(5,268 posts)He is dismayed by and called out Americans who look more favorably on Putin/KGB than our own intelligence officials (who worked under previous administrations and many are R's)
He pointedly went after the right wing false news and extreme politicization where because he talked about being tough on Putin, the R's automatically started siding with Putin just to be opposed to Obama.
Said how can people be just as critical about Michelle Obama's healthy nutrition initiatives for schoolkids as they are about efforts to silence media (guess he was referring both to Trump and Putin's desire to control/censor press)

I haven't heard him saying anything good about any other president. Putin and Trump will work hard to elect Le Pen and capture France to expand their far right alliance and eventually weaken NATO. Islam is being declared a hostile political ideology which is being stripped from constitutional protections (not subject to freedom of religion principle).

(163 posts)were stationed on the local Standard Station in town at nights, I'm guessing that may have kept the local liquor store in business. Just look at the absurdity of this. In the middle of the nation, trying to watch for enemy planes, with the local airport just a quarter mile east of town. Wonder if they were paid, or why else would they do this.

They heard Donnie say nice things about Putin and that's good enough for them.
