Sounds like it could be a song by Little Feat (think “Fat Man In The Bathtub”)
We have a wealth of speculation going on in the media after the Putin-Trump press conference……basically the MSM has lost its mind over the presser……I will say that if they want this speculation to stop then let the interpreter testify before Congress.
Russia has become the scapegoat for everything wrong in the world….there is little doubt that they meddled in the election…..and yes they invaded Crimea and shot down an airplane……and I am sure that I forgot a couple of other so-called digressions……my point is that Trump and Putin are talking which at the best of times would be a good thing but with the president I am NOT so sure how good it will be…..
But since the presser and the babbling that Trump gave as answers to direct questions the media has been losing its mind……
The reaction of the U.S. establishment media and several political leaders to President Donald Trump’s press conference after his summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday has been stunning.
Writing in The Atlantic, James Fallows said:
“There are exactly two possible explanations for the shameful performance the world witnessed on Monday, from a serving American president.
Either Donald Trump is flat-out an agent of Russian interests—maybe witting, maybe unwitting, from fear of blackmail, in hope of future deals, out of manly respect for Vladimir Putin, out of gratitude for Russia’s help during the election, out of pathetic inability to see beyond his 306 electoral votes. Whatever the exact mixture of motives might be, it doesn’t really matter.

I admit that I think that talking is a good thing….however the answers given to direct questions leaves room for so much speculation and the media is only doing what is always doing speculating.
I agree with some of the points being brought out by the media but I also think that this should not be the focus for days on end…..it was a meeting with no set solutions to problems and then the presser was a love fest that we all knew would be the outcome (and so did the media)….Russia is still the boogeyman in the closet that it has always been.
The only thing to change is the speculation on what the “real” relationship is between Vlad and Our Dear Leader.
In closing…..In case you may have never heard of Little Feat……
In Saner Thought 
Actually you made me recall.. “Fat Man and Little Boy” were the two nukes we dropped on Japan. The image of the two together reminded me of both those diplomatic “clowns” standing at the Helsinki podiums….
I was think “A Peter and the Wolf”….LOL chuq
Very appropriate.. a Russian story! 🙂
A Peter because I did not want to be vulgar with A Prick….LOL chuq
Very noble of you not using the word PRICK to describe his antics.. and also my own restraint in not using the word “cocksucker”. That would be a bit much.
I try to be civil most times…but some times it is so much that I have to go off on a rant….chuq
Getting off is not as common as it used to be… for me.
I try to do the right thing and smile thru the tears…LOL chuq
Bless you, my son. 🙂
I cannot imagine the Russians wanting to recruit someone as volatile and unreliable as Mr Trump. Their real agents in the US are probably much better-liked than he is. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
I think that some of the stuff I am seeing is that Trump is just lagniappe….something extra for their efforts….chuq
A good point, Pete. It might suggest that Russia has poor quality control in who they recruit.
