A Russian President?

That would be because he isn’t. All that crap is exactly that - crap spread in the liberal media for liberals to blindly believe in.

Russia red baiting is even more out of date than Pog and Tamagotchi references. Moreover, there’s a segment of the right that sees Russia as on the right path. It’s a nation of white people who don’t let liberals run roughshod over them, and do things to fight “PC BS” like pass laws against homosexual propaganda and lock up agitators like Pussy Riot and bomb the hell out of Muslims.

On the other hand, the amount of apologia over this is pretty amusing. Trump criticizes everyone and everything, except Putin. He denied Russia’s invasion of Crimea, echoing Ford’s gaffe about the Soviets not dominating Eastern Europe. The only change he wanted in the RNC platform was to soften the language against Russia. If Hillary surrounded herself with the same people back in '08 the GOP would’ve called her a plant.

There’s a phrase I read recently about a character who was hopelessly in love with an unattainable love, that he’d drag his ballsack over a mile of broken glass for the chance to throw pebbles at her shit. Clumpy just put me in mind of it again.

You know you’re full of it. I know you’re full of it. Everyone of woman born knows you’re full of it. Now you’re posting to MacDuff?

The right called Obama a terrorist sympathizer and a traitor because he didn’t say “radical Islamic terrorism.”

The president-elect called for a foreign country to commit espionage against the US and the right calls it a witch hunt.

Hmph.

Trump may be many things but a Russian puppet isn’t one of them. For all his faults, and I concede he has a few, he’s a patriotic American. The danger for them is that if liberals continue to portray Trump as the Devil Incarnate that’s a pretty low bar for him to jump over and look good when compared to the hellish portrait.

He’s Ego before Country. He’s already denigrated the entire intelligence community in front of the entire world to avoid saying anything bad about Russia.

It better be, he’s not built for jumping.

Thanks for your input, Comrade, you’ve been well trained.

Indeed.

Trump Ego before Trump Profit.
Trump Profit before Republican Party.
Republican Party before country.

Give one example of how is he a patriotic American. You mean that he said so in his stump speeches?

Hey, he’s made sacrifices comparable to sacrificing your life to save your friends. Like avoiding STDs from underage hookers at his parties.

Yeah. Feed me shit and call it mousse. How would I know?

I would say it is tolerably obvious that trump would admire a ruthless kleptocrat who’s spent his life brutally dominating everyone who gets in way, assassinating journalists, destroying lives, accumulating power and wealth, and parading around his solely-owned media empire acting like the tacky strongman king of reality shows. What’s not to love?

trump is far too self-absorbed and vain for it to cross his mind that Putin considers him just another contemptible victim of his manipulations.

The whole thing is so disgusting it can hardly be believed. That so many Americans don’t even seem to see what is going on, is more disgusting than can be borne.

Even worse, he was saying it was the same as serving in Vietnam. Except for the limbs blown off or death.
Remember how happy he was to get the Purple Heart he always wanted? And how much easier it was than the regular way?

Trump Calls for Closer Relationship Between U.S. and Russia
Big surprise. I wonder if Trump and Putin have registered at Target yet?

Trump’s tweets:

ALL CAPS-- pretty sophisticated way of adding emphasis, Mr. Tovarish-Elect.

Geez, this might cause Ronald Reagan to leap out of his grave. :wink:

I am honestly more worried that Trump will seel out Ukraine or similar in return for a few billion appearing in a Swiss bak account of his. And consider himself smart for it.

He’s a totally selfish psychopath. He’s not patriotic at all, that would require the ability to care about something outside himself. He’d burn America down to the bedrock if it profited him somehow to do so, and never feel a moment of guilt.

He’s a Russian puppet - or more of a Putin hand grenade - because he’s incompetent and destructive to Putin’s rival/enemy America.

As for faults, he’s pretty much *nothing but *faults. The prisons are full of felons with more virtues than he has.

It’s a ludicrous overstatement to suggest that we have a “Russian President”.

Even though his “reset” towards more friendly relations with Russia has been a failure, and he’s backed down or remained passive in the face of Russian aggressions against Ukraine and in Syria, Obama is not dominated by Putin; in fact just recently he wagged his finger at him quite vigorously.

Trump might turn out to be even more accomodating to the Russians, but so far all we have to go on is semi-fawning talk.

I think you will find that many of us Do care. Unfortunately the flag waving phoney patriots in Congress, and their blind followers don’t give a fuck. Now the son of a bitch is going to gut our intel agencies for daring to contradict his bullshit. He’s also doing everything he can to discount and sabotage any information that covers all the shit the Russians were doing - fake “news”, mudslinging, hacking, etc etc etc etc.

He’s a fucking traitor.

If this country was still worth a damn, he’d be swinging from a rope on the White House lawn.

Harumph indeed.
