    I guess it’s his bizarro version of “it’s not their fault, society created them”.

    Uhmm, MAGATS blocked that, too, at the direction of Trump who wanted it as a campaign issue. That's also ignoring the fact the two issues have nothing to do with each other and should be handled separately but for it giving MAGATS some justification in their minds for what they are letting happen in Ukraine. MAGAT Nation has Ukrainian blood on their hands.

    While I'm flattered by your PPS invitation, I'm declining....full stop.

    Go Gators!!!.

    Our country tried. Trump and maga stopped the attempt to address the border.

    WSJ:
    By any honest reckoning, this is the most restrictive migrant legislation in decades. Previous immigration talks have involved trading security measures for legalizing more immigration. There is little of the latter in this bill—nothing for nearly all of the Dreamers who were brought here illegally as children, no general pathway to citizenship or green cards for most illegal immigrants already in the U.S. “

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate...6egk1g34p19nlux&reflink=article_copyURL_share

    Murphy says GOP voted against border bill to keep border ‘chaotic,’ help Trump campaign

    "A “border deal that actually reduced the flow of illegal immigration, that would be good for [President Biden] politically.That is Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), giving away the GOP’s cynical game on fixing the border. Cramer said this without a hint of shame in explaining his opposition to immigration reform."

    You are totally misguided on several points. For one, I am a conservative republican. I don't especially like Joe Biden. He is a better president than Trump was (so I voted for him in 2020), but that is not saying much. I am a much bigger fan of Ronald Reagan, especially Reagan's policies for dealing with the Russians. And yes, Reagan successfully conducted a proxy war supporting Afghanistan against the Russians (Soviets), leading to Russia's defeat and partially leading to Russia's economic collapse.

    The reason that everyone (with a brain) dismisses what DD and VF say is that almost all of their posts are supported by "information" from Twitter (or other social media) posts from radical individuals with little or no credibility, and they believe everything that Putin and the Kremlin say. When we post something, it is typically backed up by a respected news (or recognized subject authority) source, like CNN, Reuters, AP, ISW, etc. Okeedokee only believes information from Trump or from sources that believe what Trump appears to believe (and support Trump while hating Biden). There is no question that members of Russia's leadership are known liars--the evidence clearly supports this.

    We're only up to four clowns (no offense) that disagree with what we're saying, with two of them being admitted "Russophiles" who believe Putin's lies, and the other two being highly political right-wing homers that would disagree with anything that Biden said, because Biden is their biggest enemy. They are too ignorant to understand that making the mistake of not supporting Ukraine will cost us ten times as much as it would cost to support Ukraine. I have already proven that by showing how we would save $2.5 trillion in defense spending if Russia loses this war.

    There are at least a dozen people that routinely or occasionally post on here that agree with what we are saying (that we need to support Ukraine). If the halls of Congress had the same representation as this thread, Ukraine would be well on their way to defeating Russia right now. You are in the minority on this thread (no matter how much the clowns post), and your associates are lacking in credibility. There is no evidence that Americans in general are turned off by the truth on why we should support Ukraine. There is a lot more evidence that Donald Trump doesn't support Ukraine, and a lot of people of limited intelligence support Donald Trump.

    George Galloway interviews Pepe Escobar. The Ukraine War talk begins after the 9 minute mark (8 minutes long). Russia:s 3400+ pound FAN-1500 bombs are being used with devastating effect. The bomb has a ,reported blast radius of 1600 feet. Russia is also mass producing 3 ton FAB-3000 bombs. Seems likely when Russia wins the war on the battlefield they will set up a 300-400 kilometer buffer zone per Russian Foreigninister Lavrov.

    “We support Ukraine” = “To the last dead Ukrainian!” In other words, don’t presume to tell me you actually care about about a country you couldn’t locate on the map in 2021.

    HOR can't get anything done because the pubs can't control their own party and made a really bad deal that allows the SOH to be so vulnerable. I don't have a team here as neither meets my criteria but if I have to choose, I know it is an easy choice as maga ain't it

    More unproven slander? Thank you for helping me make my point. (I did know where Ukraine was on a map prior to 2022. We have already covered this topic. Maybe you have Alzheimers?)

    Sometimes something is worth dying for. In this case, freedom. No one is forcing Ukraine to fight the Russians. The west is simply providing weapons and allowing Ukraine to decide whether to fight Russia or not.

    Another U.S. expert unimpressed with another Russian superweapon--this time, the "unstoppable" Zircon missile. Putin should probably stop touting his unstoppable superweapons--he's losing what little credibility he has left. As a generally peaceful nation, the U.S. generally has never needed to announce its superweapons. The U.S. usually allows its superweapons to announce themselves, as it did in Hiroshima.

    Putin’s hypersonic ‘Zircon’ super-weapon has now seen combat. As a specialist, I’m not impressed

    Top Republican says party base "infected" by Russian propaganda

    Russian propaganda pushed by the Kremlin has "infected" part of the Republican base, a senior GOP congressman has said, as indications grow that a vital U.S. military package for Ukraine will come up for a vote with U.S. lawmakers this month.

    "I think Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it's infected a good chunk of my party's base," House Foreign Affairs Committee chair and Texas Republican, Michael McCaul, told Puck News.

    A new tranche of military, economic and humanitarian aid for Ukraine, worth around $60 billion, has been ensnared in Congress for months by infighting, causing deep concerns in Kyiv as Russian forces inch westward and gain territory while Ukrainian forces contend with shortages along the frontlines.

    A former American soldier has "seen the light" and joined the Russian military to fight Ukraine. It turns out the light he saw was an oncoming train in the tunnel. Specifically, it was child pornography charges in Rhode Island that motivated him to flee to a country that would not deport him to the U.S. to face charges. Hopefully, he will get what he deserves in Ukraine, whatever that might be.

    Is Russia’s New U.S. Propaganda Star Wanted on Child Porn Charges in Rhode Island?

    Every man, woman and child in Ukraine will be dead or enslaved if we wait until the U.S. "addresses" its own borders. The 2,000-mile southern border has been porous for hundreds of years now--did you think it could be closed off in a few years? Were you really that gullible?

    "Oh, NO! The baby's falling into the pool! And someone left the light on in the kitchen! I'll save the baby right after I turn the light off! I better close the window and adjust the thermostat while I'm in the kitchen. Are those fresh-baked cookies?" Yes, Trump republicans sound exactly that stupid.
