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.

ITT an adult human being repeatedly calls the leader of Russia "Pooty," then insults everyone else for whatever.

If I'd not seen this remark and it turned up to be a q on a 'Who said it? Trump or Morbs?' quiz, I would have to admit defeat.

Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 9 September 2016 16:15 (seven years ago) link

why were you giving me shit about saying Putin *had been* a communist, then? are you mindmelding with batshit Mordy? xp

I guess it goes back to that Greenwald article you linked complaining about the Dems + history of red-baiting/smearing leftists, which was p incoherent and relied on placing pro-Putin comments in the present with historical communist associations/red-baiting smears. I get that you understand that a) Putin is primarily an opportunist and not currently a communist and that b) you are angry that the Dems using support of Putin as a cudgel to beat their opponents with. Begs the question of whether you think American politicians being cozy with Putin is cool or not, or if you don't think it's legitimate that Dems should be complaining about the rather overt Russian meddling in the election. Seems more likely that all of that is just subsumed beneath blind rage towards Hillary.

The awesome thing about Trump on RT is clearly that his campaign claimed he was tricked into doing it.
