I’m sure they expected Elton John to skewer him, but instead he said it was a brilliant move.

Now he’s going to get called a nazi sympathizer by his fellow lefties, for the crime of failing to condemn orange hitler

Elton is lie Jews for Nazis. How can he say nice things about someone who wants to exterminate him?

I’ve heard Elton is actually a great human being. A met a guy who was his butler when he was in Vegas. Said he staff was garbage but Elton was pure gold.

He had the butler watch tv and drink some wine with him. Said Elton would play the piano and sing for him.

> “What I want by saying that last night … there is a danger, as Dick Cheney said the other day. America is in a very volatile position. And it’s a country I love, and I’ve always loved, and I’m so thankful that it made me who I am.”

LMAO

I love watching leftists quote Dick Cheney as some kind of wise sage.

This is the man notorious for his soulless scowl, who pressured Colin Powell into ruining his reputation by making a passionate case in front of the UN for toppling Saddam Hussein’s Bathist regime on an extremely shaky factual foundation. Of course this case was later revealed to be the product of telltale bureaucratic groupthink, with no one being willing to inform the emperor he was naked.

Cheney was the caricaturistic face on every leftist war protester’s banner, representing all that was evil in the American political-military war machine.

And now they think his opinions about global volatility are worth quoting, because we are talking about our Great Orange Satan.

They would quote Donald Rumsfeld if he was still alive and saying the same things, even though they hated him just as much, if not more so, than Cheney.

I give Elton John credit for seeing the humor in the rocket man situation, but he still has his head dug deeply into the sand on how global politics works. Just like pretty much all leftists and pearl clutchers.

Trump threatens these people’s status and power, and that’s all this is about.

My favorite part of the piece:

While John did not explicitly endorse either Kamala Harris or Trump, he asked rhetorically, “I just hope that people make the right decision to see what the future is going to be. Is it going to be fire and brimstone … or are we going to have a much calmer, a much safer place? People can vote for who they like, but as far as I’m concerned, I love love. And I’m a loving person, and I want that to come back to America. I feel it’s been lost in the last 12 years.”

That’s how desperate they have become.

They’re just so silly and naive. What they call love, most of the world sees as weakness. Bad actors will exploit that weakness handily, as they’ve been doing for decades.

Can’t just turn into a bunch of pussy hippies.

The last 12 years coincides with Trumps rise. Right after Obama skewered him for his birth certificate bullshit, he set out for revenge.

He is a British citizen, so he basically stays out of US politics. But he is basically just a good person who doesn’t let politics interfere with his personal life.
