Liberal Strategy: Not getting jokes.
Liberal Strategy: Not getting jokes.
This is why I wrote "Resistance Is Futile": The media wildly over-react to everything Trump says.
Trump at a rally in South Carolina, Saturday:
“[The president of a NATO member country] asked Trump whether the US would still defend the country if they were invaded by Russia even if they ‘don’t pay.’”
“‘No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.’”
Our fruitcake, Princess-and-the Pea Media:
The Washington Post, Trump says he'd disregard NATO treaty, urge Russian attacks on U.S. allies
Politico, 'Enough to make Reagan ill': Trump's NATO remarks under fire
BBC, Trump says he would 'encourage' Russia to attack Nato allies who do not pay their bills

And last but not least, the august New York Times (surely the Grey Lady can’t be this stupid):
Favoring Foes Over Friends, Trump Threatens to Upend International Order
Former President Donald J. Trump suggested that he would incite Russia to attack “delinquent” U.S. allies, foreshadowing potentially far-reaching changes in the world order if he wins the White House again.
By Peter Baker
Peter Baker has covered the White House under five presidents and reported from Moscow for four years.

Mr. Trump has never believed in the fundamental one-for-all-and-all-for-one concept of the Atlantic alliance….
But he took it to a whole new level over the weekend, declaring at a rally in South Carolina that not only would he not defend European countries he deemed to be in arrears from an attack by Russia, he would go so far as to “encourage” Russia “to do whatever the hell they want” against them. Never before has a president of the United States — even a former one aspiring to reclaim the office — suggested that he would incite an enemy to attack American allies.
Some may discount that as typical Trump rally bluster or write it off as a poor attempt at humor.
You think, New York Times?
Please stop making me defend him with ridiculous attacks like this, media. Isn’t Trump bad enough without you guys making stuff up?
In my experience liberals have no sense of humor, thus the term, “Libtard” was coined. I joked with a Barista that I knew for a fact DT-Jr was selling non-taxed cigarettes acquired from vendor in Brighton Beach. She bought it for a second then exploded. Libtards are more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
This is the same stupidity from the apocalyptic drama queens that followed from the joke about the Hillary emails. Some of them are just idiots but there are a lot of humorless people in DC at least. In 2016 we assumed the Chinese were reading our stuff (or maybe the Russians) but who knew it was actually our own intel services! I actually don't care whether he was joking or not. If they don't pay up, forget about them- they can afford to pay. Russia is not going to invade. They are bogged down as it is. The old fools Biden, Pelosi, Clinton and Schumer reliving the 80s as crossdressing Rs (since they were selling us out to the Commies then as Ds). They see Russkies around every corner and still think Trump is colluding with Putin. And the press is not exactly filled with the best and brightest- they lap this stuff up from their corporate masters. Our press is more Soviet than even the Russians are at this point.
