  3. And in another bit of karmic revenge this week, . . . 

    . . . Is there anything more butt-chapping to TOTUS than to be publicly criticized as weak and impotent by another one of his boss' underlinings??!:

    3:15 p.m.

    Russia's prime minister says the sanctions bill signed by President Donald Trump ends hopes for improved U.S.-Russia ties.

    Dmitry Medvedev says in a Facebook post that "Trump's administration has demonstrated total impotence by surrendering its executive authority to Congress in the most humiliating way."

    Medvedev thinks the "American establishment has won an overwhelming victory over Trump" and he describes the sanctions as "yet another way to put Trump in his place."

     

    1. Ouch.

      Still, if Medvedev really wants to get to Trump, he needs to hit at his ratings.

      The Russian propaganda outlet, RT, claims (falsely) to have a weekly audience of 700 million across Europe.

      That makes Fox News a piker with its 3.8 million weekly views, and Rachel Maddow, the relentless Russian scandal dissecter and Trump foe, now gets more views than Fox in her prime time slot.

      So Medvedev should challenge Donald Trump to a ratings war. The advantage for the rest of us? In ratings wars, nobody gets blown up.

  4. Putin must really have Trump by the balls (as in he could probably force Trump's businesses into bankruptcy) — from David Leonhardt of the New York Times :

    Russia is clearly part of the president’s problem, and he reluctantly signed a new sanctions bill yesterday. “Trump has expressed more concerns about Congress’s Russia sanctions bill than about Putin’s expulsion of US diplomats,” the New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza wrote of the president’s statement on signing the bill into law.

    It was a reminder that Trump’s reaction to Vladimir Putin’s recent provocations represents a conspicuous break from his frequent criticisms of other world leaders. “Now that Putin is taking bona fide, retaliatory measures for U.S. sanctions, Trump would generally be expected to hit back. He hasn’t,” The Washington Post’s Aaron Blake has observed.

    1. as in he could probably force Trump's businesses into bankruptcy

      And/or release the alleged infamous video.

      There's no going back from releasing the tape. But he could put the squeeze on the businesses gradually.

    1. I think the best answer to your question might be that old standard,  . . . 

      . . . "If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it."

      wink
