The real collusion was between Hillary and the Russians. Putin needed Hillary to win

This is Vlad.

Vlad is sad.

Vlad is mad.

Vlad is mad because he's been had.

Hillary was supposed to win. Egad.

Wait, what? 755 US diplomats have been ordered to leave Russia:

Moscow (AFP) - President Vladimir Putin said 755 US diplomats must leave Russia and warned ties with Washington could be gridlocked for a long time, in a move Sunday that followed tough new American sanctions.

The Russian foreign ministry had earlier demanded Washington cut its diplomatic presence in Russia by September to 455 -- the same number Moscow has in the US.

"More than a thousand people were working and are still working" at the US embassy and consulates, Putin said in an interview with Rossia-24 television.

"755 people must stop their activities in Russia."

Putin added that an upturn in Russia's relations with Washington could not be expected "any time soon".

"We have waited long enough, hoping that the situation would perhaps change for the better," he said.

"But it seems that even if the situation is changing, it's not for any time soon."

This is in response to new sanctions that will be imposed on Russia as punishment for its meddling in the US election- and Trump has signaled that he will sign it:

President Donald Trump intends to sign a bill passed by Congress this week that would impose new sanctions on Russia, the White House said Friday.

The bill was passed overwhelmingly in the Senate and House by veto-proof margins. It passed in the Senate on Thursday 98-2 and in the House on Tuesday by 419-3.

The bill targets Russia's aggression in Ukraine and Syria, citing corruption, human rights abuses and weapons sales. The bill would also add sanctions against North Korea and Iran. The measure also includes a provision that would limit Trump's authority to lift the sanctions unilaterally.

The White House said in a statement that Trump has reviewed the final version of the bill and "approves the bill and intends to sign it."

This comes in addition to the sanctions Trump imposed on individuals and organizations that participated in Russia's incursion into the Ukraine.

This all seems very odd for someone who is accused of colluding with Russia to get elected. Now let's compare that to Barack Obama's response to Russian meddling:

First, Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats but only after the election.

Second, Obama told Putin to "Cut it out!". Well, he says he did.

That's some tough stuff. And it only came long after he learned of Russian meddling in 2015.

And let's remember that Hillary and Bill Clinton were colluding with Russia to repeal the Magnitsky Act in return for cash. And let's also remember that democrat donors were colluding with the Russians to fabricate a phony dossier on Trump:

It’s obvious to me whole Russian collusion Scandal against Trump was to cover the Democrat tracks for the spying they did, and they really panicked after Comey was fired and they lost the cover of the FBI.

A perfect example of Russian Treachery. Buddy’s up to DJT while all the time keeping a knife at his back.

The Podesta/DNC leaks were meant to help Sanders. Trump was an unknown to Russians - Totalitarians hate ‘unknowns’...

It appears that Trump has decided to ignore the Russian blackmail now that it is know. Also, if I understand correctly, Trump was not engaging in a “golden shower” sex act, but rather was having women pee on the bed that Obama had slept in??? While that would anger some Americans, it would make his base happy. For those who believe that some of the meetings were about “adoptions of Russian children”, stopping the adoptions was the coldhearted Putin reaction to the sanctions imposed for various Russian acts. Now that Congress has hugely insisted that Trump cannot cancel certain punitive actions against Russia, Trump is off the hook with Putin.

Of course Putin wanted the Hillabeast.

She has no mind and no morals.

She’d sell Chelsea for enough money.

The MSN, however, being low T, low IQ marshmallow majors pretend they had real academic studies, and as a consequence, cannot suss this out.

Always remember to keep it simple, very simple, for a journalist (and liberals).

Spent a year in Russia, came back just in time for our elections. And I COMPLETELY AGREE.

For many Russians and others abroad, Trump and “MAGA” Is synonymous with the triumph of freedom — hence the numerous MAGA caps you’ll see being worn at the latest anti-Putin rallies.

The whole narrative Putin and his media cronies touted was “You don’t need freedom in Russia. There is no freedom even in America. Look the system is rigged and Hillary will win!”

OOPS! (hilarious how the lame stream media in THIS country has flipped the actual reality of the narrative upside down with their Russia conspiracy hoax.)

PS: things are NOT looking good for Mr. Vlad-Vlad in the coming years. Just saying. He’s losing popular support. BIG time.

Yup. And as a result of Trump, Putin’s “blame America first for all our lingering social ills” tactic is no longer holding weight with the Russian public. The presence of Trump unveils the actual ugliness of totalitarian leaders like Putin.

Indeed it is. The Trump-Russia, Trump-Russia crap is in rapid decline and Congress and the Justice Department are ramping things up.

The Deep State - MSM - Dems (sorry for the redundancy) are in deep trouble and they know it.

And don’t forget Pakistani Debbie. More hot water for the Dems.

Putin has met his match.

I’ll bet he NEVER thought America would elect a leader with as much manhood as he has.

The REAL collusion is between the Democrat party and the Mexican government.

There are 50 Mexican consulates in this country which routinely interfere with U.S. elections, aid in voter fraud against the U.S., collude with all sorts of elected officials to drive Americans out of office in their own land and install Mexican 5th columnists, and engage in all the tactics Mexico is in-famous for: bribery, subversion and instigation of violent actions against Americans.

When will THAT be investigated? When will Tillerson force them to close their consulates and kick out the paid agitators who inhabit them?

It’s FAR more massive then Russian interference in our elections.

As I said in my comment I don’t believe that Trump was engaging in a “golden shower”. Please reread, and if you have any information about the Obama angle that is what I have a question about.

And Bob Mueller and his team of liberal prosecutors and defense attorneys are there to find something - anything - that they can hang on Trump, despite the fact that his appointment and apparent refusal to resign (witness his longstanding personal relationship with Jim Comey, Mueller’s successor as FBI Director) is in direct violation of the statute governing special prosecutors. Furthermore, the appointment of a special prosecutor is supposed to be based on the belief that the subject is involved in CRIMINAL activity, which has never been alleged, and a counterintelligence investigation is NOT a criminal investigation. But, hey, the LAW has never posed an impediment to Democrats and their allies on the Republican Left in pursuing their goals.

Given the apparent expansion of Mueller’s “investigation” (witch hunt) beyond the Russia, Russia, Russia B.S., time for Sessions to grow a set, step in and lower the boom on Mueller.
