Churchill Collusion
It’s true. The great man was Stalin’s drinking buddy.
Churchill Collusion
But back then Russia and Britain were on the same side against the Nazis. Technically, it wasn’t Russia either. It was the communist Soviet Union. And Stalin was its totalitarian dictator who murdered millions more than the mere authoritarian Putin.
Trump Apostrophe
What could have caused Trump to side with Putin against his own Intel director? President Trump claimed the U.S./Russian relationship changed for the better during a two hour closed door meeting without notes. And he denied Russia meddled in the 2016 election.
That set off a national freak out making “Our Democracy” look unhinged.
Score one for Putin.
Former CIA Director Brennan called Trump treasonous. George Will called him an “embarrassing wreck of a man.” Calmer voices said his remarks were worse than Kristallnacht and Pearl Harbor.
Trump Apostrophe
So, within a day, on the 100th anniversary of the murder of Tsar Nicholas and his family, the president caved. He misspoke. He meant to say, “I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be Russia,” rather than “why it would be Russia.”

NATO Brussels Breakfast Belgian Waffles
President Trump spoke up in his usual way at a NATO breakfast in Brussels. Which is to say overbearing.
He drove home the point, over and over, that all the member states need to pay their fare share. The U.S. pays more than other NATO members by far.

It’s a point often made by Trump opponents. But they were mortified.
Opposing Kavanaugh Nomination
Democrats protested President Trump’s Supreme Court choice. And that was before he picked Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
Opposing Kavanaugh Nomination
Meanwhile, Democratic Senator Dick Durbin wants red state Dems to take one for the team and commit political suicide by opposing the Kavanaugh nomination.
