OSAKA, Japan (AP) — Smiling together on a global stage, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin cheerfully dismissed Russian interference in U.S. elections, shared their contempt for the world's news media and generally flaunted their personal bond on Friday.

That was one day after the Russian leader praised the president of the United States for his nationalist world views and vigorously declared the days of the West's liberals are dying if not already dead.

Bill Clinton for $500,000 for a speech there. Russians owns the Clinton crime family.

But thirty grand in ads changed the election.

Right.

For Putin ‘classical liberalism’ falls under ‘liberalism.’

And Zelensky’s ascent to power in Ukraine was totally part of the ‘Trump effect’ going on around the world.

Russians have to wait their turn because they vested too much in Putin early on.

Maybe, but it is not what has been told.

For a person pretending to be knowledgeable on a subject you are either biased or not really that much informed.

Dems have no sense of humor, just like with the Clinton emails comments.

It was a joke about a criminal joke...

Well...the truth was that Facebook was paid (in total) around $100k (not the $30k that some suggest) for all the click-bait articles.

But here’s something to think about. They were all designed as click-bait...meaning you put $500 to a $1,000...then built an article or video, with secondary advertising...to attract customer ‘clicks’. So for every penny you invested...you probably made $1 in return.

If you went privately to the Russians who were designing these...they weren’t out on any expenditure, and my guess is that they walked away with a minimum of a couple of million for the $100,000 they invested.

Hillary held Congress in contempt when she dismissed the investigation with a scoff about wiping her server with a cloth. And the partisan press ate it up.

Perhaps President Trump should have acted like the Liberal Elite demands and instead of joking about it to defuse tensions, he should have started a Nuclear War. Democratic Socialist superior enlightenment in action.

It was an obvious joke.

The mainstream press really grasps at straws to try to criticize every single action or word that Trump says.

To me that focus on meddling in the election seems like a collective psychosis. It cracks me up as I see the media types compiling every clip of Trump and Putin looking at each other or talking or just passing by. That accompanied by idiotic comments of journalists in their very concerned tones. It looks like aimed at total idiots. Trump is addressing it very correctly.

What amazes me is how people forget, or choose to forget, that when Trump was campaigning for the 2016 election he was filling stadiums at his rallies while Hillary was barely filling a High school gym. That right there made it blindingly obvious he was going to win. Do these idiots think all those people at his rallies were Russians?

The AP and it’s own coterie of Leftists is about all Yahoo “news” has. And it’s only gotten worse under Verizon.

We all know that election/voter fraud has a lot more effect than any Russian meddling. The Left is just deflecting with this whole Russia thing.

POTUS should remember that liberals can’t take a joke.
