No offense but from what I can find out about retired Lt. General Kellogg, he has basic understanding of the Russian language, so he may have felt comfortable speaking Russian. Or it could have been that Musk had fired most of our translators.
Bill Browder said that when Fiona Hill (who speaks fluent Russian) sat in on Trump and Putin's press conferences, Putin was taking the p*ss out of Trump and the Russian translator had to change what was being said so as not to offend Trump.
Wouldn’t you want a recorded (documented) American translators (perhaps more than one to guarantee accuracy) on the off chance that negotiations are discussed or offered and accuracy is important as proof of who said what
And to share the content with people, without having it look intentional. I need to remember to add the incompetent clown act as part of the disarming propaganda. Because we naturally think anybody that stupid can’t be that dangerous, but here we are.
Does he even know? His folks there aren’t too swift, in way over their heads, & probably shaking in their boots dealing with the real masterminds of our new government.
Our country is being run by a bunch of idiots. None of them are qualified and they have no idea what they are doing. We will be lucky if we survive this mess.
By this time next year he won’t remember his own name. He is diminishing at a rapid pace. His memory failing, he’ll be incoherent just like his Dad soon enough. A Vance Presidency is even more horrific to contemplate.
Yea but ya know.. he has a couple of ppl in his circle who imho r just as dangerous if not even more so.. Stephen Miller and J D Vance.. imho these 2 while perhaps not overly bright r none the less sadistic in scope and nature, and, given the reins of power will make life unbearable for all of us.
Maybe I’m naïve or just grabbing it some hope here, thinking b/c Vance is so unpopular & has the charisma of a dishcloth that the cult won’t be having Vance boat parades & will lose interest. I always thought of Trump‘s rallies as hate fest meets comedy club. Vance can’t command a crowd at a 7-11.
You forget, he will have Stephen Miller looking over his shoulder with ambitions and a lust for power, thus he could easily be brushed aside or replaced with extreme prejudice by Miller by some mysterious happenstance so as to propel Miller into a position of power. If that happens.. God help us all
He does their bidding by signing all these executive project 2025 orders, but there is still stuff that is him, like the tariffs and Canada as the 51th state.
That puts his handlers in a tight spot - they do not want to invoke the 25th (yet), they need the MAGA base to keep the GOP in check.
At some point the real GOP would throw a huge fit if they found out the deeper details that would send the MAGAts scurrying like rats. That be so epic.
I think that's been happening from the beginning. He sits behind the desk, holds his sharpie and scribbles his name. He thinks he looks important. Then he golfs all weekend! We have a corrupt moron in the White House!
Just like dad. They used to dress him up, take him to the office and give him a pile of blank papers to sign and shuffle around. Senile dementia games.
There is always the hope that the republicans that are bending knee to trump out of fear will not fear Vance and therefore will vote against him.
But it is ugly to contemplate.
IDK. Might be wishful thinking but i think if Vance got in the whole place might start cannibalizing itself. I have to think they all know hes not going to be the pied piper of the ignorant like his boss is, at which point the crabs all start trying to climb out of the bucket.
When understand he's judging them against his own character so he knows. They are the biggest bag of bumbling idiots criminals and lowlifes money and power could ever influence.
Wealthy children don't need to pass any grades. Seriously, wealthy children don't need to job search, or even be competitive, unless they are naturally.
DT made reference to “defense token” in a speech on his inauguration day. I recognized “token” as a crypto term so I looked it up. I think it’s the future of defense, not just weapons but policing as well. You too will one day pay for a token for protection. It’s actually literal class warfare.
Perhaps the global economy will tank BEFORE accepting crypto. TrumPutin is destroying the dollar as we speak. Technocrats don’t want nations, they don’t want national currencies, and they control everything.

Really? I was going to hit the like button but the immense stupidity of these people is astonishing.
They really think they got a true translation of this meeting?
Unbelievable.
Interpreter to Putin: "He said he wants to toss your salad. No he really DID say that. I swear to you sir! Look at him! He's tossing your salad in his mind right now!"
Without a translator, I suspect records retention laws don't apply, in addition to plausible deniability. 34-felon doesn't take risks in his dealings with Putin.
As a Canadian I'm sick of this. It never ends and the complete disregard of the American constitution, rule of law and values is NOT being met with any sense of urgency as America is fast losing everything its founding fathers put forth to guide this once great nation now soiled beyond recognition.
Trust me my friend, there are many of us living in this country who are also sickened to the core of our very souls, and, angered beyond words to say at what is transpiring. I keep hoping for a miracle, yet feel none seems to b forthcoming leaving me w a sense of dread for our future here.
What urgent act would you have us take? The Rs are in charge of the branch of government which writes the laws and which enforces the laws. Do you want me to pick up a gun and march in the street? Because there is nothing within legal bounds which I *can* do beyond what I have already done.
that's because the Republicans are the Majority they hold all
the cards, Democrats are doing their best but their best is not good enough if the power is tight up with the Republicans who don't care about anything the felon is doing even if it means loosing our country !
I hate to say this, but America, through stupidity and arrogance put the metaphoric gun in it's own mouth. I'll never forgive those that voted for this guy.
I want a big wall between us and the United States, from coast, to coast, to coast.
I don't want their guns, their mass shooting of children, their fake justice, their powerless politicians, their love of billionnaires, their non-existing healh care, their lack of decency and humanity.
For perspective, US wants this too, in greater numbers than CA. Don’t give in to tribalism or nationalism. That’s how the fuckers get power anywhere. Its a himan nature problem.
Back in the 70's, three of my best friends were Americans.
Two were draft dodgers from the Vietnam war and one had served time for a joint found in his pocket.
They were brilliant, caring, artistic and spoke of peace and love.
OMG, hubby brought his own interpreter to overseas business meetings at my insistence. He didn’t tell the other side he had his own interpreter though. That was interesting.
WOWZA.....first thing out of my mouth, are you fucking kidding me?
They continue to best their most ignorant acts from the day before.
This has got to be on purpose. Nobody is that brainless.
In my work life I come up against lightweight negotiators like these guys all the time, they always leave with crappy deals. Putin and his team must be laughing with smug superiority. The difference is that my deals are just business, these guys are playing with shit with world changing implications
Putin gave Trump a portrait of himself and some funhouse mirrors that make him look thin. Don't need interpreter for that. I've seen the best interpreters in juvenile court who admit they are unable to translate for 7 year old children with small vocabularies without taking forever.
It amazes me that this administration can take the most common and mundane tasks and turn them into acts of imbecility that go beyond anybody's wildest imagination.
This makes me think about how some people get tattoos in languages THEY DON'T KNOW, then are surprised at what it actually says when people laugh at them.
Exactly like Nazi Germany — as if fascism isn’t enough, it’s being implemented by idiots. These people could barely hold on to respectable employment outside of the MAGA regime, let alone run a nation. So, they are running it into the ground. That’s the goal: wreck it all, then “rebuild.”

It sure would be nice if you took the time to learn how it all really works, Ron.
This is a perfect opportunity to plant into cult members ‘heads
Leader is Weak.
That’s one of the ways to fragment a cult.
Putin is running him here.
Fucking lean into it, Ron.
Feed them.
And all the people in a position to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, are gonna sit around with their thumbs up their butts

The rest of world has been laughing at America since Dubya.
❌ Expertise
❌ Integrity
✅ Flattery
✅ Ability to say “Yes, Sir” before the question ends
✅ Experience kissing ass
GET HIM OUT !
No notes, no interpreter…no record
Putin can say whatever & there’s no way to dispute it
Or have anything introduced as evidence in drumpf’s next trial
SO MUCH WINNING!

Russian Interpreter: American idiot demands you bomb Ukraine.
Mental acuity!

Not the “best people”—not the smartest people, either.
Yeah...we're so screwed...

First in ruZZia, but then expanded?

No U.S. records. No witnesses?
Just Russian ears in the room?
Forget fiction.
The real Manchurian Candidate didn’t need brainwashing—
just ego, leverage, and a taste for autocrats.

I could open my door again.

Most refuse to admit that their responsibility, and overcome victim addicted prisons of comfort/privilege, to work towards civil #SocialReform.
It's easier to project blame.

Putz.
😩
as per trump's boss' orders
Perhaps he’s fearful of saying the wrong thing but he stops stammers and blunders more often than not
No doubt, Biden could help him with this since Biden overcame his speaking issues so well
It just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?
Does teump finally get approval for the teump Moskow project?
And about the debt he owes your oligarchs.. all clear now?
And.. could donny please get the bedroom videos??
That is open to massive abuse if I understood that correctly. Played like a cheap banjo.
tRump 2.0 is supposed to be better. The only thing he's better at is fu©king up.
We all know that.
But man🤦♀️
Every day he does something dumber than the day before.😒
