Rump just fucked up in Japan at press meeting with Putin.

Trump was listing topics he discussed with Putin and then a reporter asked him if he brought up the Russian meddling in US election. Rump leaned over towards Putin and mumbled offhandedly "Don't meddle in elections". Just like it was a joke.

This was on a live feed being shown on Cuomo's gig.

Starts around 5:50. Sorry, this clip is from faux.

Edited to remove: Then some security detail surrounded the reporter and the feed was cut. Very strange. It was almost like they were in Moscow.

Best answer of the night from Mayor Pete on why the SBPD didn't fix their diversity problem:

"Because I couldn't get it done."

Honesty, to a degree not common among run-of-the-mill politicians, is so damn refreshing.

Joe should've tried the honesty approach when confronted with his anti-bussing position. His answer should have been "I was wrong". End of discussion.
