We can ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS count on every public performance to be a completely embarrassing butt show. I don't know what else to call it. I feel that his public stupidity is like he drops his trousers, turns around and moons American traditions and values.

So ok with me if he shows America that he is a dirty filthy traitor.

DNI Dan Coats just said at #AspenSecurity forum that it was a bad idea to allow Kislyak & other Russian officials into the Oval Office last year. This whole interview is remarkable.

...so they can interfere with the election directly. Can this idea be any more transparent?

OK, Media.....it is your turn. Stick together. Repeatedly ask Trump surrogates:

1) "What is the hurry? Trump just met with him in Helsinki in July. How many other world leaders do you meet with at 3-4 month intervals?"

2) "With all to the turmoil about Russian interference in our 2016 election, WHY would you ask him to visit during our 2018 election?"

3) "Will you be taking Putin to Mar-a-Lago, so you can complete you election-interference agenda... in private?

Be aware of which Republicans support the visit. Clearly, this is an unnecessary visit, unless the purpose is to mess with the election.
