As we also got caught meddling in their elections. Both countries do this constantly. However, it has never had a substantial effect in either country. Even Barack Obama has stated that it didn't in this instance. So this is just our petulant child president acting out, yet again, with three weeks left in his term of office this time.

Obama really is going out kicking and screaming, isn't he?

This is a very clever ploy by Putin. He knows that by doing this he pretends to put Trump on a pedestal, and Trump laps that it up like the narcisstic fool that he is.


While The Donald is feeling like god, Putin will have pulled so many fast ones that ultimately Trump will be exposed for the moron he is.


And we will have a very challenging task brining America back from the Trump "Take America Backwards" movement...if indeed it gains any traction. Americans are generally a pretty smart bunch, and it won't take long for them to figure out that they have been conned.


For now, Putin is very cleverly appealing to the ignoramus and making him feel like "your highness".

The Election is OVER, the Leftists LOST. Obama campaigned hard for Clinton to save his "Grand Legacy"- and even said in speeches that he would be "personally Insulted", if The Presumptive Queen did not get her Crown.

Now he is in full StompyFoot & out to cause as much trouble as possible for his perceived enemies, Donald Trump & anyone who voted for Trump. I think the entire Russian thing is about Narrative ... The Slap on Israel is not going well for him, so he will give the Media a new bone to change the narrative - it's a plus if he can manage to convince anyone that Clinton did you lose because she was a horrible candidate will a failed message & legacy. TeamObama is going to have a difficult time explaining why it took him 8 years to decide to look "tough" about National Security. He just looks foolish & more feckless. #SoreLoser

No question, we have a former KGB agent trolling a reality TV star.

This country is screwed. I hope that, for the first time in decades, the Republican Party can do something good, and keep this country from going over the edge by reigning in their leader.

Hopefully. Trump will be able to have better relations with Russia. That will be a very good thing.

Bad Vlad is laughing at 0Boy. And like many of us, he's counting the days 'til Jan 20. It can't come soon enough.


It's almost amusing to watch the media reports. One would almost think they believe the crap they're spouting. Who writes their nonsense? As is so consistent with stupid people, they didn't understand the memo we sent them telling them they have ZERO credibility.


Where's Hag Hillary's reset button when we need it? Trump has it and I'll bet he spelled RESET correctly.

Lots of Putin love on this board. People really believe he has any altruistic reasons for any of his actions?

That's not even close to the truth. Vast majority of Republicans are in agreement about this. Very few of them (like Trump) are taking Russia's side in this.

" As the next Congress reviews Russian actions against networks associated with the U.S. election, we must also work to ensure that any attack against the United States is met with an overwhelming response.” - Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell

Well, we are deporting 35 Russian spies and closing two of their listening and espionage centers. How many are left? Enough so that the Russian spy presence in America will continue unabated, you may be certain.

Some smack. The kind an adolescent girl might deliver.
