Wait, I'm confused again.

[MannyGoldstein]

If President Obama accepts an offer from Putin like Edward Snowden did, does that make him a Rand Paul disciple? Or does he crave shirtless pictures of Putin?

These things are difficult for me to follow, the world moves so quickly these days!

[Nuclear Unicorn]

1. ow.

I felt that one all the way over here.

[KittyWampus]

43. you mean the stupidity? Is Obama a spy who impersonated others with higher rank to steal

classified information?

[OnyxCollie]

2. Boxing pole dancers in every garage! Huzzah!

[rpannier]

57. Amen to that

Considering my interests I'd take male or female or both

[Pretzel_Warrior]

3. Conflation is a fun indoor sport

[MannyGoldstein]

11. Wait. What? Nobody told me there was

a conflatable Putin love doll. Where can I purchase mine?

I have put money aside for this.

[merrily]

37. They sell them in the UN visitors' gift shop.

I thought everyone knew?

[PoliticAverse]

61. You can get them on ebay, but I suspect they're chinese knockoffs of the real ones... n/t

[AgingAmerican]

38. If Obama praises Putin...

Will you deride him as a 'Putin worshiper' then send him a conflatible shirtless pootie doll?

[JaneyVee]

91. The Obama haters has a sad.

[forestpath]

4. Snort!

[RobertEarl]

5. Only to some on DU

There is a very loose policy on DU. As long as you don't make too big a scene you can be a total ass no matter how much salt has to be applied.

And as long as you kiss establishment ass one can be an ass that fights pretzels and keep posting here.

As for me, two men getting along and working out problems too the benefit of us peons, is always a welcome sight.

[scarletwoman]

6. Here, this will straighten you out.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3633301

Resistance is futile.

[leftstreet]

8. snort

[Autumn]

12. It sure as hell fixed me. I swooned over Putin and gracefully accepted it.

[MannyGoldstein]

14. Thank God that was gender neutral

So there is still hope that I can be Putin's special comrade?

[scarletwoman]

20. Get in line, Manny.

In the meantime, you can curry the horse.

[MannyGoldstein]

21. What the heck is currying a

on second thought, probably best I don't know.

[PoliticAverse]

62. I hear once you've curried favor with a horse you never go back...

Or was that curried flavor with horse. I forget.

[zeemike]

27. Now we all need a cold shower.

Well some do anyway.

[Starry Messenger]

32. *cries*

*passes the hat for therapy payments*

[whatchamacallit]

81. Bravo! My bodice ripped

and I'm a guy.

[QC]

93. That certainly straightened me out

if you get my drift.

[ProSense]

7. Wait

"If President Obama accepts an offer from Putin like Edward Snowden did, does that make him a Rand Paul disciple? Or does he crave shirtless pictures of Putin?

These things are difficult for me to follow, the world moves so quickly these days!"

...is President Obama stuck in Russia?

Putin Calls Snowden A ‘Strange Guy’ Who’s In For A ‘Difficult Life’
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023593865

[mindwalker_i]

33. So, accepting an offer from Putin

makes somebody a Rand Paul disciple, but only if they accept the deal while in Russia?

Is this anything like the special Tuesday rules in Fizbin?

[progressoid]

51. +1

[merrily]

40. So, Putin finds him strange. Big deal. What is your point?

[kiva]

9. I'm pretty sure that means he

wants to play 12 dimensional chess with Assad while Snowden and Putin watch - I don't see Paul as having a role in this particular scenario.

[Change has come]

10. We might have to wait until Wednesday for these talking points.

Not to mention the pom-poms need to be fluffed.

[Recursion]

13. Yeah, you seem to be...

These things are difficult for me to follow, the world moves so quickly these days!

I know what you mean. Apparently using diplomacy is a sign of weakness now, too.

[MannyGoldstein]

17. It still is?

This afternoon's missive told me that had changed.

Sounds like a fuckup at HQ.

[MNBrewer]

15. Now, now, just drink some of the koolaid and everything will start to make sense.

[BuelahWitch]

16. You're a baaaaaaaaad boy!

[Liberal Veteran]

18. Did President Obama petition for asylum while he was visiting?

If so, how did the press not pick up on that?

Note: I understand you are being facetious, but I'm fairly certain that each issue can be argued on its own merits. I've stayed out of these discussions for the most part, but it seems scoring points on one another has become more important than the actual issues.

[LooseWilly]

19. Maybe it means he craves pictures of a shirtless Rand Paul?

... a disciple of Putin, junior to Snowden (lower pay grade, don't you know?)

Either way, it means he doesn't really understand what Obama is trying to do... which makes him a little schizophrenic I suppose... or a flip-flopper... or...

[BobbyBoring]

22. Try to keep up Manny

You figured out the third way thinggy, this should be childs' play for you!

[Half-Century Man]

23. Between Putin, Paul, and Snowden....

...I think Snowden would look best shirtless.

But if we add Obama to the mix......A shirtless calender, One guy per season.
Paul in Spring, cause his hair looks like new growth from old soil.
Obama for Summer, the bronzed look.
Putin for Autumn, colorful, a little cold, and a reminder of times past.
Snowden for Winter, the pale white skin of the cyber-community (stereotype, I know. I'm stretching to make this work)

[Autumn]

24. So you are giving Putin to me???

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3633301

[Half-Century Man]

60. Technically...

...I'm giving shirtless Putin to the world.

That sound dirty when you say it out loud.

[NuclearDem]

25. Throw in Assad and maybe Greenwald and we can get a real hunk-of-the-month going!

[notadmblnd]

58. I don't care what you say, at their age (with Snowden excluded) all their moobs will be sagging

Leave your shirts on fellas, it ain't purdy any more

[Uncle Joe]

26. Obama and Putin have much in common.

Thanks for the thread, MannyGoldstein.

[NuclearDem]

29. Oh dear!

Keep this up and the G20 won't be the only summit these men are responsible for

[1StrongBlackMan]

28. Yes, you are confused. n/t

[baldguy]

30. Is Obama fixing to destroy America like Putin, Paul & Snowden are?

And how can people who claim to be Democrats show so much hatred for a Democratic President?

[MannyGoldstein]

31. Do you think that Snowden hates our freedoms?

Does Obama stand with Putin, or does he stand with the leader of the Democratic Party?



God, my brain hurts.

[baldguy]

46. Like every RW libertarian, Snowden has no clue what freedom is or how to protect it.

I don't believe Obama has that problem.

[Fuddnik]

41. Duh, he gives us reason?

Just a wild guess.

I would never in my life vote for a Republican, but they're also breeding a new variation of "Democrat" that I would never vote for. If Elizabeth Warren is not our next nominee, I won't bother to vote at all. No, I'll change that. I'd vote for a Russ Feingold too. But, no mor DLC, Third-Way, New Dems.

And I've met Obama, one-on-one, face to face. Didn't like him then. Like him even less now.

[merrily]

47. He is a New Democrat President.

ETA link: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/19862.html

[treestar]

56. It's so incredibly consistent

This idea that a Democratic President deserves nothing but scorn. From Democrats. Very strange.

[leftynyc]

73. Ignore them

Being wrong has turned them into whiny, cranky creatures. That's why they're trying to deflect away from their being so very, very wrong (again).

[Fuddnik]

34. Awww Manny, you're always confused.

Just swear obedience and blind devotion to Dear Leader and you shall be saved and enlightened.

Kind of like joining Scientology.

And if you desire, we can send you thousands of blue links to assist in your rehabilitation.

Big Brother really does love and care about you.

[jsr]

36. Please follow this advice, Manny

Only believe, and you shall be saved.

[dionysus]

35. this isn't up to your usual standard, manny, try harder.

[Fuddnik]

42. And this is lower than yours.

Which is pretty low to begin with.

[dionysus]

49. your rapier wit has cut me to the quick i tell you!

[leftynyc]

75. Awww - want a binky?

Being wrong has sure turned a bunch of folks into a group resembling 4 year olds having a temper tantrum. The whining is hilarious.

[MannyGoldstein]

59. That's the nicest thing you've ever written to me

Progress!

[KittyWampus]

44. It seems to me, Putin accepted the offer from Kerry. But you don't seem to pay much attention

to reality. So you can be excused for not getting details correct.

[totodeinhere]

55. No it's you who isn't paying attention. Even Obama himself is calling it putin's proposal.

http://swampland.time.com/2013/09/09/in-media-blitz-obama-says-russian-proposal-could-avert-syria-strike/#ixzz2eSKrxiks

In Media Blitz, Obama Says Russian Proposal Could Avert Syria Strike

In an interview with PBS NewsHour’s Gwen Ifill, Obama added that Russian President Vladimir Putin raised the chemical weapons proposal in their discussion at the G20 Summit last Friday in St. Petersburg. “I did have those conversations,” he said.

Obama did not explain why neither he nor his aides chose not to publicly promote Putin’s idea until today, after Kerry’s remarks.

[MannyGoldstein]

64. Obama never loved our President.

We can't prove it, but everyone just knows it's a racial thing.

[noiretextatique]

71. well...someone posted

that is was Obama's idea, but he's kindly allowing Putin to take credit

[joeybee12]

80. UNrec for the delusional factor...nt

[tjwash]

45. Jeez Manny - you've just been mailing it in lately.

[dionysus]

50. it's not the quality work he's known for lately...

[JI7]

48. a lot of people were looking forward to a War

and are disappointed they can't play the phony outrage bs.

[nolabels]

63. I am outraged of being put through it, what ever it was.

To me, it looked kind like a false flag that was over-wrought, and even in the end, for good measure, they gave it the old college try

[leftynyc]

77. If you find that diplomacy

and deal making is giving you the vapors, perhaps politics is not for you.

[merrily]

52. Sorry you're having trouble keeping up.

It's your framing.

It's not about consistency.

"Whatever is, is good."

Once you accept that fundamental principle, everything makes sense.

Hope this helps.

[Just Saying]

53. It must be crowded in your world

With all those straw men.

[MannyGoldstein]

65. And flammable

Combustible, even, considering the straw dust.

[Just Saying]

86. Smoke em if you got em! N/T

[Cleita]

54. C'mon. He's finally into dealing and negotiating?

Don't mess with the gods.

[TBF]

66. Your problem is that you don't understand multi-galatic chess. nt

[michigandem58]

67. Any twist of logic to keep from being wrong? n/t

[scheming daemons]

69. That's the Manny M.O.

[msanthrope]

83. You Better Believe It. nt

[scheming daemons]

68. Remember that time Obama cut SS benefits?

oh... wait... you were wrong about that too.


Every time Obama proves your latest missives wrong, you go into self-protective sarcasm mode.


Your every prediction about him has proven false....


..... but keep trying. One of these times you'll get lucky and be right about something.

[tridim]

79. It's pathetic to watch.

You're giving him way too much credit, he will never be right about anything.

I have never known anybody who is so consistently wrong. It's almost comical.

[MannyGoldstein]

82. How 'bout you link to some of those predictions?

Or will that screw up your narrative?

[SidDithers]

85. 22%, right Manny...

Sid

[MannyGoldstein]

87. The SS cut recommended by the President's hand-picked commission?

Headed by Messrs. Simpson and Bowles?

Is that what you're referring to? Is that funny for you?

Did I report that incorrectly?

[whatchamacallit]

70. Haha nailed!

Obama Deification Syndrome

[leftynyc]

72. The stupidest OP of the day

Congrats.

[Egalitarian Thug]

74. K&R for your nearly magical ability to really piss off the people most in

need of pissing off. It's almost as if there was some network of watchers waiting for you to post something.

[tridim]

76. You're confused, because you are always wrong Manny. ALWAYS.

Can someone please just put Neo-DU out of it's pathetic misery? It's time.

[MannyGoldstein]

84. Feel free to post to a few links to posts where I've been wrong

Should be a trivial thing to do if things are as you claim.

Or slink off in shame, having demonstrated to DU what you're made of.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

88. It means he loves Pooty Poot -

and gets turned on by his naked nipples. Clearly.

Does this put O under the O Bus now???

[IronLionZion]

89. The modern world is a very confusing place unless you follow the ABC of DU

Always
Be
Complaining


In case you forget, there are many brave revolutionary patriots here who will remind us every moment of every day. Its not OK to be happy or grateful about anything, ever. There is always something wrong. Never forget your ABC.

[avaistheone1]

90. k&r

[Snake Plissken]

92. Putin's one of those guys who you can just look into his eyes and see his soul

He also looks really good in a poncho
