortage of historic summits in American history - but nothing like what is happening today. No American president has ever appeared as a supplicant to a foreign power who attacked us - an attack that the intelligence community says is ongoing. No American president has been so eager to placate a hostile foreign power. And no American president has been under a credible shadow of allegedly conspiring with a hostile foreign power. No American president has so attacked our allies and heaped scorn on his fellow citizens while heaping praise on a hostile foreign power. No American president has been so ill-prepared for diplomacy and statecraft and then insisted on handling negotiations with a hostile foreign power alone. We do not know what was discussed. We will not be able to trust what President Trump or Putin say was discussed. Their words fail even the most minimum standards of political truth telling. This is a historic summit indeed, but historic in terms of the damage it can (and likely already has done) to our nation and a democratic world order. |

That and/or KOMPROMAT. Hillary really said it best when she told him —TO HIS FUCKING FACE, not via Twatter— that he'd be a puppet president. Or, as the formal term goes, a Controlled Asset.

The Liar In Chief and his team came up with a backtrack today, involving "would" vs "wouldn't".
Are people actually going to buy that?

Yes, the 35% or whatever the fuck it is already bought it (if they cared at all in the first place), Republicans will now say, ah well, he finally admitted there was some kinda meddling, we're A-OK, news cycle over, let's give the 0.01% another tax cut, boom.

Fuckin, The Mueller Report will cause a civil fucking war, I swear.
A thought I had today: Research why Nixon resigned, and why Clinton endured the Impeachment Process. Then, compare what they did to what Trump has done. What. The. Fuck. Is all I can say right now.

I believe that regardless of what side you're on, the media is never going to give you the real deal about the pulse of society. Almost everyone I talk to in red-as-fuck Oklahoma absolutely hates the man. I seriously have a hard time finding people who are as insane about Trump as the media would have me believe. I am holding out for the mid-terms, after which I will make the judgement whether or not the Republic is fucked. I guess it's called hope, and I sure as shit hope I'm not deluded.
