1. Ahhh, no reporters AGAIN! So the Con can say he said anything to Vlad and there will

be nobody to confirm or deny.

2. Don't worry. I'm sure we will get pics from the Russian government.

[tanyev]

13. I predict it will look a lot like this.

3. Honestly I can't believe that a US president is behaving in such a wildly sycophantic manner

towards Putin et al., over and over again, and we are enduring this humiliation in front of the world. Everyone knows that Russia helped Trump get elected, and then his "cute" little meetings with the Russians (as when he posed happily in the Oval Office with the Russians while our own media was kept out) just keep rubbing our faces in it in front of the world.

His behavior is just shocking for a president -- we've never had a president that so blatantly and openly degraded the country. Honestly his behavior towards the Russians is so OBVIOUSLY out of line -- it is so blatant.

4. He needs Putin to help him win again...

so never holding Putin accountable

[Nevernose]

12. I don't think elections have anything to do with it

Trump craves approval, and Trump especially craves approval from strong men.

It's transparently, fantastically obvious how WEAK Trump is on almost every possible level. A guy like that would kiss Putin's ass in a heartbeat.

5. Trump has a gift for his new bestie

[Laf.La.Dem.]

6. I hope he can not find car to get to meeting!

[MineralMan]

9. What?!? They forgot to book cars, too?

[MineralMan]

7. Six people and 256 bugs.

As always, I advise Trump not to eat or drink anything offered by the Russians.

However, when I first saw your post, I thought it said six people to a room in the last minute accommodations for the Trump entourage.

8. Well, we know who the smartest man in the room is not.

[Eliot Rosewater]

10. Imagine Obama or Hillary meeting in secret with anybody, let alone this prick.

We are so past any chance of being saved, fixed, it aint funny.

11. When the leaks start.....

it'll be easier to track it down

[Mr. Ected]

15. So they decided to leave Fiona Hill out of it

Figures. No one there to stand up to Putin. No expert in Russian policy in the room.

What is this, a Coup Family Reunion?

16. Senate Intel Committee should call Tillerson to testify immediately.

And find out what they talked about? We cannot have a government that deals in secret with our adversaries.
