Putin to Democratic Party: You lost, get over it

By David Filipov December 23 at 6:04 AM

MOSCOW — Russia’s President Vladi­mir Putin has a message for the White House and Democratic leaders who accuse him of stealing their victory: Don’t be sore losers.

That was how Putin answered a question Friday about whether Russia interfered in the U.S. presidential election in favor of Donald Trump at the Russian leader’s nationally televised annual news conference

“Democrats are losing on every front and looking for people to blame everywhere,” Putin said in answer to a Russian TV host, one of 1,400 journalists accredited to the marathon session. “They need to learn to lose with dignity.”

The Kremlin leader pointed out Republicans had won the House and Senate, remarking “Did we do that, too?”

That’s surprising that Putin doesn’t drink. I thought drinking vodka was a requirement for Russians.

While Vladimir has hit this one on the nose, he is no “nice guy”. It would be a good thing for the entire world if there were more of an amicable relationship between our countries, though I have always believed that most, if not all of what Vladimir does is in self-interest.

He doesn’t have to. RT tweets are already posted here, sometimes breathlessly.

RT is in my rotation but only for international news. Their U.S. news has a liberal slant.

There has been a concerted effort in the DC Political class, mostly paid for by Saudi money, to provoke a war between the US and Russia.

Russia is no friend to the US but she is also not our enemy. Friendly rivals is a position we can achieve with Russia now that the adults are back in charge in DC.

Amazing world. I actually respect Putin more than Obama. At least Putin is working for the interests of Russia.

I’d say buy him a case of the best vodka.

Like many things, that comes from Texas...

You are right about the liberals’ obsession with Russia. During Reagan’s presidency, they were cheering for the Soviets. Maybe if Russia would take back the name USSR, the liberals would like Putin?

OTOH, maybe not since his name is not Michail Gorbachov. The used to have ‘Gorbasms’, according to Rush.

I can’t think of a single Democrat I like better than Putin. The ones I’d name are all long dead.

You know when the democrat party is in really bad shape when Russia and other foreign countries make more sense than the dems do.

Ask the Bushco thugs from Daddy to GW to Jebbie how neo con Trump is.

Ask Linda and her boy friend McAinal how neo con Trumps is.

Ask the DC GopE pundits like Billie Kristal Night how neo con Trump is.

Trump destroyed the NeoCons and liberal rats this past year.

They’re past that. It’s a get whitey phase that’s their predominant obsession now and Russia is white.

All of those screaming about Putin, show us, he has the same enemies as Trump.
