OK... Doesn't explain why people like you suddenly flipped sides on Russia...

I was here when Obama made the comments, and there was no Conservative support for pleasant diplomatic relations with Russia. Suddenly, y'all have seen the light?

Of course Putin himself said NO SUCH THING as the title implies but I guess misdirection should come as no surprise from supporters of a consummate scam-artist.

Now yall are like... "Finally someone that's going to be diplomatic w/ Russia." Tell us what changed...

Nothing. We know Conservatives have no integrity with their beliefs, it's just about scoring political points.



Whether they're wearing Russian uniforms or Russian army "defectors," the motives & actions are the same. If you don't want to call it an invasion, fine.

There's nothing wrong w/ being a Pro-Russian lobbyist if you want Pro-Russian opinions and directions. Based on the rest of the world's stance to Russia right now, that's not the direction an advisor to the President should have. Our allies, and to a lesser extent, the US, have serious issues with Russia acting out on the world stage. A sudden reversal to side with Russia against our allies is going to do more to destabilize the region than our current path.
It's all so confusing, isn't it??
Sigh.
Makes me wish Hillary had won, as then it all would have been so much simpler: whoever wrote the biggest checks would be the Good Guys.
Alas.....

Russians didn't need to vote in the US election, it was very easy for them to pump this election full of fake news articles, since they have learned that a large majority of Americans would believe anything they read on the internet. Thus is how the era of fake news began.

We all know Russia didnt do jack poop. The Libs would do anything they can to all of a sudden turn on a Democratic (!) process, that did not yield the result they want.

Now, just imagine if Trump had been asking the recount.

All this Russia nonsense is is Recount 2.0.

Yes, I imagine it is much easier to stick your head in the sand rather than realize the damages Russia has done....I am sure we will expect to see a lot of this happening over the next four years as the US becomes Russia's lapdog....my only question is how long will it take you guys to realize that Trump is going to bend over for Putin and America is gonna have to take it.

Funny thing is when Russia was the communist U.S.S.R., liberals never bad mouthed it like they are doing now.
Bernie honeymooned there.

Its not confusing at all. The only change is a different name on the "pay to the order of" line. Well that and the fact that it won't take near the same amount of money. Sometimes just a few feigned polite and complementary words will achieve the same result.

Anything they read on the internet? We generally don't get past the headline!
