POTUS and Putin have 'informal' palaver

According to The Washington Times, President Trump had an "informal" chat with Russian President Vladimir Putin  at the G-20 Summit in Argentina.

The talk was at a dinner on Friday for the world leaders who had gathered in Buenos Aries.

Trump had cancelled a formal meeting with Putin after Russia escalated military tensions with Ukraine after they captured several of their vessels and sailors.

"As is typical at multilateral events, President Trump and the First Lady had a number of informal conversations with world leaders at the dinner last night, including President Putin," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said.

Sanders did not reveal the length of the conversation or what was discussed.

Trump's relationship with Putin has been closely watched due to longstanding but unsubstantiated allegations about Trump campaign collusion with Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Many on the left say President Trump has been too soft on Putin when the two met in Helsinki, Finland at a July summit.

President Trump abruptly called off the planned 2-hour meeting with Mr. Putin as he flew aboard Air Force One to the summit. He tweeted that it would be "best for all parties" if he snubbed Putin.

Why he said it out loud is difficult to understand.

Tensions between Ukraine and Russia escalated Sunday when a Russian coast guard fired on and seized three Ukrainian vessels. 

Ukraine is an ally but not a NATO partner.

The incident near Crimea in the Kerch Strait connecting the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov sparked fears of war.

NYC Mayor, Comrade de Blasio, leaves NYC to protest G-20

Socialist, Sandinista-loving, cop-hating mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio (even his name is phony) got his butt out of town and jetting it to Germany to join the unwashed at the G-20 protest.

He's leaving a day after a New York City cop, Miosotis Familia, was assassinated, shot in the face, as she sat in her vehicle filling out a report in the Bronx. 

There was also a swearing-in ceremony for 524 new NYPD recruits, an event normally attended by normal mayors. But this human garbage who became mayor of one of the most liberal cities in the US knew that if he attended the ceremony, he would not be welcome because he's quicker to defend Black Lives Matter violence than he is the cops who assuage it.

Cowardly de Blasio kept his plans to join the Hamburg protest a secret until he slithered out of the country. He is expected to attend several events surrounding the G-20 summits in the next two days, and it would be a wonderful thing if he got his butt blasted by a water canon. 

His press secretary, Eric Phillips, tweeted that the so-called mayor will be a main speaker at the demonstration "Hamburg Zeigt Haltung," or "Hamburg Shows Attitude."

Phillips said on Twitter that the mayor made sure the trip wouldn't conflict with the officer's funeral, but insofar as the recruit graduation was concerned, 'to hell with them,' appears to be his attitude. 

Hopefully, de Blasio will be disinvited to the funeral.

Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, one of the crap weasel's Republican opponents tweeted: "While #NYC's subways crumble, sex crimes increase double digits, litter on the streets pile up & the number of street homeless soars . . . #G20." She also tweeted a photoshopped image of him drinking beer and eating bratwurst.

"The photo is funny but the issue is serious. Our mayor is neglecting his basic responsibility of managing the city," she told the New York Post. 

Trump also attacked de Blasio for leaving New York City while its "education, infrastructure etc rots under his 'progressive' stewardship!"

Comrade de Blasio will travel with three staffers and the cost of the trip will allegedly be covered by event organizers, not the taxpayers this time.


Thousands of low-information protesters clashed with police Thursday. German police say they've detained 29 protesters and 111 police officers were wounded, three who were hospitalized.

It is not anticipated that de Blasio will visit any of them in the hospital.

Obama cancels meeting with Philippines leader after his tasteless remark

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte was to meet with President Obama and warned him not to raise human-rights issues at the meeting. He also called him as a "son of a whore." 

Obama decided not to give the guy the time of day and personally, I don't blame him. I thought I'd never take Obama's side on any issue, but I do on this one. Gutter talk is never acceptable to aim at an American president.

National Security Council spokesman Ned Price tried to keep the incident on the down-low and gave no reason for the cancellation of the bilateral meeting, saying only that Obama will instead meet with President Park of South Korea.

Obama spoke at the G-20 summit in China on Monday and called Duterte's remarks "colorful" and told his staff to determine whether or not his planned meeting with the potty-mouth president would still be "productive."

Duterte said that he is a leader of a sovereign country and is only answerable to the Filipino people (if he chooses to be). A reporter asked him how he plans to explain why he has ordered the extrajudicial killings of over 2,000 suspected drug traffickers and users after he took office at the end of June. 

In typical Duterte garbage-mouth style, he said: "I am a president of a sovereign state and we havel long ceased to be a colony. I do not have any master except the Filipino people [he kidded], nobody but nobody. You must be respectful. Do not just throw questions. Putang ina [son of a b**ch] I swear at you in that forum," he said.

Duterte has even cursed Pope Francis, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and cabbie who refused to pick him up before he was president.

Referring to Obama, Duterte said, "Who is he to confront me?" obviously forgetting that it was a reporter, not Obama who posed the possible question. Duterte added that the Philippines did not get an apology for misdeeds done during the U.S. colonization of the island.

The murderous Duterte also pointed out human rights problems in the United States in a feeble attempt to justify killing people without a trial, and said he was ready to defend his actions on the bloody crackdown.

Duterte said he would demand Obama allow him to first explain the context of his crackdown before discussing the deaths.


It's a good thing Barack Obama didn't grow up in the Philippines with his history of drug use.

Obama "pulls a Hillary" on Erdogan

Our commander in chief, Barack Obama, met with Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday. This was their first meeting since the military coup this summer failed to throw Ankara's government out of power. Since the coup, relations between the two countries has been strained, to say the least.

Erdogan believes that the coup was orchestrated by exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen, now living in Pennsylvania, and he blames the United States for harboring the guy. 

Obama spoke at the G-20 summit in China and kissed up to the people of Turkey for resisting the coup attempt. He said that they "affirmed their commitment to democracy" and they are "the strength and brilliance of democratic institutions."coup, 

He also "pulled a Hillary" when he claimed that he was glad Erdogan was safe and able to participate in the G-20 summit. The exchange between to two so-called "leaders" was calmer and somewhat more amiable than the recent exchange Erdogan had with Vice President Joe "The Village Idiot" Biden overt he extradition demand made by Turkey for Gulen.

In an indirect, rather vague reference to Gulen, Obama said the Justice Department and U.S. security teams "will cooperate with Turkish authorities to determine how we can make sure that those who carried out these activities are brought to justice;" implying that he would sell Gulen 'down the river' if he could make it look justified to the public.

The 'lame duck' also made clear his "unequivocal condemnation of these actions" and that he personally spoke to Erdogan when the coup attempt first got underway in July. He called to offer U.S. support (LOL).

When Gulen's possible extradition was discussed several weeks ago, there was visible tension when Biden visited Turkey. On Sunday, Erdogan said that his government is gathering "post-coup evidence" to show that Gulen orchestrated the plot from the U.S. and will submit the details to U.S. authorities, adding that officials from both countries are working their collective tails off over the extradition request.

Rumor has it that the Obama team that is working with the Erdogan team is the same group of dedicated people that discovered a video had been responsible for the 2012 Benghazi attack that killed 4 Americans, one of whom was an ambassador named Chris Stevens.

Obama thanked the Turkish people and Erdogan in their quest to defeat ISIS and their humanitarian efforts in response to the years-long civil war in Syria.

Erdogan called on Obama to fight all terror groups and opposes our support of Kurdish fighters that they consider to be terrorists.

Obama mumbled that he is currently working diligently to fight two of the biggest terrorist groups back home in the U.S.: the police and the GOP.

Europe is up to its eyeballs in refugees

"We will welcome them on the beaches. We will welcome them in our cities. We will welcome them with blood, sweat and tears. By Jimminy, there will always be a Germany." Angela Merkel's subconscious. 

According to the president of the European Union, Donald Tusk, the waves of refugees entering Europe may be coming to an end.

"The practical capability of Europe to host new waves of refugees, not to mention irregular economic migrants, is close to its limits," Tusk said at a news conference at the Group of 20 summit on Sunday. 

He urged the rest of the world to get on the bandwagon and make the same effort [aka mistake] as he made and take in as many refugees as they can and watch what happens to their economy and national security.

"Only global efforts supporting refugees and their host communities will be able to bear fruit," Tusk babbled on. "That is why we want to encourage our partners to increase humanitarian and development aid, as well as refugee resettlement. We need to address the root causes that force millions of people to leave their homes and seek shelter elsewhere," he added, never once mentioning Islamic terrorism that has been a global plague since Muhammed first married a six year old.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel believes she saw the possibility of a "positive outcome" to negotiations between Turkey and the EU on a visa waiver for Turks, but thought that it will still take weeks to work. 

After she made this claim, she passed the crack pipe to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who took a deep hit, agreed with Merkel that there was still work to be done, and passed the pipe to Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"We should build an open world economy," Xi said to an audience that included President Obama (who chomped at the bit when he saw the pipe), Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister Theresa May, as well as leaders from South Korea, Japan, India and other governments.

The idea of scrapping visas for Turks entering the EU was to be an incentive for Turkey to agree on a deal to curb the scramble of migrants across the Aegean Sea. The deal is conditional, however, on a host of things such as how it defines terrorism and what constitutes an act of terror--this, to ensure that journalists and academics aren't arrested due to these claims made on them.

China would like to use its status at the G-20 to increase its influence in economically managing the world. Chinese officials say they want the G-20 to take on a longer-term regulatory role, and if China gets everything it wants, we will all be subservient to them.

Global trade growth this year has totally sucked at 2.8%. Leaders at the G-20 warn that they will call for "inclusive growth," a move to defuse pressure to protect local industries by spreading the benefits of "closer global integration to millions of people who have been left behind by wrenching changes," reported the AP. 

What this seems to translate to is that the G-20 is calling for total government control of world economies and trade which is a nicer way of saying 'socialism.'

Obama stressed how much he digs that idea when he spoke at a separate news conference with Theresa May.
