Putin slams trump impeachment....now isn't that special

Vladimir Putin slams Trump impeachment, criticises Democrats

Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin called the US impeachment process "far-fetched" on Thursday, making a seemingly obvious prediction that Donald Trump will be acquitted in the Senate.

At his annual news conference in Moscow, Putin said that the move is a continuation of the Democrats' fight against Trump.

"The party that lost the (2016) election, the Democratic Party, is trying to achieve results by other means," Putin said, a point made by Republicans in Congress during the impeachment proceedings.

Putin likened Trump's impeachment to the earlier US probe into collusion with Russia, which Putin downplayed as being groundless.

Nobody gives a damn what you have to say. You've made a big enough mess of your own country. Butt out!

..Trump or the GOP. If anything, it says they are in Russia's pocket...and maybe that's exactly what Putin wants the world to think.

Think about it, the Party of Reagan, billed itself as the go to party against the "Evil Empire"....and now, their chumps and dependent on Russia.
