I listened to the interview before commenting. I still think it's as simple as that.Halifax2TheMax said:
Sorry, it’s not as simple as that. When a transcript is provided, you’ll see how hard Hannity tries to get him to say or agree that Putin on the ritz is evil or responsible for vast amounts of human suffering in Ukraine and POOTWH can’t utter a bad word about him. That’s not admiration nor admirable, particularly when 90% of ‘Muricans think Putin on the ritz is the enemy. There’s more to it than admiration of dictators.HughFreakingDillon said:
he just admires dictators. I think it's as simple as that.Halifax2TheMax said:
The full interview makes it pretty obvious there's Kompromat on POOTWH. Otherwise, how does anyone explain his pathetic answers?JB16057 said:
Don't worry, the PTAPE will come out when Trump gets indicted. Merrick Garland has your back!Halifax2TheMax said:Sure, there’s no PTAPE.Donald Trump Jr. this week offered his father an out when it came to the elder Trump’s increasingly unseemly recent and past praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin: His dad was just “playing” Putin! Fair enough. So the jig is up. Now, with Putin invading Ukraine and becoming a pariah on the world stage, would seem to be the time for Donald Trump Sr. to say what he really thinks. Putin, after all, now knows it was just a ruse all along.
The former president apparently didn’t get the memo.
During a lengthy interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Thursday night, Hannity played a role he has become exceedingly familiar with: Trying to coach Trump through saying the right thing. In this case, the thing was that Putin is “evil” or an “enemy.” Ninety percent of Americans, after all, dislike Putin in a new poll — and 86 percent view him “very unfavorably.” So it’s kind of a slam-dunk, politically. And it would sure help Trump’s fellow Republicans, who have strained to assure they view Putin as evil, even if Trump hasn’t.
But Trump, true to form, wouldn’t take the hint. Repeatedly, Hannity tried to elicit Trump into calling Putin evil or something amounting to it. And repeatedly, Trump declined, instead focusing on tangential issues. When he did lament the atrocious scenes in Ukraine, he talked about it merely as something “sad” or regrettable that was happening, rather than attaching it to Putin.

Trump is an idiot. Can you please tell the Democrats to get their shit together and finally produce some evidence that is worth prosecuting to get him off the streets?

no doubt that was a fear, but mainly because of how volatile he can be and the lack of restraint in saying what is on his mind. I mean, he was poking NK over Twitter, for crying out loud.JB16057 said:HughFreakingDillon said:

I don't know but what I do know is that Trump didn't start WW3 like everyone said he would. We now have both Putin and Kim Jong-Un acting out and we are stuck in the middle of it. It's only a matter of time before China does the same and then our situation will only get worse.Make fun of Trump all you want but at least he had open lines of communications with other world leaders. Yes, other world leaders can be dictators but they still need to be given respect because they have nuclear power. Saudi Arabia wouldn't even take Biden's phone call.
I don't believe for one second that putin wouldn't have done this if trump was still in office. it was all about timing, not leadership. he would have had an easier time, I think, had trump been in office. I don't think trump would have lead the way with sanctions and condemnation like biden did. I think that's why putin wanted trump in office in the first place.Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0 -

yes, assumptions based on how he operates. trump wouldn't allow it to happen? what would he have done? nuked the kremlin? called him names on twitter? I'm honestly glad vlad didn't invade when trump was in office. I see it going one of two ways: WW3, or Trump would have let putin do what he wants, NATO country or not.JB16057 said:HughFreakingDillon said:

They’re playing republicans and their voters like a fiddle. No reason to do these things now vs last administration other than what it contributes to undermining our democracy and empowering wannabe fascists.JB16057 said:HughFreakingDillon said:

You are not making any sense. Of course it will be an opinion on whether or not Trump's policies made what Putin is doing easier or not. I am guessing you disagree with the article?

All that I am saying is that opinion pieces are only that. They can include facts but an opinion is still only an opinion. I can post plenty of opinion pieces on why Trump is a better president than Biden but I don't because they are opinions. That's my point. I'm sorry if that doesn't make sense to you.The Juggler said:
You are not making any sense. Of course it will be an opinion on whether or not Trump's policies made what Putin is doing easier or not. I am guessing you disagree with the article?

I know you would and they are a waste of time. That brings up another good point. This message board will only tolerate opinion pieces that they agree with. If I had posted opinion pieces, I would be told that opinion pieces do not matter. I've been tempted to do so many times but id didn't because of that reason.How often do you think opinion pieces get mistaken for factual news?

All that I am saying is that opinion pieces are only that. They can include facts but an opinion is still only an opinion. I can post plenty of opinion pieces on why Trump is a better president than Biden but I don't because they are opinions. That's my point. I'm sorry if that doesn't make sense to you.The Juggler said:
You are not making any sense. Of course it will be an opinion on whether or not Trump's policies made what Putin is doing easier or not. I am guessing you disagree with the article? Now, you realize that is an opinion you are taking...right? If you would like to refute this notion, I would be all ears. But seeing as how you've declined in multiple posts already, I am assuming you are unable to do so.JB16057 said:
I could post opinion pieces all day long but I choose not to because they are ONLY opinions. Sure, they have facts riddled in their but it is not a reliable news source. Opinion pieces are dangerous in that some believe they are all fact based.The Juggler said:
Oh. But your incoherent post is to be taken as fact. hahah. Gotcha!JB16057 said:
Lol. Opinion pieces are not news.The Juggler said:
Lol. Yeah he just made the road to ww3 a whole lot easier for his pal Vlad. NBD hahahaJB16057 said:HughFreakingDillon said:
he just admires dictators. I think it's as simple as that.Halifax2TheMax said:
The full interview makes it pretty obvious there's Kompromat on POOTWH. Otherwise, how does anyone explain his pathetic answers?JB16057 said:
Don't worry, the PTAPE will come out when Trump gets indicted. Merrick Garland has your back!Halifax2TheMax said:Sure, there’s no PTAPE.Donald Trump Jr. this week offered his father an out when it came to the elder Trump’s increasingly unseemly recent and past praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin: His dad was just “playing” Putin! Fair enough. So the jig is up. Now, with Putin invading Ukraine and becoming a pariah on the world stage, would seem to be the time for Donald Trump Sr. to say what he really thinks. Putin, after all, now knows it was just a ruse all along.
The former president apparently didn’t get the memo.
During a lengthy interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Thursday night, Hannity played a role he has become exceedingly familiar with: Trying to coach Trump through saying the right thing. In this case, the thing was that Putin is “evil” or an “enemy.” Ninety percent of Americans, after all, dislike Putin in a new poll — and 86 percent view him “very unfavorably.” So it’s kind of a slam-dunk, politically. And it would sure help Trump’s fellow Republicans, who have strained to assure they view Putin as evil, even if Trump hasn’t.
But Trump, true to form, wouldn’t take the hint. Repeatedly, Hannity tried to elicit Trump into calling Putin evil or something amounting to it. And repeatedly, Trump declined, instead focusing on tangential issues. When he did lament the atrocious scenes in Ukraine, he talked about it merely as something “sad” or regrettable that was happening, rather than attaching it to Putin.
I don't know but what I do know is that Trump didn't start WW3 like everyone said he would. We now have both Putin and Kim Jong-Un acting out and we are stuck in the middle of it. It's only a matter of time before China does the same and then our situation will only get worse.Make fun of Trump all you want but at least he had open lines of communications with other world leaders. Yes, other world leaders can be dictators but they still need to be given respect because they have nuclear power. Saudi Arabia wouldn't even take Biden's phone call.

Also, there are such things as expert opinions. Judging by the author's resume here, I'm thinking she knows more about this subject than you. Could be wrong though! Would love to hear you refute it.Jessica Pisano is an Associate Professor of Politics at The New School for Social Research. She writes and teaches about contemporary and twentieth century politics in Eastern Europe. Her work focuses on the enclosure of public resources, the constitution of material and social power, and political and social processes of dispossession. She asks how shifts in political economy affect people's lives, and how those effects translate into changes in local, national, and global politics. Her research is interdisciplinary, drawing on archival sources as well as a variety of immersion-based methods, including participant-observation research.
Professor Pisano is the author of Staging Democracy: Political Performance in Ukraine, Russia, and Beyond (Cornell University Press, forthcoming 2022) and The Post-Soviet Potemkin Village: Politics and Property Rights in the Black Earth (Cambridge University Press, 2008), which received the Harvard University Davis Center Book Prize in Political and Social Studies in 2009. She is writing a history of property under fascism, state socialism, and neoliberal democracy on a single street in Eastern Europe between 1938 and 2014. Her series of articles on American impeachment and Ukrainian and Russian politics appeared in the online Washington Post.
If you change your mind, let me know. I'd like to have that conversation.www.myspace.com0 -
