Putin says U.S.-Russia relations getting 'worse and worse'

He meant to say "with the American government" - his relations with his puppet Donnie are great - Donnie's doing all the things Putin directed him to do for his help in the 2016 election - and upcoming help in 2020...

I mean Donnie just gave him an open invitation yesterday to launch another "sweeping and systemic" attack on our democracy...

Vlad is ecstatic...

All freedom loving American people should be outraged...remember what "GOP" stands for in 2020; Guardians of Putin....

This is the problem with liberals and why they keep losing, they don’t listen and always decide to twist every narrative to satisfy their personal opinions. Ok, Democrats need to watch it. 69.8% disapproval....keep up the good work and make it easier for this President.

You just cited a poll that said 69% disapprove of Mitch and the repub majority in the senate - hear, hear!

As for polls, I really like this one...

He forgot to mention that his relations with Donnie are getting better and better. They are taking their relationship to the next level.

No? Mitch and the Repubs are not the majority in the Senate?

Impeachment is old news - the poll I cited has all six leading Democrats beating Donnie - oh my....

The House is a part of Congress...

Impeachment is old news -

The Dems are still trying, still hoping that in some mystical and magical way, the GOP will remove him if they do this, boy....them marijuana laws are something....

the poll I cited has all six leading Democrats beating Donnie - oh my....

Quinnipiac also said Hillary was ahead to beat Trump by 6 points, they got that wrong too. Again, liberals are jumping to the polls like last time. Case in point, Biden has roughly about on average 200 supporters seeing him and Trump usually over 10-15,000 supporters just on the average and it’s funnier how the liberal networks never pan the camera to get a wide view shot of the crowds. Good luck Democrats. ROFL!

The Russian leader contrasted Moscow's troubled relationship with Washington with what he described as its blossoming ties with China,

Russian oil, gas and coal plus Russia's Eurasian Economic Union along with China's Belt and Road and the Pacific and Indian Ocean areas it's already in control of could make these two nations the globe's most powerful, particularly now that Trump's running the US into the ground.

Given Trump has shown he's only interested in his personal wealth (and paying off his debts to international 'financiers'), it's hard not to think Trump, Jared, Ivanka etal haven't already made arrangements with Russia and China to sell them their brands.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said relations between Moscow and Washington were getting worse and worse

Perhaps worse with some in Washington, but not with people like Sen. Mitch McConnell who's using his power and connections with Russia to make himself even richer. https://medium.com/@TheDemCoalition/mitch-mcconnells-ties-to-russian-oil-money-db56f16a4824

so liberals serious believe a poll that has Trump losing to CORY BOOKER? Let me guess, he is losing to Bill Deblasio too, right?

That was the line in the sand for me.

More proof, ladies and gentlemen, that no matter what Trump does, he is derided as Putin's puppet by his haters. He could cure kidney disease and they would diss him for screwing over the dialysis machine makers.

@joetokyo You just gotta love how some here refuse to let go of the Russia-gate canard.

With regard to the findings of the Mueller report, people can believe them, or believe Trump and Putin. I'll use this quote from Russian-American Masha Gessen:

It’s not just that both Putin and Trump lie, it is that they lie in the same way and for the same purpose: blatantly, to assert power over truth itself.

And that they have so many followers in their respective states says a lot about the quality of education in both places.

@serrano He could cure kidney disease 

No. Someone with an 8 year olds understanding of science and with an 8 year olds reading skills wouldn't probably even know he had a kidney.

Actually, it should read; "More proof ladies and gentlemen, that everything Trump does, to include yesterday inviting him again to attack our democracy, shows he is nothing but Putin's puppet"...

so liberals serious believe a poll that has Trump losing to CORY BOOKER? Let me guess, he is losing to Bill Deblasio too, right?

No, actually, we have a poll showing him losing to the mayor of Celina Ohio but we didn't want to embarrass the Trumpers too much...

That was the line in the sand for me.

Trumpers selling more sand, that Trump sand pit affiliate in New Jersey run by Vinnie sure is getting a lot of business..

How long will it take for some CIA analyst to spill the beans and say that Brennan made me do it.

Not too long, Trump has whatever "fixer" he hired after that sleazebag Cohen trying to buy-off a CIA agent now...

The US and Russia relations have never been "good" even before and during WWII and till now. As long as Europe and the US stands together one cannot expect it to get much better. Now with China fully involved in the space program , the wide open North Pole due to the melting, and China trying to control the trade routes, it is expected to get worse. Whether it got worse with Trump is a matter of opinion depending on the perspective.

Yeah, I'll bet you still believe the Iraq WMD lie, too.

You mean the Iraq WMD lie propagated by Dick Cheney and John Bolton and their hand-picked group of 18 angry Republican staffers who fabricated the whole Saddam has nukes scam?

Nope, I don't believe that....

True that. But this stupid notion that Trump is in the pocket of Russians is the joke of all jokes. What people seem to forget is as you said, the relationship between the US and Russia has never been good, but also the US doesn’t have the cleanest hands, in 2011 Hillary was Secretary of State tried meddling in the Russian elections to thwart Putin muck things up for him and that just set him off and from that point on, he had it in for Hillary and they reciprocated the favor. Putin wanted to destroy Hillary, Trump had nothing to do with it, could have been Jeb Bush or any other GOP candidate she was in his crosshairs. As bad as their interference was, Putin ultimately got his revenge. So before the US starts screaming “Russia interference!” Let us trace the real reason why this all happened and that definitely didn’t start with Trump and definitely didn’t help our already frosty relationship.

Worse than at any time with President Obama. America had such great hopes when Trump took office that the relationship would have improved but instead nose dived into the dirt.

And yet Trump is still derided as Putin's puppet. Go figure.

Actually, it should read; "More proof ladies and gentlemen, that everything Trump does, to include yesterday inviting him again to attack our democracy, shows he is nothing but Putin's puppet"...

Trump invited Putin to attack our democracy?! He did?! Checking...

Nope! It's not even on CNN or MSNBC. I'm afraid yer gonna hafta come up with a link on that one, lincolnman. But you won't. So much for the Putin's puppet conspiracy theory.

Total BS. Jeb wouldn't have had seven of his top officials meet with Russians, to include his son and son-in-law. Jeb wouldn't have been in negotiations to build a Trump Tower Moscow and include a $10 Billion penthouse for Putin. Jeb wouldn't have lied about the Trump Tower meeting saying it was about adoptions. Trump is Putin's poodle because he wants to be.

Total BS. Jeb wouldn't have had seven of his top officials meet with Russians, to include his son and son-in-law.

But the Democrats did, they met with a foreign entity and that was Christopher Steele. They bought a dossier that was salacious and unverified.

Jeb wouldn't have been in negotiations to build a Trump Tower Moscow and include a $10 Billion penthouse for Putin.

But the Democrats would ans did Steele was paid $160,000 to create the Trump dossier for Fusion GPS. Hillary Clinton and the DNC financed it. The FBI and Justice Department used opposition research from a presidential campaign to launch an investigation into that campaign's political opponent — a likely illegal use of federal government surveillance for political purposes, not to mention, they conspired with a foreign power, a British spy to obtain the info.

Jeb wouldn't have lied about the Trump Tower meeting saying it was about adoptions. Trump is Putin's poodle because he wants to be.

But the Democrats denied that they bought and paid for unverified sketchy and a salacious dossier. So once again, the Democrats have a zero case because they did the same thing they accuse the President of, conspiring with a foreign power.

See above...

Trump yesterday just made the Steele Dossier a dead issue - he admitted he would have used it also - just like he did with the dirt Russia gave his campaign on Hillary...

The one Judge Nap on Fox just said was a felony...

Just Keeping you aware the Dems did the exact same thing

Trump yesterday just made the Steele Dossier a dead issue -

He doesn’t have anything to say, but Barr does.

he admitted he would have used it also -

He said, he “might” have.

just like he did with the dirt Russia gave his campaign on Hillary...

so then, both sides colluded, then the Dems really have zero to go on. Now we see eye to eye.

The one law professor Dershowitz said, it wasn’t.
