Oh, no, the Free Republic anti-Putinistas will say that Trump is in bed with Putin, just as they say Judge Roy Moore, is.

We have some stupid FReepers.

I’m sure that Putin doesn’t like embassy spies and meddlers any more than we do.

This is diplomacy, as it should be.

A clinton or obama would have caved, waffled, and begged for mercy.

That was hilarious. Of course, the govies will be shunted off somewhere else, but still it was a funny riposte.

Having been one of them during the cold war, I laughed out loud! Way to go Trump!!! What’s a shame is that we lost our two Dachas. I enjoyed them both very much.

It is called redirection with a little humor. He is probably irritated over the whole thing.

“We have some stupid FReepers.”

That IS a true statement! And you can often figure out the IQ deficiency when their spelling and syntax go south.

On FB, never-Trumpers have reached a whole new level of crazy over this. They’re totally insane and irrational, nuttier by the day.

Trump’s comment was a joke - and it was funny. Clinton or Obama would have done no such thing, either. In these situations one is done what one is told and end of story and it has always been that way. God help us if you think it was anything more than that.

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.

I'm sure a lot off career diplomats are soon going to find out what it's like working for a pimple faced 19 year old at Best Buy. The diplomats will learn a new language, and new customs: "Would you like an extended warranty with that new vacuum cleaner, sir?".

We should limit the number of diplomats to cut expenses as well.

You took the words right out of my mouth. These two (Trump & Putin) seem to understand each other. Testosterone is recognizable and often makes understanding possible. We’ve been without both humor and testosterone for some time now.
