    But the Weekly Standard is just another fake news organization supporting the deep state. So let me show you the latest meme of Trump beating up CNN...

    New picture of the Putin-trump meeting was just released (showing Tillerson, Lavrov, and the two interpreters)...

    With apologies to the two interpreters... who were only doing their jobs...

    This is the reason why these meetings have historically been much more coordinated in the past instead of two hour talk about whatever meetings. Bush jr learned this when Putin went to his ranch... the Russians' tactic are to always to push further publicly than what was actually agreed upon in meetings. It's very amateurish to not be prepared for this.

    Putin obviously has no respect for Trump who can bully on the playground with the little kids all day long, but in a fight with the big kids, he cowers. Typical bully behavior.

    Tie our agencies hands. Great job Trump. Of course, maybe the desired outcome. #MAGA. Put #AmericaFirst.

    I think that is the point Sally Yates is making...



    I hope Yates looks at a political future. Wickedly smart, well-spoken, telegenic.

    it's actually a smart play. You could stage a fall out with comrade putin and make him the worlds most evil man. Then, we'd have a pseudo colder war, putting even more fear in the every day patriot. Get another 2 republican elections out of it. =/

    Respectfully ... if you think the play with Trump/Tillerson is a hardening of relations with Putin where sanctions can NOT be lifted, you haven't been paying attention.

    Trump and Tillerson have been trying since day one (even before with Flynns notorious Dec 29 call) to get sanctions lifted. Tillerson' lifetime has spent serving Exxon who has billions invested in Arctic drilling rights that cannot be cashed in on until sanctions are lifted.

    So no way this is the play for Trump/Tillerson. Too much is invested in a joint partnership with Russia and Russia has too much at stake financially and strategically to mess with their agenda of boosting their economy and getting Trump to break up NATO alliances to allow him the chance to take back the Baltic states.

    The only play this is for Putin is to show the world that Trump is his bi$&*, and show that he is a man in charge of the USA.

    I am not sure, but based on conquistador's past posts I suspect his post was sarcastic/tongue in cheek...

    Ah... well in that case... Trump is a master negotiator. We should start requiring The Art of the Deal be taught in public high schools from now on.

    Trump fans? How can you support someone who so blatantly thinks you are so incredibly stupid he can do things like this and you won't know any better?

    He is openly purging a national voter roll and setting up a "cyber security" committee which PUTIN will have a hand in. You have to be the biggest moron in the world to not see what he's doing right now.
