John Kelly: ‘I Don’t Get’ Praising Putin, ‘He Is a Murderer’
Breitbart ^ | 02/24/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/24/2022 7:00:27 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former Trump White House chief of staff John Kelly said Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead” that he does not understand the praise on the right for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Anchor Jake Tapper said, “We’ve heard a lot of prominent Republicans, both in politics and in conservative media, praising Vladimir Putin, even calling him a genius. What’s your response when you hear that?”

Nope. Even now these folks can’t understand that Trumps “praise” was more of a slight to Corn Pops incompetence.

Dense, stupid, and lying Commentators lying to dense, stupid, and unstable listeners. All of these emotionally immature cockroaches are pretending that the words spoken in truth mean something else entirely.

Putin’s moves have been brilliant, but how much “brilliant” is really needed against The Gang Who Can’t Shoot Straight? Biden, et al., are freaking morons who are just place fillers for their betters who are still managing the destruction of the Untied States in America.

Discussing Putin as a smart man or a genius is not praising him, It is merely an observation of the qualities of our enemy.

I amazed that many people do not understand the English language better. Of course, it may be, in fact probably is, willful misinformation on the part of leftist media folks.

They are twisting Trump’s words from Wednesday evening into his praising Vlad Putin. Trump is an alpha male and he does understand Putin as another alpha male. That is why Trump was able to work with him as they respected each other even tho they were adversaries. Apparently this ia soo difficult a concept for some folks.

These people are children.

It’s like a little kid, screaming “you HATE me!!” because their parents told them to pick up their toys.

“Putin is intelligent.
Hitler was a good speaker.
Ted Bundy was charming.
Jim Jones was charismatic.“

WHAT?!?!? Why do you LOVE these guys so much???
Why… why… you MUST hate Jews and women.. a-a-and Ukrainians…!!!!

Yeah, these morons cater to millions of morons who watch them spew this crap on tv every day.

THAT is what is destroying our nation.

“Plenty of FReepers praise this evil thug.“

I haven’t seen it.

Just because the leftist media calls it “praise” doesn’t mean WE have to.

Napoleon used some brilliant tactics militarily; doesn’t mean I think he was good.
Hitler used some brilliant tactics and nearly conquered all of Europe. Doesn’t mean he was virtuous or worthy of praise.

Unless you can identify how intelligent an adversary is, you have no business thinking you can beat them.

Nobody I know of is praising Putin, no matter WHAT CNN tells us..

We’re all just nervous that we have a brain-dead, sundowning, Alzheimer’s patient at our helm during a time like this.

Hitler getting the Non-Aggression Pact with Stalin was a brilliant move. He totally outsmarted the British and French.

There’s nothing wrong with saying that.

I don’t think it is evil so much as most Freepers can only see two sides and since Putin has at least paid lip service to traditional Western values, they think they have to support him on anything.

As much as I am tired of being considered stupid for being a conservative, I have to admit there is a large contingent that can only divide the world into two categories, and think that one side is all good and the other is all bad. As much as I have grown to despise the liberal’s use of the word “nuance”, it does get to issue of the little brain contingent of conservatives.

To say someone is smart etc is not as such support nor a compliment when you are accurately describing your enemies capabilities. Rather it is needed honest assessment of your enemy and shows the person understand his adversary. If you do less then you are a fool for underestimating your enemy. John Kelly is being the DEMs useful tool, playing into the medias hands for in exchange for their attention, and is using PC word game tactics to change meanings of accurate speech and wording.

Some might say that Biden is a murderer (as a result of his cowardly abandonment of Afghanistan) or that former Governor Cuomo is a murderer for forcing covid positive patients into nursing homes that clearly weren’t able to cope with the onslaught, or every Democrat politician and notable who supports abortion on demand convenience are murderers.

You’re the only one who has mentioned two sides.
Nobody else has and I know I haven’t.

Not sure why you read that into my posts?

Biden would murder his enemies.
That is anyone for a sane constitutional America.
If he thought he could get away with it.

"... the great things Trump accomplished against all odds because the Democrat media had a sad over the old, corrupt dowager he defeated."

Old, corrupt, and mean dowager, Hillary Clinton.

Notice how the public is greeting the Covid Media's misinformation about news out of the Ukraine?
