    By rights the left should throw their support to Trump by attacking Putin with tests.

    Yep. Go for it. Why don't you write the counter and show us all those reams of evidence you have disproving it. You'll make millions.

    Nope. Just a glimpse into the mind of MAGA. Pretty amazing when you consider these are actually adults.

    This person is never going to grasp this argument, intellectually or morally. Stop wasting your time. All they do is run you in circles with their intentionally dumb BS. They have no interest whatsoever in discussing this as an honest broker.

    Sorry, but it saddens me to see good people arguing in good faith with people who have no intention whatsoever of reciprocating that.

    So Trump was downplaying COVID, his supporters were downplaying COVID or flat out denying its existence or calling it planned. Meanwhile, it was serious enough that Trump sent expensive testing machines to a non friendly world leader who told him to keep it secret, while we needed that equipment here, AmERICa FiRsT

    The absolute congnitive dissonance of believing or supporting Trump I'll never get over. 33% of Americans are just abject morons, and there is no other way to put it at this point. It takes an IQ of .138 to see how full of shit Trump is

    Not "pubs", MAGA. There is a HUGE difference. One is conservative in the traditional American sense of the word. The others are just stupid idiots who double down on stupid on a daily basis. I'll let you guess which is which as I wouldn't want to be accused of insulting our more mentally fragile members.

    And willfully so, which makes it even more pathetic.

    I truly didn’t see the “big deal” of all this until you put it these terms. I 100% agree.

    I genuinely don't want to dismiss different political opinions as "moronic" because I don't feel that way. If someone believes something like "abortion is wrong" I can respect that as a legitimate opinion, even if it differs from mine.

    But I don't see MAGA supporters as a differentiation of political opinions.

    Biden was pressured to step down as the nominee based on the majority of Democrats losing faith in him following his disastrous debate. So we have a very recent example that the Democratic candidate can lose support and there be consequences for it. Not so with Trump.

    Ironically, Fauci and the Democrats downplayed ‘Covid’ before Trump did.

    Do you feel good when you log onto a message board just to say mean things about another person? Does that make you feel big? #SAD!!!

    Most people think that saying unkind things makes a person seem small.

    Is it just that the minds and souls of a person are diminished once that person mentally pledges his fealty to a lying, racist, rapist convicted felon, and/or the political party criminal organization that supports, defends and enables his lies?

    Your hatefulness, sir, makes me weep inside. Not for me, but for you. For your soul. I am praying for you.

    Non-friendly? Try one of the top US enemies in the world. (I know you know that, just emphasizing)

    Ukraine started the war by crossing 1 of Russia's 3 red lines. They fired thousands of rounds of artillery at Russian-speakers in the Donbas beginning on Feb 16, 2022. Then Kamala stated on Feb 23 2022 that another of Russia's 3 red lines would also be broken in the future, when she said Ukraine would become part of NATO.

    Putin tried to keep Ukraine and the Donbas together by not absorbing Donetsk and Luhansk into Russia, which they wanted after declaring their independence in 2014, but the Biden administration wanted war. Zelensky was going to follow up the artillery shelling with a bloody invasion of the Donbas in March 2022. Putin put a stop to it, citing Article 51 of the UN Charter. The US set the precedent for citing Article 51 when it bombed Serbia when Kosovo declared independence. No Russian leader would have allowed the US-Ukraine slaughter of ethnic Russians

    Putin's 3 red lines sent in writing in December 2021:
    1. Ukraine must not join NATO, a hostile organization that wanted to split Russia into 17-32 separate countries

    2. No US missiles in Ukraine that could hit Moscow in 2-3 minutes when they became hypersonic

    3. Ukraine must honor the Minsk2 ceasefire agreement, which it signed, by not killing Russian-speakers.


    Unfortunately the Biden administ4ation wanted war to make people forget the disastrous Afghanistan exit.

    Yes, the proxy wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are driven by revenge for the humiliating defeats in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are ruled by wild-eyed idealogues who have zero regard for consequences. In other words, as long as they can keep wars going they don’t have to acknowledge they are losing.

    Yep. Putin is a sworn enemy of the US. He despises our country and everything it stands for. Despicable that any American would carry water for someone like that.
