Someone should stop Trump from meeting with Putin.

I don't know why his advisors are not sweating this one out. Now that Putin's secret is out in the street why is Trump so confidant that everything is going to remain copacetic? Like it or not, our wagons are hitched to Trump and if something bad happens to him it means we would have to retaliate.

For our country's sake, we should keep those two apart.

2. Yes, but he'll take us down with him, and our country is too divided to come together

in an effective manner. The war-mongers in Congress will just take over. Never mind that they're the idiots that got us where we are today.

3. How would you suggest that be done, and by whom?

There really isn't any way to stop him if he insists on doing it - short of sedating him and bundling him back to D.C.

What are you talking about? Trump is carrying his laundry. Destroying Nato.. weakening American alliances all over the world. For people like Putin its a zero sum game... weak America equals strong Russia. Trump is his golden goat. Don't worry about little Donnie. He's completely a made man.

If we all understand that Trump is Putin's boy, then, is it possible that an unfriendly party could do something to make it look like it was Putin's hand? Who would benefit from the US fighting Russia?

Since Putin has bought and paid for the entire Republican Party minus John McCain it seems.

But seriously. Not a chance. He's they're Siberian Candidate. Putin will be getting even more concessions out of him.

If he cannot persuade his president of such dangers, he is the wrong man for the job. Also, time for Kelly to go.

What a humbling experience this job must have been for him. Finds out that he gets stripped of privileges his rank affords him in the military. No one falls for the poor excuse that you can't question a military officer's word. Shit, the things they get away with in retired life with that excuse should stain their military service.

And, poor Kelly. He gets to listen to Trump's idiotic dribbling at breakfast and his face gestures are explained away to the poor menu offers of fine jams and jellies and the assorted pastries.

How can he ever lift his head up again?
