Здравствуйте to Our New Mother Russia July 18, 2018 Act 1 Full Frontal Samantha Bee



Samantha Bee

“Like many of you, I am shocked by President Trump’s press conference with Vladimir Putin this week,” began Samantha Bee, before showing footage from the summit in Helsinki. “I guess we’ll never know who to believe: Trump’s own intelligence agencies and his Department of Justice, or the guy who smiles like he can only orgasm when a journalist dies. “Let me just say, as an American citizen and as a believer in a true and free world,” Bee continued, “seeing those two next to each other makes me think, how many phone books is Putin standing on? We do not talk enough about how Putin is tiny.”

The host went on to say that “there is not one part of that groveling display that Trump hasn’t said before”, showing video of the numerous occasions where he has called into question the validity of US intelligence agencies’ claim that Russia meddled in the 2016 election. “The most shocking thing on TV this week wasn’t Trump and Putin standing on a platform and roasting the United States like a geopolitical Statler and Waldorf,” Bee said. “What shocked me was the fact that Republicans seemed shocked.”
.



Bee then took aim at the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, and House speaker, Paul Ryan: “Republicans could make sure that our next elections aren’t vulnerable to Russian hacks, which approximately no one is doing,” she said. “They could also pass a bill to protect the Mueller investigation, like the one Mitch McConnell killed in the Senate and Paul Ryan said wasn’t necessary.

“Republican leaders are every bit as compromised by Russia as Trump,” she concluded. “McConnell and Ryan have so far put up with whatever Putin wants and, as far as we know, they haven’t been peed on by anyone.”

Visuals of dog drinking out of the toilet or licking his balls. Substitute the dump.

No wonder the Russians are such grumpy people.

She hasn't been on my radar for some reason, but I actually think she is one of the best political comedians out there.

Thanks for posting!
