“And what was really stunning to me as someone who has been in a lot of these press conferences was a few things that were very unusual,” she said.

“You had Putin come out and address the press first. We are on U.S. soil here. And that left the media scrambling to get their headsets in. Usually, it is the leader of the country — the host country of a summit that speaks first and addresses. Putin started off in Russian. And we all had to get our heads set on and listen to him rattle off the diatribe about the history of the U.S. and Russia.”

      Nah, I genuinely think this is just the sea change of the Grand Old Fascists dropping Trump. Mainstream talk has been ramping up about how old he is with no apparent pushback. And now they’re testing out actively criticizing him to their fanatics.

    He who drinks with the enemy while his ally bleeds is no hero but a fool. You grant him honor while he seeks to burn your and your ally’s home. No word of peace holds meaning while his sword is still raised against those who stand with you.
