Yep…donnie really envies Putin and MBS because they’ve actually had journalists killed.

Damn…everyday it’s a new shitshow.

Meh, this is nothing compared to the time that Obama wore a tan suit, let alone Michelle wearing sleeveless outfits.

Lapping up his master’s treats, like a dog. One of the weakest, most obsequious “leaders” any nation has ever known. Servile to the degree that I’m sure Putin still has warning lights flashing in his head, because this must be a trick; surely he will awake from this incredible dream. No American president could be like this.

The picture looks like Putin wrapped his fingers upward on Trump’s wrist making Trumps hand look smaller than his own. From the look on his face, Trump noticed.

Do you entirely believe it yourself? Because I still don’t. I know it, rationally. But I can’t believe we elected a person who’s in thrall to a hostile foreign government. It’s staggering, and literally incredible at a certain level, and I think it always will be. It took Helsinki for some people to really hoist it aboard but boy, the hits just keep coming.

Some time ago, I stopped wondering if the Russians had dirt on Trump, or if Trump had reasonable fear that they might. Putin has something much more powerful than kompromat. He has Trump’s undying admiration. The beta basks in the radiant glow of the alpha.

My first response to this moment was sadness, which surprised me. Not anger, or some zen distance (which I try for constantly).
There’s a loss here that I’m hoping is not permanent, and I will work with others to set right in whatever ways I can.
But so far, this rapist is getting away with it…

It’s the only time he really seems happy, when he sees Putin.

I can believe we elected it. I can’t believe fifty-odd Republican Senators think it’s worth what meager spoils they’re getting.

A few tens of man-years of Supreme Court jurisprudence? Really, in exchange for the soul of the country, for the rule of law, for democracy? Is it really worth it?

And that it would be the Republicans who elected as their leader that person… The lapel-flag-pin crowd who bleeds red, white and blue…

Yes, in this photo at least, the deferential lack of eye contact from Trump is emblematic.

We didn’t. We really didn’t. Jimmy Carter tells the truth - he is an imposter.

The bond over disparagement of the media was particularly stinging, given at least 26 journalists have been murdered in Russia since Putin took the presidency.

Chiselin’ Trump: “I like Russian journalists who weren’t murdered, but that’s okay.”

What time is it in Japan? I can’t wait to see the tweet…

From the good folks at the Committee to protect journalists. 42 journalists murdered during Putin’s regime some under the in between Medvedev, mostly under suspicious circumstances.
Our president is ok with this.

I’m sure they agree that a free press will expose their bad habits but with putin it’s usually to terminate the messenger. I wonder what dump will resort to.
