But what sensitive info might have been 'accidentally' left out on a desk that the photog could casually capture for his bosses? What other potentially damaging mischief might have happened in that meeting? Who was the real audience for those photos? Was getting physically into the Oval Office a 'mission accomplished' for the Russian spy master?

THEY MISLED US......

You let them in the front door and kept your own press out. Next day you come out with some shit that says "they misled us us"??? On what level of hell are we living that 40% of the country is stupid enough to vote for these inept mf'ers.

Once again thank you Trump voters for voting your "cultural anxiety" and for voting us straight into laughing stock territory. More importantly thank you for letting me know how "you really feel about us brown people". You're going to let this old white dude shit all over the country you claim to love to get back at the rest of us for voting for Obama.

26. Same screening as the US press going into the WH briefing room
Thu May 11, 2017, 09:53 AM
May 2017

So, the press briefing room is just as secure as the Oval Office? They allowed a 3 on 1 power play w/o doing a cavity search on the guy carrying bags of electronics and recording devices.

What could possibly go wrong? Guess Kislyak vouched for him and it 's Obama's fault their screening protocols are so lax.

"Yeah America. I fired the guy who was investigating me for colluding with the Russians. And the very next day I host the Russians in the Oval Office. I do because I can. Now kiss my orange ass!"

He can do whatever wants to do because the jackass republicans don't give a crap about patriotism. Teflon Don has them shaking in their pissy boots. McConnell and Ryan don't even support a special prosecutor, who would be beyond the reach of the oval, to investigate treason. They are beyond sorry. They are even beyond pathetic.

When someone is committing treason and interfering with investigations, it SHOULDN'T be up to elected representatives to enforce the law.

Imagine if someone broke into your house but the cops wouldn't arrest them because the cops were republicans.

Just who the hell is "us"? Somebody (or somebodies) need to take the blame for this. "They tricked US" is not pinning responsibility on anyone. They shouldn't have been allowed there in the first place, dumbasses. You were easy to "trick" and now they're laughing at you even as they listen in to their audio in the Oval Office.

So the WH staff just naively believed whatever the Russians told them? How credulous can they be? No one thought to vet the Russian entourage, verify their identities or check out their credentials before allowing them in the WH, let alone approving that little private tete-a-tete with the president where the US press was barred?

47. Putin owns Trump
Thu May 11, 2017, 11:45 AM
May 2017

I have to give Putin credit. He messed with our election and got revenge on Hillary, and now he is messing with Trump. The poor man thought Putin was his friend. But, the reality of it is that Putin has been using Trump to throw the US political system and government into chaos.
Shaking hands with Kislyak in the Oval Office right after firing Comey. I wonder what they talked about? "Good work Comrade Trump. Your master is pleased with you."
I could almost hear Putin laughing his ass off.
