Oh No.
The press conference just started but when the US delegation march out the door into the room, I saw nothing but white men – if indeed Stephen Miller is actually human – and all I could think is that this is not going to go well for me.
Is this the last gasp of white men?
UPDATE
I am stunned, even for Trump. What a horrible embarrassment for the United States. Trump siding with Putin’s word over the United States justice, intelligence, and law enforcement. Jim Acosta gave a little tidbit that I didn’t catch. When Putin was asked if he had dirt on Trump, he paused so long that there was nervous laughter in the room. Then he never said no.
This is all the fault of the DNC, Hillary Clinton, and the electoral college.
Little Bubba just sent me this:
Horrifying.
UPDATE:
And late as usual. All the officials (NATO, the Queen, and now the press) should either walk out on his, bar him from entering, or (press especially) ignore him and cut away.
1The New York Times has an interesting Op Ed from a Pakistani woman about how wolves are useful in Pakistani rural democracy: vote as directed by the local boss, or he threatens to set his wolves on you. Fear of the wolves is such that the boss only had to use them once.
Sounds like Trump’s plan for the US.
2So Trump announces low expectations going into the summit. I can’t disagree with him on that point. Probably no higher than a couple of inches below Putin’s belt line.
3As someone posted on a feed I was reading …. ‘At the Summit in Helsinki between Trump and Putin, wouldn’t it be nice if there was someone there to represent the interests of the United States.’
4Great nations/empires/civilizations decay very slowly, then very quickly. Wingnutz and their propaganda machine are a clear and present danger to The U.S.
5If Americans don’t flip Congress this November, we don’t deserve this country and we will richly deserve all the bad sh*t that’s coming for us.
The Putin-Trump presser was nothing short of treasonous on Trump’s part. The sucking up to Putin, soft-pedaling election interference, and basically saying outright that he believes Putin over our intelligence and justice agencies. Just when I actually start thinking this can’t possibly get any worse, it does!
This is such a dangerous time for anyone who gives a rip about America and our democracy. If people don’t get out and vote the entire Republican bunch out in November, we can kiss our country good-bye. And maybe we already have since Trump just made it clear that he’s taking his marching orders from Putin. Trump is a traitor!
6Trump’s MAGA campaign hats were Red, camouflaged with the word “America.” He wasn’t trying to hide anything.
7The Republican congress should hang its head in shame, watching what amounts to a Russian takeover of America, and with no one preparing a defense against future Russian hacking,
8we progressive voters are already doomed. Devon Nunes, happy now?
If you missed the live version (Q&A starts 18:30)

republican & patriots are not to be used together in a sentence! Except as rePUKEians show themselves to be anti-patriots, trying to destroy the republic!
10Lawsie me! Trump actually got pissed off when Putin showed him a certain video during their meeting: nukes hitting Florida. So what sedative did Putin use? Trump gave no sign of such rage during the press conference. Conclusions are all yours!
11I have been struggling to find something positive about this miasma engulfing us. I finally found something to say that is positive.
In all my years I’ve never been more proud that I’m a Democrat.
12I hope Jim Acosta makes it home all right. I don’t want to hear that he “fell” out a hotel window.
13As Neville Chamberlain might have said “a piece of shite for our time.”
14Какой саммит. Путин: я любил ваш дар Крыму. Твой дар женщин с удивительным мочевым пузырем был лучшим.
15Jane & PKM, Yuck, that’s gross…heard trump needed to change his tie too, and about wore out his gelded..oops..gilded kneepads.
16Jane & PKM:
I hope he used mouthwash before the summit.
17Just sent an email to my Congresswoman, Elise Stefanik R NY.
Called her a coward if she does not denounce Trump.
And not on her Facebook page but in Washington DC.
Also sent an email to the White House calling Trumps acts treasonous.
18Put the pressure on your representatives, Trump needs to be impeached.
If lying about a blow job is an impeachable offense, I surely think the last few days of Trump’s presidency rises way and above that offense.
Actually, he should be tried for treason.
It is time for congressional D’s to publicly call for impeachment including leaders.
19If Pelosi and schumer want to play nice with demented donnie and his cotorie of crooks, traitors, frauds, liars and fools they can do it from the back benches, and hopefully from retirement.
Only possible thing is this may give some thuglican enough backbone to stop kavanagues appointment that promises to offer immunity to dummkopf drumfp.
I hope Vlad The Impaler got a bulk rate on Astro Glide and Ben Gay.
20Not mincing words, former Rep. Joe Walsh calls Comrade Trump a traitor.
Dan Rather points out that American journalists had more courage in asking Putin questions than Comrade President did.
BBC headline: “Trump sides with Russia against FBI”
Neil Cavuto calls Comrade Trump’s presser with Putin ‘Disgusting’
Republican Sen. Ben Sasse (Neb.) said Comrade Trump’s remarks at the Putin presser were “bizarre” and gave Russia a “propaganda win.”
Former RNC Chair Michael Steele said, “That’s how a press conference sounds when an Asset stands next to his Handler.”
Former CIA Director John Brennan tweeted, “Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.” It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???”
Sen. Corker, “He [Putin] gained a tremendous amount … I would guess he’s having caviar right now.”
Sen. Jeff Flake: “I never thought I would see the day when our American President would stand on the stage with the Russian President and place blame on the United States for Russian aggression. This is shameful.”
John McCain: “Today’s press conference in #Helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory.”
John Weaver, who was Huntsman’s chief strategist during his 2012 bid for president, tweeted the message at his former boss, “resign if you have any honor.”
21It’s only Monday. Place your bets. Will Sarah Chuck-A-Load Sandbag be up to the Herculean task of the hammer throw necessary to spin the 16 tons of disaster rock over the podium, or will she screw her self into the ground with the effort? My bet is we’ll see Raj Shah step up to the podium as he often does when there’s an event Sarah can’t stumble her way through to an exit.
Was anyone able to decipher the Marco Rubio tweet? Due to water stains or something the covfefe translator choked on that one. If anyone is waiting for the snacilbupeR in Congress to undergo spinal transplants, cross that coward off the list.
As to Vlad’s apparent coy reply to kompromat on Donnie, expect 5-6 deaths of GRU members. Vlad is not happy that his GRU may have no more on Donnie than what’s indicated in the Steele Dossier, while British and other EU intelligence sources have much more. That has to burn. It has certainly been frosting Donnie’s chops since 2015.
22Then there was the Helsinki incident, that’s when they all turned against me.
23Trump is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vladimir Putin.
24“Humiliated” is the word i read in several places. Tangerine Wankmaggot totally humiliated himself.
25Matt Gaetz is apparently the Republican candidate who asked for and received oppo information from the Russians before the 2016 election
