Excessively literal, Somerby insists that critics were expecting Trump to use exactly that word. They weren't. Any condemnation using other words would have been fine.<br /><br />If you watched the exchange with Hannity, Trump didn't want to say anything bad about Putin or his actions, and that was very clear.<br /><br />Somerby is dishonest when he plays these stupid word games.

Somerby clai...I will repeat what I said yesterday:<br /><br />Somerby claimed that the media ignored Trump's statements against the war in Ukraine, but here is Trump telling us how he really feels about it:<br /><br />"Former President Donald Trump told Jeanine Pirro there is “a lot of love” behind Russian President Vladimir Putin’s efforts to “make his country larger.”<br /><br />Said Trump: “You say, what’s the purpose of this? They had a country. You could see it was a country where there was a lot of love and we’re doing it because, you know, somebody wants to make his country larger or he wants to put it back the way it was when actually it didn’t work very well.”<br /><br />This man doesn't deserve Somerby's defense of him. This statement proves that the media figures who ignored Trump's pro forma anti-war statement were correct in doing so. It is obvious that Trump didn't mean a word of it.<br /><br />But Trump managed to fool Somerby, assuming Somerby hasn't been hired to further RNC or Russian disinformation activities.<br /><br />-----------<br /><br />It doesn't take much looking to find the Republican statements about Fauci running a germ warfare lab from Ukraine that the Russians are trying to capture in order to protect the world from Fauci's evil deeds. Other Q-Anon believers think a space ship full of bad aliens crash landed in Ukraine and is being protected by Ukrainians while Putin and the good reptilians are trying to capture it to keep their technology from falling into the wrong hands (human and alien).<br /><br />This is all disinformation and misinformation, especially given that there are NO aliens involved in the war on either side. Somerby's failure to note any of the nonsense floating around is suspicious to me. He is only here, combatting the idea that Ukraine deserves support and the Russians opposition because they invaded a bordering country without provocation and are killing people in a needless war to appease a strongman's ego (much as people have died to assuage Trump's ego).<br /><br />In my opinion, Somerby is a piece of crap for pretending this about fairness to Trump when there is so manifestly ridiculous propaganda circulating. I have no doubt now who Somerby works for (paid or not).

So he could then claim it was debunked.<br /><br />But she didn't say no. In fact, she acknowledged exactly what you just went through that not only are there labs, but they are so dangerous, whatever is in them, that they're deeply concerned it would fall into Russian hands.</i>"<br /><br />https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/tucker-the-pentagons-ukraine-biolab-talking-points-are-an-utter-lieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
