Between the election and inauguration (as reported on Rachel Maddow's show). How is it that we didn't hear about this at the time? The press were parked there, telling us about Steve Harvey and every other celebrity that turned up, but they didn't notice or think to report about the Russian Ambassador?
Or did I miss it?

(8,197 posts)It's shady as fuck that this isn't being discussed either. You know damn well they brought the guy in through a back way so he wouldn't be seen- yet everyone else they paraded through the lobby. Gee. I wonder why they did something different with the RUSSIAN guy???

Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard Goes to Trump Tower to Defend Assad
Tulsi Gabbard, a favorite of both progressives and Trump senior counselor Steve Bannon, met with the president-elect Monday to make a plea: Leave Syrias dictator alone.

Gabbard is not a favorite with this progressive and she's my rep.

Either a double chin or fat roll on the back of the neck (esp. when sweaty and frankfurter-like in appearance).
Although that one is a bit of a neckhaggis (not sure that's been coined yet).
