“It’s important that Mr. Putin is ready to hear, we hope, strong words coming from Mr. Macron, to say ‘stop’ to that homophobia, which has lasted for too long,” Cecile Coudriou of Amnesty International said.

A banner America once briefly carried now passed out among interested pro human rights Europeans now that Trump’s America is playing golf…

Extra points for Don Adams reference.

I couldn’t believe it. @the_mask Keeps coming up with great photoshopped pictures–I’ll bet you could find actual profiles of Don Adams that looked less like Don Adams than Macron does in the picture above.

Could this is the part of the story where Putin begins a strategic retreat from Trump in the face of a united Europe led by a strong Franco-German alliance?

After staring down Trump…twice …I have a cautiously good feeling about Macron. I think he’ll have an honest dialogue with the man who tried fervently to derail his candidacy.

Wonder how Trump will interpret this photo? …if his enablers even let him see it.

Won’t work. Putin will not end his strategy of dividing any Western nation(s) he can profit from. Our intelligence services and those of our allies have laid it all out for us, and all we have to do is accept their conclusions. He doesn’t deserve a handshake… just one finger.

Putin looks worried about the iron grip handshake to follow.

Essentially Trump is turning Europe over to Russia’s influence, the first time a President has been willing to do so since the 1940s (if ever).

This is not commie-bashing, because the Russians are not now (and the Soviets were pretty much not, too) communists but dictators fighting for as much control of every valuable resource available. The could be governmental power, market influence, money, land, or international influence.

And Trump is handing some of each of these to them.

But, no, Russia didn’t interfere in our election with the hope of getting Trump elected. And, no, no one in the Trump sphere knew about it or communicated with Russia about it.

And if you believe those last two, I have a phallic shaped monument in DC to sell you.
