Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be invited to address a joint session of the U.S. Congress if he visits Washington in autumn, the top Republican in the House of Representatives said on Tuesday, adding that privilege is reserved for allies.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said he didn't have a problem with U.S. President Donald Trump sitting down with Putin.

"What I think matters is the message and if the message is stop meddling in our country, stop violating our sovereignty, then I support that," Ryan told reporters. "But it's the message that counts."


We would certainly not be giving him an invitation to do a joint session," Ryan added. "That's something we reserve for allies."

3. Putin does not need to yet. Selected members fly to Russia. Second wave of Senators going in August?

6. They all will make their pilgrimage. Moscow is better anyway. No prying eyes, no pesky reporters

and plenty of very, very nice Russian hookers

7. Yeah, for now

Like the military parade was canceled until it was not.

So, yes, little Putin will be invited to talk if the RepubliCONS are still in control of Congress.

And little Putin will get to fly the Russian flag in Our Nation's capital if RepubiliCONS have their way....
