http://www.rawstory.com/2017/07/clearly-she-failed-tillerson-says-melania-was-sent-in-repeatedly-to-break-up-trump-putin-meeting/First Lady Melania Trump was dispatched to break up the meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin when it ran over its allotted 30 minutes.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told reporters however that the two men ignored her and kept talking for another hour, the Washington Examiner said Friday.
Several times I had to remind the president, people were sticking their heads in the door, the former Exxon-Mobil CEO said at a press briefing after the meeting. They even sent in the first lady at one point to see if she could get us out of there, and that didnt work either. We went another hour after she came in to see us, so clearly she failed.

When the hell was a First Lady ever sent in to Break up a meeting? Not to mention she was ignored...
We are so fucking screwed. Republicans had help from Russia to take control of this country. It was a freakin' coup.

I expect to be glued to Du when something actually happens that looks like change of course for the country... meaning that the whole cabal of crooks is ousted from our halls of governance. Meanwhile, I'll do my best to not go off the deep end while trying to end my homelessness.

(10,749 posts)If so, the SoS was unable to keep things on track? Pretty much shows him to be ineffectual.
If Tillerson was not present, then this was a meeting between an intelligence asset and his handler.

tRUMP has let the Fox in the hen house now with regard to sharing cyber security. Of all the friggin things to NOT get involved with Putin and Russia cyber security tops the list.
F me.
