Midknight Review -- new and revised: The correct understanding as to President Trump's pretended "approval" of Putin sending home 755 diplomates

The correct understanding as to President Trump's pretended "approval" of Putin expelling 755 diplomats is rather obvious: Its called "tongue in cheek" humor, and, is a refusal on Trump's part to allow Putin any satisfaction. Instead of scolding Putin (has that EVER helped . . . . . ever?), Trump does what one does to a classroom of bullies.

Think about it: The worst thing you can do when others are making fun of you is to show that such action bothers you. Instead, smiling in the face of insults from a crowd you cannot beat, "agreeing" with hurtful remarks and walking away, is the fast way to shut down a bully's comments. They WANT their action to irritate. Trump did not give Putin that pleasure.

Over the years, we have learned that the Leftouts have no clue how to deal with bullies except to cry and whine and "go tell mommy." Trump (and millions of blue collar types) is great at "giving it back" to the bullies of this world.

Here is what happened:

Putin: I am expelling 755 of your diplomats. That will teach you to mess with me.

Best response: Hey, Putin baby, I was cutting over-staffing, anyway. Thanks

THAT is what happened and if you can't see the humor in this, you do not know how to deal with a bully.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
