Peas in a pod.

As world leaders convened in Argentina for the annual G20 summit Friday morning, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman greeted each other like they were best pals.

Careful, it's eerily satisfying to watch.


Watch below:

Twitter thinks the two autocrats share a special bond in their manipulation of President Donald Trump, who coincidentally entered the room in the middle of the greeting.

The revelations of Trump's secret business dealings with Russia, along with his refusal to accept that bin Salman ordered the brutal murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, make this gif a perfect sign of the times.

Quite the bromance.

Putin and bin Salman were elated seated next to one another.

While en route to Buenos Aires Thursday, Trump abruptly canceled his scheduled meeting with Putin on Twitter.

Nevertheless, the Kremlin persisted, and Trump ended up having a quick chat with Putin Friday morning.

Kyrsten Sinema And Joe Manchin Give Dems And Labor Unions The Middle Finger With Vote

Outgoing Independent senators Kyrsten Sinema (Arizona) and Joe Manchin (West Virginia) gave Democrats and labor unions the middle finger by siding with Republicans to oppose confirming President Joe Biden's renomination of Lauren McFerran for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which will let President-elect Donald Trump seize control of the board next year.

NLRB is the federal agency responsible for safeguarding employees’ workplace rights. Sinema and Manchin's decisive “no” votes doomed the nomination, as all Senate Republicans also opposed it. Only one of their votes was needed to secure McFerran’s confirmation.
