Buttina was Thumbelina’s less-attractive sister.

When I first heard the story, my first draft called her Maria Butinski. Glad i double checked.

What Trump did isn't something he could "correct," even if he wanted to, which he doesn't. What say you, John Kelly?? Sarah Sanders??

I have a feeling Sarah Sanders is going to cancel tomorrow's press conference. Anyone want to take that bet?

Havent heard about McConnell but Ryan haza sadz.

I'm guessing this throws a big, ole wrench into Jim Jordan's Impeach Rosenstein thing.

Washington Post article from today:

Maria Butina, Russian gun rights advocate, charged in U.S. with acting as Russian Federation agent

An article from Mother Jones from last spring:

Since this isn't Mueller's collar, Ms Butina needs her own thread. I don't know if the posts in the Mueller thread need to be moved or do we start from scratch?

I'm not married to this title. Suggestions gladly accepted.

I couldn't tell if this was Mueller or another division in the DOJ but they arrested a Russian spy yesterday who was working with the NRA. I look forward to someone deciphering this for me, (and moving it if it's in the wrong thread). https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/russian-national-charged-conspirac...

"Incredible offer"

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

I've been in no mood to be f*cked with since I crawled out of bed today. I went to the bookstore to handle the weekly bookkeeping, stopped by my favorite, authentic taco shop for lunch where they know me well. CBS was on the only tv and they were covering snips of the press conference with the panel...

First I couldn't bear to watch him speak live. Then I couldn't take him in short video or audio clips. That disgust soon encompassed even written statements. Now I can't bring myself to read his tweets.

WTH am I doing here?

I want this smug SoB indicted so bad I can taste it.

Just my petty opinion because I'm so angry this morning I can't see straight, but who else thinks Trump's hairdresser* is weaving in extensions these days? We've all made jokes about a toupee for years, but that damn thing is growing.

*not sure if the correct term is hairdresser or illusionist.

All I know is every day my stomach churns worse than the day before. I'm going back to the political depression thread.

Yeah, Putin always looks more dapper than Donald looks in those leisure suits. Surely good tovarishes Vladimir Vladimirovich and Donald Fredovich will find an opportunity to go topless bareback riding as Putin loves? Oh wait, I see the image has already been created a couple years back: https://www...

I put some background articles about the Trump/Putin "summit" in the Russia thread, but here is another: “An Amateur Boxer Up Against Muhammad Ali”: Washington Fears Trump Will Be No Match for Putin in Helsinki :snippity: https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-trumps-washington/an-amateur-boxer...

I wonder if anyone has bothered to try to explain to Trump that the RNC was also hacked and they have no idea what Putin plans to do with the emails.

I mean, what's the point. Trump will just lie anyway.

It would be his crowning achievement, and makes a helluva lot more sense than anything else I've seen.

Financial crimes can also be state crimes. Especially in New York where the Trump Crime Family and the Trump Crime Organization operate. What would be really nice would be indictments of the Trump Crime Family in state court at the same time the co-conspirators with the GRU officers are indicted in...

I agree. There is no atrocity Trump would sign that Pence couldn't also sign but without the additional embarrassment of Trump's behavior.

WTF? The European NATO allies already back in 2014(?) agreed to increase their parts with a target date of 2024 (?). Rambling dotus may have accelerated this a bit but it was not his doing. Would it be acceptable for thos pipeline $$$ going to the US if they were able to the energy resources? How d...

All Trump had to read (or hear) was "your excellency" and he rolled over like a puppy. Played like a crappy, 1/2 size kids violin.

Can't wait to see the late night tv hosts opening monologues.

Well, I've been to strip clubs (I'm female BTW) yet know nothing about how they get paid. I'm amazed how much people who have never been to one know about the subject.

Try not to hurl but, IMO, the gray is more attractive than that god-awful shoe polish look he's been sporting.

Now back to my regularly scheduled disgust for the whole shebang.
