The Official TRUMP Administration Thread.

Don't forget, we're meeting up for beers the next time I go to Vegas.

 

Last two trips we spent a couple of days on the strip, a couple of days downtown and then a couple of days at Red Rock. We'll figure out something that works for you.

 

This ought to put an end to one of the biggest whoppers told by democrats over the past several years.

But it won't.

Haters going to hate. Liars gonna...

 

With Obama making his showing and instituting sanctions/reactions, I'll bet Trump contacted Putin to quench the fire and regain his suck up status with Putin. These next four years are going to require plenty of anti acid meds for all of us.

 

LOL

Obama got punked by Putin, one last time, on his way out. Someone took the high road.

Putin: Russia won't expel US diplomats

'Classic Putin'

Putin's "extraordinary" move essentially sidelines the Obama administration while it is still in office, said CNN's former Moscow bureau chief and Russia analyst Jill Dougherty.

By declining to match the move made by Washington with tit-for-tat measures, as a Russian president normally would do, Putin is really issuing "an enormous insult" to Obama, she said.

Putin's move also represents a huge challenge to Trump, Dougherty said, because he will come into office "having Vladimir Putin essentially reach across the divide and say 'let's do this together, let's just ignore all of this and go forward'."

Dougherty added, "It's an amazing move and it's classic Putin, I would have to say -- he's a master of doing things that are unexpected, and this is truly unexpected."
​

He also invited the children of US diplomats to enjoy the new years festivities at the Kremlin.

 

Another diplomatic failure by the Nobel Peace Prize winner.

The Reset Button with Russia.

Good when Obama does it, the horror when Trump is going to succeed at it.

 

You kids and your hip-hop lingo. I just can't keep up.

Yep.

One of the two (Obama, Putin) took the high road and it wasn't Obama.

 

And the Trump haters hate that he did so, it appears. I've been seeing all sorts of anti-Trump commentary in response to his praise of Putin's restraint.

I just don't get it. Why is the traditionally anti-war crowd seemingly clamoring for more escalation of tension with our biggest potential adversary?

 

I don't get it either.

This is an opportunity to MAYBE (I stress "maybe") we can see some cooperation between the two nations instead of the stream of fighting words from our side.

First agenda item, IMO, is to get Russia to fight against ISIS in Syria. They've got the stomach for the boots on the ground required.

I'm anti-war myself, but when I see our leaders go to war, my best hope is we go for the quick victory and get out.

Russia was a thorn in W's side, too. They used their veto at the UN to discourage other nations from joining the action. Maybe it takes a bargain (and a deal maker) to get reasonable cooperation out of them.

 

Why is the traditionally pro-war crowd seemingly clamoring for more appeasement of our biggest current adversary?

That would make logical sense, but it didn't stop them for the past 60 years. Why this year, suddenly Russia is our friend rather than foe?
