"There is no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election," Carter said at a human rights discussion in Leesburg, Virginia. "

Jimmy slings a mean hammer and this time he nailed it.

Russia attacks our democracy and this Idiot jokes about it with the perpetrator....that's the same as;

Churchill telling Hitler; "shame on you for invading France (wink)"....

Roosevelt telling Tojo after Pearl Harbor; "Don't attack Los Angeles, ha-ha"....

Bush telling Al Qaeda after 911; "You helped with our NY building renovation plans"...

Its an absolute disgrace and one of the most traitorous acts in US history...

When will the spineless Repubs in the Senate realize their pact with the devil is destroying our country...

We were attacked. By Russia. That is a fact.

Trump has always denied it. Because the attack helped him get elected. Treason.

Then he kisses Putin's butt in Helsinki. Taking Russsia's side in a very public dispute between Russia and our spy masters. Traitor.

Now, he jokes about it.

Traitor.

Republicans are silent. Complicit. Complicit in Trump's treason. Complicit in keeping our nation protected from further Russian attacks.

Now we know: Republicans have nothing when it comes to national security. Nothing, The next time any of them gibber about Iran, or North Korea, or the Taliban, they should be told to just shut up. So long as they give Trump a pass, so long as they keep our nation vulnerable to more attacks from Russia.

Just shut up.

Trump just turns into a wimp around that guy.

Trump is definitely not the dominatrix in this relationship.

Plenty of lolz at smirking tyrants who interfere with other countries elections, spy on them, down planes, use chemical weapons, execute dissidents & journalists and invade other countries.

Actually I am willing to cut Trump a break on this one. The U.S. government, as world champion meddler, has no legs to stand on to complain about getting meddled with. Might as well make light of it and move on.

The jokes were funny, but I thought the personal pile on cannibalizing from each other was way more entertaining.

Too bad the Dems can't take a joke.

Pssst, ulysses - there is no dominatrix in this relationship.

When you have no words to defend treason...

Too bad the Dems can't take a joke.

Just like Trumpers, joking about an attack on our country. Might as well be waving the Russian flag...

Pssst, ulysses - there is no dominatrix in this relationship.

True, just Master and poodle...

The identifying characteristic of leftists is their lack of any sense of humor. To a reader of Japan Today posts that should be very clear.

On the hand, the left’s former model of the new man, Josef Stalin ... HE had a sense of humor which may prove he was just power hungry without all the blather of saving humanity. Stalin used to encourage the inner circle to tell jokes as he poured them more and more vodka in his all night dacha parties. Of course, can you expect jokes told in desperation to be hilarious? Especially when the boss stays sober?

Carter, the worse President the U.S. ever had. You guys crack me up with your comments. Meanwhile we have the lowest unemployment in decades, strongest market in decades and Trump is the first U.S. President to visit the DMZ. Yet you liberals keep whining and investigating and turning California into a homeless wasteland. Hilarious.

The worst is here, open your eyes and see it.

You guys crack me up with your comments. 

We are pretty liberal with humor .

Meanwhile we have the lowest unemployment in decades, 

Thank you Obama.

 Trump is the first U.S. President to visit the DMZ. 

Visiting the moon is an achievement, visiting the DMZ without any results is not.

Yet you liberals keep whining and investigating and turning California into a homeless wasteland.

Did your friends at Fox tell you that? Ahh fox ,where depleted minds go to decay!!!

Carter, the worse President the U.S. ever had.

The one President who constantly pushed for dialogue and bringing the troops home from South Korea? The guy who was a thorn in Clinton's side when it came to the DPRK?

Employment figures are down to the previous incumbent, not the current one who likes to take all the plaudits and adulation.

Yet you liberals keep whining and investigating and turning California into a homeless wasteland. Hilarious.

This statement has no basis in reality.

Trump's unfunny joke about Putin's meddling to fill an awkward moment of silence was at least in better taste than the "Shrub's" disgusting antics pretending to look for weapons of mass-destruction under tables and chairs in reference to the war of aggression he unleashed against Iraq that destroyed the lives of millions. Carter's presidential "decency" rating might have been above average, but even his hands were soaked in the blood of US interventions in Central America which account for the background story of today's "chickens coming home to roost" at the US-Mexico border.

Democrats out of control, we see this every single minute.

Thank you Obama.

Why do liberals think that having a GDP under 3% is good, that’s like telling your parents you got a “D” but at least you studied hard.

Visiting the moon is an achievement, visiting the DMZ without any results is not.

No other President has done or tried it, no other President got to stop the Kim's to radically stop their nuke and missile testing. We could go to war, but then the liberals would complain as well, heck, they complain at everything Trump does. So while he’s actually doing something, the Democrats instead of passing some sort of legislation, you know doing the work on behalf of their constituents, they have passed anything of real substance since Taking the House, once again, they keep it up and they will make it too easy for Trump to slide into a second term.

Did your friends at Fox tell you that?

Living in California did.

He had to make up for his failed Presidency and admittedly, he did good.

Employment figures are down to the previous incumbent, not the current one who likes to take all the plaudits and adulation. 

What??

I understand, most liberals don’t think that decline and degradation of California is not a big deal, most of the richest people or liberals care about the votes, everything else, don’t bother us.

I think the president of the United States of America making light and joke about Putin meddling in the democratic process just don't cut it in my book.

It does in mine, I thought it was funny and had a lot of validity to it.

During his campaign, Trump promised so much over Putin/Russia but delivered nothing but more sanctions.

So he’s supposed to do what else? Punch him in the stomach and wag his finger?
