Is anyone buying into this theater?

I'd call my attitude about Trump and this whole things with Russia might be at an all time nonsense low dubious at best.

There's a reason Tillerson dumped his press pool today. And it's because this is all phony as hell. A $7 bill has more value.

Who knows the the real reason he does anything but IMHO this is all so he can flex his "muscle" and resolve the "conflict". That way he can claim it as a win and his supporters will slurp it down and ask for seconds.

It's all bs. They're wagging the dog.

2. I'm suspicious about it all. I say it's all "trumped up" BS.

Family doesn't agree with me.

3. The idea that Putin wouldn't meet with Tillerson was laughable.

Meeting with Putin was the WHOLE IDEA, not just of the trip, but of Tillerson being named SecState. Vlad's oil is under the Arctic ice. Rex is there to help get it out. Nothing else matters.

4. Not at all.

But if the Russia investigation leads to something serious, I think he might do something really stupid to distract and drag us into a war.

5. Nope

Smoke and mirrors. This is all a bunch of bullshit and a show to try and throw people off.

6. It's theater, all right, and, no, not buying any of it.

7. PLEASE link to where Tillerson dumped his press pool

Fb friend smugly claims (brags) that Tillerson has his press pool

8. Nope. It's a phony act.

9. No. It's all staged. nt

10. No, it's all a con job for fake headlines.

Now Tillerson can pretend he's trying to ease tensions with Russia, probably requiring the sanctions to be lifted or some such favor, but it was really planned all along. It's all phony as hell and very transparent.

11. Trump cannot stand rivals or opposition.

He is entirely a creature of impulse and desire. There is no plan and despite his protests he is easily manipulated. Bannon, Alt-right, Russia, Putin, China currency manipulation are so yesterday. Today he loves NATO, Xi, the dollar is too strong, establishment Republicans. Trump wants you to forget his treason he is flipping to a new con. No one should ever trust him or what he says.....Trump is deranged.

12. It's impossible to view this admin with too much cynicism

14. +1, the people who surround themselves by white supremacist spokesperson denies Hitler gassed Jews

... on Passover.

Yes it was on purpose but the M$M gives them the benefit of the doubt which they do NOT deserve at all.

[tavalon]

13. I haven't bought a single thing this maladministration has put out

I'm skeptical by nature.

16. Nor do I believe anything is gonna happen the US and NK

At least nothing imminent since it's being reported Pence is heading to Seoul this week. I doubt he would be heading to a potential Ground Zero (with his family in tow)....

And I sure as hell don't believe drumf and Putin are no longer BFF's. It's a dog and pony show for his low information deplorables base to make it look like he and his klan don't have Russian connection$. This planned distraction should be even more reason for the investigation to go full steam ahead!
