Trump: “There are a lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. What do you think—our country’s so innocent?”

Donald Trump says Vladimir Putin might kill journalists, but ‘at least he’s a leader’ (2015)

   Very well said. I'll gladly applaud him when he does something good, which I have here, but I will not give him a pass when he does or says something stupid. His noticeable admiration of Putin makes me very uncomfortable as it is, but bringing up the moral relativism argument is appauling.

But Putin is defending Christianity..

A) You partner with us to wipe ISIL off the map, then
B) we look the other way in your need to control Ukraine, Georgia and the Black Sea trade routes

Yep, cronyism on a geopolitical scale. Disturbing as hell.

I don't call putting a serious dent in radical Islamic Jihad anything minor.

Admitting your adversary is ruthless is one thing.  Admitting that you're capable of that and much worse?   Priceless!

DT also praised NK leader for being willing to kill his own relatives.
Waiting for the trumpkins to spin this insanity into 'it's only a joke' or something equally insipid.

Well, if I had $10 BILLION....I'm sure that there would be some relatives that needed killing.   

[Victoria33]

He equates the U.S. with a murdering KGB thug's regime.  This is why I will never be in this moron's corner.  When he accomplishes something decent, like the Gorsuch appointment, he does so in spite of himself.  He always reverts to being Trump.

As you know, I think Trump has a mental disorder which affects every decision he makes.  I have two comments to add to that:

1.  A few days ago, a psychologist made a statement about his behavior that I had not detected.  When something good happens to/for him, he attacks someone/organisation/country leader, immediately after the good thing happens.  Remember this when the next positive thing happens to/for him, and see if he immediately starts attack tweeting or signing an executive order against something.  I won't go into what this behavior means in his mind, as it would take too much space here.

2. Putin is smart - I think he has one or more psychologists evaluating Trump's behavior and counseling him on how to handle Trump to get what he wants, keep Trump off his back, appease Trump, so he (Putin) can carry out what he wants to do now and in the future.  Trump has a "hero" complex about Putin and wants to be like him, have that much power, so Putin will use Trump's mindset, following the advice of his psychologists, to manipulate Trump.  Putin knows who Putin is, but Trump does not know who Trump is (his mind is in flux all the time) - advantage Putin.

To make matters worse are other republicans joining the simpleton in his love of violence against citizens for political gain.

Kent State University responds to Michigan GOP official's tweets, Facebook posts

A Michigan Republican Party operative is facing backlash this weekend after he suggested on social media that another Kent State might be a solution to ongoing protests around the country.

Dan Adamini, the Marquette County GOP secretary, made similar posts on both Facebook and Twitter.

One read ""Violent protesters who shut down free speech? Time for another Kent State perhaps. One bullet stops a lot of thuggery, "

I heard the soundbite yesterday and I thought it so Obama like.

Obama to world: tell us when we should bend over for you.

Trump to world: that was yesterday. Now start remembering how WWII ended.

It is.. I better hope Rush of other talk show hosts doesn't defend this.. If they do, they will not have any credibility.. None zero..

@kevindavis

What do you bet Hannity will find a way to  minimize it? 

[Silver Pines]

We were told that they would keep Trump in line but as all realistic people predicted, keeping him in line meant justifying anything he does without question.

@Cripplecreek

"Holding his feet to the fire" = "No, this is what he REALLY meant ".

I think Steve Deace describes Trump's behavior well...he calls it "polishing Putin's testicles."  Donald

We won cause we went after the enemy.. Also we told the Germans that we went after the Nazi's.  Also we are not going to drop a lot of nukes in the Middle East..

Now watch.  Most Republicans and conservatives will dislike this, but they'll stay quiet.  If Obama had said it, they would (rightfully) scream to heaven.  That will be proof that it's all about party/tribe/personality instead of country.

He does such a good job of picking cabinet members and a Supreme Court nominee and then immediately goes out and does and says things which make it more difficult go get them confirmed. That should have been his first priority. If he screws up the SCOTUS confirmation, he screws up the main argument given for voting for him.
