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?”

I didn’t know that about Vladimir.

By a meaningless coincidence, neither do I.

Never developed a taste for drinking.

I’d rather ask the True Conservatives(tm) here who railed on me for being a globalist neocon warmonger because I want a strong national defense posture against Russia (for example). I’ll wait for them to rail on Trump now. :)

Putin is having much fun at the democrats expense.

What’s worse, the democrats don’t even know it.

You position on “Russia is the enemy” was stupid. It a mindless regurgitation of the Saudi paid for the anti Russian PR campaign being run by Bill Kristol and the other Never Trump stoodges.

The Saudis, paymaster of radical Islam, are our enemy. Russia is a rival but it is not fundamentally at odds with the USA.

So you can blithely refer to Russia as a “rival,” but my wish to treat Russia as a rival puts me in bed with the Saudis? Thankfully, I expect Trump to treat Russia as a rival. As for you, good luck—for the next eight years [chortle].

I would have preferred rather than, “You lost!” to “Get lost!”

Has a much better tone to it.

Fine, you just keep being a useful idiot for the Saudi propaganda machine

You really need to get out of your 1980s era world view and learn how vastly different the world is now.

Putin’s Russia is not the Soviet Union with million of conscripted slave solider sitting in armored fighting vehicles waiting to rush the Fulda Gap and crush the free West.

At best Putin can be an irritant to the world body politics or we can find a way to make him an ally. He has neither the economic, nor military, strength to be a real threat to the West. He can, however, be a ginormous pain in the butt for us in the ME. It would be better to have him in the ME policy tent rather then outside throwing rocks at it. Right now the DC clown posse, on behalf of their Saudi paymasters, have pushed Putin out of the tent. That is idiotic.

We face the same problem now that we faced during WW2. We have an existential threat to our existence (Islamic Fascism) that is also the enemies of the Russians. The Russians are not our ivory pure clean as snow perfect allies but they are, potentially, our allies in this fight.

It is easy for you to pompously pronounce anathema on everyone else in the world for not being perfectly politically pure enough from the safety of your keyboard in your moms basement.

Too bad for you those short of childish fantasies of perfect moral purity are ridiculous absurdities in the real world of international politics and diplomacy.

From the article:

“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?”

Mr Putin, good on you for pointing out the dem’s soreloser and paranoid proclivities .

If I agree with you, and we both agree with Trump (that we should treat Russia as a rival), why are you wasting so much “ink” trying to convince me otherwise?

Strange days indeed, when the democrats have become a bigger threat to our way of life than the Russians...

But then again... unlike the democrats, the Russians REJECTED communism, so it makes sense.

Putin stands for Decency, western civilisation and Christ.

The Dummycrats stand for Marxism, atheism and debaucery.

I only wish our country had s leader who put their nation first like Putin. We have had no one like that since Dutch

>>liberals are obsessed with fighting Russia, and everything to do with Russia.<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Clinton crime syndicate has been blocked for years by Russia in Syria and probably other places too.

Not due to Putin being a good citizen, but because the Clintons have been undertaking a major HEIST in the Mideast worth $$hundreds of billions, with Russia as the biggest loser.

I would have taken Putin at the helm over the past eight years in a heartbeat rather than our esteemed community organizer.

Accused of hacking the presidential election b/c he didn't like Hillary, Vladimir Putin points out Republicans won the House and Senate... then remarks, “Did we do that, too?”

(HAT TIP DEROY MURDOCK NYPOST 12/26/16)

EXCERPT-----As President Obama concludes his reign of error, his party is smaller, weaker and ricketier than it has been since at least the 1940s. Behold the tremendous power that Democrats have frittered away — from January 2009 through the aftermath of Election Day — thanks to Obama and his ideas:

•Democrats surrendered the White House to political neophyte Donald J. Trump.

•US Senate seats slipped from 55 to 46, down 16 percent.

•US House seats fell from 256 to 194, down 24 percent.

•Democrats ran the Senate and House in 2009. Next year, they will control neither.

•Governorships slid from 28 to 16, down 43 percent.

•State legislatures (both chambers) plunged from 27 to 14, down 48 percent.

•Trifectas (states with Democrat governors and both legislative chambers) cratered from 17 to 6, down 65 percent.
