"Well, he said no, and why would he lie? I'm the most honest president, the most honest, in history. So if I tell you Putin's being honest, and he's a wonderful guy, that Putin, did you ever hear how great a guy he is.....but if I tell you he's honest, because I'm the most honest, ever, then he's being honest." *meanwhile T-90s roll down Pennsylvania Avenue*


Lol, don't worry, the country currently upping it's spy game on us and is launching routine cyber attacks is going to form a cyber crime division. What could possibly go wrong? Lord above, please strike AF1 down with lightning over the ocean

Yeah, I'm like... not really processing the proper level of outrage I'm supposed to feel for this whole "the President took a walk from the G20 Summit and his unelected/unveted/unapproved daughter just plopped down with the world's leaders in his place" thing. I know i'm mad. I know I'm outraged. I know I'm embarrassed. I just can't quite get my brain around it because the idea of Chelsea Clinton or Jenna Bush doing this was never an option.

As I said last time, reality is warping to parody way too fast for me to keep up.

And yet they likely all went ape when the "wookie" got involved in political issues because since when have the "party of morality" and the religion with a loving law from the god they worshipped demanding everyone to be honest ever given a drat about being honest

Tillerson probably won't need as much presidentially appointed staff (the lack of which he was complaining about) if he were trusting the career people properly....

No, the State Department needs the presidentially appointed, Senate confirmed positions to function. Many of these positions, at the Assistant Secretary level, are nominated from among the highest ranks of the foreign service, but they do need to be nominated and confirmed to fully carry the weight of the office.

Lindsay Graham said on Meet The Press just now that Trump's meeting with Putin was a, "disaster," and he was, "dumbfounded" by how Trump spent two hours trying to, "forgive and forget." He has pledged to put a bill for more sanctions on Trump's desk.

loving think about that. A man who has probably never read a book in his adult life is going to have his own library.

Not only is she almost certainly still alive, she's probably a birther despite her life having been noticeably improved by Obama's policies and voted for Trump.

If it makes you feel better though, i give solid odds she has poorly managed diabetes and is currently slipping down that deeply unpleasant way to die.

REMIND ME AGAIN HOW THE LITTLE HORSE-SHAPED ONES MOVE?
Actually, targeted sanctions, like freezing the assets of individual people, can inflict a certain amount of pain on oligarchs. It won't get rid of all of their money, obviously, but it will prevent them from using large portions of the world to move their money through. I don't know if this is the kind of sanctions that Lindsey Graham has in mind of course.
