What to do?

Post by houndawg »

What does Cheeto do about Obama kicking out some Russian diplomats over the attempt to influence our election?

He can do nothing, thereby admitting Obama was right.

He can let them return, thereby removing all doubt about his submission to Putin.

You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

Have you been watching the news since the annointed one took office? If you want to talk submission to Putin, that ship sailed with the first series of red lines drawn and ignored. :coffee:

BO is simply doing whatever he can in the waning light of his presidency to create some legacy no matter how insignificant.

Ancient history bro, we're talking about the future in this thread.

How does Cheeto avoid the trap? Which is cleverly designed so that doing nothing looks bad.

He does the same thing that we have always done both during the Cold War and since then

It was never a trap before and it isn't a trap now, but I'm sure it will occupy lots of storage in your mind

How many Chinese diplomats did we kick out over the OPM hack?

Hopefully he has a more skilled SoS that might actually be effective in dealing with the Rooskies.

Do you really think this is a big deal? Who really cares one way or the other. If he ignores it, like almost everyone else will, things will move on. Do you think the Russian's are short on diplomats/spies that they just can't replace the ones that were asked to leave? Happened all the time in the Cold War. You're looking for something that's not there, and that's really spandos territory.

You're preaching to the choir- I don't think the Russians changed a single vote and its mostly a diversion from the colossal incompetence and out-of-touchness of the DNC. But thats a different subject.


Declare Obama right, or start looking like Putin's Chris Christie? Whats a commander-in-queef to do?

It's obvious you don't know how PNG-ing works.

It's not really a different subject. If Trump allows them back, he can so pointing that Obama was wrong to do so which doesn't mean anything about a submission to Putin... except to partisan hacks like you.

Not really. I don't get upset about politicians. You'll see me talk a lot and get worked up about policies or topics like abortion, pot, I-AA playoffs, but you will have a hard time finding much commentary from me on politicians. I also don't vote straight tickets (you can bet your ass a lot of folks here do) and I'm not a single issue voter like our departed friend Jon was.
