If you are going to lean on a cover story this hard, it should be at least remotely plausible.
Trump Found It âInterestingâ That Putin Talked Adoptions In 2nd G20 Meeting
Bet Trump would have found this to be way more interesting .
Damn, that is cool!
Yeah, really. Itâs like a 3-year-old whoâs got icing all over his face trying to explain that the cat, no, the dog, no the TeleTubbies came swooping out of the TV and he tried and tried to keep them away from the cupcakes, but then a unicorn appeared and distracted him andâŚwell, somehow the cupcakes got eaten, but he had nothing to do with it.
Goodness. Itâs like a Russian cat playing with an idiot American mouse. Everyone has become numb to Donaldâs insane ravings and total lies.
:Putinâs silly game of holding Donaldâs hand just makes Russia look like it canât take on the real powers shaping new economic and political policies for the 21st century. Vlad is wasting his time trying to humiliate those of us who didnât vote for Trump. We enjoy watching Donaldâs supporters suffer as much as Putin does.
Putin: I want my spy-houses back. I want sanctions lifted. I want to Make Russia Great Again. You should understand that. Besides, you owe me.
Wherein Trumpler discourses on Napoleon, Hitler, and the historical climatology of Russia.
ETA
Followed by:
But the Russians have great fighters in the cold. They use the cold to their advantage. I mean, theyâve won five wars where the armies that went against them froze to death. [crosstalk] Itâs pretty amazing.
So, weâre having a good time. The economy is doing great.
SCHMIDT: The markets are doing great.
Now who can argue with that?
(remembers previously swearing off the reading of PP transcripts. Slaps self.)
@inversion ( Still canât get your accent quite right)
Lawmakers and foreign policy experts have said it was a terrible idea for Trump to hold a private discussion with Putin at the G20 summit without a translator present, and that it was very unusual for his administration not to reveal the additional meeting until it came out in the press this week.
I have learned to be unsurprised at any behavior from Trump. He is impulsive, narcissistic and ignorant. What does disturb me is that no one seems to be able to summon the courage to actually stop him. The GOP owes the country a huge debt for their failure to rein in this man-child.
I would love to see CNN bring on a historian of Europe to discuss what Trump says, seriously and without laughing.
It would be hilarious.
If politics really was sports, the GOP would be suspended for several seasons.
SO when the bag and its siblings say âadoptionâ they mean âMagnitsky Actâ which was passed as punishment for the prison death of a russian named Magnitsky who uncovered how russians were laundering money in the NY real estate market in the late 2000âs
Congress passed the âSergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Actâ in 2012 to punish Russian human rights abusers by banning them from entering the United States.
âAdoptionâ is just code for something else; given that, Iâm sure they did talk about adoption.
But theyâd make us buy them a new stadium anyway.
So they talked about sanctions. Duh.
As a Texan you must know that shrub made out on the Rangers stadium deal as a âpartnerâ.
And now I live in Chicago, where the White Sox got an absolutely unconscionable deal on their park, named âGuaranteed Rate Field,â or as North Siders refer to it: âI Couldnât Get Cubsâ Tickets Park.â
Politico has an interesting story from a longtime Republican operative on How the GOP Became the Party of Putin
