Hannity Praises Putin For 'Channeling His Inner Trump' - Ring of Fire



Vladimir Putin held a massive rally late last week in a stadium that contained tens of thousands of people. And during his evening broadcast, Fox News host Sean Hannity said that Putin was "channeling his inner Trump." While Hannity did offer plenty of criticism and attacks against Putin, his statement about being like Trump could easily be viewed as praise for the Russian dictator. But there's something even more diabolical that is being overlooked, and Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what that is.

When he was elected prez, having witnessed what he’d done in my home state as Governor, i said, “This is gonna fucking hurt.”

All I can come up with is "accelerating senility while serving in high office."

As he went into serious decline after retiring from politics, I remember reading something that really shocked me, but also made me feel vindicated. Evidently he was given a special snow globe or other distinguished gift - in which the White House was a central visual. I read that his reaction, upon seeing it, was "does that have something to do with me?"

And frankly, that struck me as the heaviest kind of justice delivered with the lightest touch. Ronnie went all the way to the top, literally. As only a few dozen (so far) white men in America have ever done - in all of our history. And he wound up not able to remember any of it.
