American press is banned from trump's meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov

Today’s meeting with the guy on the left is without the guy on the right. On the historic day when two #ArticlesOfImpeachment are announced by Democrats, once again our press is banned from the White House meet up. Lavrov is bringing Putin’s new impeachment talking points.

More likely it's Putin's marching orders Lavrov is bringing, I'd guess.

that just an hour ago, Republican leadership was onstage shrieking there's been no collusion with Russia and no one's been tougher on Russia than Trump. What a load of shit.

Usually there's a rash (no pun intended) of response posts from slavish devotees of Trump, arguing that whatever is being discussed is no big thing or hawhawhaw librul snowflakes pwned! This time: Nothing, at least as far as I've scrolled (several pages).

This is indefensible, and every Republican in Washington should be asked about this, point-blank.

#Russia's state media reports that after the meeting,
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Mike Pompeo
will briefly speak to journalists. After that, Trump will
meet with Lavrov (no U.S. press allowed)

all his needs will be met.

Of course a corpse dissolved in lye doesn't have a whole lot of needs.

Personal opinion only: Could you make sure that dump (and family) are still alive while they are being disposed of?

that the only thing Dumpy has ever done that he does not want to hype to the whole universe as the greatest thing that has ever happened is...a private meeting with an autocratic adversary known to meddle in elections, murder political opponents and journalists, and tolerate/encourage so much doping/cheating in sports that they have to be banned from participating.

Lavrov’s mission in the U.S.:
1. Coordinate impeachment defense strategy
2. Gaslight Americans; i.e., deny 2016 Russian interference
3. Plan 2020 election strategy
4. Cash-in by demanding more U.S. policies favorable to Putin
5. Show Russians & world how Moscow runs America
