Let us congratulate a dictator on his election win

[someoneyouknow]

"An American president does not lead the free world by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections."

Thus spoke Senator John McCain when the con artist announced he had congratulated Vlad Putin on his historic fourth term in office after having jailed any opposition candidate and the ballot boxes stuffed with fake votes:

Oddly, the recent poisoning of a Russian spy via nerve agent produced in Russia, nor Russia's continuing deliberate bombing of hospitals and civilians in Syria was never mentioned. Then again, perhaps the con artist didn't want to raise a touchy subject seeing how U.S. forces killed over two hundred Russian soldiers and mercenaries last month. The con artist had to make amends somehow.

Meanwhile, the con artist has yet to visit our closest European ally, England, because a) he won't get a ride in the Queen's carriage and b) people protesting his visit might hurt his feelings.

UPDATE

Since he owes his regime to Putin, the con artist ignored warnings from his national security advisers to not congratulate the dictator on his election win. So adamant were the advisers that no congratulatory statement should be made they included a section in his briefing materials in all-capital letters stating “DO NOT CONGRATULATE.

Even further, the con artist refused to condemn the Russian dictator's order to kill a former Russian spy through the use of nerve agent, instead offering his well wishes to the dictator on another six years lording over the people of Russia. The con artist further ingratiated himself to his puppet master by telling reporters he and the dictator would be meeting in the near future.

Being owned has left visible skidmarks on Tromp. Maybe he won't get asylum in Crimea after all, even if he begs. He's begging now, on his knees, lips pursed, panting, moaning...

BAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!

Ally...LOL.....our closest ally!!!

They hate us and think we're a bunch of knuckle dragging trailer trash because we dare not to do things how THEY think we should be doing them.

USA has no allies, just a bunch of gold diggers looking for a ride and a body guard they can throw under the bus as soon as the high dollar dirty work is handled.

If T-Dawg does anything worth a fuck it will be telling them, the EU, NATO and the UN to fuck off.

Oddly, Trump congratulated Putin on his "electoral victory." Russian does not have an electoral college.

Freudian slip that shows he identifies with Putin "greatly." He never criticizes him because it would be like criticizing himself.

Very creepy. Did he come up with this on his own, or has Putin been whispering sweet nothings in his ear. What do they talk about with each other

 

[someoneyouknow]

The Whiner in Chief is throwing another temper tantrum because the warnings not to congratulate the dictator on his "win" were made known to the public. Excuses are being made how this is illegal, how it shouldn't have been out there, the "deep state", and everything else imaginable.

What this shows, and should be obvious to anyone with at least one functional brain cell, is the con artist will spare no opportunity to genuflect to his puppet master. He has yet to say a single disparaging word and in fact goes out of his way not to criticize anything Russia or Putin do and even makes excuses for them.

All such issues go back to the original act--if Trump just didn't say it, it couldn't credibly be leaked. Same thing with the Stormy Daniels, business skullduggery, Russian collusion, et. al issues. If Trump hadn't done them, they wouldn't be floating around in the public now. Such a sleazeball.

 

[LincolnDuncan]

He's afraid of Putin, the only question is why? My guess is that Putin has evidence of criminal acts by Trump but there might also be a pee tape of some sort.

It can be both--and obviously is by what anyone can discern on their own reasoning skills combined with Trump's behavior. The Russians own him financially and know that much of that is illegal activity and they've also filmed him in sexual activity, which is a specialty of theirs and one he obviously is addicted to. They can both ruin him financially (his wealth is probably all smoke and mirrors anyway) and get him thrown in prison. Anyone who can't see the truth of this now is a half wit and/or is morally compromised themselves.

You mean if he had taken personal responsibility for his actions, these wouldn't be issues?

I'm shocked you would suggest something such as this.

I was more saying that if he didn't do these morally degenerate things, he wouldn't need to complain about people pointing to what he did/does. That's way before taking personal responsibility for having done them.

Putin may have something on Trump. I'm inclined to think it's more psychological for Donnie. He sees Putin as his ideal. He's a Daddy figure. He is totally identified with him. He sees himself with 74% of the vote and lifetime rule like Putin. He sees himself as a strong man. He sees himself putting journalists in jail. He LOVES Putin. Putin never admits wrong. Putin has no weaknesses. Putin does not have a Special Counsel after him. Putin is Big Strong He-Man.

If Donnie were to criticize Putin, it would be the same as admitting he is a loser President with 33% approval who everybody hates and doesn't know what he's doing. It's his equivalent of sticking his fingers in his ears and going "La la la la la la" none of this is real, none of this is really happening.

I can live in my own fantasy world if I want to and you can't make me do anything.

 

[someoneyouknow]

Putin may have something on Trump.

More and more, that seems to be the consensus:

"I think he's afraid of the President of Russia," Brennan said on Wednesday. "I think one can speculate as to why, that the Russians may have something on him personally that they could always roll out and make his life more difficult."​

It's psychological for Donnie only in that the Russians have him by the financial balls at least--and probably on his sexual behavior, as well. It is too much in both the Russian's operations and Trump's sexual weaknesses that they don't have the dirt on him in that as well. It's obvious in what has already been revealed; it's obvious in Trump's behavior; it's obvious in what Trump won't do/say and won't reveal of his finances. It's time for people to stop pussyfooting around this. Only their partisan ideology or their lack of reasoning power can prevent them from admitting the obvious.

or maybe they just have recordings of him with young boys

It could be. That's the more rational explanation.

The more irrational is Trump just behaving like a 2 year old. You tell me I can't do this, so I'm going to do it. It's his way of defying Mueller and showing his contempt for the Russia probe.

He hates this Russia investigation with a burning passion. He's so mad. So he's going to carry on and show how little he thinks of it. Just like raising a big middle finger. The more people say he's under Putin's thumb, the more he's going to support Putin.

He does this with any criticism, immediately doubling down on whatever he's being criticized for, like Charlottesville.

IN other words, no one puts baby in a corner.

His ego is paramount. National defense, national security, mean nothing.

This isn't just a matter of what just Trump does. It's also a matter of how Russia conducts its clandestine operations (under the direction of a former KGB operative). What we can clearly see are the results of a successful Russian recruitment and agent running operation--using Trump's psychological issues against all of us--in the world at large, not just in the United States. I have seen for decades how the Russians do it on the sly. Now, because the Republicans in Congress are complicit, the Russians are able to brazenly do it in the open. Who knows how many in the Republican leadership also are being controlled by the Russians--most likely through campaign contributions. The control of Trump is quite evidently through direct financial ownership.

 

[LincolnDuncan]

Firing Comey was bad but he added insult to injury when he bragged about it to the Russians that he invited into the oval office and then referred to Comey as a nut job.

President chicken shit!

Don't let the my uniform scare you, it's largely ceremonial.

What about Putin should Trump be criticizing?

Why are you and the other Trump haters so fucking obsessed about how much he doesn't hate Russia?

And that doesn't even get into the seizing of Crimea from Ukraine, the ongoing invasion of Ukraine and supporting terrorists within Ukraine.

But hey, why let facts get in the way of showing what an utter moron you are.

Hate speech isn't free speech ok??

Sensible restrictions, they are where they should be.

Deliberately bombing hospitals in Syria.

LOL like we've got any room to talk.

And that doesn't even get into the seizing of Crimea from Ukraine, the ongoing invasion of Ukraine and supporting terrorists within Ukraine.

Russia has a legit argument for that and taking back some other former Russian states.

Sure as shit better arguments for that than we have for our recent occupations.

Once again, we don't have any room to talk....what the fuck is DJT going to say? Do as I say not as I do!!!

But hey, why let facts get in the way of showing what an utter moron you are.

That doesn't even make sense.....I asked for an opinion and a reason.

Facts aren't getting in the way of anything smart guy.

LOL absolutely HYSTERICAL foaming at the mouth hatred for Trump so severe you can barely even read much less put together a coherent or even on topic response.

And of course in typical "progressive" fashion anyone who doesn't toe that "progressive" line is a moron or any number of other childish names....very mature

 

[Carnal_Flower]

Noted for the record.

If artists express anti-religious views in their artwork, they can be arrested and hauled off to jail in the U.S. for "hate speech," while Neo-Nazi's are protected by the First Amendment when they chant "Jews Go Home" in public spaces.

Russia's Free Speech Laws are exactly like the U.S. free speech laws--Botany Boy.

Hate speech isn't free speech ok??

Sensible restrictions, they are where they should be.
