Our Heroic Washington Establishment Stands Up to that Evil Bastard Putin!

"It's Different When We Do It!(tm)"

But first, a little trip down Memory Hole Lane.

Democrats have a long and storied history of standing up to the Russian Bear:

1940's: Democrat Advisor Harry Hopkins worked for FDR and Stalin.
...but mostly for Stalin.

Reagan's nemesis, Hollywood Union Boss and Commie Herb Sorrell, arguing with other Democrats
about the propriety of Scarlett Johansson portraying a transgender man

A few years before joining the CIA, John Brennan casts his first vote for Stalinist Gus Hall

...because Khrushchev was just too squishy!

Here, Ted Kennedy admires  Brezhnev's eyebrow, making a mental note to mention it to Justin Trudeau.
Ted conspires with the Soviets to stop missile defense and defeat Reagan.
He didn't want to, but they bribed him with three fingers scotch, neat.

In the waning days of the Soviet Union, Comrade Sanders makes a desperate honeymoon trip to Russia, hoping to get there before all the good Communism is gone. Here, he poses with a completely random Russian family, carefully chosen by his minders.
In America, your friends choose government. In Russia, government chooses your friends!

Unless you're Hillary, in which case your government friends choose you for president.

To commemorate the anniversary of that desperate Soviet honeymoon so long ago, when love and five-year grain quotas were all that mattered, Sen. Sanders will appear in Moscow
with rising Socialist star Ms. Alex-Andrea Occasional-Corecharge.

They will compete against each other in the Bug-Eyed Bolshevik Stare-Off, to be held at Lenin's Tomb, a.k.a. "Bernie's Burlington East Bed & Breakfast".

But enough background.

We're told by Official Washington that President Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin is unprecedented, dangerous, even treasonous. Really?

Hmmm...that's odd.

Seems like other Republican presidents tried to get along with him.

Well, then how about Democrats?

They are Certified Tough Guys(tm) when it comes to Putin. Hillary and her employees at CrowdStrike have issued a Declaration of War with Russia, just as the Living Constitution provides for. They won't let anybody see the evidence for it, though, but they are tough. Tough, Tough, Tough!

Just ask them:

"Don't piss me off, Vlad, or I'll sell you another 20% of America's uranium!"

Business partners in Joule Nuclear Energy 

Half-million dollar speeches at Putin's Moscow banks

"Can't you just give me the money. Vlad?  Do I really have to stand up there and blather on for a half-hour?"

'Ring my bell!"

You can sense the seething rage just beneath the glazed surface of Cuck Schemer's soggy cruller.

John worked for Putin at Joule Energy, while Tony was an unregistered lobbyist for Putin's SberBank.
Mueller has given Tony Podesta immunity to testify against Manafort--but he could just as easily have given Manafort immunity to testify against Podesta.

Or, better yet, give them both immunity to testify against Mueller!

"Say...where's your wife?"

"$145 million? Really?"

Nancy reads Ivan the Riot Act! Way to #Resist, Babushka!

Democrats lured the Russian Ambassador into their deadly trap by giving him a seat of honor at the recent State of the Union Address. Afterward, they stoned him to death in the parking lot, causing an international incident.

"Oh, cut it out!"

Funny--they don't seem angry. Just crazy.

CNBC: 

KERNEN: This morning you tweeted – interesting tweet – second meeting, potentially, with -- with Vladimir Putin. Is that in the works? Is it planned? Has it been talked about?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: We – yeah, I would say it’s in the works. Look, we had a tremendous discussion on many things: terrorism, Syria, the Middle East overall, Iran. We talked about, as an example, nuclear proliferation. There’s nothing – to me, there’s nothing more important than that. We had a tremendous meeting. We had a – I think it was a very good press conference. I mean, except for the fake news, I really think I did really well at the press conference. Hey – We got along very well. Look, the fact is we got along very well. We, I think could do great things for his country, but for our country. I’m interested in our country. I’m also interested in the world. I’d like to see peace. And I think we could do great things for the world. I think we can do -- now, that includes China. That includes others. I’m doing very well, getting along with countries. Getting along is a good thing, not a bad thing. But, I think I’d have a good relationship with Putin.

KERNEN: And – and – you, you have a personal relationship with people that I’ve seen --As far as the end game with Russia, there’s lots of things that you think we can do in terms of making the world safer with Russia. So, the personal relationship --

PRESIDENT TRUMP: And by the way, that’s good for everybody.

KERNEN: But the relationship you have with Putin, the tone, which was relativity conciliatory for what some people say is an enemy or an adversary. Can that tone totally be explained by you wanting to do the best things for the country or is there some something underlying that?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: No. I have nothing to do with Russia. I never did.

KERNEN: So it’s totally just –

PRESIDENT TRUMP: That other deal is a big hoax. It’s a hoax. It’s a Russia-- It’s called the Democrat hoax. It’s a big fat hoax. I have nothing to do with Russia. And I think you know that. You would know. You’ve known me for a very long time.

KERNEN: I know how you are with people and I could see that knowing—

PRESIDENT TRUMP: You think I’m dealing in Russia?

KERNEN: -- Knowing what you want to accomplish, in foreign policy and domestically--I could see, I could see that tone not necessarily having anything to do with, other than wanting the best thing for the country —

PRESIDENT TRUMP: So I had a meeting that lasted for more than two hours. It wasn’t always conciliatory in that meeting.

KERNEN: Right. That hasn’t come out. Did you --

PRESIDENT TRUMP: No, but we discussed many of the points I just said.

KERNEN: OK.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: I mean, basically that’s what we discussed. We discussed lots of great things for both countries, frankly. But there are things that we can do for both countries that are very good. Now, we then go to a news conference. I mean I had these -- some of these fools from the media saying, “Why didn’t you stand there, look him in the face, walk over to him, and start shouting at him?” I said, “Are these people crazy? I want to make a deal.” I want to make a deal. You can’t do that. And we’ve been having a bad relationship with Russia for many years. And you know, that may be wrong. I -- it may be that you can’t do anything and -- that’s very possible. But I’m different than other presidents. I’m a dealmaker. I’ve made deals all my life. I do really well. I make great deals. You know it because you’ve covered them for a long time Joe. And I think if we can get along with Russia and other countries….

KERNEN: Does it help with China to have Russia as almost as a -- to set them (against each other)...

PRESIDENT TRUMP: It doesn’t hurt, okay. It doesn’t hurt.

KERNEN: And that was in your mind as well?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Maybe, in the computer. I mean maybe. It’s -- probably doesn’t hurt you know. But I’m not even looking at it that way. I’m just saying if we can do certain things on terrorism, as an example… we found out that in St. Petersburg a little more than a year a ago there was going to be a very major terrorist attack. St. Petersburg, Russia. We called them and let them know. They were able to nab this very vicious gang of terrorists. They got them. I assume they’re some place right now that maybe you don’t even want to know about. I don’t know what they did with them. Okay? And I don’t care.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: They thanked us profusely. This was gonna be a major attack. We found out about it and we gave them that information. That's a good thing. And Putin, called me up. President Putin called me up and he said "I wanna thank you very much. That would've been a major attack in St. Petersburg." We informed them. I don't think anybody even knows about that. These are good things. They inform us. They can inform us. Getting along is a good thing, not a bad thing. The fake news they want to make it like where there's like a big confrontation. I don't want to play that game. I don't want to go into that game.

KERNEN: Any timeline on the next meeting, Mr. President?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Let me just say this –With that being said, I have been far tougher on Russia than any president in many, many years. Maybe ever. Even, even the big fight I have with Germany over the fact that they're taking natural gas –

KERNEN: Right.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: They're taking energy from Russia. Paying them billions of dollars. I said, “Wait a minute - we're supposed to be protecting you from Russia, and you're paying them billions of dollars. What's that all about?” Now, do you think that's a positive for Russia? I'm talking them out of things that they – where they're giving billions of dollars. It's ridiculous, by the way, that that's happening. And then on top of that Germany pays a fraction of what they should be paying for defense. We're supposed to defend them. So they're paying Russia and we're supposed to defend them from Russia. So just - you just look at that point. But look at the sanctions I've put on. Look at the diplomats I threw out. Look at all of the things that I've done. Nobody else did what I've done. Obama didn't do it. Obama was a patsy for Russia. He was a total patsy. Look at the statement he made, when he thought the mics were turned off, okay? The stupid statement he made. Nobody does a big deal about that. Getting along with President Putin, getting along with Russia is a positive, not a negative.

KERNEN: Alright.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Now, with that being said, if that doesn't work out, I'll be the worst enemy he's ever had. The worst he's ever had.

KERNEN: I don't want to end it on that note -- but we – we do have to end it – but --

PRESIDENT TRUMP: But I think he knows that -- I'll be his worst nightmare. But I don't think it'll be that way. I actually think we'll have a good relationship.

KERNEN: Well, I think it’d be, you know, it – it’s obviously in the – the two last nuclear Super Powers, or at least the two largest –90% (of the world's nuclear weapons) think of it, the two countries.

KERNEN: Alright. Mr. President –

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you very much.

KERNEN: Thank you. I appreciate it very much. Thank you.".......
