President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin may meet next week at an economic summit in Vietnam, but there is scant optimism in Russia that face-to-face talks will yield any breakthroughs on the long list of issues that divide Washington and Moscow.
Sanctions against Russia, tensions in Syria, the threat of military conflict in North Korea and the stalemate over Ukraine top the litany of seemingly intractable differences in the U.S.-Russia relationship.
Looming above it all is the sense in Moscow that the closer special counsel Robert S. Mueller III comes to Trump’s inner circle in his investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, the less likely the U.S. president will be to try to reverse the downward spiral with Russia.
Trump, who set out Friday for a 12-day trip to Asia that will take him to Japan, South Korea, China and the Philippines, told Fox News on Thursday that it was possible he could meet with the Russian leader for the second time. Trump is scheduled to appear at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Danang, Vietnam, which Putin is also scheduled to attend.
“We may have a meeting with Putin,” he said. “And again, Putin is very important because they can help us with North Korea. They can help us with Syria. We have to talk about Ukraine.”
Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said that “we aren’t ruling out a Putin-Trump meeting in Vietnam” and that the details “are being coordinated now.”
One has to ask at this point, "Does it even matter anymore?"
I mean does anybody still not believe that Trump is Putin's Manchurian candidate, and that Trump is , as Stephen Colbert so eloquently stated, Putin's "c**k holster?"
And if there are such people can somebody direct me to the cave that they are living in so that I can interview them?
I saw earlier today that people in Hawaii trolled Trump by holding up signs reading "Welcome to Kenya" when he arrived yesterday. Ya gotta love that!
ReplyDeleteGood for them,hope their humor raised his blood pressure
DeleteLOL. I love it.
DeleteTrump is so befuddled he now thinks Kenya is located in Hawaii.
DeleteCalling that traitor trump the manchurian candidate,which was brainwashed lets trump off the hook.
ReplyDeleteHe is knowingly and willfully destroying the USA.
Trump doesn't even have a brain to wash.
DeleteStop giving your power away.
DeleteBy the people. For the people. Don't forget. Fight.
Failure to fight = Forfeit.
I cannot see that in USA.
You all are too Arnry. Shrug.
So the draft dodger finally is sent to Vietnam
ReplyDeleteHope that bone spur doesn't act up.
It turns out the bone spur was in the head not the foot. Not fit to serve still stands.
DeleteIt is hard to believe that ANY military person would stand next to that liar and crook. If they do? they are as bad as him.

I do believe your cave is in Austin TX, Gryph, but I certainly wouldn't recommend going there.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't recommend anyone go there. It's hot, humid and it's in Texas, and aside from the really cheap housing there (wonder why, duh!) there's really no reason to go to Austin.
DeleteUsed to have to travel there from AK 4 times or more a year and it was the thing that I used to dread the most.
Its only saving grace is a nice boutique culture along the river where one can shop til you drop for cute clothes and lots of art, but that's it.
RIGHT over the head, Gryph!
Deletehahahahaha
Does Hippie Hollow still exist?
DeleteAustin is an AWESOME place, and very liberal if you stay out of the suburbs. Very accepting diverse fun place. Full of artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, and a thriving DIY community. I am not thrilled with TX, but I am in the process of moving there part time. TX is going to go blue.
DeleteTrump's an idiot. Does he really think anybody believes this? He's almost as bad as Carter Page. I can hear his attorney screaming at his tv - "Shut up, Donald. Just shut the fuck up."

Of course, he will declare himself the leader with the greatest mind (?) and most remarkable memory (?) while, back in the countries he visited, they are LAUGHING.

DeleteIf Trump thinks he can trust Russia he is a total idiot, but Putin already knows this, and he also knows The Donald's acchilies heel is his massive ego and and he want's to achieve some kind of win no matter the cost.
ReplyDeleteAs Trump's presidency goes down the tubes Trump is more and more desperate, he is defiant and all he cares about is Trump.
This is a man who speaks in the third person, a stupid man who has spent his life building a persona he never has lived up to. Be afraid about how easily he can be manipulated and has no idea about world affairs.
America is in the hands of a spoiled egotistical idiot who feels entitled.
He is the hero to the uneducated who can't think beyond "Telling it like it is"
He is nothing but a braggart who inherited money.The real money in New York hates him.
Yes indeed. Now the real and good money and power must step up and get this mess cleaned up asap. Real world vs un world.
DeleteWhat and interupt that century money train? Haha.
DeleteNo. They only way you get those Fucks to "help" is take away their $$$ gravy train.
Come now. You must make do with less. Sound familiar?
If Putin’s views Mueller as that dangerous and influential, I’d say Mueller just rose to the top of Putin’s assassination list. I hope he’s being very careful regarding Ricin and some of those radioactive substances that can be put in food, injected or inhaled. Would hate to read one morning that Mueller “fell” from a balcony.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that wouldn’t stop anything. I’m sure Mueller has assembled a good team and should anything happen to him personally, the work will go on.
Still, he must feel like he has a target on his back.
A massive sweep should fix it.

ReplyDeleteThe Moron Abroad: Trump Insults Japan By Telling “Samurais” To Shoot Down N. Korea Missiles
ReplyDeleteTrump has been wondering for months why a “nation of samurais” like Japan didn’t just shoot down North Korean missiles.
The Japan Times reported, “Trump questioned Japan’s decision not to shoot down the missiles when he met or spoke by phone with leaders from Southeast Asian countries over recent months to discuss how to respond to the threats from North Korea, the sources said. The U.S. president said he could not understand why a country of samurai warriors did not shoot down the missiles, the sources said.”

ReplyDelete"When Republicans unveiled tax reform legislation on Thursday, discussion surrounding the bill centered on its potential impact on middle-class households and its apparent giveaway to the economic elite.
But another proposed change ― featured way down on pages 427 and 428 of the 429-page draft bill ― is raising a red flag for advocates of the separation of church and state.
The legislation proposes changes to the Johnson Amendment, a 63-year-old tax law that prohibits churches and other tax-exempt organizations from participating in political campaigns. Under the Republicans’ proposed bill, members of the clergy who endorse candidates from the pulpit would be legally protected.
Religious organizations would not risk losing their tax-exempt status “solely because of the content of any homily, sermon, teaching, dialectic, or other presentation made during religious services or gatherings,” the bill specifies, according to The Washington Post.
The stipulation doesn’t “get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment,” as President Donald Trump vowed to do shortly after his inauguration. It applies only to religious institutions and not to other tax-exempt nonprofits. And clergy would be able to endorse candidates and policies in sermons but still would not be permitted to make financial contributions to campaigns on behalf of their churches.
Only Congress has the power to officially repeal the amendment. Doing so could allow individuals to make tax-exempt political donations by way of churches ― something advocates say might undermine the integrity of the tax system and transparency in political campaigns.
Still, the proposed changes constitute a substantial departure from a tax policy that many secular advocates believe to be fundamental to the separation of church and state."

ReplyDelete"Republicans slipped anti-abortion language into the draft of the tax reform bill they released on Thursday. The move is part of an effort by the Trump administration and House Republicans to define life as beginning at conception, with an eye to rolling back Roe v. Wade.
Buried on page 93 of the 429-page tax proposal is a provision that would allow fetuses to be named as beneficiaries of college savings accounts known as 529 plans ― investment vehicles that come with a range of tax breaks.
Pro-abortion rights advocates were quick to call out the language. “This is a back-door attempt to establish personhood from the moment of conception,” Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), co-chair of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus, said in a statement. “The tax code is no place to define what constitutes an ‘unborn child.’ What’s next, giving a Social Security number to a zygote?”
Ostensibly, the idea is that parents can get a leg up on saving for their kid’s education before he or she is even born. However, it takes care to define the terms “unborn child” and “child in utero,” in what appears to be a naked attempt to establish so-called personhood for fetuses, a popular anti-abortion tactic.
Abortion foes believe that if fetuses were legally considered people, then abortion would have to be outlawed. State and federal legislation attempting to classify fertilized eggs, human embryos and fetuses as people has failed repeatedly over the years. The tax reform provision appears to be a sideways attempt at something similar."
So I have not kept up with the lastest segment of this reality show. Uncle Iran fired missles at prince Saudi's airport and then the royals had a bunch arrested and held up in ritz carlton? Ok Jared was just there begging for money. Then Drumpf flies off to putin, manfart hocks 12 mill so he can leave the crib, Ivanka did not convince japan women and Chef Mueller is preparing the luau for the holidays. What did I miss? besides English class?
