Good morning!
So what's going on with a second long conversation between Putin and JA? WH doesn't want to characterize it as a meeting because it occurred at a dinner party, but you don't exchange hour long pleasantries at a dinner party with just one of the guests. If you are talking that long, that is significant. And JA didn't have a translator so relied only on the Russian translator?! When he's already embroiled way over his head in issues about Russia?! That just sounds stupid!!! Can he really be that stupid? Is he just really that arrogant? I think it's more likely that it is a combination of both. So no one knows what was said in this meeting except Putin, Putin's translator, and JA. If it were anyone else it would be unbelievable, but with this guy it is just par for the course. Totally incapable of leading the country.
Got to go pick up step-son #2 and take him to oral surgeon. That's going to take a big chunk of the day, but glad I can help them out. BBL . . .

Copied from a CNN nightly newsletter . . .
Turns out The Wall Street Journal's editorial board is really good at throwing shade at President Donald Trump. On Tuesday, the editorial board published "The Trumps and the Truth," a scathing op-ed about the administration.
CNN's Liz Stark picked out six of the most scathing lines from the piece.
1. “Even Donald Trump might agree that a major reason he won the 2016 election is because voters couldn’t abide Hillary Clinton’s legacy of scandal, deception and stonewalling. Yet on the story of Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, Mr. Trump and his family are repeating the mistakes that doomed Mrs. Clinton.”
2. “Even if the ultimate truth of this tale is merely that Don Jr. is a political dunce who took a meeting that went nowhere — the best case — the Trumps made it appear as if they have something to hide. They have created the appearance of a conspiracy that on the evidence Don Jr. lacks the wit to concoct. And they handed their opponents another of the swords that by now could arm a Roman legion.”
3. “Don’t you get it, guys? Special counsel Robert Mueller and the House and Senate intelligence committees are investigating the Russia story. Everything that is potentially damaging to the Trumps will come out, one way or another. Everything. Denouncing leaks as “fake news” won’t wash as a counter-strategy beyond the President’s base, as Mr. Trump’s latest 36% approval rating shows.”
4. “Then release it all to the public. Whatever short-term political damage this might cause couldn’t be worse than the death by a thousand cuts of selective leaks, often out of context, from political opponents in Congress or the special counsel’s office. If there really is nothing to the Russia collusion allegations, transparency will prove it.”
5. “Mr. Trump will probably ignore this advice, as he has most of what these columns have suggested. Had he replaced James Comey at the FBI shortly after taking office in January, for example, he might not now have a special counsel threatening him and his family.”
6. “Mr. Trump somehow seems to believe that his outsize personality and social-media following make him larger than the presidency. He’s wrong. He and his family seem oblivious to the brutal realities of Washington politics. Those realities will destroy Mr. Trump, his family and their business reputation unless they change their strategy toward the Russia probe. They don’t have much more time to do it.”

Sorry to hear the news about John McCain. I usually vehemently disagree with his politics, but I respect his military service and wish him nothing but the best.
