Russia dismisses Obama as lame duck after US sanctions
NY Post ^ | December 29, 2016 | David K. Li

Russia dismissed President Obama as a “lame duck” Thursday in a biting tweet sent in response to his expulsion of dozens of diplomats from the US.

“President Obama expels 35 (Russian flag) diplomats in Cold War deja vu. As everybody, incl (American flag) people, will be glad to see the last of this hapless Adm,” Russia’s UK embassy tweeted.

The snarky words came with a picture of a duckling and the word “LAME” across in.

They could declare him unfit to govern due to a nervous breakdown, and swear in Joe Bid...never mind.

Heh heh heh heh heh!

I believe the spirit of God is rising again and is very much “on the loose” now.

The result is that Putin is sounding like a peacenik, or at least a peace-through-strength-nik. He doesn’t seem to be acting right now like he wants to play games with chips on his shoulder, unlike a decade or so ago when the stuff with Crimea was going down. And part of that might be that Trump doesn’t look like the kind of guy who would have fomented the awkward coup in the Ukraine... US politicians who were too clever by half in the Russosphere, and therefore Putin felt he had to answer that back, kind of like the US felt they had to answer back Russian involvement in Cuba.

Yes, Russia...

We’ve pretty much dismissed him for eight years now.

Lame Duck, Limp D*ck, he’s that and much, much more.

Shot down duck, for all intents and purposes (to repeat an earlier observation of mine, heh heh heh).

Donald Trump has filled the political room and he ain’t even sworn in yet.

The Rooskies if anything are being a bit polite. But we Americans can call Obama a shot down duck.

Obama is just so OBJECTIVELY evil, is the reason why we aren’t bristling over Russia doing this. We’re saying Putin, bro, you are so right, and we’ll all breathe more easily when Donald Trump actually marches into the White House.

I think before the 20th, a delegation is going to have to march into the White House, take away his pen and phone (and his nuclear codes), and invoke the 25th Amendment before this jerk blows up the country and/or the world.

This is what we get for electing a non-American Muslim with a phony birth certificate who is a psychopath with a narcissistic neurosis.

Jeez, and to think Hillary was up next. Boy, did we dodge a fatal bullet!

Putin joins us in bidding Barack Obama the heartiest CIAO!

And funny thing... this might have taught Putin a lot about the evils of leftism. Because America dived into it for eight years, and arose from it a smoldering heap (which, happily, Donald Trump appears ready to very busily reverse the condition of), Russia now has a second object lesson in Socialism Is Bad (the first one being the failure of USSR).

Trump is such a breath of fresh air to anyone who understands how leftism labored to fool us and lord it over us. Leftism is a fake form of actual charity, which (Charity) America has long and historically honored. Charity, however, comes by our choice. Our conscience tells us when it’s right and what it should be — and not some blankety blank blasted cabal of politicians!

The scary aspect of that pic is that I think Obama really thinks he is intimidating to Putin. It’s sadly delusional.

Good, they didn’t fall for it.

What ELSE will Obama try?

“...taught Putin a lot about the evils of leftism....”

I think Putin had his OWN epiphany about leftism/socialism/ communism a while ago. Guy was a KGB intelligence officer for a long time.

People can change, evidently. I think he just loves his country, his people, his culture, and will do whatever he has to do to protect it.

Trump gives me the same impression.

“...America dived into it for eight years, and arose from it a smoldering heap ...”

Well... “America” didn’t. Some folks did, but the majority of us resisted him as best we could.

He didn’t win.

We did. We outlasted him. And now we gave him and his psycho female proxy a giant middle finger.

Best Christmas present I’ve had in a long time.
