Not much response from TBS Trump supporters, either. IMO, that silence is thunderous.

Ever notice how the Trumpets fail to join in on these "tough" threads?

By November they will be exhausted defending this fool.

No, I am saying I do not understand why anyone would have fondness for Putin.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Actually, the headline is correct. Trump is the one tongue-bathing Putin.
