The mainstream media had nothing but hysterical outrage to offer the watching public about President Donald Trump’s showing in Helsinki and meeting with Vladimir Putin.
But really, did the left-leaning operatives masking as unbiased members of the media really have to fight so hard to outdo themselves with the ridiculous historical comparisons?
For instance: MSNBC.

Truly, Trump’s meeting with Putin, no matter how you slice it, is nothing like the “day of infamy” used to describe Pearl Harbor.
Yet this is how the leftist press is putting it.
From Mediaite:
On Monday night, MSNBC contributor and former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks blasted President Donald Trump for his performance at the Helsinki summit alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Filling in for Chris Hayes, Ali Velshi read an excerpt from a Washington Post report about how the president was “growling” according to one White House official in reaction to Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s indictment of 12 Russian intel officials just days before the highly anticipated summit and that he was “more excited” to sit down with Putin than he was with NATO allies, something Velshi thought was “amazing.”
“At some point, this has a complexity that’s even richer than the one you were involved in with the watergate investigation in that nobody thought that Richard Nixon was working on behalf of an enemy of the United States,” Velshi said to Wine-Banks. “How do you even make sense of this?
In response, Wine-Banks invoked one of the deadliest attacks on Americans and the Holocaust to compare the severity of Trump’s summit performance.
“You can’t make sense of it. It’s very hard to possibly analyze. And you’re quite correct. The burglars were Americans. They worked for the White House. They worked for the committee to re-elect the president. They weren’t foreign agents. And yet, we were burglarized this time by foreign agents,” she said. “And it’s just as serious to me as the Cuban Missile Crisis in terms of an attack or the 9/11 attack. The president is taking the side of the people who attacked us instead of trying to prevent a future attack. He has done nothing to make sure that the elections four months away are going to be safe.”
With the Cuban Missile Crisis and September 11th already on the table, she wrapped up the over-the-top comparisons.
“I would say that his performance today will live in infamy as much as the Pearl Harbor attack or Kristallnacht. And it’s really a serious issue we need to deal with.”
Yes, she said Kristallnacht.

The more hysterical and extreme these people get , I truly can’t believe people take the liberal media seriously. I think this helps explain Trump:
Understanding Trump…Trump does this all the time with different people…
Negotiating with Putin
Putin is a bad guy. A really bad guy. He is better than Lenin. Better than Stalin, Khrushchev, Kosygin, Brezhnev, Pol Pot, Mao. But he is a really bad guy.
Here’s the thing: Putin is a dictator. He answers to no one. He does whatever he wants. If there arises an opponent, that guy dies. Maybe the opponent gets poked with a poisoned umbrella. Maybe he gets shot on the street. Maybe the opponent is forced to watch Susan Rice interviews telling the world that Benghazi happened because of a YouTube video seen by nine derelicts in Berkeley and that Bowe Berghdal served with honor and distinction. But, one way or another, the opponent dies.
Trump knows this about Putin. And here is what that means:
If you insult Putin in public, like by telling the news media just before or after meeting with him that he is the Butcher of Crimea, and he messed with our elections, and is an overall jerk — then you will get NOTHING behind closed doors from Putin. Putin will decide “To heck with you, and to heck with the relationship we just forged.” Putin will get even, will take intense personal revenge, even if it is bad for Russia — even if it is bad for Putin. Because there are NO institutional reins on him.
But if you go in public and tell everyone that Putin is a nice guy (y’know, just like Kim Jong Un) and that Putin intensely maintains that he did not mess with elections — not sweet little Putey Wutey (even though he obviously did) — then you next can maintain the momentum established beforehand in the private room. You can proceed to remind Putin what you told him privately: that this garbage has to stop — or else. That if he messes in Syria, we will do “X.” If he messes with our Iran boycott, we will do “Y.” We will generate so much oil from hydraulic fracturing and from ANWR and from all our sources that we will glut the market — if not tomorrow, then a year from now. We will send even more lethal offensive military weapons to Ukraine. We can restore the promised shield to Eastern Europe that Obama withdrew. And even if we cannot mess with Russian elections (because they have no elections), they do have computers — and, so help us, we will mess with their technology in a way they cannot imagine. Trump knows from his advisers what we can do. If he sweet-talks Putin in public — just Putin on the Ritz — then everything that Trump has told Putin privately can be reinforced with action, and he even can wedge concessions because, against that background, Putin knows that no one will believe that he made any concessions. Everyone is set to believe that Putin is getting whatever he wants, that Trump understands nothing. So, in that setting, Putin can make concessions and still save face.
That is WHY Trump talks about him that way. And that is the only possible way to do it when negotiating with a tyrant who has no checks and balances on him. If you embarrass the tyrant publicly, then the tyrant never will make concessions because he will fear that people will say he was intimidated and backed down. And that he never will do. Meanwhile, Trump has expelled 60 Russians from America, reversed Obama policy and sent lethal weapons to Ukraine, and is pressing Germany severely on its pipeline project with Russia.
..
He is a tough and smart negotiator. He sizes up his opponent, and he knows that the approach that works best for one is not the same as for another. It does not matter what he says publicly about his negotiating opponent. What matters is what RESULTS months later.

I was having a telephone conversation with a former gunnery sergeant of my acquaintance. I was railing on paddy-mic keli. He reminded me that keli was a US Marine. I reminded him that Lee Harvey Oswald was one, as well. Always faithful.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a helluva shot w/an M1-Garand over open sights.

Although Oswald did earn his marksman rating, with an M-1, his infamous shot was with a Mannlicher-Carcano bolt action rifle.

Can you chamber a round without losing sight picture? JFK was in a moving car.

I break my arm, patting myself on the back, about how good of a shot I am … but, I ain’t nothin’ compared to some. There are some incredible shots … many that are professionals. However, just for just the occasional plinker, going to the back of the outbuildings, with his sons. With a Remington bolt action .22 rim fire, my dad could keep a tin can, almost in the air, until all of the rounds were discharged. And, he shot maybe … once or twice a year.

For the lefty’s and the curious-.
Search “images world map average IQ”.
Search “images world map marry first cousins”.
Search “images world map corruption”.
Search “images world map muslims”.
See a pattern? Note non of the smartest and few of the dumbest nations accept muslim “refugees”.
search “how many times is the word love mentioned in the bible” – spell checker doesn’t care about how Bible is typed.
search “how many times is the word love mentioned in the koran” – spell checker only wants the Koran not koran
Why would you import by choice the dumbest, genetically inferior and most corrupt people?

I am surprised the media did not claim that Trumps meeting with Putin was more destructive than the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Oh, I forgot, the Americans dropped the bombs.

The left does not understand what Roosevelt meant when he said it will be a “day that will live in infamy”.
After you found out they let Japan attack Pearl Harbor on purpose and MURDER 2700 sailors, it truly is a “day of infamy” in my mind, forever.
