• Morning AB, All. As always, thank you AB for doing this thread so reliably and keeping the peace with gentle thread policing. Thank you Bray for weekly written wisdom, Thank all yon contributors for excellent commentary to flesh it all out.

• Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.

The great Putin Trump meeting——everybody was late.

President Trump asks Putin to have those 12 men Mueller wants to indict come to America and testify.

Putin agrees, but only if Mueller allows his guys to testify on how Hillary might have been part of the mess.

However confusing and whatever the case, this Russian thing is getting so old.

Mueller has found nothing against Trump in almost two years.

Why can’t they let the guy do the job?

And winner of the best fake award is JEFF SESSIONS!

For he pretended to be in love with Trump and let’s face it, Trump, like many folks I suppose, loves to be admired.

So Sessions, he played the part.

And as soon as Trump fell for the bait and appointed Sessions as head of the Department of Justice, he recuses himself of any investigation on the Russian collusion.

Jeff Sessions was Trumps first big mistake as President.

So with all the hoopla over that interview of Trump vs. Putin, I got one politico that jumped right in and condemned the President immediately.

It was Newt Gingrich, who just published a book. I don’t trust this guy although he has a somewhat stellar past.

He was Speaker of the House, author of “Contract with America”, a GOP hero of the day.

Now he worms his way into endless appearances on Fox shows. He and wife Calista write books.

To get attention, he will condemn the President in a minute…..saying…”over here! Look at me!”

He is an astute political observer but when he’s busy doing book tours and promoting same, he’ll say anything to get attention.

I am going to turn him off next time I see or hear the guy.

Judge Jenine Piro was a guest on that perfectly horrible show-”The View”.

With that wonderful, sweet and kind lady, Whoopi Goldberg, who likes to brag about her seven abortions.

She’s a really bad person this Goldberg woman.

She should be fired for how she yelled and screamed at Judge Jenine and finally told her to get the “F” our of the building.

I’m anxious to see how this turns out.

Pity those poor folks who died when that “Duck” boat capsizes.

First, I must ask….don’t those people have to wear life jackets?

Second, what the hell are they doing out in that kind of weather?

The investigation is ongoing and as of this writing there are still people missing.

Newt is always 80/20 to our benefit. Looks like he screwed up again,not too unusual.
Here is someone who did not screw up and whose video needs to be seen.It's Joe Kernen who interviewed the President on the meet between Putin and Trump in Helsinki.He got it right and its here:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/07/20/extensive-cnbc-interview-with-president-trump-that-destroys-media-narrative/
Among the highlights were the fact that Trump considered the most important topic of the meet was the nukes.Between the US and Russia are 90% of the nukes in the world.Does a topic such as this get any bigger? I don't think so.Would we want Putin to get so pissed off at us that he gives nukes to all the wrong people.I don't think so.
Is a warm and friendly relationship among mortal enemies required in this venue? Without a doubt! If anyone can make a deal with Putin its Trump. Putin knows it and Trump knows it. So all those who thought Trump should have come down hard on pootie are basically “IDIOTS!!”
Also during the interview Trump told how how he will produce four million new jobs,revitalize the economy and how we got in the mess of trade imbalances to begin with. That happened because every time any country put a tariff on goods coming from America into their country “there was no one in the US to talk to.” So they kept doing more and more and more until we are where we are.Only Trump has had the guts to do something about it.

On a personal note....

.....my friend, Diane Feinstein, is talking to me on telephone. She’s not a particularly political person but she will pay attention from time to time, to impress me I suspect. And, by the way, she is NOT the real Diane Feinstein. She just looks like her.

So my friend says, out of the blue...”Who’s that female politician you talk about? From California? Diane Feinstein?”

So I smile...heh. My friend has no idea I call her Diane Feinstein.

Anyway, friend tells me that California politico Diane Feinstein has been abandoned by her fellow Democrats.

MY Diane Feinstein thought this was a hoot. I was impressed at her increasing political/news knowledge.

Yesterday, since I desperately need to get a life, I did a short binge-watch of Criminal Minds.

Man, you could go insane watching that stuff.

As an aside, the guy who plays the part of Hotchkins looks exactly like James Comey.

Both from the FBI I might add.

If we don’t have psychopaths horribly burning up their victims, they will sew their mouths shut or, my favorite...one psychopath takes live people and makes them into living marionettes.

He disjoints their knees, hands and elbows, dyes their hair, wraps them in strings with which to move them around.

I wonder if any of these stories are true.

She really has had 7 abortions? Good grief, no wonder she’s angry all the time.

I still can’t get past why hasn’t PDJT fired Sessions? Q says to trust him...I don’t know what to believe.

Second, what the hell are they doing out in that kind of weather?

Being an experienced boater those looked like 4-6 at 2-3 seconds...

Flat boat profile, not much to cut the waves , a combo for disaster. Looks like the captain chose to plow through, instead of slowly riding them....

One sideways turn and control can be lost pretty quickly.

Know these are supposed to be of a military design, but this was a Navy Seal mission so don’t know why they even went out...
