Har, Har, Har!
Someplace somewhere a special prosecutor is saving a tape of this.
Today Donald Trump found time in his busy schedule to meet with the Russian Foreign Minister.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov sarcastically acted surprised Wednesday when asked a question about the firing of FBI Director James Comey during a visit to Washington.
“Was he fired? You’re kidding, you’re kidding,” he said during a brief press conference at the State Department before making a face, shaking his head and leaving the room.
Oh, that will certainly be played to a jury hearing the conspiracy case against Donald Trump.
Cute couple, huh?
Trump thinks he’s bulletproof and likes to rub that in our noses.
Here’s a suggestion I saw this a.m. Hire Comey as the special prosecutor! THAT should liven things up, eh?
1Actually, it was Tillerson who met with Lavrov when he made that statement. Trump will be meeting with him later. The pudgy guy on the right is Kislyak. The other pudgy guy you already know. Unfortunately.
2Let’s keep Sallie Yates involved. As the father of two smart, successful daughters, she makes me proud. As an American, she makes me proud.
As a side note, it looks like CJ has put on a few pounds. That’s not healthy.
3Trump can’t shake hands with German Chancellor Merkel, a staunch US ally.
4Trump can shake hands with Russian Envoy Lavrov, the day after he fires the guy conducting the Russian probe.
I guess those Rossneft payouts need a bit of massaging.
@JAKvirginia
I see your point. I actually hoped against hope it would be Sally Yates.
I know. But a boy can dream!
5Trump and his Russian handlers were probably planning his emergency escape route if the Republican cover-up should start to crumble.
6I spelled Ms. Yates’ name incorrectly; it is “Sally.” I apologize.
7Micr, there’s enough work to hire both Comey and Yates as special prosecutors. One can focus on Donnie, while the other deals with the rest of Dolt45’s crime family. As for his ‘administration’ there’s justification to split the workload with yet another special prosecutor. Team work! Maybe former AGs Holder and Lynch would be interested in assisting. Then there’s the NY guy hired and fired by Donnie, Preet Bharara. He certainly has significant insight into the Drumpf disorganization.
😀 really want to dream, Micr? Let’s go with a “blue ribbon” team of special prosecutors. Both President and First Lady Obama are attorneys, as is former Sec/Sen Clinton. Hello Donnie …
8@Jane and PKM:
That is one vivid imagination at play there. Rock on!
9“he’s bulletproof”…cough…cough…
This really is a slow-motion oligarchical Coup d’état in progress, people.
SOBOTUS Donnei Trussian and his team of treasonous Rethugatchiks are surely squeezing a deadly python grip onto every part of our nation.
Looks, sounds, smells, like one of these to me (a non-military one). Will our military, or somebody, step up?:
10https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coup_d%27état
“A coup d’état (/ˌkuː deɪˈtɑː/ About this sound listen (help·info); French: [ku.de.ta]), also known simply as a coup (/kuː/), a putsch (/pʊtʃ/), or an overthrow, is the illegal and overt seizure of a state by the military or other elites within the state apparatus.[1]”
Dear Donnie,
It’s OK if the Russian Foreign Minister is laughing WITH you, but when he’s laughing AT you, you have probably screwed up, bigly. Ask Ivanka about it; maybe she can explain the difference to you.
11snacilbupeR wet dreams are that either Gov. Cartman or JooLeeAnny replace Comey. Never Gonna Happen. Too many snacilbupeR know approving either of those clowns would doom reelection bids.
There’s a lot of chatter about the rages Orange Whore flies into when reporting on Kremlingate is on tv. He screams at the tv, then his peeps to “Make it stop!” Bwahahahahahaha!
Dems are considering a general slow down of Senate business until an unbiased FBI Director is chosen or a Special Prosecutor is appointed.
For most of his life Orange Whore has bullied, beat up, bribed, lied and cheated to get whatever he wants. It’s driving him crazier that he can’t do that now. Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
12Just curious, how do you say “that dog won’t hunt” in Russian?
13I hear that Barack Obama is unemployed these days, and looking to get back into government service. I think he would make a good special prosecutor. He knows how things work over there at what used to be the people’s house.
14Tony Bob King, Эта собака не будет охотиться. Sad part is the only word Donnie understands in Russian is “nyet,” a word he fails to comprehend in English.
15Is it true that press coverage was limited to the Russian press – and that the American press was excluded?
16Too many things to worry about:
(1) Will CJ and Co. pull off some sort of Reichstag fire and use it to pass our very own Enabling Act and suspend the next election?
(2) Whom will he fire next? My money is on the U.S. attorney for the eastern district of Virginia, as a grand jury there is said to have several indictments ready to file against some of CJ’s pals.
(3) What will the military do in the face of all that’s happened? We may have a military coup in our future, and those things ain’t pretty. All the same, that may be what it takes.
(4) The ammosexuals still love their CJ. Will they sit on the sidelines, or will they decide that the situation requires them to start shooting liberals? Civil war, anyone?
17It took me a while to get what happened.
The sitting POTUS allowed electronic equipment owned by a foreign power unsupervised into the Oval office. I presume the Oval office itself is a scif and thus the Russians were inside an American scif with recording equipment and g-d what other electronic equipment. The sitting POTUS is naive to the point of crazy stupid.
18Cheryl,
Yes (one of ‘n’ links below)…and there’s a screenshot of a WH high-priority tweet around somewhere, commanding that it be so!
If not stopped these treasonous Repukes will destroy this nation.
Contrary to what many think, they are not stupid (not even Donnei) or incompetent. They are slowly achieving their goals and strangling our democracy, just like a python wraps around it’s victim and slowly chokes it, almost without that prey fully realizing it. And Trussian hasn’t even been in power four months yet.

19Micr, damned good point about the ELINT.
20“The sitting POTUS is naive to the point of crazy stupid.”…
Or, or, or, he’s he’s so tight with them (obviously) it’s ‘only natural’.
Remember, he dwelt in, and apparently thrived and amassed huuge wealth, in an environment, NYC, rife with the Russian Mafia/Mob (or whatever they’re called).
His ties run deep thereabouts (Melania as a ‘sleeper’?). Perhaps there’s another reason she’s not residing in the WH, vetting probs; until now anyway.
I’ve filled out SC forms on others (and my own), they’re pretty thorough, and get cross-checked six ways from a rough Saturday night.
If we are dreaming, how about Comey as special prosecutor, and Yates to head the FBI.
21The guvmint puts the squeeze on anyone who wants to visit an executive department building and see the big dog. What they want in background info was bad enough years ago and even more so now. Yet an independent photog gets into the White House as part of the Russian entourage? Even a spy can operate a camera – and leave something behind. Its not just Trump who is the demented one at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
22The press angle is important. US media not allowed, Russian welcomed. Check comments of former diplomats and press that they had to leave cameras, recording equipment, etc. outside OVAL Office. Were there microwaves present?
23To paraphrase King Henry II, will someone rid us of this traitorus, demented raging madman?
24@BFSMan
If movies can help you through Hair Drumpf’s administration, let me recommend three
1. Seven Days in May
2. Fail Safe
3. Dr. Strangelove
Within these three movies, the Nixon and Drumpf presidencies and administrations were foreshadowed fictionally. You might see Henry Kissinger in Dr Strangelove. I certainly do. You might see David Petraeus there. And you might see some characters I have missed.
25I just hope that after the Russian guests & media left, the Secret Service did a very, VERY thorough security sweep of the Oval Office.
Though why bother? Donnie only says & thinks what the Russians want him to anyway.
