Noticed this pin on former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine Banks last night:

Trump wants Putin to visit Washington, DC, in the fall
The White House said discussions are underway.
 Jul 19, 2018, 6:20pm EDT

Days after US President Donald Trump sparked bipartisan outrage for how he handled his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Finland, Trump has decided to do it all over again in Washington, DC.

On Thursday, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders tweeted that Trump had asked National Security Adviser John Bolton to invite Putin to visit Washington in the fall. She also noted that both countries’ security council staff members were in contact.

This invitation seems to be a sign that Trump is keeping to his goal to get along with Russia and work closely with Putin on — well, something that has yet to be clarified.

let's see...ta invited putin to DC in the fall...maybe to coincide with this $12 million dollar show of force.  Let's see, what else could the US do with $12m? 

Wednesday, July 18, 2018 02:38PM

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump's upcoming military parade is expected to cost $12 million, a U.S. official told ABC News. That official warned that the $12 million figure is a preliminary estimate that could change depending on the size and scope of the event.

The parade is set to take place on Saturday, Nov. 10, 2018, in Washington

Remember that famous song from "Damn Yankees?"


Whatever Putin wants...
Putin gets




And little man bitter Putin wants you



Make up your mind to have...

"...no regrets"               


Recline yourself...                                                                       


...resign yourself

you're through...



I always get what I aim for



And your heart and soul is what I came for


What ever Putin wants...

Putin gets


Take off your coat...

Don't you know you can't win

(you'll never never win)


You're no exception to the rule

I'm irresistible you fool               

Give in

Way too true. And the Religious and other Right are too dense or too calculating to see it.

Putin must think back on those days, and then think how easy he has it now.

Hoping he gets his comeuppance somehow. Both of them.

One of president* Tr☭mp's tweets this morning.


Donald J. Tr☭mp
(@realDonaldTr☭mp)

Inconceivable that the government would
break into a lawyer’s office (early in
the morning) - almost unheard of. Even
more inconceivable that a lawyer would
tape a client - totally unheard of & perhaps
illegal. The good news is that your favorite
President did nothing wrong!



Let's parse this out:

Inconceivable that the government would
break into a lawyer’s office (early in
the morning) - almost unheard of.


I'd agree it would be inconceivable. IF they broke in. They didn't break in. They had a search warrant.
Based on everything we know about Tr☭mp, too, I'm surprised he finds anything inconceivable. And
law enforcement often carries out duties like this in the early morning to catch their targets unaware.
The president* always mentions things that "are unheard of" or asks "did you know that" or similar.
He doesn't realize that just because he's uninformed that everyone else is not.


Even more inconceivable that a lawyer would
tape a client - totally unheard of & perhaps
illegal.


Not totally unheard of. Maybe by Tr☭mp, but there's so many things he's never heard of.
As for being illegal? The president’s* complaint about being recorded is immaterial, since
New York is a “one-party consent” state, meaning that only one member of a conversation
must consent to a recording to clear the legal threshold.


The good news is that your favorite
President did nothing wrong!


Now this is absolutely true. My favorite President did not do anything wrong.
(Although, I have stated many times before that on hindsight every President
one likes isn't as spotless as we might have thought they were and every one
we disliked isn't as bad. Though I amend that in the case of the current one.
I'll find him worse. There is a book out titled: It's Even Worse Than You Think.")
