    Putin is basically a mafia thug. Yeah, much to admire when his opponents mysteriously disappear or are found dead.

    Never.

    That's a picture of YOUR President doing what he's best at... consorting with America's enemies.

    Now all of a sudden, it's okay with the GOP.
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    Right, Putin, a known Stalin style exterminator of political enemies. You are OK with that.
    You are also OK with Idi Amin, Charles Taylor, Gaddafi and Leopold II, right?

    Jump, Putin says jump!

    That is odd, under real pictures I can't find it. I haven't looked up gay porn because I don't swing for your team.

    Anyway, good luck coming to terms with your sexuality.

    Is that a double standard?

    So why did you bring up the subject of gay porn then, Yobyob?

    Sounds to me like it's a subject that is frequently on your mind.

    Or what passes for a mind with you.

    you completely miss Putin's gambits that have paid off.. The Little Green Men was a masterpiece.
    By the time NATO figured it out, Crimea was in Russia's hands with not a shot fired.

    The question why Putin's hand was forced,but he did what he had to for Sevastopol access-
    as well as made threats to end the lease moot.

    I don't get why Trump was admonished not to congratulate Putin.
    We are not at war with Russia. American presidents have licked the feet of Saudi princes for half a century, and they are worse than Putin when you really think about it.

    It's just diplomacy to be courteous.
    The real frank talk happens behind closed doors, and that is the appropriate venue to be direct and forthright with the Russian oligarch.

    The thing that is weird, is Putin is pretty much the only person on the planet that Trump goes out of his way to be polite to, to be courteous to.... we might even say he kisses Putin's pasty white ass.

    That is totally out of character for Trump, who will rage tweet at Oprah, at Alec Baldwin, at Mueller, at Haiti and other shithole countries. But he acts like Putin's leather-clad submissive gimp. When you really think about it, it is just freakishly weird!

    President Trump did not follow specific warnings from his national security advisers when he congratulated Russian President Vladi*mir Putin Tuesday on his reelection, including a section in his briefing materials in all-capital letters stating “DO NOT CONGRATULATE,” according to officials familiar with the call.

    Trump also chose not to heed talking points from aides instructing him to condemn Putin about the recent poisoning of a former Russian spy in the United Kingdom with a powerful nerve agent, a case that both the British and U.S. governments have blamed on Moscow.

    The president’s conversation with Putin, which Trump called a “very good call,” prompted fresh criticism of his muted tone toward one of the United States’s biggest geopolitical rivals amid the ongoing special counsel investigation into Russia’s election interference and the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russian officials.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...=.cfc9db967cb3

    “President Obama called Russian President-elect and Prime Minister Putin to congratulate him on his recent victory in the Russian Presidential election,” the White House said in a late Friday afternoon statement (read: news dump) about the Friday morning phone call between the two leaders.
    SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.
