1. Nice how they kept dump separated from the red menace.

[spanone]

2. ...and what about yesterday, mel?

[Miles Archer]

4. Trump re-tweeted this to his own feed...

...today has been a day for over-compensating. If you look at his feed right now, it's like yesterday never happened. Lots of honorin' goin' on. Goin' on bigly.

[spanone]

6. he's a walking disaster

[paleotn]

9. Needs to...

Because a little of this....

Could have caused this. Now is that shitler or malaria?

18. Milli Vanilli. Fake band. Fake people.

[jmowreader]

24. Don't dishonor Milli Vanilli by comparing them to Trump

They did their own dancing, which is more than Trump and his (what is is, twelfth?) wife would do.

[underpants]

26. When Milli Vanilli has high horse on POTUS

This is where we are.

[paleotn]

27. Ha!

That really puts our times in perspective, doesn't it.

[Irishxs]

3. Poor Merkel!

She always gets stuck standing by dt .

[Blue_true]

23. I noticed that, and she always has this "aww shit!!" look on her face.

Maybe Trump tried to stand beside her to make himself look like a real leader.

[smirkymonkey]

25. I know! Does she really draw the short straw every time?

This can't be a coincidence.

5. First Third Bank of Slovenia. n/t

[paleotn]

7. What the hell is comrade KGB doing there anyway?

Didn't the Russians spend the last months of WWI fighting themselves?

[FakeNoose]

10. Russia quit the war in 1917 after their revolution

But I guess they were still considered among the Allies when the enemy was Germany. Funny how that happens.

22. Russia probably prevented Germany from defeating France and the BEF in August/Sept 1914

The German plan assumed it would take weeks for the Russian's to mobilize. Instead, two armies (1st and 2nd) were marching on East Prussia, home to a majority of the German General Staff. The German general in command of the 8th army panicked at the rate of the Russian advance, fell back, resulting in his replacement with Hindenburg/Leudendorff (sp.) . . . and the transfer of the equivalent of an army from the Western advance, said loss of manpower probably allowed the 'Miracle on the Marne' to occur. Ultimately, the toughness of the Russian peasant army was offset by a Russian Stavka (General Staff) lead by those 'pleasing at court' and Prussian 'War of Maneuver' that stressed 'strategic retreat' as an equal to offense . . . plus the Russian's communicating on open wireless and lack of aerial recon . . . lead to Tannenburg, and the Russian's never really recovered. Russian actions through 1917 resulted in a significant shift of manpower from the western to the eastern front for the Germans.

In the end, just like in WWII, the Russian's suffered casualties far in excess of the 'western' allies. The current Russian leader (however objectionable) deserves to be there.

8. She looks like a Civil War soldier for the gray.

[demtenjeep]

11. why does she never use sleeves in her coats?

she should just wear panchos

[SoCalDem]

13. so she does not have to hold hands with El Creepo

[HipChick]

29. El Creepo...

[fierywoman]

21. It's her personal fashion statement, since, fashion-wise, she

has no imagination.

[malaise]

17. Choking with laughter

[Retrograde]

12. Mel, dear - normal people

put their arms inside the sleeves. I can understand that you don't want to hold Donnie's paw, but please try to remember that you're supposed to be representing your country and not acting out your passive-aggressive feelings. And this is real life: you're not on a runway at some fashion show.

Otherwise, nice outfit for a change - but she's too short-waisted to carry out those belted looks she favors. At least she doesn't look like a slob, like that guy in the red tie next to her.

[Totally Tunsie]

16. Yeah, the "guy in the red tie"...while all others are subdued.

I suspect that what he uses so he and others can quickly find him in a group photo - his way, again, of standing out from the others in attendance. "Look at ME! Look at ME!"

Oh, and those damn coat sleeves. She should just buy capes with no armholes.

[Autumn]

14. Too much plastic surgery to move her arms to put them in a sleeve?

I'm sorry but the always draped coat looks trashy. It suits her.

[SoCalDem]

15. It's the Hermann Goering look

[Thekaspervote]

19. M.A.S.H fans... "it's so nice to be nice to the nice." Of course, I would never put Loretta Swift in

The same category.

[Demonaut]

20. why is her black outfit lighter than the others?

[littlemissmartypants]

28. Putin looks happy. eom
