Trump to Putin re: Journalists-"Get Rid Of Them"

[kpete]

Trump also bonded with Putin over a scorn for journalists.

“Get rid of them. Fake news is a great term, isn't it? You don’t have this problem in Russia, but we do.”

“We also have,” Putin answered, in English. “It’s the same.”

They shared a chuckle.

24. It seemed logical to me that Putin would know english, given his past history as KGB chief

The use of an interpreter in previous meetings with Trump was just a cover to suggest that he wasn't all that involved with the United States.
Now the dynamic has changed and Americans are being allowed to see that Putin's interest in us is far greater than previously thought.
He must be very confident in his position with Trump.
Of course that position is master Putin and servant Trump.

3. Shithole is "dead"

serious. Having Barr over the DOJ is troubling. The Republican party backing shithole. The RW judges and US SC is troubling.

22. "Troubling" is an interesting word choice.

I might’ve gone with “ignites my hair and causes me to look for an escape route”-or something.

Would he lie?

That picture makes me very angry and sad too.


Putin, With Whom Trump Joked About ‘Fake News,’ Has Seen 26 Journalists Murdered During His Reign

Would Trump joke with Hitler about "the Jewish problem?"

[brewens]

8. Yup. A couple real knee slappers from his buddy Vlad.

Just how would he get rid of journalists? No law can be made abridging the freedom of the press, so he must mean all of them should be assassinated.

[TwilightZone]

9. "You don't have this problem in Russia"

That, in a nutshell, shows how out of touch with reality Trump is.

10. ITMF Now!

This shit has to stop.

[kentuck]

11. How many of these incidents does it take to equal a high crime or misdemeanor?

Are we waiting on murder or armed robbery?

[yaesu]

13. he is, according to our leadership, an unimpeachable president, but

they can still do deals with him, pass legislation, make him look good.

[yaesu]

12. everyone right now should be on the phone with their congressmen and women

asking if they agree with tRump taking sides with putin against the USA.

[bdamomma]

14. oh that picture is disgusting

we have a russian troll or agent as pResident of the US. Sickening. Pompeo and Bolton has to go.

We have a big problem to eradicate.

We have to call our Reps and Senators to start impeachment hearings. That is no joke tRump blatantly is showing himself as Putin's puppet.

15. Psychopaths on Parade

Little Man Vlad Putin and Fat Traitor Trump sharing a smirk over the misery they are causing.

Smirking psychos. This is what capitalism brings you.

17. See, the joke is that Russia is an authoritative regime that attacked U.S. elections and silences...

See, the joke is that Russia is an authoritative regime that attacked U.S. elections and silences and kills journalists. It’s all very funny you see.

18. And the same fucking media will continue to run him down for interviews

or to shout questions around a noisy helicopter instead of boycotting this authoritarian

[northoftheborder]

19. This episode with Putin is...

...nauseating.

[yuiyoshida]

20. So are they dating now? Or is Trump still in love

with Kim Jong Un?

[Perseus]

23. The buffoon is crapping on top of th USA and the World

He just pulls his pants down on the country and takes a dump on all of us, this is amazing. Treason in front of everyone's eyes, and no one does anything about it.

Things are getting out of hand...IT CAN HAPPEN HERE!

[Martin Eden]

25. For any other president there would be a storm of outrage

And continuing coverage in major media.

For Trump it's par for the course and hardly noticed.

26. Kick and recommend for visibility.
