[I love what a current (but unnamed) diplomat told the Daily Beast](https://www.thedailybeast.com/us-officials-at-a-fucking-loss-over-latest-russia-sell-out) > [@](#): > > “The president has first and foremost his interests at the top of his mind, as opposed to the government’s. That’s very clear over the past week and a half, between shitting on our NATO allies and kissing Putin’s ass,” the diplomat said. “He cares more about himself than the nation and any of us who serve it.” > > The diplomat continued: “Either he’s compromised by Putin or he’s a pussy, in which case he should grab himself.” ---

His Bastille Day Lite military parade in November could cost $12 million (this being the Pentagon, though, it’ll probably be more): [https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/18/politics/trump-military-parade-cost/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/18/politics/trump-military-parade-cost/index.html) ---

Think you’re burying the lede on that one. The surprising part isn’t that it costs so much (Il Douche wasting money is nothing new), it’s that it’s almost as much as the joint wargames with the South Koreans would have cost, if the Narcissist in Chief hadn’t canceled them, because Kim was so much more trustworthy than Moon. [Edit - though, I suppose, Trump being Trump, this is exactly the kind of thing he wanted to cut those ‘very expensive’ training exercises to pay for.] ---

The MAGAbots will be able to see the parade on TV; the war games not so much. Clear choice! ---

I can just see the Russian hats like from the May day reviews. Maybe Melania can model something like - An ushanka (Russian: уша́нка, IPA: [ʊˈʂankə], literally “ear flap hat”), also called a ushanka-hat (Russian: ша́пка-уша́нка, IPA: [ˈʂapkə ʊˈʂankə]), is a Russian fur cap with ear flaps that can be tied up to the crown of the cap, or fastened at the chin to protect the ears, jaw and lower chin from the cold. > **[Ushanka](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ushanka)** > > An ushanka (Russian: уша́нка, IPA: \[ʊˈʂankə\], from у́ши, "ears"), also called an ushanka-hat (Russian: ша́пка-уша́нка, IPA: \[ˈʂapkə ʊˈʂankə\]), is a Russian fur cap with ear-covering flaps that can be tied up to the crown of the cap, or fastened at the chin to protect the ears, jaw, and lower chin from the cold.

He told the interviewer that Putin is talking to the wrong Head of State, and Theresa May would probably laugh in Vlad’s face considering what he’s recently had done on British soil. It’s a wonder that Browder passed his British citizenship test. The head of state over there is Queen Elizabeth, not Theresa May. She doesn’t usually involve herself directly in such diplomatic matters, but if someone needs to laugh in Vlad’s face, I’m sure Her Majesty can manage it as part of her official duties. ---

LMAO at 2D checkers and make it stop! Putin has always looked like a cat with canary feathers on his chin to me. Now, sitting next to Trump, he looks amused and less serious, he’s practically beaming. He doesn’t even need his psychological manipulation manual for this one, he’s thinking. I’d like to see him play tic tac toe with Donald. I wonder what excuse Donald would use when he lost? ---
