Make normalization and rationalization an Olympic event

If normalization and rationalization were made Olympic events this guy could compete and win the gold medal.

He is a clear example of how Trump did not go out and find the best people to put in the senior cabinet positions. He's a non-entity. A nothing. I'm sure he gets little respect from the thousands of people that work for him that are professionals.

We are watching our experiment in democracy come to an embarrassing end. All democracies ultimately commit suicide. What I was not expecting was our end to be quite so soon and so utterly Kafkaesque.

Either he is being blackmailed or delivering on a quid pro quo deal

It seems blatantly obvious that Trump is either being blackmailed or is delivering the goods after Putin helped put him in office.

I have observed him throughout the entire campaign and now throughout his entire presidency and he has never once said anything even vaguely negative about Russia or Putin. He has pretty much trashed everybody else at one point or another.

Just think about Putin's priorities…

Making NATO an uneasy alliance would be number one if he is planning on a territory grab. There are plenty of indications that he is planning on doing exactly that.

He is looming over Ukraine. And there is a increasing evidence that he has designs on some of the other territories that abut Russia such as Latvia and Lithuania.

Putin also desperately needs us to drop the sanctions. The sanctions are impeding a lot of really lucrative oil and gas deals. Our secretary of state probably stands to profit if the Russian sanctions are lifted.

This is truly sickening. I never thought that I would see an American president so beholden to a foreign power. But I can't ignore the evidence that my eyes are seeing.

I'm very surprised that no one in the media has pointed out how Trump's NATO speech helps advance Putin's ambitions. I was very unsurprised to see this trial balloon go aloft the day after such a strange and discordant speech.

Remember the kompromat that the Russians supposedly possess.

Burn!

This is what happens when you show yourself to be a complete clown and no one around the world has any respect for you.

Bet Kim Jong Un won't meet with him either.

The Dealmaker gets pawned again.

Let's see how Spicer spins this.
