1. too soon to ask for a second date! looks desperate!

[jcgoldie]

22. Nice

[Leghorn21]

32. +++!!!

Well done, un!!

[blueinredohio]

2. There should be a HUGE protest over this.

[Vinca]

3. Millions of people need to take to the streets.

[pangaia]

51. WHERE are the millions of people? About ALL of this...?

[DUgosh]

55. I bought poster board last Monday

I’ll be ready

[Corgigal]

58. Millions take to the runway.

Go around, cause your treason train buddy isn't welcomed here.

[riversedge]

6. I will join any protest in the area. Might have to stand on the corner by

myself. We will see

[PatSeg]

10. This might be the biggest protest yet

[LisaM]

4. I don't think Trump is reading the room very well.

Just my opinion, but.....

[oberliner]

7. Alternatively, he is doing this on purpose

To get a reaction.

[Auggie]

13. I believe it. It was a tactic endorsed by Steve Bannon in early 2017.

[oberliner]

31. Makes sense

Probably was also pissed with the Coats interview on TV.

[bettyellen]

35. I think it's more like he had no choice in the matter. I used to think maybe it was all for future

profit and not really bad blackmail. Now I’m certain it’s really really bad blackmail.

[JeaneRaye]

5. Piece of Slime.

That POS should never be aloud to step foot into the White House.... and neither should have Trump. Also a POS.

[TygrBright]

8. WHAT. THE. FUCK. n/t

[PSPS]

9. Let me guess. Will this coincide with trump's soviet-style military parade?

[kwassa]

11. Probably. Der Fuhrer will get to posture and pose.

[PSPS]

15. Did I please you today, president putin? I hope my parade pleased you.

I sincerely hope you found my service to be satisfactory and hope that you and your mob buddies will continue to patronize the trump organization. You are our most best customer! Maybe we'll be friends one day. I hope so.

[kwassa]

33. maybe Trump is Mussolini to Putin's Hitler.

[erronis]

12. You beat me to it. I'm assuming pute will be airlifting in lots of tanks/etc.

to make the dump's parade more imperial looking.

Question is: who (dump/pute) will stand in front of the other? Or does that depend on who's shafting whom?

[Pachamama]

14. OMFG!!!!! Why doesn't he just have him come on Nov 6th and move into White House????

[colorado_ufo]

16. Why not? I think half of Russia is already here.

When the pResident gives him a state dinner, the Russian guests will only have the expense of calling a limo.

[Cryptoad]

17. The Trumpster is needing,,,,,

a major deflection event right before the Mid terms........!

[LuckyLib]

39. This is it. Designed to keep him front and center.

[SergeStorms]

41. Kabuki theater?

A marked and choreographed Kabuki Theater scene so Trump can appear "tough" on Putin? As ridiculous as it sounds, it may just be something they'd try right before the elections. Little Donnie and Vlad work out a play where Little Donnie accuses Putin of "doing America wrong", and Putin sulks and cowers before the almighty and powerful Little Donnie? I certainly wouldn't put something like that past Little Donnie and Putin, just to keep the charade going (and State secrets coming) for Putin.

[exboyfil]

53. Ten or twenty years after Trump is done

Someone like Andrew Lloyd Weber is going to make a musical on this travesty.

[SergeStorms]

59. In all probability....

I'll be deceased by then. It's about time I caught a break regarding Trump!

[Solly Mack]

18. SMH

I need a toke or 20.

[Astraea]

19. Trump doubles down

in a bid to make treason seem normal

[jmbar2]

20. Massive protests!

I will march.

[OnlinePoker]

21. Can he be arrested for the illegal war in Crimea? n/t

[oberliner]

23. By whom?

[Corgigal]

24. By all means, come.

CIA. Steam heat then a 2-fer.

If Trump even is in the White House by fall.

[oberliner]

25. In what scenario is Trump not in the White House this fall?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Resignation, or all that cholesterol catching up with him.

[oberliner]

29. He won't resign

Can't speak to the impact of the cholesterol.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Will it be before the elections, or after - for the Big Parade?

[oberliner]

28. Is the parade still scheduled for Veterans Day?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. Last I heard.

[kwassa]

34. Trump and Putin will meet at a Trump International golf resort.

or Mar Y Lago.

[palustris]

36. It's just a distraction

This is just an old trick of Trump to shift attention from his submissiveness during the summit.

People are going to be outraged. But they will be talking about the 'upcoming' meeting and how ludicrous it is to invite Putin rather than the weakness Trump showed last weekend.

Then, as people are getting more upset, Fox News, Breitbart, etc. will polarize the outrage to solidify Trump base back against 'liberals'.

By now people should be able to see through his tricks.

[oberliner]

37. Everyone is still talking about his submissiveness during the summit

At least on CNN and MSNBC.

[palustris]

38. Good

It's going to upset Trump a lot if this attempt doesn't work.

[renegade000]

40. Trying to get his rich daddy to get him out of trouble again... n/t

[KY_EnviroGuy]

42. Will they play Hail to the Chief on the tarmac? n/t

........... ........

[orleans]

43. SLUMBER PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rhiannon12866]

44. Stephen Colbert said this is like asking your burglar to set up your home security system.

[Totally Tunsie]

45. This "administration" gets worse by the day.

There is no bottom.

[duforsure]

46. They are lying and I doubt this

It was putin wanting to come here , to see what he's paying for and getting for his money from trump and the republicans in congress. And this was for positive pr for trump to use then lift sanctions from.

[oberliner]

47. What do you doubt?

[Orsino]

48. Is he admitting to having done so yet?

Because I can totally see him telling someone else to do it.

[riversedge]

49. Bolton is all in with Putin now-just like his boss

[ck4829]

50. Just wow

[PJMcK]

52. This is confusing

Two posts away from yours, oberliner, is news that Putin won't meet with Trump this fall because "it's too soon."

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142117803

Which is it?

[exboyfil]

54. Both you have read 1984

haven't you? Doublethink.

1984 should be on every high schoolers reading list this fall.

[OregonBlue]

56. I'm confused. This is dated 7/19. Is it even current?

[Grammy23]

57. tRump must be confused. Putin gave him a soccer ball,

Not a rose. 🌹
