    President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting, one day after dismissing FBI director Comey.

    Trump’s admission that his decision to fire Comey was driven by “this Russia thing” was seen by critics as attempted obstruction of justice. Michael Flynn was dismissed as National Security Adviser for lying about his contacts with Kislyak

    Trump welcomed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak — a key figure in his Russia scandals — into the Oval Office and revealed to them information considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from U.S. allies, and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government.

    After Trump’s meeting, senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and the National Security Agency.

    U.S. officials said that the National Security Council continues to prepare multi-page briefings for Trump to guide him through conversations with foreign leaders, but that he has insisted that the guidance be distilled to a single page of bullet points — and often ignores those.

    A Russian photographer took photos of part of the session that were released by the Russian state-owned Tass news agency. No U.S. news organization was allowed to attend any part of the meeting.

    Shouldn’t Putin be bare-chested?

    The Trump Corporation has been used for years to launder money coming out of Russia, that’s his whole business model, laundering money for sanctioned governments and drug lords. Of course Putin has the receipts for his dealings with the Russian oligarchs, as well as pictures of Trump in many compromising embarrassing positions and recordings of Trump and his campaign working with Russians strategizing on how to win an election. Can it be any wonder that our President can’t bite the hand that got him elected. GOP, Government of Putin…

    It would be fitting if Putin had spurs on. So appropriate.

    The thing Trump most admires about Putin — besides the money — is his ability to have journalists and other opponents disappear or die under tragic and mysterious circumstances.

    Money is Trump’s sole structure for existence. He’s not really a good businessman so he needs constant shore-ups of his finances. So….Russia bought themselves a stooge on spec that he’d take the White House. And he did. End of story. Of course, the mental overlay for Trump is that he knows how to bully people (enabled by the people around him who know how to actually DO things) so he must know EVERYTHING and that’s why he SHOULD be President.

    The republicans knew – and happily voted for this. They will vote to continue this in 2018 and 2020. It is up to anyone who isn’t a republican to vote otherwise, if you want this situation to be corrected. If you want our Russian puppet to continue as he has been, don’t show up – or go vote for him!

    Anyone else who actually loves AMERICA and wants to be a PATRIOT, go register to vote, and then cast your vote in primaries and caucuses. Then go vote in every election you can – while you still are allowed.
