My latest talking point to my republican friends and associates

[rpannier]

Why did Trump apologize to Putin for the things America has done to Russia?
That's why he turned the recorder off you know.
I've seen several stories out of Russia that have said Trump apologized to Putin.

I am using this starting tomorrow.
When challenged, I speak Russian, they don't. Most will likely believe it.
I know one guy who won't.
I don't care if I made it up. Maybe it will become a larger discussion

1. Why is a Chump apology tour suddenly acceptable to those hypocrites ? Ask them if they've

gone "red".

2. They will spout a dozen half-baked, comically illogical rationalizations why it's OK

But at the end of the day, it's just "na na my team rocks" hypocrisy mixed with more than a hint of secret admiration for a white, authoritarian ethnonationalist like Putin. As they've learned from right-wing media, Putin stands up for his native race in Russia, crushes the "libs" with decisive force, and publicly spits on the Black Satan who besmirched the White House for eight years.
