Discussion: Russia Doesn't Buy Trump's Excuse For Canceling Summit With Putin

THERE is NO TRUTH to the BASELESS assertion that PUTIN summoned TRUMP to APPEAR at this meeting.

Yeah but he knew he was going to get his ass chewed out for losing the house so he called out sick.

Is not yesterday a declaration that the president can no longer effectively perform his responsibilities due to the mounting legal concerns?.

Russian state radio recognizes it.

This would be a good time to execute the 25th amendment.

The body language between Putin and Pence at a conference a few weeks ago was a bit striking to me. He could be the replacement Vlad needs. Putin has lost some leverage over Trump with the exposure of the TT Moscow deal and the $50 mill NY penthouse bribe. He has the pee pee tape, and although I believe every American is entitled to its public disclosure, it actually isn’t worse than the depravity we already know about (Trump modeling agency, Jeffrey Epstein crap). The pee pee tape would be a ‘big splash’ as a newsy item but I don’t think it would move the needle as much as yesterday’s guilty plea will.

Yesterday’s guilty plea utterly kills Trump among independent voters and those Obama to Trump voters who largely swung back to Team Blue in 2018. There are actually a lot of dumb schitt voters out there who believed that Trump would make some real changes to benefit them. But this revelation tells those voters that Trump was only ever out for his own business interests, not for his base or his people.

Even if the GOP doesn’t get how having a traitor POTUS can be bad for them electorally, Trump has already lost the 2020 election based on what we learned yesterday. There’s no coming back from this.

Deep in the Amazon basin, in a long lost valley where dinosaurs still roam, isolated from the rest of the world by time and circumstance, one lone Cuban explorer stumbles upon a tribe of jungle woman all dressed like Raquel Welch in One Million Years B.C. The intrepid adventure adjusts her wire rimmed glasses and drawing upon her years of experience with isolate languages and primitive cultures, using mix gestural and spoken words, describes a world where man-creatures live and a mango topped overlord rules a great land with all the skill of a two year old. She tells of this “cancelled summit” and asks, if even they, as the lost tribe that they are, believes him. The tribe erupts in a cacophony of laughter. The explorer notes in her log book, after much research, not a single person on Earth believes the mango topped overlord.

Later the Cuban woman joins the tribe in a bonding ceremony, but alas, it’s NSFW so it can’t be related it here.

Why would anyone want a low occupancy condo skyrise with shitty tenant relations and overpriced units in their neighborhood, especially knowing they’d eventually have to seize it, take over management and somehow fend off bankruptcy proceedings?

Because the Trump brand stands for quality and class! :joy: :joy: :joy:

Isn’t it sad that a Russian government spokesperson is more believable than the U.S. President?

Putin and Tom Cruise have a lot in common in the way they treat their Significant Others. Putin will drop Trump in a second when it becomes expedient and move on to Pence. The fact that Putin and Pence are chumming up probably means that Putin has some goods on him also. He will continue to push the US around until a Repug is no longer in the WH.

Trump is being discarded having reached his “use by” dated. He is now spoiled goods and a pariah to right-thinking world leaders other than despots and dictators.

Zakharova reportedly said. “Publicly, we heard just such an explanation, we took note of it. Is this a reality?

Hey if Donald said, er tweeted, it you can take it to the bank…it still will be worthless, but they’ll get a good laugh out of it too.

They’re not even pretending to cover for him any more.

It is not unreasonable to think Pence might also be compromised. If so, lookie at who is 3rd in line to the President! Yahoo. P.S. Bad timing Paul.

Russian officials believe President’s Trump’s decision to cancel a meeting with President Vladimir Putin may have been based on a “domestic political situation” — like Michael Cohen’s Thursday guilty plea

NO WAY!

Interesting you use the word discarded. That’s what narcissist do, discard people when they’re done with them. And they tend to do it publicly or very much in the face of the one being discarded. Putin is a Covert Narcissist (sneaky) trump is and Overt (openly) one.

Curious – what would happen if both Dotard and Pantsonfire are booted from office before Jan 1? IIRC, there isn’t a Speaker until the new Congress votes…

(I taught US Gov at HS level for a couple of years, but somehow this question never came up.)

That won’t happen, but it would appear that Ryan would be POTUS for a few days then pass it on to Nancy. But I have no idea how that would really work.
