@Gleifel The Russians are NOT monolithic as the media would have you believe. Just because he has ties to Russians doesn't mean those Russians are pro-Putin. We must encourage the dissidents, not shun them because of their heritage.

@andypeutherer4218 How is he a Russian asset when he supplied Ukraine with military support in the form of arms and equipment? You have lost the plot dude. NO Russian agent would ever be assisting the people Russia is invading.

@Rjsjrjsjrjsj James Earl Carter was a lot worse than Trump. Unless you were born after 1980. But I get it, you have the myopia of tribalism and refuse to believe your lying eyes. "‘Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter (Joe Biden) loses his.’ -Ronald Reagan.

@rehabwales You would be surprised. Not everyone in the West is monolithic. Take the contrast between Neville Chamberlain and Winston Chruchill. There are MANY politicians in the west who are no different than the infamous appeaser.

@aekanshaggrawal The only people who believe that are people living off the misery of others.

What was it that Winston Chruchill said? "If you aren't a liberal before age 30 you have no heart, and if you are not a conservative after 35 you have no brain"?

The UK and the US haven't had REAL conservatives in office since the Reagan-Thatcher era. The so-called conservative politicians of the last 30 years are all liberals pretending to be something they are not.

Death rate as compared to what? Malaria, Tuberculosis, Ebola, Japanese Encephalitis, Cholera, Typhoid, Botulism, Yellow Fever (the virus, not the fetish), Bubonic Plague, Legionnaires disease, and Rabies all have much higher death rates than the Wuhan Flu and nobody bats an eye at them. Spare us your moral outrage.

Indeed. Calling hard line Brexit conservatives "Hooligans" shows a blatant bias that discredits him. Name-calling isn't virtuous in debate; it is a sign of desperation and shows one cannot effectively argue the merits. "When the argument is weak, abuse the plaintiff," -Marcus Tullius Cicero "When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser," -attributed to both Plato and Socrates.

@Sam-tt6oz For one, you are not outsourcing your sovereignty and rights to the Fourth Reich. But then I don't expect you to understand why the American colonies felt a need to break with the Crown in 1776. England's break with the EU was for the same reasons.

@Rjsjrjsjrjsj And yet your slobbering sycophancy over James Earl Carter proves my point. You are not grounded in reality because all of your pints and arguments are based exclusively on emotions, not data, logic, nor reason. Your "anyone who says otherwise is living in a fantasy world" is proof of that emotional derangement because it rejects the empirical data refuting your contention.

@ProlificInvention Trolling and hijacking a thread on a non-sequitur isn't virtuous, it is a mental derangement.

Indeed, the closest one COULD claim that England had one would have been Queen Victoria. Of all the British Royals, I think she could have claim to be Empress and it would have been acclaimed.

@andypeutherer4218 Who? BoJo or Corbyn?

Yeah, something tells me that "Orange Man" will return to the White House with a landslide the likes of which has not been seen since the Reagan blowout of Mondale in 1984.

@kazeryu4834 Decent people DID support Trump. It is the radical and violent leftist who oppose him. He said it himself; they are only after him BECASUE he is in the way. Elitists HATE populists like him. Are you an elitist who hold the "unwashed masses" in contempt? Me thinks you are.

@kazeryu4834 "Treason" is the favorite crime of tyrants and despots. It is funny how easily you throw that accusation around....much like a dictator does to dissidents. "Enemy of the state" are the words of villainy and evil. Seriously, you have an astounding lack of self-awareness. Support for the state is by definition support for fascism and totalitarianism. Your blind acceptance of the "official state narrative" speaks volumes about you. You are the very kind of person George Orwell was talking about in his famous novel. The only thing I DO agree with you on is that Trump was advised by some really bad people. Mike Pence was to Trump what Grima Wormtongue was to Thoden of Rohan in Lord of the Rings. And Jared Kushner was not that far behind.

@fra604 Yeah, sometimes it takes an outside to point out the blatantly obvious. You are the frog isn't in a boiling kettle lying to yourself that you are in a jacuzzi. You don't have the objective perspective because you are so stuck in the minutia. And you criticizing me for not having a valid argument simply because I am an American is a logical fallacy of appeal to authority. it is the classic tactic of despots and tyrants to silence valid and legitimate criticism. So tell me, does Brussels really make policy for the EU or is it really Berlin and Paris wo dictate terms? Poland has made NUMEROUS valid objections to how business in conducted in the EU, specifically calling out the Franco-German overrepresentation in that block. After having lived under the hell of Soviet-Russian despotism, they are calling out the very same tyranny in Brussels.
