Trump's press conference with Putin was the most disgusting, disgraceful, humiliating display ever by a U.S. president. I'd like to say it can't get worse, but it can and will as long as Trump is president.
Whether it is wittingly or not -- whether it is deliberate betrayal, rank stupidity, fear of kompromat, or pathetic ego gratification, or some despicable combination of any or all of these factors -- Trump is a Putin puppet.

On the heavier side --
What happened in the press conference, we know about. It has provoked bipartisan outrage, and rightly so.
What we don't know is what happened between Trump and Putin for two hours before that. Nor will we, since we have no witnesses and both of them are corrupt liars.
I am sincerely terrified for my country. I know I'm not alone.

It's not like a couple of dozen Russians haven't been indicted for interfering in our election and were connecting with Americans high up in the Trump campaign...oh, wait.

During the primaries Donald Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue, and people would still vote for him. The problem is, as New York Daily News tells it, is that the someone he shot was Uncle Sam.

LOL* -- Even Russian state TV thinks Trump should have been tougher on Putin:

Buckle up, everyone.
Trump has summoned Rod Rosenstein to the White House this morning. And he has also scheduled a 2pm closed-to-press meeting with members of Congress (it was not on his schedule prior to the Putin meeting).
When questioned last night, both Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress said they did not know the purpose of the meeting.
Here is my guess. Trump agreed with Putin yesterday that Rosenstein and/or Mueller should be fired, that the Russian investigation must end now, and/or (I am betting "and" for both my "and/or"s) the Magnitsky act should be nixed. And today's meetings with Rosenstein and Congress are to set that all in motion.
Or, hey, perhaps he just wants to discuss his electoral victory and Hillary's emails. Again.
Step up, Congress. Step the fuck up with more than tsk-tsking. This is not a game.
ETA:
This sounding promising, Bob, if you'll only stick to it and bring some friends. We just need a handful of you GOP types to join with Dems, take back your authority, and keep our (idiot? traitor? narcissist?) POTUS in check.

A notable defection from a (until now) consistent Trump supporter:

No one is going to jump in to pooh-pooh my passion and say I'm making a big deal out of nothing, or that the summit/press conference was actually an excellent thing and a brilliant 87-dimensional chess move on Trump's part, or that Obama did the same thing and this is just politics as usual, or that it's actually all Nancy Pelosi's fault?
I mean, you'll never convince me of it, but...

You do realize that the national cornhole championships are taking place on ESPN right now, don't you?
