"It's like we have a FReeper in the White House!"

"I think we do!"

And yet the thread can't be found in the front page sidebars.


There are a few detractors I see there. And I'm sure there are many more who cannot say on there what they  truly think.

"Make America Great Again" means we are no better than Russia? Is this the apology tour Part Deux?

I like this one as well:


I doubt that and I sure don’t give a rats ass what you think. He stepped in it, which seems to be a habit of his when he goes one on one with O’Reily. He’s the President of the Unites States and he’s bigger than that.

Yep, I agree.  One guy is taking it from all sides.

Oh, yes, because it's so refreshing to have someone who will finally tell the truth.  Unquote.

So we are no better than Putin's Russia?

O’Reilly: “Putin’s a killer”

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

Lenhart: "Well, He's not wrong."

You: "So we are no better than Putin's Russia?"

Someone needs to que up the kids song "One of these things is not like the other." Because I don't know how denying reality gets one to being Russias equal.

Perhaps some special snowflake would like to explain to me how the hundreds of murders already in Chicago, to say nothing of Detroit, Memphis and NY/LA arent really done by 'killers'. Or how the actions of the Klan, John Wilkes Booth/Lee Harvey Oswald, the CIA with projects like Tuskeege/MK Ultra and all the mysterious deaths surrounding Bill and Hillary clinton...along with those surrounding/leading up to the election of Barak Obama (anyone seen that gay church buddy of his lately?)

I am FAR from Trump's biggest fan. But it is absurd for people to deny the truth. And the truth is that we have discussed all the above on this very site on many, many occasions. Especially when the pearl clutchers have themselves took part in those conversations.

So until someone wants to post something where Trump actually comes out and says something that even hints at moral equivalence to Russia, perhaps some people should spend that time deciding if they are more interested in dealing with the facts of history or finding reasons to oppose the guy that don't hold a lot of water.

There are a couple other points that should be noted. The United States not only partnered with Russia, but it did so when Russia was at it's worst. WHY we did does not matter and arguing it is in fact arguing FOR moral equivalence. We did. Right or wrong. End of.

And secondly, All of you may note that all the death, destruction and carnage from all of the above was carried out by one group of people. Leftists. Whether smug little gang bangers screaming about black supremacy in 'Da' Hood' or FDR and his fine feathered libs in DC. I bring that up for one reason. Because they are all people that do not deal in realities. They create fantasy worlds where their version of the truth is the only one that matters.

Just sayin'.

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.

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.

I know others have said this before, but  :amen: !!

The more I hear from him, the more I believe the good things he will accomplish are in spite of himself, and random.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Even Hitler did some good and even great things but at the end of the day he was still Hitler.

Trump has a long well documented history of praising governments and dictators who murder their own citizens. Any equivelence is on the shoulders of those who voted for Trump knowing full well that he values the power and force of government over all else.

Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.

The good things he accomplished he does because he listens to pence and his cabinet secretaries imo. When he's on his own he's a total disaster.

Remember that Trump does not believe in American Exceptionalism, said so before he ran for President.

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.

Then he can blame others.

I'm betting that the couple of decent cabinet picks will be gone inside of a year.

because Trump needs to call off his death squads?

Oh wait, aren't we talking about government murders?

Maybe Trump plans on becoming the next Putin or Duterte and we should all cheer that?

Not sure what any of that has to do with what I posted. Is there something, ANYTHING factually incorrect about what I posted? The US of A has killers in it. Political and otherwise. It sucks but it's factual history. We all want to be better than we are and we have been. Thats why we are American. But history is what it is. It does not make us evil to acknowledge that we are not the perfect being. We may be, and are, better than the rest, but we still have bad parts. It is not wrong or 'UnAmerican" to admit it. It is wrong -and- UnAmerican to lie about being something we are not.

What Death squads? Trump has death squads? Since he obviously can't call off any death squad Putin has I'm not sure what you mean here.

@JohnKasich  2h2 hours ago America has been a beacon of light and freedom. There is no equivalence with the brutal regime of Vladimir Putin.

Mike Pence was interviewed on "Face The Nation" this morning.  In response to being asked if the United States is a morally superior country to Russia, he deflected and bloviated and refused to answer the question with a yes or no.  Finally it was dragged out of him, but he would only say that he thought American values were superior to many countries.

Wouldn't mention Russia, though.

Thats one of the reasons I opposed Pence. He's spineless. Always was, always will be.
