"Geez, Get A Room Boys"

First lady sent in to end Trump-Putin meeting
BY JOSH DELK - 07/07/17 02:23 PM EDT

First lady Melania Trump was sent in to try and end the meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit, which had run significantly long, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Friday.

U.S. officials sent in the first lady to end the scheduled 30-minute meeting when it had run for more than an hour. Melania was unsuccessful, and the meeting ended up running for 2 hours and 16 minutes.

"Several times I had to remind the president, people were sticking their heads in the door," Tillerson said according to the Washington Examiner. "They even sent in the first lady at one point to see if she could get us out of there, and that didn't work either. ... We went another hour after she came in to see us, so clearly, she failed."

4. I wonder if the meeting included refreshment - vodka, ginger beer, and some lime juice.

A Moscow Mule - in Donald's honor.



ok - maybe not that funny but it's all I can think about when I see this cartoon. Thanks for post this (and all the other you do on a regular basis). Always a painful chuckle in them somewhere.

8. Please stop insulting Trump by insinuating he's gay.

He isn't, we don't want him, and I'm tired of being treated as acceptable collateral damage in the "anything goes" as an insult to Trump.

Using gay as an insult inherently treats being gay as bad.

(Neither your title, nor the cartoon, came from the article you linked to, so you chose to bring sexuality in to use as an insult.)
