Putin came to Alaska and refused Trump's pleas to end Russia's war against Ukraine. The White House tried to spin that ill-advised summit into at least a draw between Putin and Trump, but when the Kremlin's dictator shows up with no interest in negotiation, speaks first at a press conference, and then caps the day by declining a carefully planned lunch and flying home, that's a humiliation, not an exchange of views.

Fat Smelvis got teabagged in Alaska just like he did in Helsinki.

It's so weird how Republicans don't realize Trump is destroying the country.

But I guess history tells this story time and time again.
