Discussion: Trump Defends Congratulating Putin: 'Getting Along ... Is A Good Thing'

But Trump doesn’t read the PDB, he has somebody else paraphrase it to him, so the ALL CAPS wouldn’t have come through unless the reader shouted it.

What I find appalling is that nobody in the Big League media has yet said that chemical weapons are WMD, hence what Putin did was OK if not conceive of a WMD attack on the soil of a NATO ally that has that “special relationship” with the US. If Denmark provided us AWACS coverage for 9/11, then we are obliged to provide the UK with something for this.

@blandsten Hey, I was a coriate once, but after extensive treatment, now I’m an ex-coriate.

Since he barely reads, maybe his staff should start using emojis to flag key instructions - with a noose, :face_vomiting: or :nauseated_face: next to anything about Putin.

These 2nd Amendment heros are also a danger to themselves.

A month ago, Scientific American published an article about a study of accidental shootings during the NRA National Convention compared to the rest of the year. During the convention (where guns are banned) accidental shootings drop an average of 20%

Trump sanctioned Venezuelan officials for election fraud… But gave Putin a high five for doing it…

“As the Venezuelan government continues to disregard the will of its people, our message remains clear: The United States will not stand aside while the Maduro regime continues to destroy democratic order and prosperity in Venezuela,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a press release.

NATO. Article 5. Collective Defense.

I remember, when …

Yes, getting along with people that you need to work with is a good thing. Why don’t you try that with Congress, the Senate, Democrats, our allies in Europe, Mexico, Canada, Australia or anyone else on the planet?

Why is it only dictators you like to get along with?

…They can help solve problems with North Korea, Syria, Ukraine, ISIS, Iran and even the coming Arms Race.

1). North Korea: Russia has been laying footsie with North Korea supplying technology which has advanced their nuclear program and allowing them to sell stuff to Syria.

2). Russia props up Assad.

3). Ukraine. Russia most probably corrupted Ukraine’s election via Manafort and invaded after the Ukrainians revolted.

4). Putin is an even better recruiting poster for ISIS than Trump.

5). Just how much help does Trump actually want with Iran?

6). Yep. Bet is going to be real hard for Russia to control its urge start and Arms race.

And here’s our President: won’t it be great if Putin stops hitting us.

Some help.

Yes, Obama congratulated Putin in 2012. At that time, we could still do business with Putin. By late 2013, it was obvious that things were changing. The attack on Crimea in early 2014 immediately put everything on a different footing. Finding out that the Ukrainian president (the guy Manafort was working for) had become a Russian stooge did not improve matters. Somebody could write a lengthy article on the changes in Russia from 2012 to early 2015. Another issue was Putin’s growing interest in pursuing even more oil wealth while ignoring global warming.

Throughout my entire life the President was known as “leader of the free word”…obviously this is no longer the case…

So why can’t Trump get along with anyone besides his Russian banker and blackmailer?
