Putin Starting to Wonder If His Puppets Are Smart Enough to Pull This Off

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)—Russian President Vladimir Putin is “starting to get concerned” that the puppets he installed in the executive branch of the U.S. government “might not be up to the task at hand,” sources confirmed on Tuesday.

According to the sources, the flameout of the national-security adviser Michael Flynn was only the most recent event that has caused Putin to wonder if the figureheads he propelled into office are “just too dim-witted” to serve the goals of the Russian Federation.

“When you choose a puppet, you’re looking for a sweet spot,” one source close to Putin said. “You want to choose someone who’s dumb enough to be manipulated, but not so dumb that he can’t find the light switches.”

“Increasingly, it looks like we missed that sweet spot,” the source said.

2. Our saving grace in all this is that Putin, like Dolt45, is a stupid man.

Neither of these posers know how to use their powers for the betterment of humanity.

8. Why would he 'allow' this situation to have unfolded the way it did?

He's brought attention to himself as well. I'd bet you've researched him more than I have but right now it looks like he's hitched his horse to a sinking ship, and that doesn't seem smart to me.

9. Well.....McGahn is an RNC fuckpuppet. His purpose is to tell Trump it's okay to steal

whilst the RNC and every Repub rakes in the money while we are all focused on Trump. And what's going to happen to him? Absolutely nothing. Trump isn't his ship....the Republicans are.
