Putin expresses sympathy for the Donald

Without mentioning Donald Trump by name, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed indirect support for his presidential campaign on the basis of Trump's stated desire for amicable U.S. relations with Russian.

"We are carefully watching what is happening in the United States and we, of course, view with sympathy those who publicly state that it is necessary to build a relationship with Russia, on basis of equality," Putin said in an interview broadcast on Russian television, according to the AFP.

Throughout his campaign, Trump has said that it would be better for the U.S. to have normalized relations with Russia, a marked departure from typical Republican thinking and out-of-step with the Obama administration's response to Russia's military involvement in Crimea and elsewhere in Ukraine.

Are we quoting The DailyKos now? Is that where TBR is now, on the political spectrum. When TBR gets a linked-sites list going, i would not be surprised to find that the first link is to DU.

I really get the impression that this site is taking an extreme Left turn. That is all fine. I am not saying that it is a good or a bad thing. I am only saying that I didn't expect it.

It took a left turn when the Trumpkins pulled out their poms and got this orange-haired ignoramus nominated.  Trump has been a liberal his entire life and he's reverting to it with his policies.

@sinkspur we have known each other for a while and I really have to say that you fascinate me. I have grown to respect your tenacity even though I disagree with almost everything you say.

But, i do have a question. These standard responses you always give, like the one you sent just now, do you have those on a dropdown menu, i.e., Resonse #43, or do you pull them from a database?

Is Trump unfit? If only we had a sign…

*Praises Putin*
*Asks Russia to hack Clinton*
*Parrots Kremlin line on Russian TV*

Any sign at all…

Very impressive response. You know, the thing that makes it such a good response is the originality. No one has ever thought to do that before.

I think we both may have imbibed a wee bit too much of the monster from time to time. But if that was a question, the answer would be not today my brother.

Do you have a response to the fact that Trump is a lifelong liberal and, with things like his new childcare entitlement, is reverting to his liberal roots?

You rarely discuss policy and have been reduced lately to slinging ad hominems.  Or is there nothing you can say to the objections we have to Trump?

Nope. I cannot. You win sink. I give up and want to be on your side now. Your in depth arguments have changed my mind and convinced me that Trump is a Liberal. Ok. Got it! Alright...now what? Is that all there is to it?

Voting for the GOP ticket over the last few decade has made me very used to voting for Liberals. I voted McCain, I voted Bush, I voted Romney, all were Liberals. Now I am voting Trump. I just can't see the difference.

Then you shouldn't vote.

Netanyahu has been to Moscow 3 times in the last year, Putin to Israel 1 time.

Previous Israeli PMs got along with Putin.

Bush got along with Putin.

But now things are different.

You say potato, I say irresponsible petty wannabe dictator.
Things are different.  Russia just invaded the Ukraine.  Netanyahu and Bush were elected officials.

So you're saying Trump has a lot in common with the average rat.  We agree.
