Trump: Investigators "say let's find ten people that hate president trump the most and let's put them up there" to testify. Interestingly the ten people who hate Trump most are the ten people who worked on his Ukraine policy. pic.twitter.com/iwjNYK4jcr

Trump says he’s thinking of attending Russia’s May Day parade. This is a celebration of Russian military power, which Putin is using to undermine US national security interests across the globe. Why attend? What benefit does Trump perceive to the US? To himself?

Will be easier to get his annual performance report from Putin in person then.

Still searching for an event at which he’ll be cheered.

I think he’s just trolling us now. (Provided he actually knows how trolling works.)

You think that if he goes we can get vlad to keep him?
We can declare him AWOL and charge him with desertion?
Naw, vlad doesn’t want him there fucking up russia, he wants him here fucking up the US.

Putin’s written a script and asked him to come try out for a lead.

Even the average three-year-old can manage, “You’re MEAN and EVERYBODY HATES ME so I’m gonna RUN AWAY and THEN YOU’LL BE SORRY!!!”
By the time they’re five, they kinda expect the grown-up they’re yelling at to say, No, don’t go, actually we love you.
And the grown-up, if they’re smart, says, Okay, I’ll help you pack, and walk you to the corner…

@David ??Booooooo?? Koch:
Yeah, he’s making a run for it. It was always his MO when shit started crumbling.
But can we please take a moment and realize how fucked up this is? We are discussing the real possibility that THE PRESIDENT* OF THE UNITED STATES MIGHT DEFECT TO RUSSIA.
I can’t even.

@Ruckus:
Oh no, not at all. Or, what Anne Laurie just said. Mentally, he strikes me as a petulant little, bratty little, 8 year old who’s not getting everything he wants RIGHT NOW!

Hey all props to Russia for beating the crap out of fascists 75 years ago. If they ever do it again it will be the end of Putin. If we do it again, it will be the end of Trump.
So by all means celebrate that 75th anniversary of V-E/V-R day.

@Anne Laurie:
Exactly why I say he has the maturity level of a snotty 5 yr old.
Because he acts just like that.
I’m amazed he doesn’t hold his breath till he turns blue. Maybe he tried that when he actually was 5 and oxygen starved that gelatinous mass under the orange shag carpet swatch that he wears.

@Anne Laurie: My mom just said, “Fine, but you aren’t allowed to cross any streets.”
It was a very long walk to the corner and I wasn’t sure where the cross street went, if it even crossed a street parallel to mine. I was six so I went back home. She didn’t pack me a lunch.

Um, perform what, exactly?

May Day is the International Socialist Holiday. I thought Trump was against Socoalism.
Sloane Ranger
I imagine he’s still a bit ratted off that he didn’t really get his big military parade in DC.
If he attends the Moscow May Day march past he can stand on the podium, at Vlad’s right hand, and fantasise that all those soldiers, sailors and airforce types, not to mention tanks, missiles and other military hardware are saluting him as they pass. No doubt he would find that extremely arousing, if you know what I mean.

@Sebastian: I was convinced of that months ago, and got totally mocked when it didn’t happen.
I no longer believe Putin even wants Trump around, even as a humiliation for America. It’s actually a terrible, impractical idea. However, the reason I was convinced of all this months ago is because TRUMP thinks he can do that and go be celebrated as such a good, clever boy.
Never gonna happen. I somehow got that he wanted this, but never gonna happen.

“This is a celebration of Russian military power, which Putin is using to undermine US national security interests across the globe. Why attend? What benefit does Trump perceive to the US? To himself?”
It isn’t about Trump.
Putin is going for the big ego boost. Something that historians will be writing about for centuries to come.
Picture it unfolding: The parade slowly builds until the march of combined missile launchers and tanks, the Russian air force flyover, the Russian national anthem, and Putin all come to a simultaneous climax as Trump lovingly licks his boots. For a dictator it just doesn’t get any better than that.
In return Trump has the pee-pee tapes held back a little longer, Putin gives the nod for Trump’s loans through Deutsche Bank to be renewed, and a vague offer of asylum is extended to Trump, if he can make it to the Russian embassy when the time comes. Assuming, of course, that the old and quite forgetful janitor remembers to unlock the door.
