I'm sure that Trump was careful to respond in a dignified manner so as not to give the impression that he is a Putin fanboy.
Nope he might as well be wearing an "I Love Pootie" t-shirt and writing in his diary about how handsome he is on horseback.Trump: "A very nice letter from Vladimir Putin; his thoughts are so correct.

You know I think Benedict Arnold at least PRETENDED like he was not working for the British.
By the way in one of his press conferences Putin claims that "only Moscow" beleived in Trump's chances of winning. Gee I wonder why?
Courtesy of Reuters:
Putin dismissed suggestions Moscow had helped Trump to victory in any way however.
"It's not like that," he said. "All of this (the accusations) speaks of the current administration's systemic problems."
However right after saying that, Putin added this:
Putin, who spoke positively of Trump before his election win, said that only Moscow had believed in his victory however.
"Trump understood the mood of the people and kept going until the end, when nobody believed in him," Putin said, adding with a smile. "Except for you and me."
Wow, virtually every poll in the country suggested that Trump was going to lose, and that he was going to lose big, but Putin and his pals in Moscow were totally confident he was going to win?
Gee nothing at all suspicious about that, right?
In other parts of the news conference Putin launched scathing attacks against the Democrats sounding far more like a contributor to Breitbart than as the leader of a sovereign nation.
Which I am sure also means absolutely nothing.
All that crap about nuclear war was all crap.

ReplyDeleteIn the Trump World Order, Everybody Bows Down
Out: the middle class, Europe, compassion. In: the 1 percent, Russia, domination. And those sons. And a “First Lady” who isn’t the wife.
Welcome to Trumpworld, where unwilling Rockettes are forced to high kick in short skirts for the president’s pleasure while a creepy band of accused domestic abusers looks on and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings solemn hymns in the background. Over in the VIP tent, a crew of gleaming Wall Street bankers and corporate raiders do Veuve Clicquot toasts to their plans to sell Yellowstone Park to capped-teeth mining magnates while finally freeing themselves from “social insurance and healthcare for the poor.”
The casting call at Trump Tower will deliver a kakistocratic tour de force for our four-year reality show, including a vague send-up of J.R. Ewing at Foggy Bottom, the ghost of George Wallace gleefully ripping up copies of the Voting Rights Act at Justice, a pretty brown lady at the UN, a black guy doing “urban housing” and a paranoid Colonel Klink knock-off phoning Moscow to dish the latest conspiracy theories from the National Security desk in the West Wing. Let’s not forget the rumpled white nationalist gurgling in the president’s ear about never forgetting Euro-Christian civilization and our white-haired national preacher V.P. tut-tutting working women to embrace motherhood and let the men do the jobbing as his friends in Congress place their birth control on the high shelf. Meanwhile, the First Lady will be silently glimmering on the cover of Women’s Wear Daily, while the president’s wife shuts down Saks Fifth Avenue in New York for a jaunty day of dress shopping, and her lawyers sue “unhelpful” bloggers into the dust.
The president’s sons will be there too; muscling D.C. maître-d’s for the best tables and perhaps forming 501c3s with their college buddies to extract “charitable donations” from the magnates—foreign and domestic—who’ll want to get next to dear old dad. If the “mainstream media” catches on, they’ll just shut down one “charity” and start another. After all, up-sell, fail and move on to the next mark is how The Boss did it with the banks that lent to him over the years.

ReplyDeleteThe money should start rolling in properly by January, as bookings at the family hotels around the globe go from nothing to breathtaking, once foreign diplos get the message. And if any bad guys threaten the new American Brand Name, no worries: the commander in chief can simply deploy the U.S.A.’s military finest to guard the Trump luxury properties with their lives.
The old hotness, Europe, will fade fast. The new hotness, Russia, will be our new, nuclear family. Together, we’ll fight the Godless and God-alternative; the secular, bleeding heart liberal Europeans with their weakness for “refugees,” the Muslims, Arab and Persian alike, and The Boss’ arch-nemeses, the Chinese.
For the heartland: there may not be millions of new manufacturing jobs, but there will be spectacle: Screaming Mexican women and children dragged off by the border patrol! … Mosques infiltrated and raided like an overnight house party! … Good Christian justices of the peace turn away gay couples; offer free sessions to pray their way to hetero bliss instead! … And Black Lives Matter protests crushed by armor-clad hero cops joined by their brothers in federal law enforcement! … Pretty soon, they’ll all get the message of law and order. They’ll shut up. And if they show up to vote, they’ll find their polling places closed or moved; their names erased from the rolls, and little choice but to go home. Even if they manage to win a few races here and there, the GOP’s state house enforcers will just strip those “winners” of their power. North Carolina’s brazen Republican partisans have already shown us the way.
And not to worry—Congress won’t do a damned thing about it. They know what’ll happen if they try: one tweet from The Boss and the frog bros will come for the Republicans.
Besides, they’re getting what they want: tax cuts for their rich funders who may soon get a crack at gambling the Social Security trust fund for obscene profits, and maybe even drug tests for their meddlesome poor. No more squishy “healthy school lunch programs” and climate change scaremongering. That’s all over with. The Boss will find out who in government has been pushing that anti-capitalist “science” and purge them. The Dems are already too scared, scattered and broken to fight back, so they won’t be a problem either. They’ll be coopted or crushed. Democracy is just a word anyway. What really counts is power.
See, in the Trump World Order, it’s all about “respect.” As Omarosa said: the endgame is, everybody bows down. Everybody.

ReplyDeleteIt has cost New York City $35 million to protect Drumpf since the election and Florida residents are stuck with bills for Thanksgiving and the Holidays
Long long ago when kings roamed the West, people feared the royal court’s visit. The king and his retinue would eat his hosts out of hearth and home and all would suffer as a result. Those days have returned, with New York City having spent a whopping $35 million to protect Drumpf since the election.
Remember when Republicans were always complaining about Obama vacations? Now they have something else to complain about, not that they’ve stopped complaining about Obama.
New York Police Department’s deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism John Miller complained the city got back only $7 million, saying, “it’s not fair to New York City because … this is an unfunded federal mandate.”
The New York Post earlier reported that “The Secret Service is eyeing two contiguous floors for over 250 agents and cops” at Drumpf Tower, using two entire floors of the building complete with a 24/7 command post.
Obviously, with the Obama’s being residents solely of the White House when not on vacation, such additional precautions and expensives are not required.
And New York City isn’t alone. Drumpf is a glowering presence on Palm Beach, Florida, as well. The Hill reports,
“Florida members of Congress have asked the Justice and Homeland Security departments to reimburse Palm Beach County for hundreds of thousands of dollars spent protecting President-elect Donald Drumpf when he stays at his Mar-a-Lago resort.”
Drumpf spent four very expensive days there over Thanksgiving, and he plans to further inflict himself on the locals, who already anted up $250K for that visit, for another ten days over the holidays.
So Senators Bill Nelson (D); Marco Rubio (R); and Reps. Alcee Hastings (D), Ted Deutch (D), Lois Frankel (D), and Patrick Murphy (D) have joined forces to write to Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to ask “the agencies to use funds allocated by the continuing resolution Congress passed last month to repay the county for its expenses.”
...And Drumpf has quite the retinue, including not only his Secret Service detail but his own private security goons. Attempts by both Politico and Salon to find out who Drumpf plans to bill for this extra security have been ignored by the transition team.
As we know already, however, Drumpf likes to use other peoples’ money to pay for things, so it is unlikely he plans to pick up the bill for anything he isn’t forced to. Much depends on the Republican-controlled Congress. And he’s already proven you can make a profit off running for president.

Trump Launches Into THIRD Twitter Meltdown Of The Day, Racist Muslim Attack (DETAILS)
ReplyDelete... The terrorist who killed so many people in Germany said just before crime, "by God's will we will slaughter you pigs, I swear, we will……
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 23, 2016
slaughter you. This is a purely religious threat, which turned into reality. Such hatred! When will the U.S., and all countries, fight back?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 23, 2016
First of all, to frame the attack as “purely religious” is ludicrous. Trump might as well have said the attack was “purely German.”
Trump, in saying “this is a purely religious threat,” plays right into the terrorists’ game. He is making idealistic excuses for why the incident occurred, when he could be forming strategy over how to keep the nation safe.
In the real world, there is much more to fighting against terrorism then denouncing a certain religion, as Trump has long been fond of doing.
Secondly, “when will the U.S. and all countries fight back”? Where have you been, Donald?
Where have you been while thousands upon thousands of U.S. soldiers have died over the past decade fighting wars waged in the name of “fighting back?”
Oh yeah, that’s right — you’ve been building a corrupt global real estate empire from the comfort of your gold encrusted apartment.

As to the U.N., things will be different after Jan. 20th.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 23, 2016
One simple sentence is all Trump wrote, threatening the main vehicle for global negotiations for the past several decades.
The United Nations has seen the world through decades of conflict. It has provided a forum that attempts to be equally representative to all parties through conflict after conflict, from the tension between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Cold War era to the many more regionally confined conflicts of the past decades.
And yet, Trump finds none of this worthwhile enough to warrant taking seriously, instead opting to assert that “things will be different after Jan. 20th.”

1. Claims he grabs women by the pussy.
2. Says he carries TicTacs because he can't control himself. He sees pretty women and he can't help kissing them.
3. While Trump was discussing women he did or did not find attractive, he brought up Paris Hilton, a friend of his daughter Ivanka’s.
“Now, somebody who a lot of people don’t give credit to but in actuality is really beautiful is Paris Hilton,” he said. “I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12, her parents are friends of mine, and the first time I saw her she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’”
