Said things I agree with. Yes, I was sitting down when I read them. Much more at article.

snip...You know what? Putin's fine. He's fine. We're all fine. We're people."

This is a dangerously naive view of the Russian president. First of all, the US intelligence community has unanimously said that Russia actively meddled in the 2016 election. Under Putin, Russia invaded the Ukraine and annexed the Crimean peninsula. Then there's the fact that people critical of Putin -- including journalists -- keep winding up murdered under very suspicious circumstances. These are not the actions of a "fine" person.



Putin is/was a KGB agent
How is the test of the media not on this?

1. If there is no proof,

some in the media have no ink for their pens and no moral compass to filter the BS.

2. Senate intelligence Committee actually stated that Putin personally interfered

on behalf on 🍊. Are we only listening to the senate when they pass bad laws/confirm batshit judges but not when they establish facts? Why isn't anyone in out "civilizing' media highlight the dissonance between those two statements?

3. Did you mean your reply to go to the Chris Cillizza thread? Thx👋

4. Why do they always use that word "meddle"

when they committed acts of cyber war. They rigged the election and probably changed vote tallies.

5. It's very telling when Trump says someone is fine.

6. Edited due to misreading. Agree it is a dangerously

misleading view.

But recognizing a poisonous snake doesn't make Cilizza someone we should trust, and I want to underline that for those not familiar with him. He's is a conservative player posing as an analyst. His job is to quickly spin the information they turn up so that it does not hurt the Republican Party and their kleptocrat funders and does hurt the Democratic Party.

7. I was speaking specifically as to Cillizzas' awareness of trumps approval of a KGB agent.

I haven't seen much commentary, today about the pro KGB statement from trumps rally last night.
Okay?

8. Sorry, IrisBlue. I couldn't pull up the link and

leaped to an assumption I shouldn't have. Agree! I just hate seeing all these conservative players at CNN.

After seeing what's happened over the past two years I don't for a moment believe former CNN CEO Jeff Zucker (now president of CNN Worldwide) created Trump the national figure, devloted millions of dollars of CNN air time to his campaign, used CNN to trash the Democratic Party, and stuffed CNN with conservative heads just for profit as he claims.

Makes me a little crazy.

9. Thanks for letting me know the 1st link wasn't good.

The 11 most dangerous things Donald Trump said in his Montana speech

I had to go to google to pull up the article again. If you tap on the link, the story will open up.


I really dislike Cillizza, he annoys me only slightly less then Joey Scar does.

10. I'm afraid I also completely agree with Cillizza's theme

that Trump's messages are potentially very dangerous for our nation. He should have taken this approach a long time ago, but nice to know he has now.

Just happened to remind me of the scene in the movie Cabaret where a mob of Nazi commoners worked up into a nationalistic version of Trump-rally passion doesn't alarm a German aristocrat, who still thinks his class can control and benefit from it.

Thanks for the post. Danger signs seem to be popping up daily now.

11. Yep..Hitler loved his dog & had a girlfriend

he must have been "fine" too
