Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday Russia was ready to fully restore relations with the United States following the election of businessman Donald Trump as the new U.S. president.
Receiving credentials from new foreign ambassadors to Russia, Putin said he had heard Trump's campaign statements about improving ties with Moscow. He said Russia was ready do its part to achieve this but recognised it would not be easy.
Improved relations would benefit both Russia and the United States, he added.
Well of course Putin wants to restore ties.
In fact he has essentially been working along with the Trump campaign all along.
Courtesy of HuffPo:
The Russian government was in touch with members of President-elect Donald Trump’s political team during the U.S. election campaign and knows most of his entourage, one of Russia’s most senior diplomats told the Interfax news agency on Thursday.
Accused by defeated Democratic contender Hillary Clinton of being a puppet of President Vladimir Putin after praising the Russian leader, Trump has dismissed suggestions he had anything to do with the Russian government during the campaign.
But in comments that could prove politically awkward for the president-elect, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said there had indeed been some communications.
We are also getting confirmation that Russia was using Wikileaks to release the data that they hacked from various American servers in order to steal with election away from Hillary.
Courtesy of Americablog:
In a bombshell that is all too familiar to most of us, a Kremlin adviser admitted to CNN today that Russia worked with Wikileaks to get Donald Trump elected.
So yes of course Putin wants to reestablish ties with America. Why else would he have done all that he did to get his useless idiot elected?
I am not surprised they rigged the election, Trump told us the election was rigged, so I have to believe him :)
ReplyDeleteTrump can yell all he wants that he has a mandate, he doesn't, he lost the popular vote.
Therefore Trump is not my president.
I hope all the gun nutz who voted for him understand that in Russian private people are not allowed to have guns. Just saying. Trump is talking about changing the constitution in regard to Free speech "I'm going to change the libel laws" so what's to stop him from removing guns? or the 2nd amendment? What's to stop him from not even having elections anymore?
DeleteThis is serious shit.
Why they/someone hasn't taken his ass out I'm shocked.
He is that dangerous. And all the assholes/deplorables are emboldened. Randi Rhodes Twitter has a whole list of shit that has been done/said to people, women with Hijabs attacked, a woman had her vayjayyag grabbed after the aholes said "lets grab her pu$$y" it is HORRIBLE! It just started.
He needs to on trial for something that will disqualify him and all of his team including VPotus b/c he is a ahole too. WTF amerikkka?

This is not alright this s is worse than watergate documents were stolen from a postcard, party wtf
ReplyDeleteIn the end it wasn't the enemy from outside that rigged our election, it was the enemy from within.
DeleteTHE F.B.I.
The F.B.I. essentially committed a coup of our political process. Their timing was designed to take away enough support from Hillary that she couldn't regain it before the election. The second letter was designed to absolve them of any blame or accusation of partisanship.
Personally, I'd like to see Comey tried and convicted. Mastermind or unwilling dupe, I really don't give a damn. But I doubt that will happen. He'll be rewarded for what he did. He singlehandedly gave Trump the election.
I doubt the Republicans are going to clean house either.
The F.B.I. is going to become Trump's new SS. Nope, not Secret Service. The Schutzstaffel. Comey will be Trump's Himmler.
I'm sure more and more dirt will come out. But none of it will matter to his supporters. Nothing could get them to even take pause when considering whether to vote for him or not. The worse he proved himself to be, the more they salivated over a Trump presidency.
ReplyDeleteI just hope that anything worthy of an investigation gets investigated. He'd better not just be let off the hook. And the court cases against him now had also better continue. It's a shame he ever got a postponement on the Trump Univ. trial.
I think he'll be impeached in the not too distant future. He's already got so much out there against him and more is to be proven as noted on this blog site.
DeleteI just hope the Republican party doesn't somehow get rid of the lawsuits - OR that folks are paid off somehow to close down their suits!
We already know that Trump is a thief and will do ANYTHING to win! His ego cannot take defeat in any way!
And I hope that anyone out there who has good reason to take him to court or to at least speak up and make it known that he assaulted them or otherwise committed crimes against them will not be silenced because they now see him as even more powerful.
DeleteI think your right. If Impeachment proceedings are not started already it will be. There is just too much to ignore, forgive and accept. Our elementary Children are experiencing serious anxiety and stress, bullying, Our citizens are protesting, scared, crying, living in fear and terror? Scholars question results. Many citizens have been abused or assaulted and victims of such a person screaming at them. Many have been directly affected. This is not right and basically this campaign is similar to the trump friends, the bundy's, and their takeover of our national wildlife protected area. Same thing. Part of the campaign of bullies and behavior, Odd Fires, Train wrecks, Mass Shootings, Tragic events, hackers, etc. Look up the communist agenda's and plans for the usa in the 50's 60's, forgot what it was called but it was like, Create chaos, divide families, put fear, anger, herion, vodka, sex, Viagra, sick addiction, ignorance, mental illness and warfare in society. Then interfere in usa election. Very erie and Russian. Pay attention. Read. Speak up.
DeleteBut then we get Pence. He's a right wing Christian zealot.

Is everyone paying attention to how much the Trump presidency (he's not my president!) is going to cost the taxpayer?
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be far more than any other president in our history!
Think about it! Security for all of his family members (adult kids included), protecting the airspace over the Trump Tower in New York, all the security that has been put in front of the Trump Tower in New York and his other properties, security agents specifically for him (probably is going to have to be even more than previous presidents because more people want to get rid of him than ever before!), the fact he doesn't pay federal income taxes and I'm sure there are other things for which I've forgotten.
This Trump guy is a liar, fraud, will be inept for the position, is still going to be involved with the financial side of his businesses (along w/his adult children), has not released his income taxes for public view and is already limiting press coverage. It would be interesting to see what he does NOT pay in real estate taxes to New York City. Bet he's found some way around them too!
He's only going to get worse w/his dictatorship of our country. Pay attention Americans - will there be ample reasons to impeach him sometime within his four-year term? Would not surprise me at all!
Don't forget too - Putin loves the guy - he knows he's a pansy, or is it pussy (?), and easily manipulated. Putin already has his number!
Just wait until those who voted for him figure out exactly what they elected, and it's going to hit them HARD. Don't come whining, asshats!
DeletePutin is definitely an empty threat kind of douchebag. But I see no real harm in this.
ReplyDeleteMyjr harm comes from south of Russia. Where the truly dangerous assholes are. The culture that the Us the best drunk food at midnight. The Chinese.
Putin is NOT harmless. Between Trump and Putin, Trump is definitely less dangerous.
DeleteDonny Boy's definitely a problem, but with his penchant for telling stories and his inability to shut up, we'll have some idea what to expect. Unless, as some are hoping, the Donald undergoes a radical change in personality after January 20th. I don't think we'll need to worry about that, though. This IS Trump's personality.
Why isn't the media hammering Trump about his birtherism claims now that he's met Obama, called him a "good man" and said he looks forward to receiving Obama's counsel? Trump should be held to account on this.
ReplyDeleteThe media has always done a shit job when it comes to businessman, candidate and now elected Trump! They have NEVER been truthful about him!
DeleteThe guy is a fucking asshole and loser and is not my president. I cannot believe how the media is now making him the nice guy - he'll be a wonderful POTUS - he's no longer bombastic - what a joke! He's 70 years old and is not going to change from the 'candidate' Trump where he showed his 'real' elite whiteness.
Stop watching FOX, CNN and certain folks on MSNBC! I swear to God, they are lying to all of us....and folks have fallen for it and elected a man not qualified at all to be POTUS and represent America. The world thinks we are fucking nuts!
If this election was rigged and the authorities are claiming it was. Why are the results are allowed to stand? Is the federal government working for the Russians? No evidence has been produced that there was tampering by the Russians. The media and certain political personalities are saying this is what happened but no one has produced proof. Oh according to professor Theodore Postol professor of science, technology and international security at MIT there is no way to determine the culprit in breaches in cyber security by state actors.
ReplyDeleteSince Donald Trump won his bid for the White House, the women of America have been suffering Trump Traumatic Stress Disorder.
ReplyDeleteI wish I were kidding. But I’m not. This is real and it’s serious.
At first I thought it was just me. But then all of my friends told me they too were unable to stop crying and in between crying, were throwing up or so nauseated they couldn’t eat. They can’t sleep. They’re having nightmares about Trump. Then women shared these feelings with me on Twitter and Facebook and more and more notes poured in.

ReplyDeleteHe can't be impeached until after he is sworn in and it can't be for acts he committed before being sworn in as president.
DeleteHOWEVER, if it is egregious enough and there is a large enough group in agreement, the electoral college can "elect" another president. That's what the electoral college was created for. As a safeguard against an ignorant populace electing a Tyrant or a madman. I'd say they did both.
We'd still have a Republican, likely Pence, but at least it wouldn't be Trump.
And Trump himself didn't fix the election. That was Putin, Assange and Comey. Trump simply took advantage of the situation.

So American, it appears that no one reads in this country anymore. I am reading a book called killing the Messenger, the right wing plot to derail Hillary and hijack your government by a former Republican named David Brock. This book was published in 2015. No one studies anymore. We just let our government tell us what to do. We let the tv tell us what is, and on these web sites we believe that all are honest abes. Not so. There are lies, lies, lies. And no one reads anymore because it's too easy to just read shit off the sites, papers, and listen to Fox yammer on and the other networks too. They are the ones who gave Trump free airtime and he's laughing about it. American, educate thineself We are being played by some players. Now for four years we cry because we thought this was just a game. It's not. These fuckers are dead serious about turning this shit into hunger games. Now go read. We have years to go. Dumbasses are gonna run our country because we like thinking the right would not go there. Well, they did. They went there. They sold us out to Russia and Putin is making his demands barely subtle about it. It's hard to prove because these are big players but wake up and stop being so naive. It's about exploiting this world and making oneself rich. No ideals. No God. Nothing. Just taking advantage of the system like bedbugs gone amok in a mattress.
ReplyDeleteYou think just because it's in a hard copy book it's gospel? Did you vet the sources for that book? The author? The publisher?

"Trump is likely to appoint Jeffrey Eisenach the new FCC chairman, according to Politico. A fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, he has been an open and public critic of Chairman Wheeler and his policies. So, step one under the new FCC could be rolling back or undermining the Open Internet Order. It could mean the Internet will no longer be classified as a utility, and ISPs will have the option, say, to make consumers pay more for high-speed access to Netflix. This will have a huge effect on streaming services in particular.
The FCC recently passed new rules that protect consumer privacy by requiring Internet providers to get permission from subscribers before selling their data to third-parties. As with other FCC regulations under Wheeler and Obama, this, too, could be on the chopping block.
Given Trump’s firm anti-regulatory platform, there’s a good chance we can expect major changes like this that limit–or eliminate altogether–net neutrality protections in America."

I am extremely skeptical of how states like Pennsylvania and Michigan suddenly turned red. It may be that the GOP with their new friends, the Russians, overdid their messing with the results. I wish there was some way to verify how the votes in states like the ones mentioned above and Florida and Wisconsin were really tabulated. I wish we'd go back to paper ballets which can actually be recounted if need be.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
You and me both!!
Delete"How could that happen? The short answer is key Democratic voters didn’t bother to go vote, while white Republican voters in rural areas of swing states did.
DeleteIn 2000, turnout was low, with a 55.3 percent turnout by eligible voters helping to hand Bush the White House after the infamous contest in Florida was decided by the Supreme Court. Based on initial vote tallies, turnout for the 2016 election will be the lowest since then, when Al Gore won the popular contest, but lost the Electoral College, 271 to 266.
Trump is doing better. And just 55.7 percent of people eligible to vote ― about 128 million people ― showed up at the polls, according to early estimates.
That’s a huge drop from President Barack Obama’s first election, when 131 million people ― 62.2 percent of eligible voters ― went to the polls. Even in the less-inspiring 2012 contest, 130 million voters turned out, or about 58.6 percent.
Exactly which populations didn’t show up, and where, is still somewhat uncertain, but some trends look pretty clear.
The Washington Post found that Trump ran up margins in small cities and rural areas in swing states like North Carolina, while Clinton merely matched Obama’s 2008 margins in the big urban areas. In Philadelphia, Obama got about 600,000 votes then. Clinton had about 560,000 Tuesday.
White working-class voters in the rural areas turned out in huge numbers and voted even more heavily for Republicans than before. This is what made Virginia so close and tilted North Carolina to Trump.
And the Democratic voters in those areas stayed home. “Democratic voters engaged early, but in those rural and Midwestern areas, they disengaged later,” said Michael McDonald, who runs the United States Elections Project. “On Election Day, they didn’t show up." "
"“Hillary Clinton in many ways represents a world many people in this country would like to move on from,” he said, adding that young and minority voters were “unenthusiastic about Clinton.”
Sosnik credited the “emerging populist movement” of Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) with “reshuffling the deck from blue to red.”
“People feel like they’ve gone backwards … that the world is changing and they’re being left behind,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a watershed moment in changing our politics going forward.”
A clear example of Trump’s strength in rural areas comes in Minnesota’s Red Lake County near Grand Forks and the North Dakota border. In 2012, Romney won this county with 50 percent when 1,963 people voted. Trump won the county by 61 percent with a lower turnout of 1,871."
"The biggest shift among demographic groups toward Trump came from people making $30,000 or less. The poorest Americans increased their support for Republicans by 18 percentage points from 2012."
The DNC basically ignored all of this, ran their campaign the way they always have (except for when Howard Dean was in charge) and assumed they could count on the states that have been voting blue. They were guilty of hubris. They didn't listen to the people and couldn't read the shift in the populace. Bernie did. That's why they were so shocked he did as well as he did.

The inherent flaw of unlimited democracy is that everyone gets a vote, regardless of IQ level. People like Trump voters, with retardation level intelligence, have doomed your country and yourselves.

Fascism just got hold of the United States. We are now seeing the worst of the worst elevated to positions of incredible power. Racism has been legitimized and the reports of hate crimes are rolling in. Trans children are committing suicide. Stock prices of private prisons and coal have skyrocketed. Women are months away from truly losing the right to control their own bodies. Marriage equality is under attack. The safety net is about to be destroyed. Hard won progress on climate change is about to go down the toilet. We are about to lose all regulations on the financial industry. Millions are terrified of being rounded up for deportation. Muslims are facing honest to God persecution. We’ve gotten confirmation that the world’s most powerful dictator manipulated our election to get the result he wanted. Our allies in Europe are freaking out. Intelligence from the Middle East indicates that al-Qaeda and ISIS are over the moon with joy.
ReplyDeleteAnd the majority of the people here are refighting the primary war? Ignoring the terror of huge swaths of America to gloat? Dreaming of how this is all going to work out for them in the future?
Can people really be this stupid as to what is happening ? This blind to what is coming down the road?
If DKos is going to have any role to play in resisting what the United States now faces, in protecting the most vulnerable, somebody needs to get a hold of this place. I’ve seen this divide and conquer game played plenty of times in Africa. It is how those who want to control you, beat you. And you can bet your life that Putin and the GOP had a hand in setting us against each other in the first place.
It seriously doesn’t matter who voted for whom anymore. Who sold us down the river because they were just too precious to help fight fascism the easy way. We are now sitting in a new and truly frightening era. Yesterday means nothing.

I think Howard Dean should have put off his greedy grab at the DNC. There is plenty of time for that in a week or so, at least. Does he think the Democrats should have nominated someone equally racist, nativist and misogynistic as Trump?

He wasn't talking about Trump's America. He was talking about what he and many of us hoped the election would bring. I can assure you, Anon at 5:16 pm, that President Obama does not think we are all going to be so much better off in late January 2017 when the GOP is firmly ensconced in all three branches of the federal government. Please do not demean him.

Students Proudly Shout 'White Power' While Marching With Trump Sign At Pennsylvania School
ReplyDeleteThe news that Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential race reportedly incited racial slurs and assaults at one vocational school in Pennsylvania.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, York NAACP President Sandra Thompson revealed that she had been receiving reports of students at York Vo-Tech "being spit on, attacked, and called names because of their race or perceived Immigrant status."

ReplyDelete"Go back to Asia," said the white man, emboldened by Trump, to the American citizen. I have 3,000+ emails in my inbox of these nationwide.

Yet another reason the electoral college should work together to boot Trump. We'd still have a Republican president but at least it wouldn't be Trump. If it's Pence, we're no worse off than we are now.

Trump is already whining about how unfair the First Amendment is.

The Kock bros. vowed to own this election. They even told Hillary to her face. She and her people had all the info that the right wanted to bring her down so they were prepared. So I wonder what did they miss. They believed faulty polls. But something else is missing. It's almost like the machines were manipulated. Is that possible?
ReplyDeleteKim jong should send his missle to the "wall" when it is built if he ever would sends one. Hahaha
ReplyDeleteEasy russians communications with trump due to no media to help to write orange ape history. Me thinks, now we will see servillance on everyone around trump. Us intelligence.
ReplyDeleteMelania's father--Trump's father-in-law--was a card carrying member of the Communist Party in Slovenia when only 5% belonged to the party. She had to have been steeped in communism when growing up.
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of Melania, look at this article in the Mirror and be sure to scroll down to the photo of Melania posing on the American seal. I'm just waiting for someone to sell a calendar of her nude and provocative photos. If she has any more facelifts her eyes could disappear completely.
