He doesnt attend those meetings or read those briefings. He has no need for advisors when hes the best at national security.

72% of the vote is literally 28% less than Kim Jong Un got when he ran for office in the last election in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Putin's officials wanted 70 % and were expecting around 65. The landslide was surprising even for them.

Even if you take out the obvious fuckery like the balloons in front of the camera etc, Putin still bombarded the other candidates from orbit.


And framed one candidate to disqualify him from even running.

Dont let your boner for Russian women cloud your judgment here

Again, Navalny is Prokhorov 2.0

Even if he had run, he likely would have finished third.

That's basically what he's saying, and if you don't believe they're fair then you're just a consumer of biased Western media rofl.

Meh. I just don't see the issue.

Maybe if Trump had made a speech saying how awesome it is that Putin got re-elected, then...

And that is a problem you voted in a dictator who listens to no one but himself when in reality a president is suppose to listen to others and make the best choice based on what he believes and others tell him. Thank you for admitting what I suspected.

"President Obama called Russian President-elect and Prime Minister Putin to congratulate him on his recent victory in the Russian Presidential election," the White House said in a late Friday afternoon statement (read: news dump) about the Friday morning phone call between the two leaders.


Meh.

[...] but President Barack Obama has now officially endorsed the return of Russian past and future President Vladimir Putin.


Not really?

You aren't allowed to vote in Russia unless you are drunk.

Speaking of drinking, ever since Putin seized power decades (yes, decades) ago, alcoholism in Russia has skyrocketed. So much so that people have died from drinking counterfeit booze.

Trump's not a dictator. He listens to people like Ben Carson who actually have useful things to say.

President Donald Trump was infuriated after it quickly leaked that he had been directly instructed by his national security advisers in briefing materials not to congratulate Russian President Vladimir Putin on his recent election victory during their call Tuesday morning, a source familiar with the President's thinking said.

Trump was fuming Tuesday night, asking his allies and outside advisers who they thought had leaked the information, noting that only a small group of staffers have access to those materials and would have known what guidance was included for the Putin call, the source said.

According to the source, the incident resurfaces his long-held belief there are individuals inside his administration -- especially in the national security realm -- who are actively working to undermine him.

White House chief of staff John Kelly also is furious that a confidential presidential briefing became public knowledge, a White House official said, and intends to address the matter Wednesday as aides try to figure out who disclosed the warning.

"If this story is accurate, that means someone leaked the President's briefing papers. Leaking such information is a fireable offense and likely illegal," another senior White House official told CNN Wednesday.


trump is enraged by the leak. i feel a new round of firings coming on.
