Seriously. Let’s remember that when we were almost alone heavily discussing Obama’s lack of documentation, many years ago, Donald Trump was saying the same thing out in society. No one on the radio mentioned it except Sean Hannity. Trump’s always had a set o gonads. And I wouldn’t be stunned if he’s been reading FR all these years.
Nuance is not President Trump’s strong suit. We the people had enough political double speak, tap dancing, pirouetting, pivoting and generally dodging. So we elected Trump.
Our government kills people. We don’t know how many or who they are. We’d probably be a bit stunned if we did.
Putin kills people.
There isn’t much moral equivalence when you compare the US to Russia overall, philosophically. But, when you break it down, you get into some ugly stuff. Is an Obama/Brennan CIA morally superior to a Putin/FSB?
A Trump/Pompeo CIA is going to be a more wholesome creature, no doubt. But, they will still kill people.
Trump was, as usual, blurting out the unvarnished truth. Something I appreciate more than I can say.
