Glad we now have an alpha too.

We have a beta arse bitch who whines when someone throws back some of the shite he slings out

That's interesting but it's exactly what you sound like..

If anyone is doing any "throwing back" its the alpha in the WH.
The sky-screaming, juvenile left is on a year-long melt, because they cant accept that "she" lost.
Finally, someone is willing to call them out on their insanity. These screechers literally stay on the edge of their seats waiting to see what Trump will do or say next, so they can pull their hair, salivate uncontrollably and gnash their teeth.
Finally, someone with common-sense and the moxie to point our their hypocrisy.
The ship has been righted, we're back on course.

You didn't know all this? Better get somebody to tell you.

What prize does she get when she loses?

Probably what she's already had, Putin's little dick in her butt.

The Russians aren't for the Dems or the Repubs; they're just trying keep us at each other's throats. They're trolling both sides, and doing a very good job of it.
Putin dislikes Hillary; pretty much for the same reasons we all dislike Hillary: she's part of the effort by wealthy elitists to create a global government ruled by those that follow the Left-handed Path.
These people want Russia and the US to cede their sovereignty. Putin told Soros to kick dirt. For this I admire him. Trump's trying to uproot these same jokers, who have become entrenched through the decades, from our governmental agencies. Why do you think progs and the establishment ruling class are fighting him at every turn? They are fighting to hold on to their money and power.

You should educate yourself about Crimea.

In what way?

I'm well aware of the USSR's grant of territory to the Ukrainian SSR, Russia's history in the region, the demographics of the peninsula and the 2014 referendum. I don't care.

Crimea is strategically important, so important that a war was fought over it, the Soviets and Russians have based their Black Sea Fleet there, and the Russians were willing to invade in 2014.

I would much rather Crimea belong to Ukraine, NATO member or not, than it belong to Russia. The move was bad for American and NATO interests.

Apologists for the Russian invasion have used two arguments to justify Putin's actions:

1. Crimea was, historically, a Russian territory.
2. Putin was defending the rights of the Russian minority of Ukraine who live in Crimea/Donbass who would rather live in Russia, or a pro-Russian independent state, than in a EU/NATO Ukraine.

These are the exact same justifications that Putin has used elsewhere and they're both bullshite. They are identical to the justifications Hitler used, just substitute "Russian" with "German" and "Crimea and Donbass" with "Austria, Silesia, and the Sudetenland". If they weren't valid back then they aren't valid now.

Putin is an autocratic, authoritarian scumbag who spits on the principles of freedom and limited government that make up the best parts of conservatism. He deals with dissent by having critics jailed and murdered.

You think that's why he named Gary Cohn, who was president of Goldman Sachs, director of the National Economic Council? Or why he named Steve Mnuchin (17 years at Goldman Sachs) as Treasury Secretary? Or why he made the CEO of Exxon Mobil Secretary of State? Yeah, he's really cleaning house and eliminating the influence of international capital there.
