1. Cannot wait for the readout!

[Botany]

2. Grown ups!

I wonder if he asked about Russia screwing with our elections and if they want Trump?

[dchill]

4. Enquiring minds want to know THAT shit!

[Botany]

15. Whose your Vlad Daddy Donny?

[flibbitygiblets]

19. There's a new sheriff in town, and he's kickin' ass and takin' names

Starting with the "V"s!

[Cha]

31. lol

Instead of gorging on junk food.

[flibbitygiblets]

40. Or riding a golf cart because walking is too much work

[Cha]

41. Yes, and golfing with said golf cart bc being a potus

is TOO MUCH WORK!

[flibbitygiblets]

42. Being president is hard, who knew?!

[LiberalLovinLug]

35. When I see that photo, I immediately think of this one...

[bdamomma]

36. I love that

picture, Pres Obama is giving Putin the stare. Don't talk shit with me Vlad.

[ahoysrcsm]

45. So much is being said in that photo. And not one word spoken.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

46. Great photo!

Let's send a framed copied to Trump and every GOP elected official.

[magicarpet]

3. I thought chit chats with Putie were top tip top top secret ?

[gratuitous]

6. Only the perfect calls

Besides, how many times do you want to read, "What is thy bidding, O my Master?" as Trump bows and scrapes before Putin.

[BobTheSubgenius]

22. I believe the descriptor has to have "tippy" or "tippytop" in it somewhere.

I'm sure Vlad misses his poodle, but he should be grateful for the long run he was given. That was better for him, and for longer, than he could have dreamed possible at the genesis of this whole nightmare.

Besides, I'm sure he has hooks in a number of other places. None of the the OO, but you can't have everything.

Even though you used to have everything.

[brewens]

5. I'm betting our national security agencies have every word of that conversation so they can

do their jobs. Would Biden have met with them to plan his conversation? I would think that would be a good idea. Carefully select what information to give Putin and what questions to ask. Putin's reactions are something they can work with.

[Klaralven]

7. Putin - Lavrov to discuss with Blinken, status quo, Navalny who?, didn't do it, or it, or it, or it

[PirateRo]

8. What about the hacking? The political manipulation to put tRump in office?

Targeting American soldiers with $100,000 bounties? Where’s the rest?

[Mike 03]

10. Maybe you missed this part of the tweet:

and to express concern about Navalny, Solar Winds, 2020 election interference, bounties on the heads of our troops and mistreatment of protesters.

Solar Winds is "the hacking."
"election interference" is "the political manipulation to put tRump in office"
"bounties on the heads of our troops" is the "Targeting American soldiers with $100,000 bounties"

I'd say Biden covered a lot more ground in that one phone call than AssFace ever confronted Putin about over the last four years.

[PirateRo]

20. Ooohhh, thanks, I feel better now.

[RussellCattle]

23. Nicely done. Your concern was certainly well placed, though. We do have high expectations.

[SlogginThroughIt]

14. Huh? That all happened.

[PirateRo]

21. Yah, I had to read the next line down...

[W_HAMILTON]

32. One whole line down? Pretty quick to jump to outrage there, buddy.

[PirateRo]

38. Yes, I'm very angry.

tRump must go to prison along with his pals and supporters and we cannot ignore these items. I should have read further.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

9. A fucking big deal! A president that defends .U.S., democratic principles

..unlike cowering to dictators like odious-trairor-racist-vulgar-con#45 who just got his butt kicked out of WH.

What did Biden say at inaugration--wait...let allow me to search.... here-- is exact quote along with video excerpt re inaugural soeech...

Biden: "We will lead not only by the example of our power, but by the power of our example."

[dalton99a]

11. And nobody ate the notes

[Kid Berwyn]

12. Double-plus Good! NT

[Irish_Dem]

13. Biden to Putin: I am going to kick your ass to hell and back.

Lay off the crap Putie.

[bdamomma]

33. The Russian

people I hope will get Putin out. They have had enough from Putin. Protest away.

[Irish_Dem]

34. I hope so too. Putin needs to go.

He is said to be the richest man in the world, what more does he want?
I guess he loves the power trip. Like GOPers.

[SunSeeker]

16. Nice. We'll have a readout instead of relying on Putin's quips like under Trump.

It's sure nice having a president who's not a traitor.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. It's nice to get more from the President than from Russia Today!

[ffr]

17. Oh to be a fly on the wall in the room for that call.

Must have been unbearably uncomfortable for Putin.

[Digger]

27. Or on Pence's head.

[ad121rome]

18. Goodness

Not only does he defend our country but lives by the Constitution too.

[calimary]

24. Nice, for a change, 'eh?

What a WELCOME change!

[Initech]

26. And he won't be calling Fox News tonight to congratulate himself either!

[LudwigPastorius]

28. Heh heh...

President Biden just gave Putin one of his best "C'mon, man!" talking-tos.

[MyMission]

29. I want to know what Vlad said about 45!

And his enablers. Some thoughts on what he might have said:

The former administration arranged x,y,z.
They're very fine people.
45 assured us...
45 encouraged us...
45 allowed us...
45 called me often to ask my advice!
I'm happy to send you copies of the evidence I've been holding over his head.
When 45 asked, I told dimwit Don I couldn't help him with the 2020 election. If I had, you would not be in the white house, president Biden. You owe me!

I doubt any of that was said. Just having a bit of fun.
Of course I'll be looking forward to hearing what the two of them discussed.
Very serious topics.

[BobTheSubgenius]

30. I'm sure the Russians have had tons of time to prep for that call.

They've known for months that the downhill gliding they've had the pleasure of was over. Now, Vlad has to talk to a real professional, and one who has game. And if the conversation wanders into an area that's not his strongest, he doesn't feel his ego has been crushed for all time if he asks someone who is an expert.

"Working with..." seems to be part of his DNA.

[Tarc]

37. Is the readout up yet?

?

[roamer65]

39. It's been 4 years since I attached this title to an actual surname.

PRESIDENT BIDEN.

Thank God I can do it again.

[Blue Owl]

43. Diarrhea Donny was Putin's fluffer

[NoRoadUntravelled]

44. I love having a real President. nt
