That would be nice, but Putin is an evil fukk just like Trump.
All a matter of opinion as nobody here actually knows the guy. Trump, on the other hand, has been in our face 24/7 for a long time. His character, if one could call it that, is an open book.

Yea that kinda goes without saying.

He's got the worst approval rating in presidential history so he will last as long as Blob Ford.

Depending on how much time he spends under the bed it might not be the best location to 'at his calmest and most logical'

The Washington Post has retracted its story about Russian hackers penetrating the nation’s electricity grid with a virus found in a Burlington, Vt., electric company laptop.

“Authorities say there is no indication of that so far [that Russians had penetrated the US electric grid],” according to an editor’s note attached to a corrected version of the story on the paper’s Web site.

News of the supposed hack had set off a firestorm of recriminations, with Vermont leaders calling Russian President Vladimir Putin “a thug” earlier Saturday, after one of the state’s electric utilities found a virus on a laptop computer.

A utility spokesman has also told the Burlington Free Press the laptop was not hooked into the grid.

CNN: Fox News for dumbocrats.
A virus was found on a laptop. Maybe the techs should have been working instead of surfing Russian porn sites.

You know what's really funny though? When the Russians actually hacked the White House in 2014, Obama didn't send the Russian diplomats packing, the CIA wasn't all amped up about it, and the MSM treated it like it was just another day at the White House.

The Democrats always have to have something, somebody to hate. Russia is the current victim.
Having a target to hate keeps the focus on the hating and keeps it off the shenanigans of the Democrats.

The Russians are your friends now, eh?
