Putin's the best, obvi, only Democrats think he's a marauding dictatorial imperialist

the dick nixon twitter is only funny in small doses in particular cases. when he's talking about sports and shit: who cares? I don't actually think dick nixon would be saying those things.

akm, Thursday, 8 September 2016 22:21 (seven years ago) link

am I wrong in thinking that Morbz posts these not because he thinks they're funny but because he thinks they're accurate...?

Οὖτις, Thursday, 8 September 2016 22:24 (seven years ago) link

they're just so banal. they're not funny and they aren't interesting. it's like every morbz post except he didn't even bother to write it himself.

Mordy, Thursday, 8 September 2016 22:25 (seven years ago) link

they certainly aren't as funny as actual dick nixon quotes

someone showed me one of the hillary 'spasm' videos today and it was clearly her doing a faux-surprised/overwhelmed joke bc all the reporters to her right started talking to her at once u have to be pretty dumb, socially inept, or really really want to believe to watch it and think it's a medical issue. the journalists are even laughing!

Lol, Trump is claiming he did an interview with Larry King on RT only because King tricked him into it.

Frederik B, Friday, 9 September 2016 11:18 (seven years ago) link

With the Putin stuff, Trump&co are just trying to signal that they like pure strength in service of national greatness. It is primarily presented as a cudgel with which to beat up on apologizer-in-chief Obama.

Trump jr and Trump and Pence and Steve King are coming out and saying exactly this: look, what we mean is that Putin kicks ass at pursuing his nation's interests (whatever those may be). Unfortunately we just keep electing pussies. Let's stop electing pussies who don't aggressively pursue the national interest above all else.

Hence, what we need is a pseudo-Putin of our own. Someone who won't be an apologizing, equivocating, nuanced pussy. Someone who'll kill 'em all and let god sort them out later. Someone who will unapologetically kick the ass of our nation's enemies, and make the rubble bounce. Guy named Trump seems to fit the bill.

People objecting "hey Putin is a fucking villain" are, to an extent, missing the point. Trump supporters want a fucking villain who is acting on their behalf.

I think that the "dot goy" thing was, like major major major's promotion, the act of a sarcastic computer (as in, it was an odd scanning error).

x-post: No the email seems true. Clinton was going to the UN that day in 2009, where earpieces are useful to hear the translators. Of course, wikileaks, being a conspiracy organization run by an egomaniac rapist, left out that part.

Frederik B, Friday, 9 September 2016 14:32 (seven years ago) link

apparently that senescent crook Charlie Rangel has no idea what Pooty is

Mingling outside the Capitol on a broiling day, the Senate Democratic leader, Harry Reid, and Representative Charles B. Rangel of New York, two of the longest-serving and bluntest-speaking members of Congress, found themselves uncharacteristically at a loss for words.

“If Rangel or Reid had said that, 15 years ago or five years ago, we would be through,” Mr. Reid said of Mr. Trump’s Putin praise. “Can you imagine somebody running for president who has acknowledged publicly that he likes Putin better than Obama? How about that one?”

Mr. Rangel interjected: “A communist leader that’s a potential enemy!”

he was a KGB officer in the '70s and '80s, dipshit. I'm sure Pooty has only ever "believed" in whatever kept his gangsterish pockets full, but he's had to be flexible as empires crumbled and rose.

I'm sure Morbius has only ever "believed" in whatever reflected worst on Clinton at the moment, but he's had to be flexible as her various opponents crumbled and rose
