my optimistic take on this announcement:
1) midterms done, senate red, blue wave broken against red wave instead of things flipping blue in midterms, as is normal.
2) unrecused acting AG, who knows fuckery, now in place
3) original meeting in Helsinki was to tell Putin what he might expect, including U1, if Trump got a handle on things domestically. also to agree on Syria hands off, as it was a cabal infestation.
4) there will NEVER be good 'optics' for Trump with the MSM, regardless of the event or the circumstances of any event around him - 2 yrs of them twisting every narrative.
5) House committees all comped by Dems - whatever legislation makes it out of the house will be poisonous for MAGA or outright communistic.
6) Syria is essentially a cleanup op at this point, although we cannot pull out due to C_A fuckery wrt WMD, etc. with Iran and Iraq as neighbors.
time to secure peace with Putin, in order to be able to focus on domestic issues - which will be many, and involve Russia due to U1.
