I love what a current (but unnamed) diplomat told the Daily Beast
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
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!
Good! 11 Americans killed in Russia, his Russian debts are gone, we got him for felony murder. I would not be surprised if something this awful has to happen to get people’s ear.
Eric Swalwell said if Trump tried to extradite McFaul, he would lead an impeachment.
I’d be more impressed if Eric Swalwell was a Republican.
One Doper dollar says Browder is first on list.
Browder is no longer a US citizen - he apparently emigrated to the UK some time back.
Somewhere I saw a blog/tweet from him explaining to Vlad that he was talking to the wrong head of state if he wanted him extradited.
Browder was on NPR this morning having a good laugh. He’s a British citizen living in London. 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.
ETA: Always read to the end of the thread before replying…
Though in my defense, the tab was open before Folacin replied, just took forever to get to it.
And Vlad may be here for it!!!11!!!
You just know that Little Donny is breathlessly hoping that Vlad can be here to keep him company in the reviewing stand.
Well, that’s an idea. Does he have some decent affordable neighborhoods to move to? 
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.
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?
“Aren’t our tanks cool? Uh… would you like the schematics for any of them?”
“And see that one at the end? That’s our newest extremely powerful and strong top-secret tank. No one has ever seen it outside of the secret factory under the Smithsonian where it was built.”
He’s a bad man? A very bad man? Is Donny** going to wish him into the cornfield?
**Yes, Douchebag Don, I AM thinking bad thoughts about you. All the time.
Vlad could be nice and say no publicly because he already has them. Hell, Vlad might even be the reason why the design went $250,000,000 over budget. Misinformation doesn’t just work on election campaigns.
I thought the link was in this thread, but I can’t find it. It was a cartoon of Kim Jung un mocking Trump.
