Trump Congratulated Putin?

Had to laugh at this one; it's so true.



Wonder if during [i]Take Me Out to the Ballgame[/i] Obama sang, "Let us root, root, root for the home team..."

Looks like Erdogan to me.

Not Rouhani, but the foreign minister

And, of course, Obama went to Havana and met with Raul Castro and took in a ballgame with him (not Fidel, who was by that time quite ill).

I actually don't think any of the meetings was that big a deal.

It's just the hypocrisy of those criticizing Trump for the congrats call to Putin that it silly.

@beckyromero You're an idiot...Trump congratulated Putin after he was elected in a rigged election...He has his political opponents murdered or imprisoned...What are you missing?

@LvChris [quote]In which of those meetings did he congratulate those men?[/quote]

You're missing the point. It's the symbolism that matters or so people say.

Obama took the time to go meet with those men (Erdogan, Iran's foreign minister and Raul Castro). Trump made a couple minute phone call.

Oh, I guess the Castro brothers never murdered or imprisoned anyone. 🙄

Please try harder to not make yourself look like such a fool (or so badly misinformed, at best). It's embarrassing, you know. Sad in a way, actually.

Have any of these jokers provided any evidence thst Putin has murdered anyone? Stalin sure. Putin? @beckyromero

@jackjjackson You think he did it by his own hand? Of course not...Do you think the polonium that was used on the Russian in London gor in him accidentally?
HerKing · 61-69, M
@jackjjackson Or the politicians murdered and 'accidentally' falling out of the balconies of their apartments?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
So the answer would be no then. Why are you harrassing Ms Romero for innocently pointing out an accurate point? @HerKing
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
It appears that Ms Romero was pointing out hypocrisy. Perhaps she should do a thread regarding you on that topic? @HerKing
HerKing · 61-69, M
@jackjjackson If you want to use that logic, neither did Stalin or Hitler, or Alexander the Great..

@jackjjackson Very gracious and noble to be the white knight!!! Such a fetching resemblance to the Duke of kent too.

Nice you’re writing about your hypocrisy yourself lol. @HerKing

Yes, that was the whole point.

Not that Putin is a saint. He's probably the most dangerous person in power to emerge in Russia in a long time.

It's just that I see no reason to any more criticize Trump for making that phone call than for Obama meeting with Erdogan, Mohammad Javad Zarif or Raul Castro.

Very apropos similar situations. @beckyromero

As I said, not complaining about Obama for the handshakes. (There are plenty of things I [b]can[/b] complain about him, but not this.)

It's the hypocrisy I'm talking about from my party and the talking heads in the media.

(I also haven't heard or seen anything to indicate that Obama criticized Trump for calling Putin.)
