Of course not, why would we expect otherwise?

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he won’t recognize President-elect Joe Biden’s projected victory in the U.S. election until the results are confirmed “in a legitimate, legal way” or until the former vice president’s win is “recognized by the opposing party.”
According to Bloomberg, the Russian leader made the comment during remarks on state-owned television on Sunday.
“We will work with anyone who has the confidence of the American people,” Putin stated. “But that confidence can only be given to a candidate whose victory has been recognized by the opposing party, or after the results are confirmed in a legitimate, legal way.”
Putin also reportedly claimed that the delay, which he called “a formality,” wouldn’t hurt relations between Washington and Moscow because “there’s nothing to damage.”
“They’re already ruined,” he said, according to the network.
Of course, Putin is not ready to abandon his most useful asset.
And why would he when that asset is still delivering exactly what he was selected to deliver?

The Trump administration formally shut the door on the Open Skies treaty Sunday, exiting the agreement while moving to get rid of the U.S. Air Force planes that have been used to carry out the nearly three-decade-old accord.
President Trump had served notice in May that the U.S. would withdraw in six months from the accord, which was intended to reduce the risk of war by allowing Russia and the West to carry out unarmed reconnaissance flights over each other’s territories. U.S. officials, however, have long complained that Moscow hasn’t fully complied with its terms.
In a move that could complicate President-elect Joe Biden’s options if he sought to re-enter the agreement, the Trump administration is taking steps to dispose of the two specially equipped OC-135B planes the U.S. has used to carry out Open Skies flights.
A senior U.S. official said the planes are being designated as “excess defense articles,” which means they can be given to foreign partners at reduced or no cost.
“We’ve started liquidating the equipment,” the official said. “Other countries can come purchase or just take the airframes. They are really old and cost-prohibitive for us to maintain. We don’t have a use for them anymore.”
30 years this treaty has helped to keep us safe, and in just one term Donald Trump has managed to sabotage it and hand our long time adversary the opening they need to build up strength for a possible invasion while remaining undetected.
‘You can’t vote no’: GOP canvasser gets schooled at Michigan certification meeting
A Republican member of Michigan’s Board of State Canvassers was confronted by a former state elections director over attempts to delay certification of the state’s election results without a vote.
“I think, first of all, the answer is, of course, you can’t vote ‘no,’” Chris Thomas told Board member Norm Shinkle. “There is no ‘no’ in this circumstance. Each of you play a necessary role — you’re at the pinnacle of Michigan’s democracy — you’re the endgame of the statewide elections for 2020.”
Thomas went on to say that after 5.5 million people have exercised their right to vote, it’s the Board’s responsibility to make the results “which are already widely known, official.”
“Michigan election law does not need to tell you that ‘yes’ is the only option,” Thomas said. “Because without a ‘yes,’ you don’t have anything — there’s no election, no winners, no losers, no beginning of Michigan’s next chapter.

Michigan GOP chair tells elections board not to certify results because Republicans were ‘disrespected’
….. “Every step of the election process has been stacked against Republicans,” she continued. “The majority of election officials treated all challengers regardless of party with dignity and respect and let them participate meaningfully in the process.”
But according to Cox, one polling location was “inhospitable and hostile” to Republican poll watchers.
“The reaction from the secretary of state, the attorney general and partisan Democrats has been antagonistic, belligerent and disrespectful,” Cox complained. “I also will not let Republican challengers be disrespected and shoved out of the process.”
“I will continue to stand up for Republicans and demand that they be respected,” she concluded.

Congress demands GSA’s Emily Murphy justify her refusal to brief officials until next week

Murphy had claimed she couldn’t meet this week because she can’t figure out the technology. So, the House offered to set it up for her.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court shoots down Trump’s lawsuit — and overturns one of his wins
Trump was suffering under a 2-35 win/loss rate for his election lawsuits, but the Pennsylvania Supreme Court just changed that.
According to Democratic attorney Marc Elias, “Pennsylvania Supreme Court AFFIRMS our 5 victories in Philadelphia and REVERSES our one loss in Allegheny County.”
The suit was attempting to throw out ballots legally cast.

How QAnon Is Taking Over The GOP
Looks like Michigan certified the election 3-1. Biden wins Michigan, bye bye donnie.
i am sure trump will try to bribe the electoral college, however we have a LAW that the electoral college must vote for whomever received the most votes and that is Biden.
As for Putin, seriously who cares what he thinks, trump is never going to concede and we don’t need putin’s approval, Vlad only got elected because he murders any opposition.
he elected trump in 2016 and will have to be satisfied with that. Also no G7 membership for Vlad.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Monday denied that Mexico had agreed to capture a cartel leader for the United States in order to secure the return of ex-defense minister Salvador Cienfuegos from U.S. custody.
Reuters reported last week that Mexico agreed with U.S. Attorney General William Barr to seek the arrest of a high-level Mexican drug cartel leader as part of a deal to get U.S. drug trafficking charges against Cienfuegos dropped.
“There is no deal in the shadows,” Lopez Obrador said at his regular news conference, referring to the Reuters story as well as other media reports that Mexico had threatened to expel U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents over Cienfuegos’ arrest.
He said it was wrong to suggest that the United States sent Cienfuegos back so that Mexico would send Washington a leader of organized crime.
Cienfuegos’ arrest in Los Angeles in October followed a multi-year investigation that used wire taps to track a military figure, dubbed “El Padrino” (The Godfather) by traffickers.
Investigators concluded “El Padrino” was Cienfuegos and that he helped drug traffickers move tonnes of narcotics.
Mexico’s government, angry it was not forewarned about the investigation, hailed Cienfuegos’ return on Wednesday as a diplomatic achievement and a win for the nation’s sovereignty.
