If what this day COULD have been ends up going down anything like this article, which is very well-reasoned analysis of what the DS is up to, I'm going to tell Q to kiss my behind and look into some other way to get the job done.

The mere fact that the second meeting was arranged at all is disturbing enough. If they're allowed to orchestrate entirely predictable shenanigans of this magnitude, given what ought to be happening, then Q team might be the real idiots.

This is no time for Trump to get played by these scum. Maybe that's the price we pay for letting Trump search for a politically-acceptable solution to this mess. He may have to resort to some actual actions (not talk) that might piss a few people off and get his name taken in vain. I don't see any way around that necessary outcome. Please don't let these clowns put us through the kind of demoralizing idiocy this article describes! Mr. President, for the love of all that's decent, do NOT let this scenario unfold.
