Hard to understand what kind of moron would stay in a Russian hotel and think that it wasn't bugged. Obama was a different breed of cat who actually thought about something before he did it. I doubt he was anywhere stupid enough to talk about anything more sensitive than the daily itinerary and meeting schedule when he was in Moscow.

[BeaverFever]

Wouldn't the President stay at the US Embassy or the Ambassador's residence? I honestly don't know what the protocol is.

[BRAH]

One would think but there's no guarantee US Embassies or any Embassy is 100% secure.

Wonder what Saint Ronnie would have thought about his beloved GOP being nearly 100% in the tank for a Russian dictator (and full of sheer hate for their "wrong thinking" fellow countrymen) less than thirty years after the US won the Cold War.

If I'm not mistaken weren't you one of the same people who vomited all over Palin (in 2008) and Romney (in 2012) for saying that Russia was a valid threat?

How's that work that you want to say the GOP is 100% 'in the tank' for Russia while simultaneously hating us because we aren't?

Thanos Thanos:

No, it's just nitpicking in your own favour as usual with a double-dose of trying to make a perfectly legal constitutional power of the president look illegitimate when it was used by Obama. Kind of the same bit of silliness the Soviets used to do in the Cold War when talking about their 40000 nuclear warheads. "The American weapons are hostile and war-like, Russia's ones are happy and peace-loving". You guys are getting more like Russians every day now with this kind of anti-fact goober routine. "Orders from Obama are illegal and full of hate and worse than Hitler, but ones from Reagan/Dubya/Trump are good, decent, and as American as apple pie and baseball". Sigh.

No, I'm giving you facts and you're replying with rhetoric.

Obama has been caught pushing added regulation through that wouldn't make it onto your list of executive orders yet they perform the same function of added regulation. People have alleged some were illegal, and this one, as an example, proved to be.

$1:

his 2014 attempt to grant a deportation amnesty to more than 4 million illegal immigrants, came not from an executive order or regulation but in a policy memo he directed be issued by Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. A federal district court put the amnesty on hold, ruling that Mr. Johnson should have gone through the regulatory process instead.

Later, a federal appeals court issued an even broader ruling finding that the amnesty violated immigration law. The Supreme Court upheld that decision on a tie 4-4 vote.

No, I vomited all over Palin for being (prior to Trump) about the most disgusting, appalling, and moronic politician I'd ever seen in my lifetime. And my opposition to Romney was based around him being an(other) entitled rich-man's son who had no idea of what average people were experiencing after the 2008 GOP-created economic collapse and who would have made it even worse by the Ayn Randian economics he and his running mate Paul Ryan were proposing as the solution.

As for anyone doing a switcheroo on Russia, it wasn't that long ago that you were solidly on the side of Ukraine and the Baltics when it came to helping them maintain their freedom from Russian control. With the rise of Trump and his huggy-huggy with Putin you've become noticeably silent on what those countries currently are going through and what they will experience in the future as Putin gets more emboldened. So, what's the deal with that?

If the United States has the tech to keep up with Russia's while there's no reason for Canadians worrying about PM Vacay being caught in a compromising position.

No way Trump is going to trust the conspirational security staff to do this. This is where parnoia gets you. (In a hotel room getting pissed on.)

Did you see me change the flag on my profile? No, it's still Ukraine as it has been for almost three years now.

I've often stated my concern for the security of Estonia against a Russian invasion and I've made the case that if Putin wants to say that the presence of Russian speakers in Estonia means that Estonia is Russian territory then I'm 100% 'in the tank' to ethnically cleanse Estonia of all Russian loyalists...let them go back to Russia and at gunpoint if needs be.

And you mistake my cautioned respect for Putin as affinity. I also have cautioned respect for polar bears. Doesn't mean I want to get huggy-huggy with them.

While I respect Putin and hold a grudging admiration of the man for outthinking and outmaneuvering Barack the Magic Negro I'd not quibble over putting a bullet through his head if my country asked me to.

Not sure how you see that as my being huggy-huggy with the fucker but you do have a record of making shit up and then outraging yourself over it so that's your affair.

He'll probably stay in the local Drumpf Tower, so that he can bully the employees around and grab the pretty female ones by the pu55y.
