Better yet, arrange a dinner for two with Pence, that would take care of that problem should Trump go away.
I keep waiting for an indictment to sink him. He has got to be on Mueller’s list somewhere. Way down, no doubt, since he’s such a meaningless twit. But still.
If we call any agreements treaties, then they must be approved by the Senate.
I sorta suspect Vlad told him to come alone but say it was his idea to be there by himself in the kind of situation normally reserved for criminal conspiracies. Putin pulls off the no cops scenario and gets to claim whatever the hey he wants. Donnie lives to fuck up another day.
Let’s just say she’s a little impatient with this whole “election cycle” business. Ordinarily, I’d urge patience; where Trump and this particular assemblage of Republicans are concerned, though, I share her impatience.

irony
[ahy-ruh-nee, ahy-er-]
noun, plural i·ro·nies.
the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: *the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.

I only mention this because you seem to be completely unfamiliar with the concept.
I was gonna say… our one saving grace in this situation is that nothing that President Trump says has any sort of bearing on reality. A verbal agreement with the Donald actually makes that course of action less likely to come about.

I don’t know what his internals are but the externals at least have him down a few points if I remember correctly.
Or was that Rohrabacher? It’s hard to keep all the treason-meisters separate these days (I’ll take treasonous Republicans for 200 Alex).

I have every confidence that the Russians had multiple cameras recording every word of this conversation and they will be filed right next to the pee-tapes.

it is soothing to think that Trump is in addlebrained village idiot - but in reality his incoherency is erratic and highly dangerous - while being stunned at his ability to be stupid - do not underestimate his intermittent cognitive capabilities - as we want to think - he is a moron - but what ever rudimentary thought processing he has - it has been sputtering along & many far far brighter minds have yet to find a way to neutralize him.
Once heard it said that the most dangerous opponent is not the one with slightly more talent & strength - it is the crazy and unskilled one who is entirely unpredictable .

Excuse me, they are feckless cowards treasonous to America…reason enough for this rabble.
Well–they’re already there. You ever hear of Russian Hill?
That’s basically the same as Trump’s argument that it’s okay that Russia annexed Crimea–that they all speak Russian there anyway.
Because it’s important that obscenely wealthy people have even more money.

But if we just call them agreements, then they don’t.
What is the difference between a treaty and an executive agreement?
As explained in greater detail in 11 FAM 721.2, there are two procedures under domestic law through which the United States becomes a party to an international agreement. First, international agreements (regardless of their title, designation, or form) whose entry into force with respect to the United States takes place only after two thirds of the U.S. Senate has given its advice and consent under Article II, section 2, Clause 2 of the Constitution are “treaties.” Second, international agreements brought into force with respect to the United States on a constitutional basis other than with the advice and consent of the Senate are “international agreements other than treaties” and are often referred to as “executive agreements.” There are different types of executive agreements.
