Russia to Obama:

[ThorOdinson13]

New in the just released statement, Putin laughed off Obama's 11th hour temper tantrum, and said that Russia won’t cause problems to U.S. diplomats or deport anyone, adding that Russia has the right to respond in tit-for-tat manner, but it will not engage in irresponsible diplomacy.

The punchline, however, was saved for what may be Russia's final slam of the debacle that is Obama's administration saying that "It’s a pity that the current U.S. administration is finishing their work in such a manner" saying that Russia refuses "to sink to the level of this irresponsible "kitchen" diplomacy."

Putin ended the statement by congratulating U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, and the American people on the New Year and invited the hildren of US diplomats to a holiday celebration at the Kremlin.

Ouch

Pretty well played really. He makes a kitchen comment which is really just calling Obama a bitch, then he trolls the sore losers by congratulating Trump, and he tops it off with inviting our diplomats to a holiday event.

But Hillary was supposed to inherit the throne! Damn Russians.

Putin has been three steps ahead of Obama for the last eight years. I just think he's really a smart guy and probably already understands how to get what he wants out of Trump by stroking his ego.

It's really amazing how terrible Obama has been with respect to foreign policy. Our allies don't like us, our enemies dupe us left and right, and we always come off looking stupid and weak. I think it's pretty funny how Israel and Russia are just blowing Obama off.

Difference is (I believe) is that from all the deals he's done over decades in business, Trump KNOWS Putin wants something. Trump will WANT something, so they move to creating deals that are mutually beneficial.

Obama looks so small from all this. Like someone who felt emotionally abandoned/neglected as a child, who doesn't "own' himself, and who now throws a tantrum and thinks it's okay to do so.

Can you imagine Obama playing beer pong?!

I can't either, at least not without cracking up inside at how effeminate it would appear.

Funny how conservatives believe the Russian government over their own American government. Funny like in a totally crazy, destructive, treasonous funny way.

Anything for power. Literally sell out any interest, shit on any value - just acquire political power regardless of how or from whom it is obtained. Putin helped Trump. End of analysis.

 

[NeekReevers]

My comment had nothing to do with believing Russia, it had to do with Putin making Obama look stupid time and time again. I think Trump will be overmatched as well, but I hope not.

 

[CBradSmith]

Lol.

"Analysis."

I don't think that means what you understand it to mean. At minimum, you don't demonstrate that understanding here. Like Obama, you hang your hat on impression and what you can convince people of. Half the time I imagine a thought bubble over your head with something like this "I don't even belief this, but...cant....give....an....inch."

Now go sit in your chair and feel smart, smartie Mcsmartiepants.

Yes, our government has been so honest during the past 16 years. Why on earth would anybody question the apparatus that brought us such honest goodies like the Iraq war, the genocide in Libya, ambassador killed because of a video, ISIS is the JV team, Fast and Furious, wholesale spying on US citizens, a basement email server with no classified information, 1.7 billion cash payment to Iran, Fort Hood workplace violence, the IRS targeting, etc etc? The list is quite lengthy. And now they want me to believe that the Russians got Trump elected by exposing more lies and corruption? Sounds legit.

 

[ThorOdinson13]

Funny how Obama came out and said our elections could not ever be hacked. This was weeks after he had knowledge of the alleged hacking.

Over $500 million extra money, nearly all of Hollywood, Big Business, and the Corporate Media helped Hillary to win.......

Ohhhhhhhhh, righhhhhttttttttt

(But... a delta of $500MM+!!!! Yowzaaa)

Aaaaaand two of the Russian people just sanctioned are known hackers that have been hacking banks and ecommerce in the US since 2009. Way to go hardcore 0bama! I wonder how much hacking we would have heard about if the Queen had been awarded her deserved time on the thrown? I'd wager not much, if any. Instead we'd be hearing that we need to grow up and get on with our lives since elections have consequences. Liberals are a terribly shallow bunch of crybabies.

You are ridiculous.

I trusted them the first time - when they were mocking Trump for suggesting the election could be rigged.

I get it now, Wind and Imp et al... it's a wingnut thing!

Reposting someone else's bad photoshop isn't the same thing as making a point.

But... carry on.

I cannot stand Trump. I hate that he is the next posotus. That said, the hypocracy from Obama on the hacking is sickening. He also got outmaneuvered here. Not sure how anybody can say otherwise. I get that it may be a coping mechanism for the hillary loss (seriously, how in the holy fvck do you lose to Trump???).

Let me ask you, sys. Do you believe that the realeased DNC emails are the biggest reason Hillary lost? If your answe is anything but a resounding "yes," then you are nothing but a troll (but you do crack me up on this board, so not complaining).

 

[MegaPoke]

I would be real interested in an argument that supports both:

1. Hillary won the popular vote by 2mm+
2. Russian tampering affected the election in Trump's favor.
