It’s The Money
We now know that Trump Had A Second Secret Meeting With Putin At The G-20. This second meeting was Putin, Putin’s translator, and Trump – a situation that violates national security protocols and is terminally stupid. He obviously doesn’t want any Americans to sit in on the meeting with his loan manager.
Charlie Pierce declares that it’s the money as the eighth person at Junior’s meeting was Irakly Kaveladze, Vice President of ZAO Crocus International.
Kaveladze is a senior vice president at Crocus Group, the real estate development company run by Azerbaijani-Russian oligarch Aras Agalarov, according to Kaveladze’s LinkedIn. His personal website says he “holds responsibility for multiple elements of the company’s Russian development project.”
Natalia Veselnitskaya is an ethnic Russian, Rinat Akhmetshin is a Tatar, Kaveladze is a Georgian, the Agalarov family is Azerbaijani, so a Soviet, rather than Russian party. Kaveladze says that he only went to translate for Ms Veselnitskaya, who arrived with her own translator [GRU certified, no doubt]. Akhmetshin said he had a lunch date and just sort of tagged along. Things like this were really funny when the Marx Brothers did them…
Update: The translator was Anatoli Samochornov, an ethnic Russian.

Next up, we find that the Red Army Choir provided the intermission entertainment….
How big a conference room was this, anyhow? Sounds like they needed a frickin’ auditorium!
(Cue sad laughter.)
Obviously “YUUUGE!”, like everything Trump. 😈
Speaking of Money… I came across this item… Seems Trump isn’t the only one with no clue about the law & rules! But we know the GOP don’t think they apply to them. Your local lunatics are in the news again, but you’ve probably seen this already. 🙂
Rubio, Nelson, Wasserman Schultz Want to Make It a Felony to Boycott Israel
Has anyone in the GOP ever read the Constitution? I mean, if you’re going to ignore or break it, one should at least read it first! *shrug*
😆 😆
Update from politico (pretty much what we all thought after his latest interview/tweetstorm)!
Trump’s public Russia comments could cause legal headaches for him — and his kids
An this is the GOP scraping the bottom of the barrel so hard, they made it to China! This buffoon makes many in the GOP seem almost intelligent! And the news is, he’s tipped to be the new WH Communications Director (Which in itself, given the shitstorm, shows what a moron he is!)
Trump Adviser Turns the Anti-Science Up to 11
Rubio is a Repub, but Bill Nelson and Debbie are Democrats. They can all go to hell for protecting school and hospital bombers.
Yes. I agree. I wish there was a hell for them, and so many deserving others, to spend eternity. *shrug*
Trump finds more rules to break, with help from the Boy Scouts of America:
Trump’s Speech to the Boy Scouts May Have Broken Boy Scout Rules
As usual Trump broke the rules by giving a political speech at a non-political event. He did the same thing at the national prayer breakfast, so why not the Boy Scout jamboree. Rules and norms and laws don’t apply to Trump, according to Trump,
