Putin (To Trump): I think you have too many Jews in your country. They control too much.
Trump: You think so.
Bannon: We are no it. Too many people of color. I will take care of it.

From Kopin Tan in Barron’s this week:

Last week the Standard & Poor’s 500 index jumped to within 1% of its all-time high, but don’t mistake the unwinding of a pre-election crouch for enduring optimism. Election uncertainty is behind us, but ahead lies an unpredictable administration. Trump will become the first protectionist in the White House since Herbert Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, and we know how that turned out.

Then again, Trump has never been a fan of history books that didn’t feature him. Sure, President Trump’s small hands may never get around to all the things promised by Candidate Trump’s big mouth, but it’s premature to laud his so-called pro-business policies—with their scant policy details. Rich valuations, tightening monetary policies, and terrorism are all tougher challenges than a TV audience.

Meanwhile, Trump’s win was welcomed by at least one foreign leader—and no, it’s not Vladimir Putin. “A more isolationist stance, and his apparently transactional attitude toward longstanding U.S. relationships, hands the edge to China in the battle for regional influence,” says Gavekal Dragonomics’ Arthur Kroeber. China wants to be a global superpower, and President Xi Jinping is building overland and maritime trade routes linking the Middle Kingdom to the world. Such checkbook diplomacy faces less opposition the more America looks inward.

He looked in Putin’s eyes, saw his soul, then put Vlad’s dick back in his mouth.

Left out of the call transcript was Putin’s mention of 100 acres of prime development land directly adjacent to Lake Baikal. It can be had for a very good price…

The Kremlin called for a “return to pragmatic, mutually beneficial cooperation, which would address the interests of both countries as well as stability and safety the world over,” according to the same report.

Translation: “Our mafia hit men will not break your legs for non payment of the debts you owe if you give us carte blanche in the Ukraine and Baltic countries.”

Donald is just basking in this limelight. He likely imagines that, not only is he now equal to Barack Obama because he will become President of the United States, but he will also become the darling of all of the world’s leaders. That’s all Donald can see - not the work ahead, or the obligation to really study, or the responsibility he carries. Leaders in other countries see this as well, and they will be ready to exploit his narcissism.

His protectionist policies will bring back zero manufacturing jobs, and only raise prices on inferior products. So cost of living will go up for mid westerners who still have no job. And robotically driven vehicles will take away driver jobs. At a time when we need creative leadership, we are returning to cretin rule instead.

And in another note, Trump asked his BFF Putin for some more money to prop up his businesses.

I see they left out the part where Putin tells him, if Trump doesn’t cooperate, he’ll release the video tapes.

So, basically, America is going to walk away from Eastern Europe and let them fend for themselves. The other ones who will feel this most strongly are the Western European nations.

One of the few leaders standing between White nationalism/fascism is Chancellor Merkel.

Who knew?

Trump Tells Putin He Looks Forward To “Strong and Enduring” Relationship…with the Russian Oligarch Bankers who he owes hundreds of millions of dollars to.
I expect Trump’s price is simple; Cancellation of all outstanding Debts to the Oligarch Bankers and the licenses to open a new Trump Hotel in Moscow (can’t wait for THAT photo-op)
Once that happens, Trump will give Putin free-reign to roll into the Ukraine, and the Baltic countries.
Hey, “It’s just Business!”
Get used to the new Pravdas fellating all of Trump’s decisions on the Nightly News.
It has already started on the Sunday Talk shows.
Weep for America. Destroyed by people “too busy” to vote.

The phrase ‘yassuh boss’ must mean ‘strong and enduring’ in Russian. A sad day when the highest Russian agent in the US is in the Oval Office.

Fuck Obama, he should have put 100K troops in Ukraine and Georgia in October and invited Kaliningrad to become an independent state with the door open to NATO and the EU. Put the US at DEFCON 2 and go on TV and tell the nation that the Russians are trying to manipulate our election and it is essentially and act of war. Put the GOP scum in the position of turning tail in the region and pulling out the troops. Let the populace mull life under Trump.

Shoot those Russian jets out of the sky over the Baltics. Sink their ‘aircraft carrier’ that catches fire so much you would think it was insured. What would the Russians do? They are crooks, not suicide bombers. If they flinch obliterate their military defenses.

Crazy? Would we get our hair mussed? More than that but anything is worse than this garbage we are facing here.
