    Vladimir Putin says Trump was impeached for 'made-up reasons'
    By Mary Ilyushina and Devan Cole, CNN
    Updated 8:49 AM ET, Thu December 19, 2019

    Moscow (CNN)Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his annual news conference Thursday that US President Donald Trump's impeachment was based on "made-up reasons," and expressed doubts that Trump will be removed from power.

    ...

    "Regarding the continuation of our dialogue till the end of Trump's presidency, you make it sound as if it's already coming to an end," Putin said answering a question about whether Russia has a strategy for continuing the dialogue with the US until the end of Trump's presidency.

    "I actually really doubt that it is ending, it still has to go through Senate where as far as I know the Republicans hold the majority so it's unlikely they will want to remove the representative of their party for some made-up reasons."​


    He keeps his American asset close, keeps him very amenable to himself. Putin, like Little Rocket Man, is getting everything he can out of Trump, and that means buttering Trump up like a biscuit. Trump is incredibly easy to manipulate thanks to his massive narcissism and crippling Dunning-Kruger.

    I daresay Putin sounds more reasonable than you do, in your analysis of Putin's comment..... Just sayin'

    TDS aside, what actually is wrong with the Putin's perfectly rational statement, in your opinion?

    It's funny watching liberals rationalize everything into this weird little alternate reality they have constructed for themselves.

    This post is nothing more than an ad hom and your use of the term "Dunning-Kruger" is highly ironic...

    Putin also scorned global warning which puts him at odds with Trump but liberals conveniently glance over that part

    Presuhdint Covfefe thinks he is a "stable genius." This is what you get when you combine narcissism with Dunning-Kruger.

    An interesting observation.

    Sort of like the kind of people who take places like Infowars and Breitbart as Gospel?

    Got it.

    Of course it would sound reasonable to you. It lines up perfectly with the Republican narrative.

    That's nice, but I'm talking about you and your post, which is filled with intellectual fallacies and the misuse of the term "Dunning-Kruger".

    If you're going to try and make fun of the President, you can at least make sure you don't sound like him..

    Right, couldn't be Trump won because voters rejected radical Dem policies, could it?

    Both of those sources correctly said there was nothing to the Mueller hoax and that there were real FISA court abuses that launched that hoax.

    Infowars and Breitbart 2, Andrew Jackson 0.

    So, you're saying Putin is vocally in favor of combating global warming. This alone isn't going to anger Trump and harm his efforts to butter up and manipulate the guy, you know. Trump probably doesn't even have strong personal feelings about global warming, but makes noise about that to please his base.

    That wasn't why he won, no. He won because Hillary was successfully portrayed with Russian assistance as being corrupt, and because Trump was regularly boosted with Russian assistance also. That game has ultimately changed very little for Putin since Trump got into office. It was and remains Trump + Putin versus the Democrats.

    No surprise that you on the Left would seize any opportunity to try to breathe life into your "Russia Collusion" fantasy... again.... BUT, just for the fun of it, tell us all, please, exactly WHAT CRIME(S) WAS TRUMP ACCUSED OF IN THE 'ARTICLES'?! Take your time, but please be specific (this ought to be good....). "Bribery and the Honor Services Wire Fraud"...? Is THAT what the radical Left has 'hung its hat' on?

    You don't have to reply if you don't want to, and most of the time when faced with a question like that the radical Democrat Left just fades away. BUT -- your Libocrat SENATORS are going to have to respond -- and don't be surprised that when they do they'll be met with GALES of laughter!

    Conclusion: when this whole puking extravaganza of 'impeachment' has blown over, your Leftist, America-hating goons in Congress are going to wish they'd simply settled for a "Censure" instead of pushing this "impeachment" fraud! Hint: when the cum dries, you tend to forget how much fun the orgasm was....

    I'm not misusing it in the least. Trump really believes he is more intelligent and knowledgeable than he really is. E.g. when he claimed he was smarter than our generals, or when he said "I know more about drones than anybody. I know about every form of safety that you can have."

    In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence.[1]
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

    It describes Trump to a T, as does NPD:

    Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a long-term pattern of exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of empathy toward other people.[2][3] People with NPD often spend much time thinking about achieving power and success, or on their appearance.[3] Typically, they also take advantage of the people around them.[3] Such narcissistic behavior typically begins by early adulthood, and occurs across a broad range of situations.[3]

    I think the fact that you can't understand hyperbole, banter, and the fact that you couldn't describe the term without looking up sacrifices any modicum of intellectual superiority you might have obtained previously.

    Which she is.

    A few million in facebook ads is supposed to outweigh billions in MSM free propaganda. As Obama said once, it is ridiculous to think Russia could sway our election. Russia has an economy the size of Italy's, a military 10% of ours, and one broken aircraft carrier. Yawn.

    No she isn't.

    You're once again downplaying what the Russians have been doing. It is far more than just Facebook ads. But as we've seen, part of their disinformation is to deny and minimize their efforts, once again putting them right on the same page as Trump. Not so much the rest of the Republicans in this regard, though, because even they acknowledge Russian interference when pressed. Their problem is that they largely remain silent and refuse to challenge Trump when he calls it a "hoax" along with his Russian allies.
