CNN is running a story from Erin Burnett Out Front that bears the headline “’Complete lack of normal human morals’: Oligarch’s ex-partner on life around Putin.” “Complete lack of normal human values.” Isn’t “amoral” a way in which former President Donald Trump has often been described?

Another piece in CNN has the headline; “Putin celebrates anniversary of Crimea annexation at stadium rally.” Hmm? Don’t we also have a politician who uses Nuremberg-like rallies to prop himself up?

This article reports that Putin told his crowd, people who are informed only by right-wing propaganda: “To spare people from this suffering, from this genocide — this is the main reason, motive and purpose of the military operation that we launched in the Donbas and Ukraine.” And don’t we have a politician who tells similarly outrageous lies to his base that knows only right-wing propaganda, a politician who routinely accuses others of the very thing he is doing himself?

Trump found a lot more to like in Putin than just his good looks.
