Republicanism is not conservative. Republicans are morally challenged human beings. This is their national leader. This is who they will vote for, this is who they support. Virtually none of them has the guts to criticize DJT. Any real conservative would be slamming DJT every day for giving support to Putin. This stuff is being carried on Russian state TV to buck up support for the invasion.
What kind of sick universe is Donald Trump living in? During a Tuesday radio interview with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, Trump had this to say about Russia’s invasion: “I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine—of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent.”
A normal person might condemn Putin’s illegal and immoral invasion and the shameful propaganda that sought to justify it; Trump’s first impulse was to praise how well Putin lied about the bogus pretext.
The next night, Trump continued this ass-kissing, saying: “[Putin is] taking over a country for two dollars’ worth of sanctions. I’d say that’s pretty smart. He’s taking over a country—really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people, and just walking right in.”
… But other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
That’s right, no word about the plight of Ukrainians. No talk of moral courage or standing up against aggression. Just tacit praise for Putin’s power and devious ways.
This post is all about Trump. Please post on the Trump thread.
