1. But didnt Pence also NOT show up for veterans on that day?

Yes, they both skipped it.

The reason is their boss, Putin, has ordered them to get us used to NOT respecting our veterans our history or our country.

I know that sounds out there, it isnt.

2. I could be wrong but isn't Pence at that Asia Summit that trump* skipped out on?

Don't remember where I heard/read about that, but that might be the reason.

3. Could be. I know , I dont think, I know the KGB

and Putin have their hands all over the GOP and far more than we realize.

I know, I dont think, the KGB is all over our social media and message boards influencing us with subtle messages.

I know, I dont think, the KGB has infiltrated certain political segments of our society and in some cases where we would NOT expect them, which is the very definition of covert spy activities.

Putin doesnt want a democracy, anywhere, to have power or influence over him or over anyone or anything.

To that end he is doing stuff we dont yet know about.

But we will, lets hope we pay attention.

ps I refuse to use the new name putin gave the KGB so we would think they werent doing the EXACT same things they did when he was KGB...

12. Trying to

change his stripes, but it's still a tiger. In his case a devout ex-KGB.

4. Trump was angry and depressed that he lost the house.

He's hating EVERYONE right now - democrats, republicans, Mueller, Sessions, Macron, etc.

Pretending to be a compassionate human being is hard work for an aging, demented psychopath, so rather than give a half-assed effort, Trump stayed in and attacked the right-wing boogeyman California on Twitter.

6. Well, another way to look at it ... in the rain, truly his hair would have come undone and droopy.

No hats allowed. If you've seen the photo of him without the orange array and presumably before the skin redo on his bald pate, it is pretty gross. Imagine the optics of his hair going its own way...his and the squirrel's hair. I mean, maybe we were spared. Better an international faux pas than international shock and ridicule.

7. This may not be 100% real ...

8. Ha....just recently saw this one...scary. The other one he had no long hair

at all. It was just a normal bald head with the gray side hair. What a real bald person looks like. Looks like it was about 10 years old.

9. Maybe he should ask Madame Tussaud's techs to make him an all-weather wig?

Not fake news:

Donald Trump’s Wax Figure Hair Is Actually Made Out of Yak and Squirrel"

Madame Tussauds in London unveiled President-elect Donald Trump’s wax figure Wednesday, the culmination of five months of work, CNN reports. The museum made four replicas of the figure: the original will remain in London while the rest were shipped to New York, Orlando, and Washington, D.C., and will arrive in time for Trump’s inauguration Friday.

According to Mashable, it took 20 artists and about $185,000 to get the figure done. Chief sculptor David Gardner told CNN he was “lucky enough to get some measurements from a sitting we had in 1997 at the Trump towers,” so building his body out wasn’t an issue. In fact, nailing the essence of Trump for his waxwork was easy “because of his character. It was almost as far as doing a caricature and bringing it back.”

It was Trump’s hair that was more problematic for stylists. For those who don’t know, Donald Trump’s hair has been a lacquered yellow-orange helmet molded to his head for as long as he’s been a public figure. Madame Tussauds was forced to call outside consultants (including a stylist from The Apprentice) to help recreate it.

Oh, and: "His hair is a mixture of human hair and yak hair. We use yak hair with people with white hair because human hair is not readily available," hairstylist Kelly Cox said. Also, his eyebrows are made of squirrel hair.

Main surprise to me was that it wasn't moose and squirrel.

11. He's having a nervous breakdown in prime time

That press conference, the day after the elections showed he experiencing a psychriatic crisis event. The trip to the ww 1 event and he blew it! I love the criticism and blowback he is getting for not attending the event. He’s cracking and but I’m not looking forward to the final breakdown.
