Discussion: Senate GOPers Mostly Shrug At Donald Trump's Bromance With Vladimir Putin

1 Like

The once proud GOP has cut itself from its moorings and is drifting aimlessly in the lagoon.

The captain insists they’re sailing around the world.

Sure, but that’s “sailing” in the sense of “circling”, and “world” in the sense of “drain”.

Until the press starts laughing out loud at these Republicans, as hard boiled newspapermen did decades ago, this nonsense will continue.

Not ‘Sailing’ in the sense of ‘Cruising’ ?

"I would never rate Putin over one of our presidents. I don’t care who the president is,” Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) said.

Oh, mother of god – we’ve finally found the elusive line that Orrin Hatch won’t cross. Stop the presses!

All of you–Tim Scott, Bob Corker, Ted Cruz, John McCain and the others–you anti-American little shriveled dicks, you! Seriously? – You either have to “check with your press offices,” or think Hillary Clinton put the press up to asking you about Trump’s and Putin’s man-love for each other? Come on, guys – why the hell do you hate America so much?

The “why do they hate America” line would be a classic line in an ad against ALL these fuckers.

When asked his thoughts on what sort of gold-plated airplane stairs Donald Trump thinks the airport will roll up to Air Force One if he’s elected President, former Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney said, “I know, right? Holy shit, what a fucking douche!”

Well, HO is obviously the (supposed) billionaire. Melania is a far more stuck-up, vapid Lovey. There is NO Professor on this island. Reince is … well … perhaps a Gilligan-esque sorta character. Christie is the Skipper (but with absolutely no lovability). There are many “country girls” to fill that particular slot (and maybe they can bake coconut pies … but wouldn’t know how to do much else). I’m not sure there is even a glamorous star on this island either. This is one boring and awful island on which to be shipwrecked.

Now I don’t agree with the Vladimir Putin on anything, but you can’t say the guy is not a leader. The guy is a leader,” he told TPM."

And Hitler was a visionary…

My, we certainly have come a long way from the days of W, when the Republicans told us that if you criticized our President, you were “giving aid and comfort to the terrorists.”

“DUMA, as I understand it, stands for Department of Ultimately Moral Actions. I’m agin’ that!”

“I didn’t see it so it’s hard for me to comment,” said Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).

Our great, self important Media is going to let John McCain get away with this BULL, after John McCain ORIGINATED the GOP theme, spouted on his every Sunday talk show appearance of how WEAK our President is and look at Putin, THAT is STRONG leadership. Where do they think HO got it from? He is incapable of a single original thought. All his talk points come from the Breitbart=GOP-FOX propaganda of the past 7.5 years, from Alex Jones and from Roger Stone. For the Media to give John McCain a walk on this shows what People Magazine lightweights they are. In the Post WW2 media, Andrew Cuomo and Luke Russert would still be getting coffee and sharpening pencils for the real reporters, as would Brzinski.

I didn’t actually see Trump call Senator McCain a loser for being a North Vietnamese POW, so it’s hard for me to comment.
