We need to talk about Donald – the Nightmare continues

[pErvinalia]

Looks like 42 might have got control of Trump's twitter account. He's been doing the "but what about Hillary" red herring. It's all so unfair. Poor Donald.

So Putin offered asylum to Comey. I wonder if he'd offer the same gesture to Donald. And I watched the Putin-call yesterday. The offer was very serious, not sarcastic at all. He said it "It is important that Comey understands this: we shall take him like we took Snowden".

That's an interesting double bluff. It suggests to me that Putin's keen to embarress and confuse the US by any means possible, as it surely amounts to a hollow offer intended to frame Comey domestically in the same kind of context as Snowden - as an implicit traitor.

Anyhoo, Trump's chums continue to disseminate and lie with or without Putin's encouragement ...

Lobbyist for Russian interests says he attended dinners hosted by Sessions

An American lobbyist for Russian interests who helped craft an important foreign policy speech for Donald Trump has confirmed that he attended two dinners hosted by Jeff Sessions during the 2016 campaign, apparently contradicting the attorney general’s sworn testimony given this week....

Haven't got round to the Oliver Stone interview with Putin but people say this is the real deal and a must-see.

I think it can be summed up thus: Hey, Vladimir's just a guy, you know, just a guy...

Some very inspirational stuff said:
"To be on the brink of bankruptcy and to be bankrupt are two different things."
"The important thing is not to have lots of power but to be able to exercise whatever power you have."

He's trolling the Americans.

There was one American who called and said: "I know that Russia is not our enemy but how do I persuade my countrymen who believe the opposite?" Putin war very touched.

OK people, we can't guarantee your safety if you were both dumb enough to vote for Trump AND still wear the hat or shirt. Just shut up till 2020 while in public. You can vote for any other Republican then and we will be fine.

Kayla happened to be wearing a Donald Trump t-shirt when she walked into the coffee shop on East Boulevard in the Dilworth neighborhood.

She tells Fox 46 the cashier took one look at her t-shirt and laughed. She also noticed her order was labeled with a political message – mocking her support of the president.

Instead of her name, the cashier wrote, “Build A Wall.”

“They shouted out, ‘Build a Wall’ and shoved a drink at me and then all the baristas in the back started cracking up laughing,” she said.

As you might imagine, it was a bit embarrassing for Kayla – whose only offense was to spend her hard-earned money at a far-left coffee house like Starbucks.

“I don’t know what politics has to do with getting a cup of coffee,” she told our Fox television affiliate.

Well, these days the mere mention of President Trump’s name can roast a barista’s beans faster than you can say, “Make America Great Again.”

The irony of the criminal investigation into Donald Trump
06/15/17 08:00 AM—UPDATED 06/15/17 08:09 AM
By Steve Benen
Donald Trump has spent much of his presidency obsessing over whether he’s personally under investigation as part of the probe into his Russia scandal. Ironically, the president’s focus grew so intense, he may have taken actions that put him under investigation.
For his part, the president whined a bit on Twitter this morning, but Trump also did not deny that after five months in office, he’s facing a criminal investigation.
