    Take any of the top 15 awful things Trump has done and each is disqualifying for the presidency, let alone when added up.

    The crazy thing is that the MAGAts could have had any one of various Trump lite clones instead willing to stay a little closer to the boundaries of the law and won this election easily.

    Well, let's analyze it;

    Someone who votes either for a man who enacted a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election, and stole and refused to return classified documents.....OR for the (supposed) political party that actively lies to defend said behavior and prevent it from being fairly prosecuted.....

    ...... is also a patriot?


    Would that make sense?

    Wow. Never Trumpers did all that?

    If thinking your daughter is a piece of ass, groping woman and bragging about it, or walking in on nude teenagers at pageants, all while cheating on multiple wives makes you normal, then I will wear my never Trumper badge with pride and remain as abnormal as possible.

    No. TRUMP cultists are the problem. They caved to a bully and turned my former party into a shell of its former self.

    The party of Lincoln and Reagan is on life support and a maniac is holding the plug.

    Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are part of the welfare state. You can't have open borders if you are a welfare state, per Milton Friedman.

    Without the 1965 Immigration Act plus open borders, the US populatipn would be 250 million. People cause pollution, drain our resources, pollute the air, contaminate the water with micro plastics that are shrinking penises. Most illegals have a higher CO2 footprints in the US than in the heir home country. Illegals are being pipelined into the US to give Democrats more power. This weakens America and is treasonous. Democrats have called people who opposed illegal immigration "racists."" The answer to that is to call them what they are: "traitors."

    Regarding Gonzalo Lira, he went to jail because he told the truth about the folly of the Ukraine war and how Victoria Nuland wanted war for religious/ethnic/racial reasons. By your logic, Jews who violated German Nazi law d served to die at Auschwitz

    It is here ghly likely, as some intel analysts have stated or implied, that Zelensky is a cokehead. Intel analyst Greg Copley, who has had meetings with Ukrainian generals during the war, believes Zelensky is probably a cokehead. Call him up and see what he says (I have his phone number). People close to Zelensky have implied he does coke.

    Lira often said things that the Kremlin n said because both were telling the truth.

    Name one lie Russia told during this war. I doubt you can. I could name hundreds and more likely thousands f lies told by Ukraine and the Biden admin distraction.

    Name ONE incident where Russia directly targeted civilians as opposed to civilians being collateral damage. You can't

    The "Bucha Massacre? Debunked. The missile attack on the Ukrainian children's hospital ~ 3 days ago? I debunked that to a friend in 90 seconds.

    The Biden administration wanted Gonzalo Lira tortured and killed and they got their wish.

    You made a blanket accusation about the Biden administration and Lira WITH ZERO FACTS! Provide them WITH THE SOURCE(s) and I’ll respond.

    Also notice what I said about your ridiculous post: it is LARGELY nonsense. See, I’m not in a cult. I recognize that few people are all wrong. There’s a lot I don’t like about Biden, but I will not flinch from saying anyone who votes for Trump is a fool who doesn’t know what America has been about for nearly 250 years.

    No, we can’t be as brilliant, insightful and open minded as you. But, stupid people don’t know they’re stupid, do they?

    We've had about 10 to 11 million undocumented immigrants in our country since 2005. Just about as many return home annually as arrive. They are also an important cog in our workforce, and produce billions in GDP.

    We've also spent billions on stopping the flow and what have we accomplished? A dilapidated wall and 10X the number of BP Agents we had in the 1980s. And still the flow comes. Would've been much better had we established a Gang of 8 style play that helps supply of immigrant labor legally meet demand.

    And again, how are people paying into SS but never taking anything out hurting the system? We need abled bodies workers as more and more baby boomers retire and take out of the system.

    As for Russian lies? Here's an entire page full...from a Canadian source. They include Russia's claim Ukraine used chemical weapons, Ukraine was a threat to Russia, and that Ukraine is a Nazi/Socialist state, despite Zelensky being Jewish!?!

    Yeah, that was an absolutely ludicrous claim. Russia has told no lies?? It is better to ignore such a person as you would any gibbering idiot you might encounter

    The following blanket statement about a well-known kook:

    "The Biden administration left the American journalist Gonzalo Lira in a Ukrainian jail because they wanted him dead is my claim."

    So true. I think I'm as open-minded as they come - except with respect to Trump and his sycophants and what they stand for.....or don't stand for. I've blocked a number of close-minded Trumpers, and this one's not far behind.

    Biden instigated a war that has killed a million people so far. That is worse than Trump saying if Ivanka wasn't his daughter he would date her.

    Trump wanted to control the border, Democrats want to open it up to get more Democrat votes.

    I opposed Trump's hiring off Amy Coney Barrett who has been a disaster, I opposed numerous Trump judicial appointments including Amy Coney Barrett who will be a disaster for 30 years. I opposed Trump's hiring of Bill Barr, who covered up election fraud in Michigan. I opposed Pompei, Bolton, Haspel (CIA), Wray (FBI,) and numerous federal judge nominations. Trump should have pardoned Assange and Snowden but he didn't because he not only grabs them by the _____, he is a _____.

    But Trump is much better than any Democrat. If you vote for open borders you're a traitor IMO.

    One million people died in Ukraine because the Democrats/Deep State wanted war to help Democrats in the 2022 midterms

    If you want to see why AzCatFan and the Biden administration thought Gonzalo Lira should never tortured and die in a Ukrainian prison, watch this video. Gonzalo was extremely brave and told it like he saw it. He was married to a Ukrainian woman and had 2 children.

    This, from the esteemed paper that said how fit, sharp and ready Biden was for a second term…until we all saw what a farce that was.

    A once great paper - consider the source.

    Watch this video and see why the Biden administration wanted American journalist Gonzalo Lira tortured and dead. AzCatFan thinks Gonzalo deserved to be in jail. One phone call would have freed him. But the Biden admin wanted him dead. Why? Watch the video

    Russian propaganda.

    And how do Democrats gain votes from allowing undocumented immigrants into the country? Any proof non citizens vote in any large quantities?

    Let it be noted, I asked you to provide 1 lie Russia has told during the war in Ukraine.

    Did I not ask you to provide 1 example of Russia deliberately targeting civilians?

    Let it be noted, Russia tells the truth and they don't tarillegal migrants eventually become citizens when the Democrats have the power to make it so.
    get civilians.
    Name 1 thing Gonzalo Lira ever said that you call *Russian propaganda" that wasn't a true statement.

    You can't
