Bernie Sanders says Trump's praise for 'Putin's murderous invasion of Ukraine' is 'outrageous'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday denounced former President Donald Trump for speaking highly of Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression against Ukraine.

"It is outrageous, if unsurprising, that Trump would praise Putin's murderous invasion of Ukraine as an act of 'genius,'" the independent senator from Vermont tweeted. "It should concern us all that Putin is exactly the kind of leader Trump would like to be, and that so few Republicans have the courage to say this out loud."

Putin on Tuesday declared two Ukrainian breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent, which Trump at the time called "genius" and "savvy."

"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. Oh, that's wonderful," Trump said during a podcast interview. "I said, 'How smart is that?' And he's going to go in and be a peacekeeper."

1. Go Bernie...if anything, we need demonstrations here to support Bernie's statement

The orange mass needs to be ignored, told to shut up and sit down!!

3. It's a shame he's not in a fucking jail cell

instead of all over media.

5. No, we need demonstrators here to support Ukraine

That may include support for Bernie's statement, but by no means limit our support for Ukraine to Bernie's statement.

2. When Russian state tv

is playing clips of MF45 tongue-bathing Putin, why isn't that considered "giving aid and comfort" to the enemy?

Same goes for Fucker Carlson and every other rightwinger that's now a Putin fanboy.

6. Imagine what would have happened if any Democrat had praised Saddam Hussein....

The fucking Republicans and the MSM treated anti Iraq war protestors the same as "supporting" Saddam, and these fuckers lick Putin's nether regions and get away with it.

4. When the election gets near...

We’re going to roll that clip.

7. I have my doubts....

The people in charge of Democratic campaign ads don't seem to know what the fuck they are doing. It's been that way for several cycles now.

10. sigh

It's been that way for some time now.

11. Yup

I remember seeing an YouTube video for Angie Craig in 2020 that looked like it was produced by the local high school AV club. The audio was so bad that I had to turn up the volume to hear what was being said.

12. They have no stomach for it,and I'm sick of it.

Get it right and win the message or climb into your hole

8. And I still wonder what undue influence Russia has on tRump? Did Russia catch this idiot in

bed w/ an underage girl, an underage boy, etc.?

IMHO, 14th amendment should be done against all of the Senate traitors that refused to impeach tRump. Of course, by then, impeaching the moron would be too late but I want to ensure that this moron can never ever run for public office again in this Country, thus causing more harm to this Country of ours.

9. he's a witting and willing co-conspirator

Trump desires to be just like Putin.

He wants to be one of the big bad despots.

He's brought chaos, death and misery to the American people.

He would allow Putin to take Alaska, right before our eyes.

Look who he admires most, and what he says about despotic acts.
