I read what I type there, and I realize I am not exaggerating, I get really fucking angry when I read that which I just typed.

That is the problem with us patriots.

the US press having been kept in the dark.

http://wjla.com/news/nation-world/photos-of-trump-meeting-with-lavrov-released-by-russian-government-not-white-house

"The first photos of President Donald Trump's meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to be made public came from the Russian government, not the White House.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs tweeted a photo of Trump and Lavrov shaking hands in the Oval Office. The Russian Embassy followed on Twitter with a photo of Trump smiling as he shook hands with Sergey Kislyak, Russia's ambassador in Washington. Kislyak has been a key figure in investigations of alleged ties between Trump associates and the Russian government.

The White House barred the news media from Trump's meeting with Lavrov. The only photographers in the room were the official White House photographer and a photographer from Tass, a state-run news agency. Journalists typically cover portions of meetings between the president and heads of state or government. But it's not uncommon for meetings with lower-level officials to occur without press coverage.

Journalists were later allowed into the Oval Office and found Trump sitting alone with Henry Kissinger, who was national security adviser and secretary of state in the Nixon and Ford administrations."

he gave them classified Israeli intel, which still infuriates me, and he should have been impeached just based on that. I mean, wtf.

El Trumpo initiated the phone call.

Obviously he was looking for guidance.

Putin installed him in the Oval Office and Putin is the entity to whom he must respond. He does not recognize any obligation to us, much less have an obligation to listen.

Trump is a partisan political prostitute and he was calling in to his (Russian Pimp) Putin on his progress to sell his ass (USA) out ..... The Russian/German banks are into his ass for 750 million $$$$ in loans for his Trump properties... We as Americans are going to need a lot of "lube" before it over.....
