Russian Oligarch Shows Up in Palm Beach in Advance of Trump
Russian oligarch, close ally of Putin, and owner of the Chelsea Football Club in London just parked his 500 foot yacht in Palm Beach in advance of Trump’s migration to the Winter White Shit House for Thanksgiving. I’m sure this was a pure coinkinkydink, right?
Must be time for new instructions.
1“And if you buy that, I’ve got a great deal for you. No checks, please – cash, and in small, untraceable bills…”
2Money laundering time.
3Actually, the Eclipse is 533 feet. Equipped with a pool, helipad, submarine, and crew of 92.

I don’t see what the big deal is. That’s only 518 feet longer than slipstream’s boat.
4I think we will never know of a visit between these two. trump does not release visitor’s log, am I correct?
5Crikey! A copter and a submarine! Is that enough to start a war? Or is this just a week bit of intimidation? As in, Just remember who has your back, comrade.
6@ Maymoon: not so far, he hasn’t. Pure coincidence; nothing to see here; move along! /s
Lord, they’re not even trying to hide collusion any more.
7Special delivery, I hear Russian turkeys are the best! Not to mention their cranberry sauce, hmmm scrumptiously hand squeezed from only the finest virgin peasant girls.
8Several months ago Rachel Maddow did a show or two on the private jets owned by Russian oligarchs which appeared at airports at which the Trumpster showed up during his campaign.
Mere coincidence? Or Trump selling franchises on organized crime districts after Cuz Putin put him in power?
9If the issue is Dotard45 and his Maladministration, (d)all of the above is the safe bet answer.
What was the question?
10When this happens:
“Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.”
… there’s probably a reason. Somebody’s looking for something.
11Daniel,
I remember that. What are the chances that several days before the election a Russian oligarch and DJT would show up on the tarmac in Charlotte NC simultaneously? Twice, there was another show up someplace else obscure.
12I just want to know when we’re going to get our country back.
13Speaking of boats, torpedoes and shiny objects. Heads up, snacilbupeR in Congress! Before tax ‘cut’ negotiations begin, on behalf of Donnie, Mick Mulvaney is signaling that the Dolt45 gang will fold on the rescinding of the ACA individual mandate to pass something, anything. Way to negotiate, Donnie.
Nice trinket, Donnie. We accept. Now tell your kids their Christmas is cancelled. No animal body parts for Dimwit Jr. and Err-Reich. And, a big nyet to Javanka on their subsidized Nanny expenses disguised as a child “care” credit.
There’s more. But we don’t want to be rude and make demands prior to seeing what else you are willing to give us, Donnie. At least not until the opening salvos are fired.
Big Smooches,
14Chuck and Nancy
slipstream,
To give y’all a sense of scale, that new Russki yacht is is in the same general size class as WWII cruisers (crew ~1000); and is comparable to today’s US Navy Ticonderoga class guided missile cruisers (CG, crew ~500), about the only USN ships bigger are the carriers.
It’s about a 100′ longer than the Navy’s destroyers and frigates, the Arleigh Burke (DDG, active) and Perry (FFG, all struck now) classes.
Traitor tRump and crew probably feel much more ‘at home’ aboard the Russki luxury yacht than on any USN ship.
BTW, tRump previously briefly had his own yacht, the “tRump Princess”, a mere 281′ ship. He bought it (surely borrowed heavily on it) ~1989, used, for only $29 million, got hisself into major financial difficulties (do we have a pattern here?), and had to sell it a year or two later for $20 million, losing his ass as usual.
The vessel appeared in a James Bond movie too (PS: there used to be a separate Wiki entry for the “tRump Princess”, gone now), linky:

Minor correction: the Eclipse is listed at 536′ long, so it’s got about 500′ over my boat; and all I have is an aux dinghy, no helo or sub, dang it (an inflatable ocean liferaft is on the ‘want/need’ list, but $$$2-6K, so…later).
.
15My boat is shaped like a rubber ducky and decorates the bathtub when grandkids are there. What do those guys have in mind with that whoppin’ big floating tank? a portable war?
16Here in landlocked Colorado, I’ve got no boat atall.
I have, however, been sailing – on Lake Dillon.
My ventures on the Great Lakes and the oceans were all aboard motorized craft.
17Hope the intrepid press get lots of “compromat” pics with Trump and Russian contact. That will make my Thanksgiving.
18So if Trump takes a helicopter out to Roman’s yacht and they sail out to international waters, will he be beyond the reach of Mr. Mueller?
19Stranger things have happened.
Vlad has a pad all ready for him. Melania and Barron will have to fend for themselves at Trump Tower. Don Jr. and Eric will wave from the poop deck as they sail off for the Black Sea.
With a tRump on board, it’s all poop decks.
