Of course they are publicly laughing.

Privately, they are steaming mad.

Insults flow like water off of a duck's back. Obama has eight years of experience shedding water.

Why?

There is absolutely no down side to them.

Russia has proved time and time again that when Obama "huffs & puffs", he ends up on the losing side of the stick. Putin just engineered a major peace treaty involving Syria & Turkey. The world takes notice of that. They laugh at Obama's girly man response.

It is when it's official embassy's doing the mocking. Can't remember this happening to any other President.

Actually, as far as the world goes he's done pretty well, it's only in those countries led by the murderous thugs the Reps gravitate to that mock him. They'll continue to snicker behind the next President's back.

Slinging insults is always done in an attempt to conceal a weak position. It's a dodge.

Not surprised to see Trump-Russia swooners celebrate anti-US insults. This is what is has come to. I agree with the other poster who said Russia has planted some trolls even here at CD. Nothing else can explain such anti-US and pro-Russia mindset.

In the past when foreign leaders have called US the great satan etc, you'd never see Americans cheer them.

How's the investigation into Homeland Security's hack into Georgia, Kentucky, and West Virginia's voting system progressing?


DHS now says Georgia “hack” of voter rolls had “legitimate purpose”

Last week, Georgia’s Secretary of State Brian Kemp announced that Georgia voter rolls had been hacked following the November presidential election. The Department of Homeland Security responded promptly saying the attempt to access voter rolls was either a rogue employee or a malicious third party.

But now they are changing their tune. The attempted breach of the state agency’s firewall was traced back to an office U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

...
According to DHS, someone on the federal department’s security network was conducting legitimate business on the state office’s website in an effort to verify a professional license administered by the state – a service the SOS manages.
Usually when you point the finger at someone, there are three other fingers pointing back at yourself.


--------------------------


You know what's really laughable?


All of a sudden - the government is concerned about security... we just had a major party candidate come three states away from winning the presidency, who broke the law in how she handles he secure emails. That's wasn't a problem. It just looks bad.
