Analysis: New Trump-Putin meeting will "complicate" Russia message, midterms
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Congresswoman Maxine Waters is urging her supporters to not be baited into a confrontation with what she calls an anti-government militia group that is expected to protest at her Los Angeles district office Thursday. “I am requesting those individuals and groups planning a counter-protest to not be baited into confronting the Oath Keepers with any demonstrations in opposition – such an occurrence would only exacerbate tensions and increase the potential for conflict,” Waters said in a statement she released Wednesday. Please read my statement on the Oath Keepers' planned protest at my district office tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/1ZALWLaZJS — Maxine Waters (@RepMaxineWaters) July 19, 2018 A far-right group called the Oath Keepers is reportedly planning to demonstrate at Waters’ offices in response to her call for people who are angry about the recent separation of families at the border to confront members of the Trump administration. “The Oath Keepers have a history of engaging in violent and provocative behavior. The group is known to protest in military-style clothing while carrying various assault weapons,” Waters’ statement said. “The Oath Keepers would like nothing more to inflame racial tensions and create an explosive conflict in our community.” Counter-protesters have gathered outside Congresswoman Maxine Waters office ahead of a protest by the Oath Keepers. The militia group is upset by comments Rep. Waters made about confronting the Trump administration. LAPD officers are also on hand. pic.twitter.com/jjNU5G2T77 — Kandiss Crone (@KandissCroneTV) July 19, 2018 The group is known for its heavily-armed members showing up wherever the national spotlight happens to be shining at that moment, like in Ferguson, Mo. on the anniversary of Michael Brown’s fatal shooting by police. Earlier this year, there was a call for members to stand armed guards outside schools after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Waters says Los Angeles Police officers and personnel will be on site to ensure safety and security at her office.

Maxine Waters Cautions Supporters Against Confrontation With ‘Oath Keepers’ Militia-Style Group
(CNN) — For the second month in a row, Time magazine has put a provocative photo illustration of President Donald Trump on its cover — this time, morphing him into Russian President Vladimir Putin. In it, Trump’s distinctive blonde hair, wispy eyebrows and pursed lips merge with Putin’s nose and blue eyes. The stunning photo illustration, by visual artist Nancy Burson, “is meant to represent this particular moment in US foreign policy, following the pair’s recent meeting in Helsinki, Finland,” Time said in a statement. Trump has weathered heavy criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike for his performance at the meeting, where he publicly sided with Putin over US intelligence agencies’ assessment that the Russians interfered in the 2016 presidential election. Since coming back home from Finland, the President has changed his messaging and now says he holds Putin personally responsible for the election meddling and believes the assessment of government intelligence agencies. In addition to the still image for the July 30 issue, Burson created a video image as well, which morphs back and forth between the seemingly-ever changing appearances of the two men. TIME’s new cover: Trump wanted a summit with Putin. He got way more than he bargained for https://t.co/sUu9gGKmmP pic.twitter.com/qq6iOjlis1 — TIME (@TIME) July 19, 2018 Just last month, Time used the President in another striking image on its cover, when the Trump administration’s policy that separated families crossing the US border was dominating the headlines. In that stark photo illustration, the towering figure of Trump looms over a sobbing child, who is the subject of a now-iconic photograph taken by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer John Moore. “Welcome to America,” the illustration reads. Use of the photo of the child generated controversy as well, after it was revealed that the 2-year-old Honduran girl had not been separated from her mother at the border. The latest image was created by a photography pioneer Burson, the designer of the latest cover, is a trailblazer in this type of art, starting with her work 30 years ago with scientists at MIT which led to the development of computer-generated compositing technology. She’s best known for developing a photographic face-aging technique that the FBI uses to find missing children, according to the Time statement. Her most famous aged image is the one of kidnapped 6-year-old Etan Patz that was on the front page of the New York Post in 1985. It showed what Patz might have looked like six years after his kidnapping. Burson told Time her goal with the Trump-Putin image was to make people “stop and think” about the similarities between the two leaders. “What my work has always been about is allowing people to see differently,” she said. “The combining of faces is a different way for people to see what they couldn’t see before.” The-CNN-Wire & © 2018 Cable News Network, Inc., a Time Warner Company.

Trump Met With Bipartisan Disapproval
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump wanted to make an important point. And then the lights went out. Trump was saying Tuesday that he has “full faith” in the U.S. intelligence agencies in the aftermath of his Helsinki news conference when the lights in the White House Cabinet Room dimmed and briefly went out, leaving the room mostly in darkness. As Pres Trump was talking about he summit with Putin, the lights went out in the Cabinet Room, but came back on a few seconds later. pic.twitter.com/aGOWWx6sJn — Mark Knoller (@markknoller) July 17, 2018 “Whoops, they just turned off the lights. That must be the intelligence agencies,” the president joked to members of his Cabinet, lawmakers and the assembled media. As the lights were quickly switched on, Trump asked if everyone was OK. “That was strange. But that’s OK,” he said, returning to his statement. WASHINGTON, DC – JULY 17: The lights temporally go out in the Cabinet Room as U.S. President Donald Trump talks about his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with House Republicans at the White House on July 17, 2018 in Washington, DC. Following a diplomatic summit in Helsinki, Trump faced harsh criticism after a press conference with Putin where he would not say whether he believed Russia meddled with the 2016 presidential election. (Photo by Mark Wilson/Getty Images) Trump was trying to make clear after his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin that he fully supports the U.S intelligence community and its finding that Russia interfered in the 2016 elections. His remarks came during a meeting with Vice President Mike Pence, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and several members of Congress, including Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas. The president was discussing Republican tax legislation that’s expected to be considered in September. (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
