Description Putin says, "He's a great little puppet.  The only problem is that the string that makes him shut his mouth is stuck."

It's funny how people who go on about American sovereignty ad nauseum suddenly don't care if the President is working for the Kremlin.  Whether it's through deliberate collusion or if he's just being played for a dupe, either way Trump is in Putin's pocket.  That's not acceptable.  This isn't a question of politics or party.  This is a question of patriotism.  Trump must go.

Also you put a Hammer and sickle hat on him... www.youtube.com/watch?v=or215v… do you have any self awareness at all of what your saying? Do you not realize both Trump and Putin are Capitalists... things not well liked by commies.

The Hammer and Sickle is the symbol of the Soviet Union.  Modern communists using it is like German nationalists using a Swastika.  What the hell is wrong with you people?  Honestly.  Capitalists Schmapitalists.  What's wrong with you, still obsessing over ideological labels from a political spat two centuries ago?

Trump is an idiot, has no impulse control, and has no ability to effectively make long term plans.  You can't treat him like he's following some sort of strategy because he's just not capable of that.  However, Trump did openly solicit the Russians to conduct a cyber attack against the US during the campaign to help him in the election.  That's treasonous, whether purposely or through sure stupidity I really don't know, and frankly don't much care.

The Hammer and sickle has gone beyond the USSR. Sorry to say, it's a symbol of communism world wide. And NOT something to describe Russian Nationalism. As for the labels, THEY ARE LITERAL CAPTILAISTS! Just because you dont think these terms still apply today doesn't mean they DO.  

Yeah No shit he's fucking dumb. As for him soliciting the cyber attack, it would have happened anyways. And i'm sorry that your precious dems lost to an Incompetent dumbass by rigging the primaries for miss shillary.

Shocking as it may be, we have actually learned a little bit about how economies actually work in the last two hundred years.  Nattering on about capitalists today makes as much sense as going on about phlogiston and the luminiferous ether.  And if you need to ask Wikipedia what the heck those things are, there's a good reason for that.  There's also a good reason spellcheck has never heard of them.

Incidentally, the hat I drew on Trump was directly modeled on Soviet military issue gear.  Whether you like it or not, the USSR has permanently tainted the hammer and sickle just as much as the Nazis tainted the swastika.  Pretending otherwise just makes you look like an idiot.  A goosestepping idiot useful to would be dictators.

So talking about how certain individuals have gained immeasurable power through a system of exploitation and buy out of government is somehow not relavent... even though their doing it right now in our times.... THINK.

(Putin was anti Soviet and Anti-Communist, so this is still dumb) So should hindus give up the Swastika? No. Neither should communists give up the hammer and sickle. And again, the usage of it here is DUMB. 2 right wing captilaits yet somehow sympathetic to communism.

"Talking about how certain individuals have gained immeasurable power through a system of exploitation..." you mean like what Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, et al did?  The Soviet Union was just one of the more recent iterations of an authoritarian regime exploiting the people for the benefit of the ruling elites.  What difference does some BS ideological window dressing make?

Putin was and is Soviet down to the bone.  Since he's come to power he's been bringing back old Soviet iconography.  If Bush had really looked into his eyes and seen his soul, he'd have seen the letters KGB tattooed on his retinas.  Of course Putin's no Marxist.  Neither were the Soviets.  The USSR never gave Marx any more than lipservice.

And this is what I used for reference.  A WWII Soviet ushanka.  Putin himself probably wore something very similar back in his KGB days.  It's there to illustrate that Trump is a traitor and a wannabe authoritarian.  The only thing that's DUMB is you trying to pretend the last century of history never happened.  That the Soviet system has given us several of the worst mass murderers in human history and some of the most abusive totalitarian regimes ever conceived.

Now for a little reality check.  Humans compete for social status.  It's part of our nature.  It's either hardwired in or so deeply ingrained in our culture that it may as well be.  And there's nothing wrong with that.  It can be managed so that the competition isn't harmful.  And we've made a lot of progress toward that.  200 years ago a bad harvest and a hard winter meant that the poor had a real chance of starving or freezing to death.  We've immeasurably improved the material circumstances of the poor.  There is far more social mobility now than at virtually any time in history.  Yes, we have still have a long way to go.  But it's foolish to ignore the progress that we've made.  And it's immoral to demonize the rich for doing what anyone in their position would do, as the Soviet experiment more than amply demonstrated.  And it's just childish to think that a revolution will somehow magically solve a problem that humanity has been wrestling with for all of recorded history.  Revolutions are a throw of the dice - you're just as likely to wind up with something worse as something better.  The English deposed Charles I and got Cromwell.  The French exchanged Louis XVI for Robespierre.  The Iranians traded in the Shah for the Ayatollahs.  And of course the Russians wound up with Stalin.

The bottom line is that blowing up society with a revolution and expecting a utopia to magically appear in the aftermath is about like setting off a barrel of anfo in your basement and expecting the debris to spontaneously arrange itself into a palatial dwelling.

Huh?  What do Jews have to do with anything?  And how would you draw a Jew anyway?  Jews look like everyone else.

Yeah, I'm not very good at drawing real people in a recognizable way - I think I'm going to give it up, at least for the time being.

You know CNN "journalist" Van Jones was caught saying that the whole Russia narrative was just a big nothing burger.

Jones is a commentator, not a journalist.  He's a talking head who appears on CNN's panel discussions on a fairly regular basis, he doesn't do reporting.  And what he said was taken out of context and edited to change what he seemed to be saying.  What Jones was saying is that the idea of Democrats being able to remove Trump over the Russia affair is a nothing burger - that it's only if Republicans agree that Trump needs to be removed that it will actually happen.

MissouriPatriot In reply to kessy-athena [2017-09-26 10:01:28 +0000 UTC]

No it wasn't taken out of context. You people practically say anything to fit your agenda. Plus if Trump were really a puppet of Russia, why in the world did he target one of Assad's airfields when Assad so happens to be an ally of Russia?

-_-  Dude, this was from months ago.  You really need to start watching real news.  Look, the guy responsible for that tape is James O'Keefe, who's notorious for selectively editing tapes to create incidents that never happened.  He was the one behind the ACORN tapes back in '09.  The incident was thoroughly investigated by the California State Attorney General's Office and the US Government Accountability Office, both of which found that O'Keefe made the whole thing up and ACORN had done nothing wrong in any way.  He was sued by one of the people who got fired because of that and settled for $100,000 and an apology.  He was later arrested for trying to sneak into a US Senator's office and copped a plea.  The guy is a complete con artist and has zero credibility.  And just a thought, but maybe you should hear Jones's side of the story before jumping to conclusions?

Oh come on, lobbing a handful of cruise missiles is the prinprickiest of pinprick strikes.  It didn't even do significant damage.  And Trump gave them advance warning before the strike happened.  The whole thing was a bad joke.

There are two types of Kool Aid. The kind you buy in the store and then there is the Jim Jones Brand. . .stop drinking the Jim Jones Brand! If anyone is a puppet its Hillary because of her selling 15-20 percent of US Uranium to Russia.

kessy-athena In reply to Graeystone [2017-07-03 16:20:00 +0000 UTC]

Putin personally directed Russian hackers to intervene in the election and help Trump.  That's a fact.  since taking office Trump has been sowing confusion and doubt throughout the Western alliance and trying to get the sanctions against Russia lifted.  That's also a fact.  Putin's gotten more return on his investment than he ever dreamed.  The only one selling kool-aid here is your right wing media mushroom farmers.

So the question for you is very simple.  What's more important to you?  Getting high on self-righteous outrage at Democrats and Clinton, or the security of the United States?  Because you have to choose: it's one or the other, not both.

kessy-athena In reply to Graeystone [2017-07-05 18:35:39 +0000 UTC]

The key word here is "threatening."  As always, Trump is nothing but a load of hot air.  He can say all the nasty things he wants about Assad until the cows come home for all Putin (or any other sensible person) cares.  What has Trump actually done?  Lob a handful of cruise missiles at an airbase he gave advance warning to?  That's laughable.  Removing Assad would require a real commitment and American boots on the ground, and Trump has said outright that he doesn't have the balls for that.

However, even if Trump actually did make a serious move against Assad, the real question is this: which is more strategically valuable to Putin?  Assad in power or a paralyzed US and a Western alliance in disarray?  I assume the answer is obvious.  Putin has taken a risk with the former in order to gain the latter.  And the risk he's taking is honestly really minimal.  Winner: Putin.  Losers: American patriots.

The Uranium can't be exported from the US to Russia, so what's the problem?
