Cuddlin' with Putin

[1sikbITCH]

If Trump was President, he'd be waterboarding himself at Guantanamo Bay right now.

He later stated 'Nobody said it was going to be on Russian TV'

This is the first time for half a second I really gave serious thought to "maybe Trump is working for the Dems". Would be epic trolling. He raised 20 million bucks for them just today:

$20,000,000 to beat Trump

"Cari and I have dedicated our lives to figuring out how to do the most good we can with the resources we've been given. Until now, those efforts have not included making endorsements or contributions in presidential elections," Moskovitz wrote. "The Republican Party, and Donald Trump in particular, is running on a zero-sum vision, stressing a false contest between their constituency and the rest of the world."

Thanks Trump!

Pubbies, you guys gotta figure out what led to Trump being your chosen man for Prez who's presently standing on a tall stump, holding on to a taut rope with both hands with the other end being a noose around his neck, and you guys gotta fix this before the next go-around 'cuz Trump is making a mockery of the race to the top and the world is laughing their asses off at us.

We need a healthy, vibrant, clever and treacherous Repub Party like the days of yore in order to elect the most cunning, ingenious and crafty POTUS to lead our nation on the world stage and that ain't gunna happen unless you guys get your shit together soonest.

Jus' say'in.

All I can advise the Trump people, when Donald is invited to go on FTITA TV, they'd better check it out before he agrees. (FTITA TV: F### Trump In The A$$ TV)

And besides.... "I WILL BE THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER. I WILL HAVE THE BEST PEOPLE EVER. I WILL MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS EVER."
Well, I think we can all agree, so far Trump hasn't quite lived up to that bar.
In fact, so far every thing Trump has done, said, planned, crafted, has not been exactly the best anyone has ever ever done before.
But I guess "after" the election, president Trump will get his dose of magic brainy fairy dust.
And Donald will be much gooder.

Keep your fingers crossed....
That when president Trump decides to nuke Moscow, Trump nukes Moscow Russia and not Moscow Idaho.
If you do happen to live in Moscow Idaho, and Trump is indeed elect president, BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID.

So is Larry King a Putin stooge too?

These days ? Probably.

Most political pundits would sell out their mother to stay relevant these days.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

These days ? Probably.

Based on...? I'll admit I've only watched Larry King interviews when specific ones are brought up. Maybe I missed some major event where he went all commie on us.

The problem is that MongGrel said "sell out" and you translated that into commie. Nothing new, it's a common thing I see today. People say one thing and the people who hear/read it turn it into something else based on their mindset/frame of mind. Selling out doesn't mean that Larry is a commie, it just means that he likes their money and/or the job offered. Since Larry is pretty much at the end of the road (when it comes to careers), it makes sense that he would sell out to some Kremlin-controlled mouthpiece.

Kapish?

Larry King still wants to be relevant, that's why he worked for nearly nothing toward the end of his national TV show, that's why he's done tons of infomercial shows disguised as news and now broadcasting with anyone who listens.

I agree I was surprized by this development too.

Misunderstand a basic and obvious joke is another common thing on this forum these days.

Again, based on what is Larry King a sell out? From what I can tell, his new show is more tied with Carlos Slim than anything, and together they in turn license out to various networkss, RT apparently a major one (but not the only one). Is Carlos Slim working with the Kremlin too? Is this opinion on Larry King's new show something you've had since its inception, or have you only come to the conclusion that he is a sell out over the last 24 hours or so? Was there a previous story about Larry King clearly shilling for Putin?

Oh, that settles it. The man has done infomercials, he's obviously Satan himself. And broadcasting to anyone who listens? Does he not realize that he's an American, and should only reach American networks? What a fucking sellout. I'm ashamed for even asking. I bet he performs personal Polonium deliveries too if it pays the rent.

Its about quality control do you want to position yourself like apple which has high value or ZTE which does not

Surely we can agree that while a person should not be confined to only American networks that having a show on a literal state run Russian propaganda network is a bad choice.

Again, provide evidence that he's directly working for RT. The most immediate info tells me that he works for his own company with Carlos Slim, Ora TV, and that it took them a year before they even began licensing to RT (Hulu was the main one before). I don't follow Larry King, maybe there's some money trail out there disputing his claim that his show is independent of them? The burden of proof is on you.

King is free to work where he wants, he's also free to ruin his reputation and trash his brand however he wants.
This interview was simply another example of how poorly run & managed Trumps organization is.

lmao, keep swallowing all that tasty nu-McCarthyism then. I did a quick search and while I'll admit there are at least two left-leaning members that have called out RT as Russian propaganda before, that news source has also been cited plenty of times by others of all kinds of political persuasions. That isn't to say they aren't a propaganda unit or should be trusted on face value, but they seemed to have occupied a level of acceptance on this forum at least higher than, say, Infowars or Gawker. It will interesting if this marks a new trend where suddenly Larry King is villainized as a propagandist and any business known to associate with RT likewise indulging in Russian dollars. Remember, you're with us or you're against us.

Are you joking? I'm not aware of any significant argument about the fact that RT is Russian state run media, and let's be honest with ourselves, Russian state media is propaganda. If they have achieved any acceptance here that speaks to how easily duped this forum is.

Call a spade a spade.

I thought the Cold War was over? Ask Obama.

What other major networks are King's two shows carried? I don't personally count Hulu as a major network, nor OraTV.

Putin owns Obama. Putin has proven it time and time again. That's "own" as in the urban definition of beating and bettering Obama.

 

[fskimospy]

Except of course that Russia's government is running out of money, in no small part due to Obama's actions. Their economy is crippled by sky high inflation despite very high interest rates needed to prop up the ruble, and those high interest rates are in turn crushing investment. Due to sanctions they are largely cut off from international finance as well. Russia is in deep shit.

Obama plays the long game and he's amazingly good at it. I've lost track of how many times he's done this same thing to people.

 

[1sikbITCH]

So is Larry King a Putin stooge too?

Larry King has been on Russia Today since 2013. Trump knew EXACTLY what he was doing when he did the interview. Or if he didn't realize it???? How stupid is he?

 

[TheGardener]

Except of course that Russia's government is running out of money, in no small part due to Obama's actions.

And it has also hurt the US economy. Tens of thousands have lost good paying jobs in the oil services industry.

Goes to show you how much the Saudi royal family owns the US government. They were the real drivers here.

That was due to low global oil prices, not sanctions. Low oil prices have hurt Russia the most, but sanctions on top of low prices have really put the screws to them. Putin got Crimea, which is an economic black hole, and now Obama is making him pay. And pay. And pay.

I have no idea how you got the Saudis into this.

So, it wasn't overproduction/oversupply of oil on the world market that pushed down wholesale oil prices, but somehow the crumbling Russian economy and the Saudis cost 10's of thousands of good paying jobs in the oil services industry....because.....???

 

[TheGardener]

I have no idea how you got the Saudis into this.

I guess you need to read up on OPEC and learn who is the largest member state of this cartel, and how the Saudi have been manipulating the price of oil for decades.
