1. A bigger cut in Rosneft.

2. Not even trying to hide it

3. The art of capitulation

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

4. Why should Putin give anything in return?

Doesn't he already own drumpf?

[Squinch]

8. He already gave him the election. He's owed now.

6. How reliable is this?

"Two former officials familiar with the preparations"

While it sounds like something tRumpkims would do, I'm learning to wait for better sources than the ones cited to pass judgement. I've been burned by reposting stories that later turned out to be untrue

7. as reliable as Julian Borger's sources

Some of the reported 'concessions' have already been the subject of recent press accounts.

9. "It is not clear what Putin would be asked to give in return"

[gratuitous]

10. As long as Trump doesn't bow to Putin, he's golden

Whoops, I mean, Trump will be all right with his dwindling cadre of supporters.

11. Yo, Donnie...

Why not just full-on fellatio for Putin?

Or, have we already passed that stage?
