Entire Russian Government Resigns

Um..
The whole Russian government has resigned

Russia's prime minister and its entire government resigned on Wednesday as part of sweeping constitutional changes that could see President Vladimir Putin extend his hold on power.

In his annual state-of-the-nation speech, Putin said he favored changing the constitution to hand the State Duma, the lower house of Parliament, the power to choose Russia's prime minister and other key positions

In other news, Trump hires Medvedev and entire Russian government to staff.....s explode!

This could work two different ways, as your source is hinting.
On the face of it, it promises to make the system more parliamentary and less presidential, making the presidency more ornamental.
On the other hand, re-modelling the constitution offers a good opportunity to drop the term-limitation on the presidency.

Wow. I wonder how that is going to be spun into Trump’s fault? Russian government resigning shows Trump job growth is a hoax, perhaps?

The thing is, Putin has stated that term limits don't apply to him.

The thing I find most worrying is that the Duma has more than its fair share of extreme far Right members. I don't like the idea of those people getting even more power.

Waiting for this news to break in UK

Bernie, here's your chance to actually win big!

And the news begins to worry about Trump annexing Russia and starting WWIII in 3, 2, 1 ...

In other breaking news, Putin is elected with 90% of votes, other 10% are told, 'Nyet, try again'.

Uh, could you teach us some Pelosi so we may communicate with her?

Watching and listening to her speak makes my head hurt...

Russians are not communist or socialist anymore, Bernie does not qualify.

I am having a hard time figuring what is going on there, the Prime Minister resigned but is taking a different job, probably why he is resigning. Parliament will need to elect the new prime Minister it seems. I do not know how they were doing stuff so I am not sure how the change will effect things in their government. Putin's actions actually give parliament more power, even during his four years he has left. That way whomever is president, including himself, is limited in their ability to declare war or become a dictator.

I actually see this as a possible positive move for Russia towards stemming of Dictatorship.

I could be wrong though, the information about this is vague and limited. It sounds like Putin is going to bring this change to the voters in the country, essentially creating a shift to democracy a little.

Putin has found a way to stay in power for 2 decades.

This is nothing new. As far as potential dictators go, he seems to be pretty consistent on his love for Russia.

Let's face it. If it wasn't for Putin then the US/NATO would have intervened by now.
