  1. If Trump can't speak for himself, he has no business speaking for the country!
    805
  2. Vote all MAGA out this November so they can never embarrass us or our country like this ever again.
    379
  3. Does anybody find it unusual that Trump’s envoy to Ukraine is a retired general but Trump’s envoy to Russia is resort hotel real estate developer?
    246
  4. Everybody keep talking about Project 2025, please! Americans need to know what the GOP plan is before voting for or against it.
    240
  5. 1) A bully picks a fight with a smaller kid. 2) The smaller kid's friends gang up on the bully. 3) The bully says "This isn't fair, I'm the victim!". ...sorry Russia but we've all seen this story before.
    234
  6. Thank God a real Republican is taking a stand against MAGA.
    221
  7. I'm also a registered Republican voting a strict non-MAGA in the primary and a straight Democrat ticket in the general election. There is no longer a true Republican Party any longer. It's now just the Trump-MAGA party. There is no Republican Party remaining that I, as an American voter, identify with.
    209
  8. Putin’s biggest fear is a fair fight.
    122
  9. Assad is gone. Let's hope that Ukriane, Romania, Moldova, Georgia, Venezuela, and even Belarus can break free being Russian aggression!
    119
  10. As a physician, I had to go from private practice to corporate medicine about a year ago. It was my first time in the corporate world and I was blown away by the form over function, petty power plays, and most of all...the bullsh*t "corporate euphemisms" that say one thing but mean just the opposite. I'm going back to private practice.
    118
  11. Go France!
    101
  12.  @robbie4084 That would screw Ukraine if Orange wins the election (or steals it).
    81
  13. As a dad myself, when I saw the Ukrainian dads coming home from combat to see their children, I knew that those guys will fight the Russians with an intensity and purpose that exceeds that of even the Afghani mujahideen. For the Ukrainian soldiers, their heart and mind are aligned in one purpose, to save their loved ones and their home.

  14. Many hard core Trump devotees are going to need an "off ramp" for when they want to exit Trump Boulevard and turn onto The Rest of the World Street. Let them have a "fall for it" alibi as long as they rejoin the rest of us in middle class America.
    72
  15. Why are you not receiving Social Security benefits at age 69?
    69
  16. Elon Musk "world's smartest idiot".
    67
  17. For us working class Americans, Mr Russel understands that "united we bargain, divided we beg".
    67
  18. You kick ass and thank you!
    65
  19. Thank you for educating us. We wish the Slovakian people freedom and non corrupt political leadership!
    64
  20.  @comfortablynumb9342  I don't know the letter of the law but "FEMA money went to foreign countries" didn't pass the smell test.
    61
  21. I cannot comprehend why a group of people insist on giving another person more power and rights than the group members have. It just doesn't compute.
    60
  22.  @mariebrann6911  There is zero mention of a national religion in the Constitution, it's Amendments, nor the Bill of Rights. Where do you get that America is a Christian theocracy?
    60
  23.  @andrewford743  Despite a search, I could not find drone footage of Trump's Michigan rally. Please tell me your search terms are so I can do my own research. Thank you for standing by your statement.
    60
  24. 1) I do not like Mr. Johnson trying to force his Christian theocracy upon me or any other American. 2) I am instinctively suspicious of any man that is as submissive to another man like Johnson is to Trump.
    60
  25.  @dng6121  Wrong, this nation was founded on religious freedom and elective representation. However, if you'd care to point out to us where in the Constitution, it's Amendments, or the Bill of Rights where our founding fathers states that we are a Christian theocracy, many of us would love to see it with our own two eyes.
    58
  26.  @buck6604   1) So, are you saying that the Pledge of Allegiance determines our federal government's structure? 2) Fun fact: When did In God We Trust replace E Pluribus Unum as the national motto? 1956. In God We Trust was never mentioned by our founding fathers.
    52
  27. If Russia can use NK troops, it’s only fair that Ukraine can use NATO troops.
    51
  28. No more special treatment for the rich and/or powerful! One set of American laws that apply equally to all Americans. Period.
    48
  29.  @iLIKEpieMMM  We're talking about integrity, not academic ability.
    46
  30.  @mimcduffee86  For clarification, when I say power, I mean "laws for thee but not for me".  When it comes to the application of the law, I believe that we are all subject to the same law and must be held accountable. For example, rich kids get DUI's when they get caught drunk driving and can't get off the hook b/c daddy is rich and powerful. Do you feel differently about how the law in America should be applied?
    42
  31.  @autolife4180  Where does it state that we are a Christian theocracy in the documents that define how our government is structured? I'm referring to the Constitution, its Amendments, and the Bill of Rights.
    39
  32. If Trump is afraid to debate Harris a second time, he might as well pack up his traveling circus and go home. America doesn’t want to see weakness like that in our candidates.
    39
  33. I agree with you. There is a distinct difference between Neville Chamberlain and Mike Johnson. One's was a pacifist and the other is a traitor.
    38
  34.  @johnhotz1400  So, how did you get into the troll line of work?
    37
  35. I have never seen a more weak and spineless man in my life than Mike Johnson.
    36
  36.  @MrBudgiejoe  Well summarized. Thanks.
    35
  37.  @davemitchell6281  She doesn't care if they live or die. She will say anything to try and stop America from aiding Ukraine.
    34
  38.  @nowarwithrussiaandchina4667  Firstly, you’re level of propaganda is way above par. I want to give you public credit for that. You’re trying so hard to paint Ukraine as a US puppet. We all see it. In reality, you attacked Ukraine and Ukraine is fighting to defend their homeland…just like YOU would do. How d’ya feel about those facts?
    32
  39. Ukraine was responding to Russia’s massive missile and drone attack from several days prior.
    32
  40.  @lynnhuckaby3069  Please cite an internet reference so we can do our own research. The one you read is fine.
    31
  41.  @steellady1164  How many current IRS employees will soon lose their job if Trump wins and institutes Project 2025's Schedule F? Maybe I'm cautious but I don't F with the IRS.
    31
  42. If Vance is truly concerned about Iran gaining nuclear capability, then he needs to stop Iran from getting Russian assistance with Iran's nuclear program in exchange for Iranian missiles and drones.
    31
  43. Why isn't the legality of Musk's campaign contribution being investigated?
    30
  44. Jake, you have a remarkable ability to read between the lines and point out blind spots, such as the ideologies behind an action. I appreciate your take on things.
    30
  45.  @serenadevon  How exactly does "your vote go to noncitizens"? Please explain, if you can.
    30
  46.  @newdefsys  No, it's not like that at all.
    29
  47. Russia needs to pay the price for their aggression.
    29
  48. Professor Gerdes: Why do we keep seeing consistent support between far right candidates like Le Pen, Trump, and Farage for authoritarian leaders like Putin? What is the connection? Is it ideological, financial, etc?
    29
  49.  @FenryrGrey  That's a very high percentage for a political protest.
    29
  50.  @clydewmorgan  What has Buttigieg lied about? Thanks for backing up your claims.
    28
  51. Let's be honest with each other, this is shaping up between as a global conflict between western democracies vs (sounds like prick taters). On one side is Putin, Kim Jung Un, Ali Khomeini, as well as aspiring (sounds like prick taters) like Trump and Orban. The democratic side contains 78 democratic nations that signed the Ukraine Peace Plan in Switzerland in June 2024. If you're going to pick a side to support, all you have to ask yourself is what type of government do YOU want to live under? Yeah, it's that easy.
    28
  52. I like your peace plan. Very clean.
    28
  53. Actions speak louder than words, especially if the words are lies.
    28
  54. If French and Lithuanian troops were to secure the Belarus and Transnistria borders, it would open up a lot of manpower for Ukraine to fight on more active lines.
    27
  55. What is your point? @occamraiser 
    27
  56.  @bd8063 Historically, Manchuria is Chinese. And we all saw how keen Putin is about history during his interview with Tucker Carlson.
    26
  57. He's had a lot of help from Putin.
    25
  58. I saw a video of a new apartment complex built by Russia in Mariupol about a year ago. People moved in but we’re then moving out. Something didn’t work with the plumbing and the basement filled with liquid sewage.
    25
  59. The 2024 Republican voting method... 1) Vote for any Republican that has PUBLICLY called out Trump for being a criminal and bad for America. 2) If no Republicans fulfill the above criteria, vote Democrat...it's the only way to get Trump-MAGA out of our government. I'm a fiscal conservative and registered Republican. These are the rules that I made for myself. If it works for others, great!
    24
  60. I don’t care what opened your eyes. I just wanted to say welcome back.
    24
  61. Thank you! That Russian darkness doesn't get nearly enough media time.
    24
  62. ...and to lift any restrictions on where Ukraine can use those weapons.
    23
  63.  @AstroGremlinAmerican  Can we all agree that Trump is a terrible pick for America?
    23
  64. @TomoreniusTom They're talking about hitting the specialized repair machinery in the shops, not the scrapyard. "Don't shoot the arrow, shoot the archer."
    23
  65.  @Suggesttt  I can't tell if you misunderstood what he said or you're messing with him. Which one is it?
    23
  66. That’s the effect of “TrumpEnergy” on your town.
    23
  67.  @Mike_Baldwin  Why is it "fascist" to tear down statues of Confederate generals who fought to keep slavery in America? I've never seen a statue to Benedict Arnold either.
    23
  68. We’re trying! And voting!
    23
  69. One of the pillars in the Dictator's Cookbook is "a promised return to a mythical past that never really existed". Or something along those lines. Hence MAGA.
    23
  70.  @terrymoore861  No one is talking about "extending the war" and you know it. Russia and President Musk are saying "Ukraine must surrender to Putin". The rest of the free and democractic world is saying "Putin started this war and he should leave Ukraine". Both sides want peace but on very different terms. That's why Putin-Trump trolls like you are constantly talking about warmongers but NEVER include Putin and Russia in the category of warmonger, even though they started the war.
    23
  71.  @AstroGremlinAmerican  Looks like no one bit on your deflection bait. Maybe next time.
    22
  72. Agreed! Fight smart though!
    21
  73. If I were Trump at this stage in his career, I'd have people planted in the audience collapse so I could get out of answering questions that could further harm my campaign.
    21
  74.  @phoenixproject9393  What good happened? The only thing I remember is the ultra rich getting a huge tax break.
    21
  75.  @darkcasterpunkzero7870  Turns out that old military equipment is very handy when an ally needs it.
    21
  76.  @plum_bit  1) The bridges can be rebuilt in 4 years. 2) In America, we are still waiting to see if we’ll have truly democratic elections in 2028. Don’t wait around until that time.
    21
  77. Classy!
    20
  78.  @ELpeaceonearth  Unlike you, we live in free societies where our internet doesn’t get turned off if we disapprove of our own government.
    20
  79.  @gerryhouska2859  Way better than nothing, which is what Trump will give Ukraine.
    20
  80. Good on for the people of Slovakia!
    19
  81. From an American: European friends who believe in democracy and personal freedom, can you force the Hungarian people to choose between keeping Orban vs staying in the EU and not becoming the next Belarus?
    19
  82.  @YouilAushana  I don't think you understand what sedition means, or...you are intentionally trying to distract from the fact that Trump tried to overthrow our government in 2020. Is it a lack of knowledge with you or something more sinister?
    19
  83.  @Lord_Cointoss  No, that is not how all banks in the world work. In the free democratic world, banks give out loans that are low risk. In Russia, banks are forced to give out high-risk low-interest loans to Russian defense companies. The risk of defaulting on the loan is very high. If the Russian National Wealth Fund cannot cover the costs of the defaulted loans, the Russian banking sector will become more unstable.
    18
  84.  @SophiaIce  She couldn't express her opinions and remain safe in Russia. Of course she went to Georgia. Is your point that she has common sense?
    18
  85. Agreed! This is NOT radical, this is the way that it used to be and the way it should be again.
    18
  86.  RFLBFD  He is saying arrest people who are trying to overthrow American democracy, not arrest people that you disagree with.
    18
  87.  alastairwallace6153  He seems like the Churchill of Ukraine.
    18
  88.  @mrdyvig  Not if they're knocking out power to military targets.
    18
  89. Thank you!
    18
  90.  @ytsm  Do you have any idea how much it would cost to insure Russian oil and gas facilities that are within reach of Ukrainian drones? Come on man, be realistic.
    18
  91.  @bobkellough6144  Way better than what will happen if ztrump wins.
    17
  92.  @lynnhuckaby3069  Please cite your reference. This is now my second request.
    17
  93. Agreed.
    17
  94. @ Czechia is a great example of democracy and economic prosperity in a post Soviet bloc country. And a great ally to Ukraine!
    17
  95.  @danielowen5889  Translation: [Don't believe everything around you that you are seeing with your own eyes and hearing with your own ears. Believe me, not yourself.]
    17
  96.  @pete1342  I believe it's called "angertainment".
    17
  97. Trump crumbled in Putin's presence at that meeting.
    17
  98. Elon Musk heading the national Government Efficiency Commission...what's the worst that could happen?
    17
  99. I know! Man, that was a tight grouping!
    16
  100.  @peforster6725  He’s only succeeded in delaying his trials. However, his main goal was to delay the trials until after Nov 5th…which he accomplished with SCOTUS assistance.
    16
  101.  @neilgale8873  Then why did he have to pay all that money to E Jean Carroll? Are you going to say something “weaponized legal system” or “witch hunt”?
    16
  102. Women of America, cast your vote wisely this November unless you want this creeps views governing your life and your body. And MANY of us real American men support you!
    16
  103.  @GeoEstes  They could use a larger sea faring vessel as a Trojan Horse for Seababies.
    16
  104. As a straight white male who's married with a family and working a full time job...I'm actually ready to try some leaders that aren't old rich white men for once. Biden was too old for my comfort and now Trump is just as old as Biden was four years ago. America needs something new. We're stuck in a rut of the same ol' BS.
    16
  105.  @RedDoorPaintedBlack.  The MAGA strategy is still telling us "don't believe what you hear with your own ears and don't believe what you see with your own eyes".
    16
  106.  @SaketKumarAries  NATO did not explicitly and east. Eastern European countries ASKED to be part of NATO b/c they don’t trust Putin. There’s a big difference between reality and what you said.
    15
  107.  @BuIIet  My wife calls me cheap but I prefer "financially prudent". Your position is economically bad for us Americans. We can nip this in the bud now or we can pay a whole lot more to do it over a decade. Trust me, I work full time because I enjoy it.
    15
  108.  @rickgrims-qy3jq  I was getting the vibe that the enforcement of the existing laws was the issue.
    15
  109.  @Dtgray12  1) The 1st Amendment of the Constitution forbids establishing any national religion. That was the will of our founding fathers. 2) Are you referring to "In God we trust" that was first put on dollars in 1955? Our founding fathers chose the national motto E Pluribus Unum...but that was changed in the mid 1950's and, therefore, does not express the intent of our founding fathers or they would have chosen that to begin with.
    15
  110.  @power-corrupts  Trump was o weak and timid in Putin’s presence. Total effing embarrassment to America.
    15
  111.  @chadhaire1711  Are you sure about your claim that NATO violated the Minsk treaties? Are you referring to Minsk 1 or Minsk 2? I'd love to learn what you know.
    15
  112. Different but your idea makes good sense.
    15
  113.  @psychohist Russia desperately needs ports that don’t freeze over in the winter!
    15
  114.  @alpha42069  How did it NOT secure the border. No more vagueness.
    15
  115. You are correct Argy. But remember the line from the Big Lebowski when the Dude tells his buddy Walter, "It's not that you're not wrong Walter, it's just that you're an a$$hole." I'm not criticizing you because I do the same thing because language should be clear to avoid incorrect conclusions but my wife helps me balance it out. Take it easy Argy. I like the way your mind works. @Ajee02 
    15
  116.  @briansmith6862  That loophole needs to be done away with. Authoritarian states are going to capitalize on that one NATO rule by continuing low level skirmishes in countries that want to join NATO.
    15
  117.  @stayniftyGuyFaceMannPersonDude  Russia, the world’s “problem child”.
    14
  118.  @reneeurquidez3507  I'm not sure I'm catching your point with that sentence. Would you mind clarifying?
    14
  119.  @williamalexander9485  Russia is currently using their full capacity except for nukes.
    14
  120. As a fellow American, I must correct some of your assumptions. America has NOT given more money to Ukraine than Europe combined via the EU plus individual European countries. In addition, several European countries (specifically the Baltic states) have given a higher percentage of their annual GDP than the US has to Ukraine. Remember that our military budget is 3% of our GDP and we have given ~3% of our annual military budget to Ukraine. However, what is more important here is what happens to the large majority of the $ the we "give" to Ukraine. Approximately 80% (according to what I can find on line) will go to American arms companies to produce newer and more updated weapons to replace the old stocks of weapons that we give Ukraine at "replacement value", saving us the cost of weapons disposal (although we would be paying for the shipment of the old weapons). What "replacement value" means is that, for example, every ATACM built in the 1990's that we give Ukraine, the "replacement value" is the cost of the NEW ATACM that will go into American stockpiles. Hope this helps clarify what we are doing as Americans to defend democracy against Putin, Khomeini, and Kim Jung Un. @MrElliotc02 
    14
  121.  @JanWyman-dv1qh  They are hoping that we don't notice.
    14
  122.  @CurtisRichardson-qc3bk  I'm all for religion (any of them) that bring people together peacefully. However, the 1st Amendment explicitly states that the establishment of an official state religion is prohibited by law. Besides, real freedom is feeling your own freedom. Not accepting that your freedom has been granted to you by another.
    14
  123.  @FirstLast-dz7jc I don’t think you missed a single Kremlin propaganda lie. Now, back to reality.
    14
  124.  @11bob-zs9rz  The argument didn’t work then and it won’t work now.
    14
  125.  @ikponmwosaosuyi-egharevba140  Ukraine is a sovereign country. Ukraine chose the West over Russia b/c it's a better deal for them. Either offer better deals or get over it.
    14
  126.  @chadhaire1711  Hey Chad, why don't you educate us as to exactly HOW "nato started this war back in 2015". Don't be afraid to back up what you say Chad.
    14
  127.  @weirdo1060  Trump didn't know sh*t. He just started rambling adjectives.
    14
  128. I've been thinking the same. He is a wolf trying to disguise himself as a Christian lamb.
    14
  129.  @rogerrussell9544  For artificially inflating/deflating his property values for loan/tax purposes to game the system. But the sedition trials have not yet begun.
    14
  130.  @Arjay.M88  I value dissenting opinions such as yours. However, I respectfully disagree. RKF just doesn't have the popular appeal to beat Trump, whereas Harris has a fighting chance to succeed in beating Trump. Mathematically, "a vote for RFK is a vote for Trump." That's why so many Trump trolls are getting on sites like this one to try and dissuade Americans from voting for Harris.
    14
  131. Thank you. This needs to be highlighted. Russia always picks a fight. When the other country (or countries) defends itself against Russia, Russia always cries like a spoiled child. Time for the JEF to shut down the Baltic Sea.
    14
  132.  @solarchaos3345  Bullshit. It takes time to learn that. You and I know both know that you’re trust in coworkers has been betrayed before. It’s universal and it applies to you too.
    13
  133. I think the operative word in your sentence is "heard" and not "read". The Musk post on X stated that the lost billions were sitting in US warehouses, waiting to be delivered...but you had to read all the way down to the third sentence.
    13
  134. Katie Britt is a Stepford Senator.
    13
  135.  @sittingonariver WTF does that have to do with him getting a Cabinet position. Do you think he wouldn’t move back to America to serve his country again?
    13
  136. Damn, that was good.
    13
  137.  @snow200ful  Great plan, if you want Trump to be prez.
    13
  138.  @MelioraCogito  Great and pertinent quote! Thank you.
    13
  139. The only solid proof of anyone trying to rig and steal the 2020 election that I've seen is Trump's slates of fake Electors and the Raffensperger phone call.
    13
  140. I know. It’s absolutely fucking bonkers talk.
    13
  141. "Fake bullshit" is another way to describe what Simonyan is doing.
    13
  142. I barely knew the name Buttigieg until a week or two ago. But he is incredibly well spoken (like Jake Broe). A breath of fresh air for us nerds that like logic and common sense.
    13
  143. Not if we keep our eyes open and our minds clear.
    13
  144.  @nicnac921  No peace with bullies because that only empowers bullies. Stand up and fight against dictators like Putin and his allies Xi, Ali Khomeini, Kim Jong Un...as well as wannabe dictators like Urban and Trump.
    13
  145.  @Austin-oy4yo  The numbers aren't looking that way.
    13
  146.  @DanaProca-x6i  Russia did NOT create the UN / League of Nations. You’re a liar.
    12
  147. The stranger thing is that I think he knows he's smart but somehow deficient. I read a "world's richest man" interview with Musk that occurred after his divorce. The interviewer asked him if he was happy. Musk said that he wasn't sad by any means but he wasn't convinced that humans could be totally happy without being in love. Part of Elon believes that Elon is missing a "part" that makes him truly lovable, like she'd marry him if he was a truck driver instead of a billionaire.  It's like the tin man in the Wizard of Oz. Trust me, I'm Aspergers with the ability to empathize. Probably not as much as you but it's there. It's also entirely possible that I could be totally off.
    12
  148.  @morenothing4u  You “conveniently” forgot that Putin invaded Ukraine.
    12
  149. Trump is white trash born with a silver spoon in his mouth. That's a bad combo.
    12
  150.  @AmaraYeo  Oh, I’m not here to convince MAGA of anything. I am aware that is futile. I’m just here to remind the rest of my fellow Americans.
    12
  151. I think that's a new campaign slogan for Trump. "Loyalty over legality".
    12
  152.  @Navigator2166  Agreed! Authoritarianism is on the rise globally.
    12
  153.  @ILuvRum  If Trump would quit telling Republicans to NOT support bipartisan border bills, we could have already handled a big part of this problem. But no, Trump has to use this as a campaign point so he can't have it solved now without him.
    12
  154. As Russia gets weaker due to ongoing losses in Ukraine, we will see other smaller countries like Georgia and Moldova becoming more bold in their opposition to Putin's threats. The Russian bear is losing it's teeth in Ukraine, soon it will have no bite left outside of Ukraine.
    12
  155. A North Korean soldier gets "bought" by Putin but the money goes to Kim Jung Un. That soldier is not told that he is going to combat. When he finds himself in combat, both his fellow troops as well as the Russians will kill him if he gets injured and is at risk of being captured. Perfect example of how dictatorships, like Russia and North Korea, use people as pawns. Democracies vs Dictators, which side do you want to be on? What about for your family?
    12
  156.  @jamesdouthat3999  How do we know the judge is biased?
    12
  157. Always start with the most basic facts such as "Russian invaded Ukraine and started this war". And stick to basic facts. Do not get lost in the labyrinth of confusion that they are well trained at creating. "There's a thousand ways to lie but only one way to tell the truth."
    11
  158. Thank you! I keep saying the same and it always seems to not generate any response.
    11
  159. I can guarantee that Putin doesn't want that to happen and won't do it unless absolutely necessary. However, the fact that the Duma is already discussing it points towards economic desperation.

  162.  @esra_erimez  I don't remember that. I don't think that you remember that either. But I'm open to dissenting opinions. How's about you throw us some references for what you're yammering on about. PS How do I know that you're human?

  165.  @billquakenbush1692  To throw people like you off the scent. You're terrible at international espionage.

  169. I see that no Trump trolls touched your comment!
    11
  170.  @FoxtrotYouniform  There are multiple factors to consider. However, Malcolm’s point is correct. If China’s going to retake Manchuria, they will do it when Russia is weakest. And we can bet that China is reading these conversations to “assess public opinion”.

  179.  @vaclovasverikaitis4172  Looking at local numbers of estimated casualties (the exact numbers aren't important to me nor Putin) divided by the square surface area on updated battle maps...what do think we're all looking at? If you don't mind terribly Vaclov, may I ask you just one question? Why do you personally choose to support Vladimir Putin? I'm just curious. Thank you for answering.

    10
  191. Congratulations and welcome!
    10
  192. That was incredibly well phrased! Thank you. I’ve been saying for two years now that the new Cold War has become “democracies vs dictators”. Smaller countries MUST decide or they risk being invaded by a more powerful dictatorship. Thanks again for your succinct clarity.

  195.  @CraigAnderson-h2h  But we still elected our representatives in a democratic fashion that is true and valid, unlike Russia. That's the difference that matters.
    10
  196.  @bjkyzar9450  We're basically reduced to Biden who will keep the democracy and the peaceful transition of power intact vs Trump who wants an authoritarian state (under him) and to be prez for life...which is not a president, that's a king. Those are our two options in America.
    10
  197. I've been watching the ratio of Russian KIA/WIA per square kilometer of Ukraine occupied since the Feb 2022 invasion. Currently, the going rate is a little over 8.8 Russian KIA/WIA per square kilometer of Ukriane. The down side for the Russian military is that most of their staggering losses are for Ukrainian farm fields and small farming villages.

  203. Russia broke their promise from the Budapest Memorandum by invading Ukraine. The US and the UK broke their promise within the Budapest Memorandum by not helping Ukraine against an invader. So who’s more guilty? The one who invaded Ukraine or the one who failed to defend Ukraine from that invader? Are you able to answer that question?

  207.  @mks6148  AZ is a swing state that Trump desperately needs. Reminding Arizonans of how he treated Rusty Bowers is important when/if Trump goes to AZ. I would imagine that Kari Lake could also benefit from the reminder of what kind of people these are in their souls.

  209.  @Lisazab  I was talking about the very same thing with my wife the other day. Sounds like Biden may have to take a "Presidential action" to prevent Trump from either cheating or fighting his way back into the WH...utilizing the Supreme Court granted immunity. How rich would that be?

  293.  @dean_l33  I'm pretty sure they are referring to Republicans blocking all American aid to Ukraine for ~8 months because of Trump's order to do so. I know, Trump doesn't currently hold any political office currently, but the GOP follows his orders anyway.

  295.  @jimboswell4818  Also, I don't like liars and hypocrites. If the border crisis was being taken seriously by Republicans (insteand of an election point), the Republicans could have already handled the majority of our border problem by working on bipartisan solutions. I'm tired of MAGA's games.

  313. Forget about "weird". Focus on how Trump tried to overthrow American democracy in 2020: 1) Slates of fake Electors in 7 swing states. 2) Pence publicly stating that Trump pressured him to recognize the fake Electors over the real Electors. 3) The recorded Raffensperger phone call where Trump tells him to "find 1,780 votes". All three of these things are federal felonies, attempts to overthrow our government, and easily provable.
    6
  314. I'm not a genius but I'm not dim either. When I listen to people like Solvyov, I'm impressed by how polished their mind tricks are. I hear something and it sounds off somehow. But I have to pause the video to think exactly why what he said doesn't make sense, ie how the logic was twisted. My wife is very bright but not so up to speed on this war. She can watch a Solovyov monologue and will only hear macho flexing but never hear the breaks in logic. We would do ourselves a favor to acknowledge this fact to better identify, better understand, and better overcome it. It really is the ultimate weapon.

  317. The fact of the matter is unchanged... America is not a Christian country. It's a country where you are free to be a Christian (or any other religion you choose).
    6
  318.  @rebelliousfew  Of course Russia has adapted. However, I would argue that the biggest benefit for America has come directly from the R&D gathered from Putin's war. As America sends its out dated weapons stocks, it gets vital information on Russia's current weapons capability. That's huge.
    6
  319.  @mallurypollard7815  It's also fair to say that you are reaching on this one. Even the president of The Heritage Foundation Kevin Roberts publicly states that THF has been working on this project since shortly after Biden assumed office in January 2021. Also, we shouldn't forget that multiple chapters within Project 2025 were written by Trump's own White House staff.

Orban (Putin's loyal lap dog) just did his own "Peace tour" where he went from Kyiv (to beg Zelensky to accept all of Putin's demands), to Moscow, to Beijing, to America. But Orban did not fly to DC. Orban flew directly to Mar-a-Lago. For anybody watching the big picture, it's very clear that a global game of "democracies vs dictators" is forming. And Trump is on the wrong side as he is siding with Putin, Xi, and Kim Jong Un. Do you support democracy or dictators? If you live in a democractic country, you are free to make your own choice. If you live in a dictatorship, you are not free to express your decision. Where do you stand on this issue?

  333.  @jkarra2334  Dude, you're just gonna have to do better than that. It's like your taking the stage to rap but you're only stuttering into the mic.
    6
  334.  @merocaine  We didn't start the fight. You did.
    6
  335. Good point. Thanks!
    6
  336.  @nc5145  Why do you keep posting the exact same comment. Are you a bot?
    6
  337.  @Neverforget1967  Israel asked for weapons, and we gave them to Israel.
    6
  338.  @clarkeorchard2304  Agreed. Russia keeps paying itself very well to keep their GDP and the ruble artificially above water...borrowed time.
    6
  339. Paraphrased well. Thank you!
    6
  340.  @rebelliousfew  Sounds like a lot of cope from both of you; one pro Ukraine, the other pro Russian.
    6
  341.  @annengelbos5316  And if you can't fight, give. And if you can't give, be vocal. Viva Ukraine baby!
    6
  342. Yeah, mostly apartment buildings, cancer treatment centers, schools, the occasional children's hospital, dams...you know, that type of thing.
    6
  343.  @lorneyoung6298  To lose his money, power, and influence. Basically, Trump being a normal average American would humble and humiliate Trump. Humiliate is the key word here. Trump claims to be fighting for the average American but you can't unsee that he despises poor people.
    6
  344.  @tariredom7615  Please educate me how this NATO "expansion" occurs. Thank you!
    6
  345.  @judeflynn9223  If you or I did what Trump did, we’d already be in jail. The rich and powerful should NOT get special treatment from the law that us common people don’t get!
    6
  346.  @michaelpowers3301  Doesn't exist.
    6
  347. If you place money and/or power over what you stand for, it's feasible.
    6
  348. Doesn’t your statement justify theft? If I were to steal something of yours, does that mean that it is now rightfully mine?
    6
  349. This is so true. And entirely feasible.
    6
  350. From America, thank you for your work as well Operator Starsky!
    6
  351. It's symbiotic. Ukraine gets the weapons that it needs to fight off Russia and the collective West gets a boost to their economies. Its a "win win" situation.
    6
  352.  @MsDc52  I'm tired of people trying to tell me what Trump "really meant". If he can't speak for himself, he has no business speaking for the nation. Period.
    6
  353.  @Katoshi_Takagumi That answer was a riot!
    6
  354.  @robertw1962  I agree. I'm blown away that machine works so well. It must be giving off a signal that I can't hear.
    6
  355.  @davidthenotorious3600  Wrong. Mostly old US weapons.
    6
  356.  @todharter5195 Forget the past, it’s over and done with. Let’s focus on the current administration’s betrayal of an ally.
    6
  357. It's an avoidance of cognitive dissonance.
    6
  358.  @franceyneireland1633  Just goes to show you that Putin, Trump, and Orban are in on the same deal.
    6
  359.  @JulianCooke-yn5lh  Democracies vs dictatorships. Pick your side Julian.
    6
  360.  @KT-lo4qo Yeah, but Ukraine didn’t start this war. Putin started this war.
    6
  361. How is Harris like him?
    6
  362. Vote Blue so we can get past this nightmare!
    6
  363. Thank you for tracking this information! The last time that a Russian government plane was in the US, it sat beside Trump's plane for a few hours in a Virginia airport.  It would be helpful to know who is meeting with the passengers of the Russian plane landing at JFK😉
    6
  364.  @stephenglover1818  We would love to actually see your "facts" for the first time ever. Please show us! The floor is yours.
    6
  365.  @stephenglover1818  Um, I hate to say this but those are only vague accusations, not facts. Now come on, you can do this Stephen, I believe in you. Show us your facts. You've got us all waiting on pins and needles!
    6
  366.  @lecorbusier6791  Sad but true.
    6
  367.  @EUGEN093  You're looking at the past. We are talking about the modern era.
    6
  368.  @serenadevon  No. When certain products rise in price way beyond the average inflation rate, it means one of two things... 1) There is a unique supply-demand issue around that certain prodcuct, or 2) Retailers are price gouging.
    6
  369.  @wiliam1827  However, if people are pursuing truly fascist goals, then it is justified...as in this case.
    6
  370.  @Comm.DavidPorter  The existing laws were enforced by the current administration. When Senator Lankford, a conservative Republican, introduced a much tougher border bill that would have solved many of our immigration problems, Trump told his followers to squash the new immigration bill because he wanted to run in 2024 on this issue. Lets keep our facts straight.
    6
  371.  @MaseTrue  How dare Judge Luttig stand up for American freedom and democracy! (Clutch your pearls)
    6
  372.  @jeffreyhanc1711  I'm an American too and I 100% agree with you. And that getting off our asses and voting is make or break for this election.
    6
  373. Agreed. And thanks for the Idiocracy reference..."The only comedy that became a documentary."
    6
  374.  @af6096  When it comes to Trump, I just keep saying in my head "The King has no clothes"...and it seems clear as day to me. Thanks for reminding me that I'm not crazy.
    6
  375. @SnorriTheLlama I was thinking the same thing. That insurance would cost $$$$$
    6
  376.  @yoboi13  Thank you. People like you remind me that I'm not the crazy one here.
    6
  377.  @francois-xaviergonnet7216  Especially if it's your child who is military age. My tax dollars are better spent sending weapons to Ukraine fight Putin's slaves rather than sending American troops to the Baltic states, Poland, or Romania to fight Putin's slaves. To me, sounds like your children would never have to go to war so you talk a big talk.
    6
  378.  @BBlair-if8tj  How so? What do you mean?
    6
  379.  @tsuki_moon.1  Both sides have that capability. But we have not sent our newest weapons to Ukraine. Seems the West doesn’t want to destroy Russia for fear of “loose nukes” in hands of warlords.
    6
  380. Thank you!
    5
  381. Thank you to the people of Slovakia!
    5
  382. Interesting. You've presented a long list of claims with zero evidence to back it up. Do you know why you did that? I do. It's because it is really difficult to back up lies with verifiable facts.  @championknife

  386.  @johannesvalterdivizzini1523  Great reference! Try this... Putin: Do you see the method in my madness soldier? Cast Willard: I don't see any method, sir.

  387.  @jl6332 That’s dumb. NATO spending a nickel now will save them a dollar later on. Are you in charge of your own personal finances? I hope not.

  388. @ I propose a correction. “The people who will stab you in the back are the same ones who stopped growing in high school.

  389.  @jean-michelvanpruyssen936  Thank you!
    5
  390.  @frogger1580  Agreed. Focus on what can be done at this late date. 1) Vote 2) Hope the media runs with this info extensively!
    5
  391.  @jamiemacdonald208  Pretty high and mighty with the English as a second language crowd, aren't you?
    5
  392. People play along like it isn't distinctly different from a decade ago but it is different.
    5
  393.  @phoenixmodellingphotography  Your meshing two different things together. 1) Most of our founding fathers were Christian. From what little I have read, they were predominantly Deists. 2) Despite the large majority of our founding fathers being Christian, they intentionally created the American government to NOT have an established religion. After all, wasn't religious freedom one the main reasons the Pilgrims left England for the new world?
    5
  394.  @theredscourge What exactly did Zelensky say that started the argument? Let’s see some quotes…b/c the rest of us aren’t hearing what you seem to be hearing.
    5
  395. The trolls jumped on your comment aggressively. That means you're on to something that they are paid to squash. Keep on telling the truth!
    5
  396.  @barnabasigari3109  fair enough, thanks.
    5
  397.  @yellowtunes2756  You have got to do better. 1. Putin hasn't been to North Korea since 2000. 2. It's not about Zelensky and NATO. It's about a "global superpower" begging for weapons from the world's most oppressive hermit kingdom. 3. What's Russia exporting to the US that it can't do for its self? Russia used foreign tech to fund their mineral wealth. Then got drunk on their wealth from the mineral resources and pissed off the foreign tech.
    5
  398.  @USA92  That person was only saying "Country over party". It's not a complex statement.
    5
  399.  @JohnB3363  I've spent a fair amount of time in Europe. All of the Europeans think that Americans are idiots for having Trump as president. They call him "the American Berlusconi" after the Italian politician.
    5
  400.  @NickiDee-tm1qs  Hold Trump legally accountable for attempting a failed coup in 2020. That's what our country should do.
    5
  401.  @muhammedallah386  Well said!
    5
  402. It IS treason.
    5
  403. Thank you!!!
    5
  404. @ Great idea!
    5
  405. If I have to choose between personal freedom for me and my family vs dealing with the homeless, I'll choose freedom every day. Your example is like saying that slavery provides free housing.
    5
  406.  @dBanzy  That's total bullsh*t. Show us the reference. Can you?
    5
  407.  @joyceborning  Why are they not comparable?
    5
  408.  @claudiopereira9900  If international trade didn't exist you would be correct. However, international trade does exist. Therefore, entirely self sufficient countries will be financially much much poorer.
    5
  409. We do need a change. Thank you for putting country over Trump.

  410. Your mom’s a smart badass!

  411.  @danielmiller3781  I know! Every keeps forgetting to say "WTF ever, we have a bunch of 'em too! Now shut up about it."
    5
  412.  @jasminet_ga  Mars’ job is to make you feel that you’ve overreacted and to think “move along, nothing to see here”.
    5
  413.  @theearthadorned  Didn't know about that site. Thanks! I'll look it up.
    5
  414.  @droidism  That doesn't even make sense. A "1200 km long movie set"...you're going to need better pro-Putin propaganda.
    5
  415. It’s now “democracies vs dictators” on the main stage.
    5
  416.  @Gumpmachine1  Nope, for the reason that I previously gave.
    5
  417. @ Incorrect. NATO membership is the easy answer. Ukraine gets NATO membership and the US-Ukraine money train goes into effect.
    5
  418. @ NATO's Article 5 would be hard to not honor. Even if the US didn't honor their Article 5 agreement, the remaining NATO members likely would. Since the failure of Minsk 1, Minsk 2, and the Budapest Memorandum...it's understandable why Ukraine seeks a NATO guarantee.
    5
  419.  @HumbleRose-rg3qp  For starters, Unitary Executive Theory and Schefule F are both “king makers”.
    5
  420. Agreed!
    5
  421. Agreed! Let’s learn from our mistakes and from our successes!

  425. I'm another Texan supporting Ukraine. Thanks for your support!
    5
  426.  @mrsmerily  As opposed to living under Putin?
    5
  427. I agree. This is a pleasant surprise.
    5
  428.  @ChristyBermingham It’s what we’re trying to prevent from occurring in the US by keeping Trump out of office.
    5
  429. A bully picked a fight with a smaller kid. The smaller kid's friends ganged up on the bully. The bully said "This isn't fair!". ...we've heard this story before; Russia's argument isn't anything new.
    5
  430.  @ILoveBluePeople  Important point often overlooked! Thank you.
    5
  431.  @conniefrank6895  We’re all feeling what you’re feeling. Hopefully this will be over soon.
    5
  432. I’m another average working American man with a great wife and a great daughter. Protecting my daughter from Trump’s Heritage Foundation religious inquisition is something any dad can understand. I’m a fiscal conservative and a registered Republican but it’s straight blue down the ballot for me this time.
    5
  433.  @Rob-hy8vb  Are you sure about your claim? Please cite your references to back up your claim. Thank you Rob.
    5
  434. You are correct. I don't know how much of an effect it will have...a lot, I hope!
    5
  435.  @Charles-ij1ow  Um, you're acting as if we can't google that info as well. In reality, Russian banks have been ordered to make the dollar so expensive that the average Russian will not be able to afford to exchange rubles for dollars, thus preventing the ruble from collapsing. If you understand this differently, please educate me. Thank you Paul.
    5
  436. Why is Russia continuously surprised and offended when anybody retaliates against their aggression? When Russia hits someone, why do they continue to say “that’s not fair!” when the person they struck hits back?

  437.  @mikep5731  Besides abortion and no-tax-on-tips, what is the difference between Project 2025 and Trump's Agenda 47?
    5
  438.  @intuitionz1198  Fair enough.
    5
  439. Are you referring to natural gas and oil or something else?
    5
  440. Thanks for that info!
    5
  441. Agreed. This is shaping up to be a global "democracies vs dictators" fight.
    5
  442.  @huntfishgeographic9618  Your statement made the hair on the back of my neck stand up...because what you said is true.
    5
  443.  @Rohan123-b9t  Why do YOU support Putin? Just asking.

    5
  446.  @joeschmoe3665  Thank you for seeing the forest and not getting lost in the trees. You are absolutely correct. So strange that a big chunk of American society sees things very differently from you and me.
    5
  447.  @bjkyzar9450  Isn't that embedded within the Ukrainian constitution; no national elections during a war?
    5
  448.  @jamesdouthat3999  Which states will have begun voting by Sept 18th? I thought the newscaster said early voting will begin Sept 20th.
    5
  449.  @timothysalinas37  How you go down the list tells me that you must be one of two things: a) A paid troll or... b) An unthinking parrot that regurgitates what it hears. Which one is it?

  458. Useful info. Thanks!
    5
  459.  @MrArkaneMage  A Russian did this to other Russians, it wasn't a westerner. Think about it Mage. You are only able to see your side and seem to be incapable of seeing the other equally valid side of the same coin.
    5
  460.  @MrArkaneMage  Hi Mage. Please answer my original question, "Is it immoral to kill killers so they don't continue to kill?" It's a very straight forward question. Please be so kind as to answer it:)
    5
  461.  @Gabedudley1  Who?
    5
  462.  @paulekechukwu8481  Then why is a small country like Ukraine been holding waves of Russian attacks for the last 2.5 years…with one arm tied behind their back?

  467. @ That hasn’t occurred in America. You are only here to try and sow division among Americans. We study your ways and learn from you.
    4
  468.  @charlesconnaughton7292  Same thing.
    4
  469. Trump's post is nothing more than the exact same Kremlin talking points that we've already been seeing in Jake's comments section. Some verbatim.
    4
  470.  @davidthenotorious3600  How has the word democracy been weaponized?
    4
  471.  @davidthenotorious3600  Oh, I'm aware. I wanted to hear your words on the matter.
    4
  472.  @CheapCheerful As an American, I am NOT supporting our lack of action in 2014. Please understand that the Russian invasion of Crimea got very little coverage. And the little media coverage that it did receive made it sound like a regional skirmish like the “Hatfields and McCoys”.
    4
  473. @ He is Trump’s envoy in the Middle East…same guy.
    4
  474.  @richardsteiner8992 We really need to reverse Citizens United.
    4
  475. Am I oversimplifying this when I say this whole global thing is shaping into "democracies vs dictators"? Unfortunately, Trump is on the wrong side of that line.
    4
  476. Because the Russian people live in a dictatorship. Speaking out in Russia will get you imprisoned quickly. Torture and murder are also possible, such as Navalny.
    4
  477.  @leemontoya8028  You break anything down. You stated a vague opinion. If you want to “break it down”, show us why America needs the same person who tried to overthrow American democracy in 2020 as #47. We’ll be waiting for your well thought out and logical response.
    4
  478. No, this video was made b/c Trump and MAGA are trying to hide their policy platform from the American public b/c they know their own platform will lose at the polls. Unitary Executive Theory, Schedule F, and the dismantling of the Dept of Education with no back up plan are all election losing points. That's why Trump put a fresh coat of paint on Project 2025 and called it Agenda 47.

  479. "Look what you made me do to you!" -Putin
    4
  480.  @yyyy-uv3po  As an American, I can tell you that the results of the November 2024 presidential election will be the sole determinant if America continues to support Ukraine or if America tacitly supports Putin. I hope we vote with our heads on straight.
    4
  481. Zelensky’s missile is bigger than Trump’s missile.
    4
  482. The old Cold War was "capitalism vs communism". The new Cold War is "democracies vs dictators".

  483.  @chetpomeroy1399  Agreed. "History doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes."
    4
  484.  @randyellis9460  We are concerned specifically about: Unified Executive Theory, Schedule F, the disbandment of the Dept of Education without any replacement plan, etc, etc. Just b/c some parts of it are ok doesn't mean you can ignore the parts that aren't ok. Fair enough?
    4
  485.  @Psychonaut165  I turned to my wife at that exact same time and said “WTF is going on?”.

  491.  @TrumpwonTwi2ce  I just wanted to give you credit for typing the same two responses over and over but getting few bites on your bait. Most people would have given up but you didn't.
    4
  492.  @colonelangus8247  Way more than you’ve done for Russia. PS Why do YOU support Putin?
    4
  493. He wasn't stating who had military bases where. He was stating HOW hezbollah is receiving arms. You're very sensitive about this topic, possibly overly sensitive.
    4
  494.  @jasonbrown3925  Trump is not a religious man by any means. However, he is working together with Christian Nationalists who very much want to create a Christian theocracy in America. They say it in Project 2025 and they've said it on video.
    4
  495. Vance is more in alignment with Putin than with Ukraine.
    4
  496.  @KarateDrSanDiego  I don't know but I agree with your concern.
    4
  497.  @дмитрийчеканов-б1х  Incorrect logic. Putin invaded Ukraine and now Ukraine is fighting for its existence against Putler. The US never invaded Cuba and Cuba never had to fight for its existence against the US. You are relying on false analogies.
    4
  498.  @Unotjari-p9y  And the fact that Musk hangs out in the exact same oval office during press conferences dressed not even as nicely as Zelensky. But then again, Muck can do that because he's Trump's boss.

  508.  @daniellarson3068  "The freedom of individual negotiation" 😂😂😂. I've had to negotiate contracts with corporations in the recent past. What you just said is a sarcastic riot! I don't belong to a union but I have seen the truth in the old union saying "Collectively we bargain, individually we beg".

  509.  @DancingInTheRuins  Only the truth is funny, no matter how dark.

  510. Agreed. I disagree with Pence on many issues but he did save American democracy on J6 when he upheld the Constitution. Give credit where credit is due.
    4
  511. He wasn't talking about the US attacking Mexico. He was talking about Mexico attacking the US with some missiles that Russia gives them. Yeah, we all know that won't happen since neither Mexico nor the US has anything to gain from that.

  512.  @GeorgeGzirishvili Thanks. I learned from that.
    4
  513. Agreed.

  514.  @lovemanunited1234  No they doubt. The US alone has almost as many as Russia. Combine the US with UK and France, giving NATO more than Russia. Nice try though.

  515. Is Russia the second country?

  516.  @nc5145  I only asked about the bot b/c you put the exact same comment out multiple times...seemed like a bot but could just be you copy and pasting the same comment over and over.

  517.  @SokemRokemRobot  Because of all the money the US has given them over decades. Israel needs to pay their debt to America.

  520.  @RochendilGaming  Honestly, it doesn’t matter what Mr Gorbachev said although I feel that he is a good man who did good things for the USSR in terms of bringing openness as well as the possibility of a true democracy and economic prosperity for the Soviet working class people…but Putin has squashed all of that potential. The reality is that many former Soviet republics have sought NATO protection against Russian threats. There was no NATO expansion. These countries ASKED to be in NATO voluntarily. If Russia had acted in a cooperative way, rather than an intimidating way, they would not be surrounded by NATO members. Russia is reaping what it has sown.

  521.  @donaldleblanc9132  Russia has a long history of nationalizing private equity. American investors won’t go for that risk.
    4
  522. Hi Trevor! You're one of my favorite trolls and I can always find you lurking somewhere around Jake Broe. For some reason, you failed to mention that Russia has been saying they can win this war since the day they invaded Ukraine 3 years ago. Why is that?
    4
  523. To clarify your response Kam, Russia has a much larger inventory of weapons than Ukraine. However, the large majority of those weapons are moth balled across Russia and Putin's military cronies are having trouble with the logistics of repairing and transporting the mass of Soviet era weapons.

  524.  @nataliiateteruk585  I think MAGA will delay the certification at the county/state level until the House of Rep invokes the 12th Amendment.
    4
  525.  @Mars2152  I agree with your sudden kumbaya. However, your prior post about Project 2025 / Agenda 47 being nothing of concern is absolutely untrue. The most concerning thing is that you know it is concerning but you support it. Peace Mars.
    4
  526.  @AstroGremlinAmerican  Hi Grem. We can both agree that the American economy is currently very strong. Do you agree? If not, on what grounds?
    4
  527. I like your idea. The food drops should contain instructions for how to surrender with promises that they will be housed, fed, and treated according to the Geneva convention.

  528.  @rorychivers8769  Chilling but true.

  529.  @danl5592  America has the financial wealth to float the debt. Russia does not. America has individual states with higher annual GDP's than the entire country of Russia.

  531.  @primitiveaccommodation  The one thing that you have not yet done is cite your reference of "Half million Ukranian soldiers lost so far". Now go do your own homework and get back to us once you've accomplished that.

  536.  @stevehill4615  I agree. Why is this not a very normal strategic move?
    4
  537.  @506thparatrooper  Nobody denies that Trump gave the Ukranians javelins. The real story is that Trump witheld the javelins and tried to squeeze info out of the Ukranians about his political opponent to be used in the upcoming election. If I remember these events incorrectly, please direct me to a reliable reference to learn otherwise.
    4
  538.  @TheNightshotBR  Oh god, another one of those people that want to say the US is a democratic republic. Enough semantics, get on with some substance. That's like me criticizing your capitalization or punctuation.
    4
  539.  @Thetequilashooter1  Why don't you just answer your own question and search "how much have countries given to Ukraine as a percent of their GDP?". If you type in that one single sentence, we can stop having this discussion.
    4
  540.  @LibraInSeattle  Maybe to some degree. The primary reason was to delay the case until after the election to avoid bad press and more legal entanglements for Trump.
    4
  541.  @jonlundt1846   That was pretty good trolling. 1) You creating the narrative that since Trump never said the words "I'm entitled" verbatim, it can't apply to him. Kind of like if someone feels like they are better than YOU, if they never say it, it can't be so. 2) Deflect to the economy and the border but be careful not to mention the current stock market, inflation rates at 3.0%, or Trump scuttling the Republican sponsored bipartisan border security bill. 3) And, of course, never mention Agenda 47/ Project 45, slates of fake Electors in seven swing states to try and steal the 2020 election, or that ever pesky Raffensperger phone call.

  545.  @davidsmithsmith5679  Sounds like it's getting more difficult to get additional soldiers, unless contract offers become much more lucrative for the common Russian.
    4
  546.  @davidsalo8397  Trump is disgusted by his poor supporters.
    4
  547.  @akrenwinkle  I agree. I think "traitor" is a more mature and accurate description for Trump.
    4
  548.  @Ohio_Against_The_World yes b/c I want to live in a democracy.

  549. Great lesson. Thanks! I certainly hope that rationale applies to all of Russia's equipment (and troops).

    4
  557.  @dpelpal  ?
    4
  558.  @bryan805  I can’t speak for that person but I thought Mr Dans was lying that Trump had minimal involvement with P2025. Even I watched Trump’s speech in April 2022 where Trump talked about how great the Heritage Foundation was and bragged about how many of its policies goals his administration enacted.
    4
  559.  @Tola5657  I agree with you, it is just an interview. However, if I were interviewing someone and they said something that didn't seem to add up, I would ask them a follow up question on that statement.

    4
  563.  @LACHIVA1969  I am thoroughly anti-Putin and pro-Ukraine but Robert has a good point. Russia's big metal boxes are too easily targeted by drones in modern warfare. Dividing the "calvary on metal horses" up into isolated attackers makes it harder for drones to hit. Fast moving motorcycles would also be tough to target with distant artillery. Honestly, I think the best answer is something like a Bradley with EW gear or a few old-fashioned machine gun nests (if they don't get hit by drones or artillery).
    4
  564.  @unfamiliarenvironments  100% agreed!
    4
  565.  @johntucker5994  Agreed. We're still trying to hold Trump accountable for his first coup attempt in 2020!
    4
  566. Agreed. As a registered Republican and fiscal conservative, I feel the same as you towards Trump and all of MAGA. They must be voted out for the health and strength of our country.
    4
  567.  @Nolefan1966  What?

  568. Commercial ships transporting goods for Russia will have to be queued up for a thorough search and inspection.

    4
  580. I heard the same.
    4
  581. And the national unemployment rate is lower than it was under pre-Covid Trump. If you're not employed now, you're either not looking for work or you have bigger problems that prevent anyone from hiring you.

  582. There is a big difference between Qhristians (like The Heritage Foundation) and true Christians (like James Talarico).

  583. America will celebrate its 250th birthday. However, we don't know if it will be as a democratic republic based on a constitution under Harris or as an authoritarian fascist theocracy with white privilege under Trump.

  584.  @larsord9139  After reading your sentence, I hope you're a Russian general.🤣
    4
  585. @ It’s not a civil war. Ukraine has been an independent country for over 30 years and wants to keep it that way. After all, no country wants to be the next Belarus.
    4
  586. Good advice. Thank you!
    4
  587. Agreed. Citizens United has made our elections go to the highest bidder.
    4
  588. Then you get off your couch and go show then how it's done. Basically, you have zero idea what you're talking about.
    4
  589.  @freddyfox5002  Absolutely true. However, multiple other economic indicators are showing signs that the Russian econonomy is starting to overheat...and will do so unless something changes. To continue their war, Russia may have to go to a complete wartime economy. This would be very hard on the financial well being of the average Russian in terms of inflation, government appropriation of personal savings, and the disappearance of pensions.
    4
  590. It seems that Ukraine does have a manpower problem and they seem to be trading Ukrainian farm fields for high Russian casualties and equipment losses, while simultaneously attacking Russia's ability to sell refined oil products.
    4
  591.  @MrArkaneMage  Look, your point is valid ("all murder is immoral") but it's just unrealistic in a time of war. If Ukraine did not kill Russian soldiers, they would all be killed by the same Russian soldiers. Now it's your turn. Given the above scenario, what should a Ukrainian soldier do?
    4
  592. He's scrambling for allies. He must know that he is alone.
    4
  593.  @BigfootSF68  Perfectly stated!

  606.  @Олег-ж3с3т  Only if Russia honors the law.
    3
  607.  @Олег-ж3с3т  1) Russia has NOT followed the law. 2) I don't know who blew up Nordic Stream. 3) The tanker is being operated by Russia to transport their oil as part of their shadow fleet...and contains Russian espionage equipment. Any other questions?
    3
  608.  @Depthcharger  My arguments are true, not “bad faith”. You’re such an expert on Agenda 47, prove me wrong. In addition, tell me exactly what I lied about? Name calling won’t get you out of the debate that you started. Come on now, back up your own words.
    3
  609.  @Maja-Danmark  No it won't. The older people in the video will have passed away within 25 years or less.
    3
  610.  @kacperzimowski4626  I don't see any truth in your comment. In fact, it doesn't even make grammatical sense. Clarify your point before you put jibberish into public Kac.
    3
  611. I like your thought process. Yeah, US support to the highest bidder makes me vomit in my mouth a little bit...but you didn't lose sight of the goal, both short term and long term. Well done, my friend.
    3
  612. As Americans, we need to start debating (arguing, fighting, whatever word you want here) about policy, both enacted and proposed, and not about feelings or beliefs. The media (CNN, Fox, etc) all play on our human psychological weaknesses. They are well aware that "righteous indignation" keeps us tuned in much longer than "feel good" stories.The longer we stay tuned in, the more likely we are to view an advertiser and buy their product. Advertisers are their primary source of income.
    3
  613.  @michaelotieno6524  That is some troll logic and a weak attempt at a Jedi mind trick. You forgot, Ukraine has zero incentive to harm their allies. Do better or you may end up on the frontlines!

  614. If you're smart, you will trust the Russian MoD information even LESS than the Ukrainian MoD info.

  615.  @thetruewisehole  Unless it's changed very recently, it's still the same...US weapons cannot be fired into Russian territory.
    3
  616.  @phbrinsden  Good point.
    3
  617.  @davidthenotorious3600  Your argument is starting to form now. So you're saying that Biden weaponized the word "democracy". How has Biden weaponized the word democracy? Why does the word democracy mean something other than it's dictionary definition?
    3
  618.  @davidthenotorious3600  Please answer my question directly. How has the word "democracy" been weaponized? What do you mean by that claim. I don't want to know what other words have been weaponized, I want to know what you mean exactly when you say the word democracy has been weaponized. Thanks for sticking by your stance and clarifying it.

  619. That's geopolitical gold! And thank you for the explanation. I was not aware of that.

  624.  @chrissmith7669  Op sec. Frustrating but understandable.
    3
  625. What I saw when I read Lape's comment, "Vague unsubstantiated accusation with no facts to back it up'". How come they never back up their comments? Yeah, we all know why😂
    3
  626.  @stephenglover1818  30 years ago, I would have been aligned with your isolationalism. Now that I'm older, I see how interconnected the world has become. Even if you were to look only at dollars spent, it is less money for us in the long run to give Ukraine the needed support to defeat Russia. The US should have stopped Hitler in the late 1930's but too many Americans had your isolationalist stance. We can learn from our past mistakes and do it better the next time around.
    3
  627. Sounds like you should provide us with a reference to back up your lie Kenji. I'm just kidding Kenji, I know that you can't provide any sort of valid reference and will just skulk away into the shadows again.

  632.  @keithdunwoody1302  Finance is always boring but it is important.
    3
  633.  @dean_l33  You might end up being correct on this one. As an American, if Trump wins, I think it will be the last truly democratic election that we ever vote in...assuming P2025 goes into effect.
    3
  634. Common sense is maintaining our democratic republic. We are aware that is a losing argument for you, so you choose to try and redirect the narrative.

  635.  @reginaholt6780  Agreed. Fairness matters.

  636.  @randybegon3191 That’s what I like to hear…Russia starting to get on the back foot.

  638. Me too. Sounds like Putin wants to start a fight.

  639.  @chrisosborne3679  What "reports"?
    3
  640.  @sayulitalyfe5299  Is this Kevin Roberts?
    3
  641. It shouldn't matter who did good or bad on the debate. Trump tried to overthrow the US government in 2020 so he could stay in power. If you try to overthrow the government, you shouldn't be allowed to be it's leader.
    3
  642. I agree with you. Your comment is a root cause of the polarization of America. We don't need a conservative dictator nor a liberal who promotes financial dependence on the government. We just need a leader who makes working salaries competitive and home ownership affordable...for the working middle class.
    3
  643. Excellent synopsis!
    3
  644.  @notachannel7495  That statement made my brain sketch for a second. As humans, are we so dumb that a simple trick like that works on us? The scary thing, I think you might be correct.

    3
  649.  @Pierluigi_Di_Lorenzo  What Russians are promised and what they actually get can be very different things. And printing more money just makes the money worth less. Come on PDL, that's basic economics!
    3
  650.  @187Rajah  Probably because, unlike the Russians, the Ukrainians are decent people.
    3
  651. Russia should have thought of those pipelines BEFORE they invaded Ukraine…but they failed to do so. Lack of Russian planning is not Ukraine’s problem.

  652.  @direwolf6234  That's b/c KInzinger is a conservative, NOT b/c he supports Trump's efforts to overthrow our government.

  653.  @leonornetzahuatl6969  Why is he a traitor? Because he stood up to your king?

  659.  @PandemoniumMeltDown  I think Taiwan may have a merit based government but I'm not for sure.
    3
  660. Respectfully, I disagree. If (and that's a big "if") the media continue to spread the evidence contained within the Smith filing, it can lessen Trump's chances of being elected. If this were a boxing match, this wouldn't be a KO. However, it's one of the punches to the gut that knocks the wind out of you and is difficult to recover from.

  661.  @Present-Tense  Thank you. We hope that we’ll get back on track.

  666.  @TheKaiser12345  Hmm. I see it differently. Biden has America’s interest first. Trump has Trump’s interest first.
    3
  667. Yes, but Darwin's rule of "adapt or die off" still applies. Figure out how to stay on top of the emerging new reality while not letting it steal who you are.
    3
  668. We are at the point where Putin sees the writing on the wall and is scrambling to change economic course.
    3
  669.  @ArizonaAstraLLC  Great question! If I may rephrase your question: "Why does Russia get to use Belarus from which to launch attacks on Ukraine but then claim that it's unfair or an escalation if Ukraine does the same?"
    3
  670.  @LancesArmorStriking  Um, neither the West nor NATO started this war. Putin started this war by invading Ukraine b/c he wants Ukraine. Putin understands force, hence Chechnya, Georgia, and Ukraine.

  671.  @stuglife5514  Good spot! Reb is projecting really hard.

  680.  @liberalismisaids9564  You forgot to mention that the terms of the "peace deal" in 2022 was dictated entirely by Putin. Odd that you forgot to mention that part.

    3
  695.  @TheVeritas2100  It's not the F16's that have Putin trembling, it's the overall volume of Western weapons coming into Ukraine that has him scared. Hence yesterday's trip to North Korea to acquire more weapons.
    3
  696. Europe just needs to accept that the Trump administration is going to slowly pull out of supporting Ukraine. I'm not a fan of this course of action but it's best if Europe plans for this in advance.

  700. That is incorrect. Global oil and gas markets can change in a matter of a few weeks if production from the world's largest suppliers like the US and Saudi Arabia increases from already existing pumping wells and delivery infrastructure. Also, OPEC+ has, several times in modern history, increased production to drop prices to drive competitors out of the market.

  701. What portion of the total bill is a loan? Have you already forgotten that most of the bill goes to producing weapons in the US? That's a lot of good paying American jobs for Americans.

  703. If I had done what Trump did on 1/6/21, I would already be in a federal prison now. There needs to be only one set of laws in America for American citizens, whether you're POTUS or a janitor. Being a rich and powerful American should not mean that you have rights that the rest of us don't.

  711.  @prestofungus8588  Except you. However, the funny thing is this is your 3rd or 4th time to mention that Klepper lied. Yet, you have never stated what he lied about. Now be a big boy and tell us what Klepper lied about. Thanks for backing up your claims with references!

  717. Having videos like the Russian Guy, Jake Bore, Arthur Rehi, etc, out on the internet raising awareness of Russia's actions is something that greatly benefits Ukraine as the mainstream media will not report much of this. I think that you and I both know that the government of Ukraine wants as many private citizens out there creating internet content to keep the democratic world engaged. Remember, this is also a war of information and public opinion that shapes political policy.

  729.  @TheModdedwarfare3  I know, it's the same pattern almost every time!
    3
  730.  @Princip666  So you are admitting that you are just a troll? You respond without even reading first?
    3
  731. I just don't get the sense that Trump has this master global plan like this guy is proposing.
    3
  732.  @zebrion5793  Agreed! And it’s sad and scary to watch it happen in real time in America.

    3
  740. Ever notice that Putin has allies only in dictators? (Kim Jong Un, Xi, Ali Khomeini, as-Assad, Orban, Maduro...and Trump) The world is dividing into democracies vs dictators. Everyone choose which side they want to be on...and that's an easy choice for 99.99% of us.
    3
  741.  @Dope4life97  1) I'm not a Democrat. Stop being smug and self assured. 2) My question is directed specifically at your reference to the total tax revenue of the top 1% for 2016-2018 vs 2018-2021. Where did that information come from?

  742.  @mytruecrimelibrary  That is fitting and functional. Thanks!

  753. @eyeknead2no Thank you for paraphrasing Trump's and MAGA's modus operandi. I've been watching the strategies they utilize, especially psychological tools. "Deny, delay, and distract from the real issue at hand" is great! I also enjoyed "Every accusation is a confession" about Trump and MAGA.

    3
  772.  @akakiiakakievich1646  Here's the flaw in your logic. NATO did not "move too close". All of the countries close to Russia feared for their freedom, so the ASKED to join NATO. That is a factual statement. So let's start from there and move forward with your argument.
    3
  773. You could be correct and I hope that turns out to be the case. However, we must be honest with ourselves. Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about global democracy or Ukraine. For example, his envoy to Ukraine is a retired general but his envoy to Russia and the Middle East (specifically Gaza) is a billionaire real estate developer (Steve Witkoff).
    3
  774.  @JD-im4wu I respectfully disagree. Trump supporters would still vote for Trump even if he were running against Jesus and Mother Teresa.
    3
  775.  @sage0001  Do you support Putin? If so, why?
    3
  776. Regarding the pro-Russian accounts on a YT channel like this one, what percentage are human trolls and what percentage are computer bots in your estimation?
    3
  777.  @dean_l33  Voting for Trump is the same thing as voting for Putin.
    3
  778.  @LutherusPXCs  I don’t care who took what 100+ years ago. That was somebody else. The only thing that matters is what do the current inhabitants of a sovereign country want. For example, 95% of Ukrainians want Russia out of Ukraine.
    3
  779.  @andresfelipeod6819  Is what Lammy said true or untrue? Back up your response (if you’re able) with facts that can be referenced (you can’t).

  780.  @Rohan123-b9t  What makes you think that “the rest of the world isn’t buying his BS”?

  784.  @YBM2007 I noticed that too. There’s a big difference between a leader who will let you kiss his hand and one who gives you a hug.
    3
  785.  @drcatrinaking  Just make sure that we don't get JD Vance in Trump's place. I'm sure you know that Vance is very closely aligned with Peter Thiel and Kevin Roberts. Whereas Trump wants to be an adored leader and megabillionaire, he's not the The Handmaid's Tale that Vance wants to bring to America.

  786.  @gertkaiser4273  That doesn’t show up on a Google search. Please state your source. Otherwise, you’re just another troll lying for Trump.

    3
  790.  @jacobgordon7998  Great explanation!
    3
  791. Despite this interview or that debate, only one thing matters...only one of the two Presidential candidates led a failed coup attempt against our government in 2020. That makes him a traitor to the United States of America. Be a real patriot, stand up for democracy, and vote Blue.
    3
  792.  @SkipEtchells  Unfortunately, diplomacy in these matters only occurs when there is no other option.
    3
  793. It's pretty clear that Putin, Xi, and Trump are cutting a deal using Orban as the errand boy. This big game is shaping up very clearly into democracies vs dictators. Choose the side that you would rather live under and support it.

  794.  @bjkyzar9450  Isn't that written within the Ukrainian constitution?
    3
  795.  @BishnuRay-ws5dq  When did reality become rhetoric?
    3
  796. @ Disregard this troll. He’s trying to convince you that it doesn’t matter if you vote for Trump b/c we never had a democracy anyway. He’s telling you to not believe what you see with your own eyes and hear what you hear with your own ears.

  801.  @InterWebGuy99  I think NK is the best bet. I just don't know about the effectiveness of NK air defense systems. It's pretty complicated to shoot a missile out of the sky with another missile...not something NK is known for (I hope).

  806.  @user-im5vi8rx9g  Personally, why do you choose to support Putin's war. Just curious. Thanks!
    3
  807. To do what exactly? Your comment is very vague.
    3
  808.  @ConfusedBoombox-vu4oh  1) Critical thinking skills. 2) Laws that restore the balance of power between employers and the employed. 3) Political representatives that fight for the American worker.

  810. @ace9840 As a fiscal conservative, I'm not out there campaigning for Harris but have been impressed with how involved Walz has been with organized labor. We need to find a way to get our pay in alignment with inflation so we're not getting poorer as we continue to work full time.

  821.  @lachlanbell8390  Zulu never said that Zeihan said "all there is to know". They said he summarized well. In case you don't know, there is a big difference. But let's compare Western media with state controlled Russian media. What do you thing about that comparison?
    3
  822.  @AgatBluvsky-ow9gp  How do you have access to information (your claim above) that the rest of us don't have access to? Please show us where we can confirm your claim so we know that you're not just lying?
    3
  823. Easy. Same thing Trump did.

  827. Thank you to the people of Denmark for supporting global democracy. I hope that US Republicans in Congress can start to figure out that supporting Ukraine now to stop Putin's expansion of war, death, and suffering.
    2
  828. I'm getting tired of people trying to cite semantics. We live in a democratic republic which means that we elect our representatives democratically...like every other true democracy in the current world. Did I misunderstand your point? If so, how? Thank you.
    2
  829. My wife and I have already decided what part of Canada we'd like to move to once Trump destroys American democracy. Don't worry, we'll be very quiet about it as we don't want Canadian property values to skyrocket before we buy.
    2
  830. I hand't thought of that. Thanks for that insight. Personally, I think China will nickel and dime Russia more and more as Russia becomes more dependent on them. The Chinese are ruthless in business.

    2
  838.  @Depthcharger  I have looked at both documents; only difference is abortion. Can YOU educate us as to how Agenda 47 is different than P2025? We’d all love to hear.

  841.  @jajeanjeanne  How is watching video of Russ Vought talk "gas lighting"?
    2
  842.  @darrenzb_8980  You are incorrect Darren. A real Republican will put country over party. I am sorry that you have chosen the opposite path. We can agree to disagree and see how it pans out this November. I wish you the best of luck in your desire to create the first American king, but I cannot support you because I am a true American patriot that believes, and will fight for, American democracy. Take care Darren.

    2
  844.  @johnharrison6745  I'm a science nerd, whatever your real name is. I'm not interested in fighting with you. I'm interested in why your response was so strong. Are you paid to promote an ideological agenda? If not, why was your response so strong?
    2
  845.  @ShadowSong634  You are the only person (besides one troll) to comment on how we are being manipulated. That's crazy to me. Do people not care? Is the game so fun/addictive that people want to play it despite being manipulated?
    2
  846.  @ShadowSong634  I agree with and support your rationale.
    2
  847. The old Cold War was capitalism vs communism. The new Cold War is democracy vs dictators. Unfortunately, we (Americans) have elected officials like MTG to fight for the rights of dictators. Shameful.
    2
  848.  @ProfessorxVile  Ukraine can give the Russian troops options such as dollars, rubles, or vodka for turning over Russian equipment. In fact, all they have to do is add vodka to the existing financial offer!
    2
  849. …and listening to Suchomimus is relaxing, like listening to Richard Attenborough speak.
    2
  850. I'd have to research the Sheffield-OPEC story before I can comment. However, everything you said about the Lankford bipartisan immigration and border bill is absolutely true...including Trump having the bill quashed by his monkeys-in-ties in Congress.
    2
  851.  @dustingano6277  No, that wasn't their point. What they said is to keep talking about it to keep it in the public dialogue. There's a very real reason Trump is trying to distance himself from Project 2025...he knows it's politically harmful for him.
    2
  852.  @MrHollowpoint140 That’s not an answer. Try again.

  855.  @beeeb7747  Be supportive. Don't drive people away who are coming over. One at a time.

  856. Why did Russia strike a children's hospital? For the same reason they struck a... Cafes during lunch, Apartment buildings at night, Maternity hospitals, Schools, DIY stores, Urban parks, Etc, etc....

  857.  @jefferson808  We can’t afford to stop fighting for Justice. If any of us had done what Trump did, we would already be in a federal penitentiary. Don’t give up on applying the same law on tve rich & powerful that we are subject to!
    2
  858. I just sent your b'day present to the 69th Sniffing Brigade! Thanks for the work you do Jake. It is important that you do this. If we ever meet in person, I'll buy you that well deserved cold beer.
    2
  859.  @Conn30Mtenor  I am in no way condoning the behavior of Russians. However, most of the interviews with regular Russian people that I’ve watched or read (about the war in Ukraine) are filled with fearful comments about their own government. They make a lot of statements like “It is not wise to discuss such things”. We need to make sure that autocracy does not occur in America.
    2
  860. Very clear big picture assessment of American immigration policies, including the "one thing" that will fix illegal immigration. Kudos to you for having the courage to put this into the public sphere.  I'm a registered Republican but I've had enough of these MAGA clowns ruining everything for the rest of us. If anybody wants to get MAGA out, please consider doing what I'm doing...1) Vote non-MAGA in all Republican primaries, even if you have to change your party affiliation, 2) Vote only for strongly anti-MAGA Republicans (there are very few); if there are no anti-MAGA Republicans, vote straight Democrat, 3) Keep repeating this EVERY election cycle until MAGA is over and done with.

  862.  @bobs1224  I’ll let him answer for himself.

  863.  @leemontoya8028  That statement doesn’t make sense.
    2
  864.  @Ode-to-Odysseus  Agreed.
    2
  865. ⁠That was deep.
    2
  866.  @martinscheffler3866  I can see that we're talking about different points. My point was that the West isn't expanding. Instead, countries that were former Soviet states are voluntarily approaching the EU and NATO because they desperately want democracy and freedom as opposed to risking going back under Russian rule. If Putin is going to have his feelings hurt because is accepting his crappy offer, he needs to sweeten his deal. Orban's, or anyone's, governing is too subjective for us to bother with. Great, you love Orban.
    2
  867. Life is like that. Trump is going to make a lot of money driving Putin into bankruptcy. I'll take that trade off.
    2
  868.  @theredscourge  I get your financial logic. We're not the world's cop. However, I do think that nipping this in the bud (while Russia is only into eastern Donbas) will prevent this from escalating and, ultimately, costing America much more money (and could risk American troops) in the long run. That's money well spent. And remember, when you look at a country's GDP, we're not even in the top ten of what other countries have given.
    2
  869. ...and your friends.
    2
  870.  @TheGreatOne-gw7xh  I bet that you can't explain your lame statement.
    2
  871. Agreed. Trump supporters seem to want a king that they call a president.

  872. As the National Wealth Fund is steadily depleted, it is unclear if the RCB would have the liquid reserves for a large scale bank bail out.

  876. I think that is a great and succinct summary. Most people no longer have that skill. Try out my theory, you'll be blown away that many adults cannot paraphrase what they just heard.
    2
  877.  @tsm115599  ?
    2
  878.  @tsm115599  That wasn't me. My only response to you was "?" because your comment wasn't clear to me. Good luck finding your Chevron defender.
    2
  879.  @j.elampland1206  No it's not. I'm a physician and I've met plenty of shady docs w/o integrity that have lucrative practices...and they're not lucrative b/c of word of mouth or cost efficiency.

  880.  @damarglover6363  That was good. Thank you.

  882. What you just described is a perfect example of Carlos M. Cipolla's redefining of what constitutes true intelligence. Check it out. There's even a good Wikipedia page on it.

  883. They have been. Just google the list of arms packages from the US to Ukraine. It's 2024, why are you speculating?
    2
  884. Ukraine is making progress on the battlefield. How can Trump, Vance, Musk, and Putin work together to stop this from ever happening again!?!?
    2
  885. What will Putin offer Trump during their one-on-one meeting?
    2
  886.  @John-hu9qg  Oh, you're trying that "illegitimate" game like the other guys. Is Putin legit?

  887.  @Kohagaan  I don't think he's for real. However, I like to try out different approaches on trolls.

  891. Thank you! Any sort of reference is desperately lacking on this platform.

  892. TrumPutin...I like it. They are two peas in the same pod, aren't they?

  893.  @judeflynn9223  Please explain why the charges were BS…if you can.

  894.  @samlott99 let’s focus on the Raffensperger phone call to “find 11,780 votes”. How could that be a legal phone call?
    2
  895.  @FirstMetalHamster  Clearly stated. Thank you!
    2
  896. True but this will only work if the Russian government continues to generate enough income to pay for the products. If the government defaults on large loans to the defense sector, it will produce a major strain on the banking sector and risk collapsing the banks involved in those contracts.

  897. I wish that I had tens of millions of people that believed everything that came out of my mouth and then gave me hundreds of millions of dollars.
    2
  898. Why not everywhere Russia sends it mercenaries?
    2
  899.  @fidelc1269  Excellent point. Just like why none of the NK troops in Kursk can ever see their home again.
    2
  900. Thanks. It's good to know the cast of characters.
    2
  901. Maybe I don't understand your question. If it were me, I wouldn't leak any of my op sec. Even Russia has never put forth a clear plan, just a bunch of conflicting statements designed to confuse.
    2
  902.  @jason666king  Actually, it's a great analogy. Primarily because it's true.
    2
  903.  @jason666king  "The internet isn't a popularity contest. Remind me of how many subscribers you have"...isn't that the same as a popularity contest?
    2
  904.  @returnofCrusade  Sure you did😂
    2
  905. Those Arizonans either don't know or don't care that Trump set up a slate of fake Electors in their state in 2020 to cheat the people of Arizona out of their democratic right. As we speak, Kelli Ward and her crew are facing possible jail sentences.
    2
  906. Trump supporters have been duped by the King of Cons, Donald J Trump. It's easy to belittle these people because they are often loud, obnoxious, smug, and arrogant. But please remember that they have been duped by Trump, they just don't know it yet. If the blind wish to remain blind, leave them behind and move on.
    2
  907. You have a good leader who cares. I am sorry that we have a selfish and shitty leader in the US. The majority of Americans have and still believe in you and what you are fighting for.
    2
  908. When Ukraine is happy with the results.
    2
  909. There is a preexisting Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA law) that was broken. But also remember, if those people had done the same thing in Russia, they would already be in jail awaiting a trial that undoubtedly sentence them to many years in a Russian prison. They are getting fair treatment in the US.

  912. Why are all of the far-right political leaders (eg Le Pen, Trump, Farage, etc) siding with dictators?
    2
  913.  @howarddickson2162  I greatly appreciate the fact that you are open to dissenting opinions and the two of us can have a healthy and civil debate. Thank you for that!
    2
  914.  @AM-fs1je  Good summation. I hope Claudette appreciated it too.
    2
  915.  @Mari-oe6te  Weapons will be limited to the military.
    2
  916. I don’t know if it will be 2025 or 2026, but Ukraine will emerge victorious in the war that Putin started.
    2
  917. "Loyalocracy"...well phrased! And this is also one of my biggest concerns about a possible Trump presidency as well. It will be filled only by loyalists and not based on merit at all, especially with the implementation of Schedule F according to Agenda 47 / Project 2025.
    2
  918. Exactly!
    2
  919.  @jasonfuller1001  Well stated!

  922. @ I’m American and I feel the same.
    2
  923.  @Pierluigi_Di_Lorenzo  Thank you for coming to the same conclusion as what I'm trying to point out...recruiting replacement troops is getting more and more expensive for Russia as it burns through it's citizens willing to support Putin's war effort. And it must be admitted that this isn't going well for Russia. They intended to sack Kyiv with 190k troops. Now it's 2.5 years later and they've had to recruit (and pay for) several hundred thousand more troops.
    2
  924.  @Pierluigi_Di_Lorenzo  Oh, we may be kinda saying the same thing. Yeah, I think Russia pays out most benefits and mostly to the 100% agreed amount. However, I've seen too many stories of soldiers, their wives, or their parents getting the bureaucratic run around about late or absent pay, including death benefits, to make me believe that everyday Russians don't get screwed over pretty often.
    2
  925.  @carycunningham9510  It is a fair question...and an important one. America, our country is going down the drain and we need to have an effective plan to deal with it before it's gone.
    2
  926.  @heathermccall8015  At least that would make their country better for their loved ones, rather than worse.
    2
  927.  @cplson2706  Whatever it is, Russia doesn't have it.
    2
  928.  @ZoltanBojas-ug6nf  I think that's an accurate "36,000 foot view" of the current situation.
    2
  929.  @irinar  On the flip side of the same coin, Lex didn’t bring up questions that would make Russia look bad, like the mass civilian exe cutions in Bucha or striking the Kyiv Children’s Hospital with two missiles.
    2
  930.  @TroIIingThemSoftly  I vote you best screen name. Now the song is stuck in my head...with your lyrics.
    2
  931. 1) Cleta Mitchell's deceptively misnamed "Election Integrity Network" has been training MAGA election workers for several years to block the election certification at the county and state level. On his War Room podcast, Steve Bannon showed the step-by-step instructions that were given to the MAGA election workers on how to file a complaint, as well as the contact information for a MAGA attorney who will file the case with a local court. 2) I agree with Mr Hartmann and Mr Palast, MAGA's goal is to prevent Harris from getting to 270 EC votes in order to invoke the 12th Amendment...thus allowing the MAGA controlled House of Reps to choose the next POTUS. Even after Trump was caught trying to rig and steal the 2020 election with slates of fake Electors, MAGA just can't stop trying to steal the election from We the People. All of these people are traitors to America. Tina Peters was a good start...and it will continue. To the MAGA election workers planning on delaying vote certification on false pretenses...consider what you are doing in advance. Is it worth risking your freedom and quality of life to go to prison for years just so you can help Trump steal an election?

  932.  @Marg0lin  Crimean is Crimean, not Russian. Just because Russians own beach condos there doesn’t make it “theirs”.
    2
  933. …silence.
    2
  934. Many of us are not as scared of empty threats as you. Putin is well aware that intercontinental nuclear warfare also means the end of him. The fact that millions of Russians will also die does not seem to concern Putin. Why not?
    2
  935. Although not as sexy as partisan fighting, I think your theory is spot on. And as you pointed out, shows serious instability in the Russian economy.
    2
  936.  @rebelliousfew  Of course we love dissenting opinions. They just have to hold water.
    2
  937.  @victorseger6044  History will remember them as two people who refused to bow and kiss Trump's ring.
    2
  938.  @direwolf6234  Kinzinger was acting in accord with his conservative beliefs but, to the best of my knowledge, never supported authoritarianism. To be a strong democracy, we need dissenting opinions and strong logical debate.
    2
  939.  @TheBlondNPC  Lying is "just his way of speech"? I don't think that should be normalized or condoned.
    2
  940.  @erikbowman9194  That @chrisb guy hasn't been through sh*t.
    2
  941. We need more of the Russian people that believe in personal freedom and democratic governments to speak up publicly against Putin and what he is doing!
    2
  942. You really touched a nerve for some Putin trolls.
    2
  943. I don't get it either. You will have to ask Putin why he is causing all this suffering in the world.
    2
  944.  @theo3030  For me and my family, we'll take democratic over authoritarian!
    2
  945.  @Pacbandit13 Decent attempt at deflection from Putin’s atrocious crimes.
    2
  946.  @DanaProca-x6i  1) He started a war in Ukraine that has killed hundreds of thousands of people and caused immeasurable suffering in the world…like Hitler did in the 1930’s. 2) There are now over 19k documented Ukrainian children that were taken to Russia against their will, had their names and birth dates changed, and were given to Russian foster families. This is large scale child abduction. If you were a parent, you would feel this pain.
    2
  947.  @Pacbandit13  After Russia is out of Ukraine. First things first.
    2
  948.  @QuietRefl4378  Pacbandit is trying to use deflection to divert from the real issue…it’s what he’s paid to do.
    2
  949.  @shtBlock  As of today, the UK and the USA are not conducting genocide in a foreign sovereign country like Russia is actively doing in Ukraine. Focus on active issues first. Once active issues have been handled, historical grievances can be discussed.
    2
  950.  @tumix671  I’m on a weeklong work stretch and can’t converse right now. If you’d like to educate yourself on these topics, I’ll be free again this upcoming Monday.
    2
  951.  @phil20_20  It's so much that Medvedev is tenacious, it's more that he's an aggressive idiot who cannot discern ambition from ability...and a lush.
    2
  952.  @prestofungus8588  What did Klepper lie about? Please stop being vague.
    2
  953.  @SusanWelch-ms9hg  Great point! When Trump comes to AZ to support Kari Fake, remind everyone about John McCain and Rusty Bowers...show them for their true character.
    2
  954. Agreed, it is purely speculation at this point and should be pointed out as such. However, this is how the search for the money trail begins. Give it time to form.
    2
  955. Agreed.
    2
  956. Looks like BRICS is about to become BRCS.
    2
  957. "Trevor the troll"
    2
  958. @ Your comment stated that since Ukraine used to be a Soviet satellite state in the past that Russia had the right to invade Ukraine in the present. Don't try to weasle out of it. You could just delete your posts like most trolls do as soon as they are proven wrong.
    2
  959. To learn HOW they lie in order to see right through it as their lies become more nuanced.
    2
  960.  @FrontLinesUA  For Russian trolls to say “Putin endorsed Kamala”. Like you just did. Let me ask you this. Why did the Kremlin give $10 million dollars to right wing social media influencers? I’d love to hear your answer.
    2
  961. Whoops…should be “smart enough to NOT burn bridges”.
    2
  962.  @RyanEglitis  I looked it up. Here's the basic difference. If you read a flattering poem about someone at their funeral, it's an elegy. If you do the exact same thing at a funeral but it's a speech and not a poem, it's a eulogy. At first you were kinda pissin me off but you forced me to learn something new today and I am appreciative of that. Thanks.
    2
  963. @ Terms of the deal were changed compared to prior offers.
    2
  964. @ Compare the 1st and 2nd versions of the “mineral deal”. The two contracts are very different.
    2
  965. The old Cold War was "democracy vs communism". The new Cold War is "democracies vs dictators". We've seen evidence that Putin, Kim Jong Un, Xi, Ali Khomeini, Orban, al-Assad, and Maduro have banded together. IMO, Trump wants to be in that club.
    2
  966.  @bamboozled1668  Ha! I never thought of it that way but you’re absolutely correct!
    2
  967. Trump tried to overthrow American democracy after he lost the 2020 election. That is a crime against the United States. The truth is plain to see. End of story.
    2
  968. Democracies vs Dictators. Pick your side, especially Americans on Nov 5th.
    2
  969.  @monberg1000  I know, you are correct. I just like to play with trolls when I get bored.
    2
  970. Thank you for your support! We’re fighting.
    2
  971.  @lawshorizon  That could be it.
    2
  972.  @laars0001  I do too. I'm not saying that I would be immune to the same if I were the world's richest person.
    2
  973.  @Lisazab  The slow rolled SCOTUS ruling was to help delay Trump’s trials until after the election. However, what Biden would/could do with that ruling they didn’t seem to consider.
    2
  974.  @sugarbist  Yeah, well it’s a lie wrapped in a flag.
    2
  975.  @Biggdoom344  True.
    2
  976.  @francoisprimon2832  In what ways was Lammy’s speech “foolish and psychopathic”? Thank you backing up your own words.
    2
  977.  @AvidAfrican  Let’s focus today’s active atrocities committed by Russia in Ukraine. Once active issues are resolved, grievances regarding past atrocities committed by the UK or US can be discussed.
    2
  978. @ I wasn’t disputing. I was just relaying my experience regarding your original statement. See…words are difficult and cumbersome.
    2
  979.  @cathysteele924  My point was that there were no wars during Trump’s presidency because no one started a major war during that time. It had nothing to do with Trump being president at the time. Although please feel free to educate me as to what Trump did to prevent war from breaking out. Thanks.
    2
  980.  @ryanweible9090  Agreed. Watch Trump in that Helsinki meeting with Putin. Trump was nervous and scared.
    2
  981.  @cheerwhiner7829  Refs only make calls on fouls! They don’t make calls if you follow the rules. Any adult should know that. What’s wrong with you?
    2
  982.  @enpakeksi765  He can't. Because they don't exist.
    2
  983.  @Suggesttt  Vague statement. Are you able to elaborate on your comment?
    2
  984.  @USA92  I can't locate the original statement to reply to you. Refresh my memory so I can answer your question. Thank you.
    2
  985.  @robertmitchell2178  Uh oh, my ancestors on the Mayflower came here illegally!
    2
  986.  @IconoclastX Or a grandiloquent person evidently.
    2
  987.  @vbachman6742  I respectfully disagree. I was thinking "sweet justice".
    2
  988. Vance is much more dangerous and damaging for America than Trump. And I am not a Trump supporter by any means.
    2
  989. Very well thought out response! Thank you.
    2
  990.  @PassivePortfolios  I agree with your forecast.
    2
  991.  @eimantasbutkus5324  Most of us have a policy of pro-freedom, which means anti-dictator. Later Trump.
    2
  992.  @Tbone1492  The Constitution is the foundation of our democracy; the two are inseparable.
    2
  993.  @davidkottman3440  Can you cite an example of this occurring in the last 50 years?
    2
  994.  @davidkottman3440  HI David. I wansn't asking how frequently you are seeing people wanting the Constitution to changed. I'm just asking for one (of the nearly daily) examples that you've seen of HOW people want to change the Constitution. Thanks.
    2
  995.  @gloriajohnson8297  Thank you! I’ll do my part too!
    2
  996. Trump’s method: “Negotiate through strength…unless you’re a dictator. Then I’ll cave in to your every demand.”
    2
  997.  @ewnard2005  A conspiracy theory is not based in fact. Hard to call a 920 page detailed policy statement as not being based in fact.
    2
  998.  @liberalismisaids9564  One question for you. Were any of the eastern European countries that joined NATO forced to do so? Or did they ASK to join NATO? Are you able to answer this question?
    2
  999.  @liberalismisaids9564  Finland didn't want to become the next Ukraine. Basically, Putin is the single best recruiter that NATO has ever had.
    2
  1000.  JudyStroyer-bk6fb  Let’s start to chat about Unitary Executive Theory and Schedule F. Let me know what you think about them. In my humble opinion, they are both “king builders”.
    2
  1001. It's true, Europe wasn't pulling their fair share for a long time. But most of them are now and I'm willing to let it be water under the bridge. Guess they just needed a "reminder" that Putin gave them. It seems very different now.
    2
  1002.  @alacazaba  thanks
    2
  1003. Why do you believe what people say when their actions say something different?
    2
  1004. Why is Haley endorsing Trump now? Because she’s waging a bet that Trump will get convicted of a felony before the election. Therefore, Haley will need the Trump votes to beat Biden. It’s NOT like Haley feels that Trump is competent or has integrity.
    2
  1005. What the people feel is understandable. The fact that Trump is using that to con Americans is unacceptable.
    2
  1006.  @ConstructiveMinds100  Just b/c you’re an adult troll doesn’t make your comments true or correct, does it?
    2
  1007. Trump should already be in jail for trying to rig and steal the 2020 election!
    2
  1008.  @hamishstewart5188 Yes we do but we’re having to figure get the Trump-MAGA zombies every step of the way. A little support from another person that supports fairness, freedom, and democracy would be greatly appreciated.
    2
  1009.  @jameswoffinden9215  Could be. For someone like Musk, that would equate to hundreds of millions of dollars.
    2
  1010. The new Cold War is "democracies vs dictators". Pick your side, especially Americans on Nov 5th.
    2
  1011.  @Silveirias  Nor will we give him a penny.
    2
  1012.  @gmann5174  I don’t care what we call it as long as we’re all seeing it and aren’t afraid to talk about it.
    2
  1013. I miss Mr Hitchens' bright mind.
    2
  1014. You've seen way more than I have of Mrs Paine but I've consistently been impressed with her insights. Very bright mind!
    2
  1015. @ 1) Why do YOU choose to support Putin? 2) If Russia would stop bombing apartment blocks, schools, hospitals, etc…Ukrainian losses would be much less. Putin has the benefit here b/c the Russian people are disposable pawns to him. 3) “Crucial aspects”? What is that vagueness referring to? 4) The “Istanbul Surrender”…that makes it very clear that you’re a Putin troll. Do you feel bad accepting money to spread lies?
    2
  1016.  @videorecreators  Every single Trumper comment here is trying to play the victim card here. What’s wrong with you people?
    2
  1017.  @toddfulton2280  Oh, I so wish that we could make a friendly wager on that comment.
    2
  1018. I know. It’s effing insane! It doesn’t even make sense.

  1019.  @1jfinnegan  I understood the comment and I understand the comment. However, I do not agree with the comment. It's a moot point, the information has already been released for the public to review and form their own opinions.
    2
  1020. The words Trump and Putin are completely interchangeable in your sentence.
    2
  1021.  @TenylegMinekez-uc7co  If Russia keeps having this rate of losses in Ukraine (men and materiel), it won't be long until the Netherlands will be able to defeat Russia. Let's be honest, the Dutch would just take Moscow, St Petersburg, and Kaliningrad...and leave the rest, unless it was mineral rich.
    2
  1022.  @burritobandit45  If you’re choosing a slightly lower inflation rate over democratic freedom, the large majority of America disagrees with you. Democratic freedom and religious freedom over Christian Nationalism…now and forever.
    2
  1023.  @georgevan2589  We feel the same.
    2
  1024. It's literally a line of reasoning that MTG used.
    2
  1025.  @TheRadioAteMyTV  She didn't say that she read it. She said that Republicans are avoiding it for a reason.
    2
  1026.  @terrencehooten827  Agreed. That speaks volumes. Even Rex Tillerson said Trump was an idiot.
    2
  1027. Pisses me off but you are correct.
    2
  1028. If South Korea offers citizenship, work, and lodging to those NK soldiers, most of them will just surrender…knowing they have a secure future.
    2
  1029. Agreed. This is nothing more than a delay tactic. @fjalics 
    2
  1030.  @Angry_Dinosaur  I'm not watching old videos to try and guess your point. State your point or PO.
    2
  1031. Don't they assign two pilots per F16? Twelve pilots for six fighters, that math seems to add up. Don't you agree?
    2
  1032. When can we have Pete Buttigieg and Tim Snyder on the Presidential ticket? Make America Smart Again!
    2
  1033.  @BadActor-  I'd like to hear your point. Why is UKIYO-CRAIG incorrect?
    2
  1034.  @AstroGremlinAmerican  What are your opinions on The Heritage Foundations Project 2025?
    2
  1035. The Daily Show didn't show the video of audience members yelling to turn on the AC when people started passing out.
    2
  1036.  @LilaB-f2o Agreed.
    2
  1037.  @TheWHIGJr What’s the difference?
    2
  1038.  @deborahcouvillion630  I am so glad that Justice was able to get around that concrete road block left by SCOTUS.
    2
  1039. I'm American and I agree with you.
    2
  1040. Kallas is a badass!
    2
  1041. We’ll phrased. Thank you!
    2
  1042.  @jrrarglblarg9241  That was funny!
    2
  1043.  @davidheydon3478  What are you even rambling about?
    2
  1044. Your post? Really, you trolls should start citing your references. However, if your employer is dumb enough to pay you for comments that no one believes and everyone laughs at...go for it. I'm not begrudging you some easy money.
    2
  1045. I'm an American living in America and I have not seen animosity towards those that don't support Ukraine. Are you basing your perception from online comments are talking to real Americans on our public sidewalks, having a brew in the local sports bar, or in the grocery store? Please provide details b/c I just don't see what you are claiming to be true...and that makes me very suspicious that you are NOT what you claim to be. Thank you!
    2
  1046.  @vaclovasverikaitis4172  Are Lowa boots available where you live?
    2
  1047.  @MrObvious-tg8lz  It makes me think that "america1stpatriot" isn't actually American at all.
    2
  1048.  @america1stpatriot127  Don't be too literal. I mean do you talk to real Americans face to face?
    2
  1049. How bout you provide some substance, like details. Beat it Putin troll.
    2
  1050.  @wayneparis4213  The fact that Harris isn't trying to become a king like Trump is plenty of reason.
    2
  1051.  @rebelliousfew  He never said the US was totally honest. He only stated that the Russian govt is infamous for how much they lie. Am I correct or incorrect. If incorrect, please state why. Thank you Reb.
    2
  1052.  @savvaschristou7677  You mean the same Afghani's that also humiliated Russia one decade earlier?
    2
  1053.  @TyllerBoom  I would think that some growth in wanting freedom, even if just a little, would be more apparent by now. Then again, I don't really know how much trouble in Russia you'll get if you tell the truth publicly. Fear is a powerful (de)motivator.
    2
  1054.  @divadjens4278  What I hear in your words are Russian rulers taking everything from the Russian people and then the same rulers tell the people "if you want to be something in life, you need to do the right thing and fight for your family and homeland". First, they took it away. Secondly, they gave it back at a very high price. Simple and ingenious...just horribly dark, like a malignant mind set.
    2
  1055.  @standarddisclaimer  Well phrased. Thank you.
    2
  1056.  @deliriouswhome1  I think you answered your own question with your last sentence.
    2
  1057. Our "blue down the ballot" vote tells the GOP what isn't working for them. They will respond accordingly and ditch the MAGA movement and Trump in order to stay alive. Maybe they'll split into two smaller parties, don't know yet.
    2
  1058. Mine too, in AZ.
    2
  1059. The key word is "lower". Trump doesn't give a damn what the UAE does. He wants to squeeze Putin.
    2
  1060. Biden did in 2024 what Trump could not do in 2020.
    2
  1061. Sorry, I forgot hypocritical.
    2
  1062. Changes in large economies, like Russia's, are like turning an oil tanker around. It takes a while. The only thing (that I'm aware of) that would quickly collapse the Russian economy is if the largest purhcasers of exported Russian oil and gas stop buying.
    2
  1063.  @Gumpmachine1  Not if Putin honors preexisting American contracts. I see that we've come full circle. See where I'm coming from?
    2
  1064. That's why they're there.
    2
  1065.  @Katie96077  Investing in Ukrainian b/c you believe in their work ethic will s a good thing!

  1066.  @humboldthammer  Option A happens if we anticipate, keep our eyes open, and fight option B.

  1067.  @Jo-re2ye  Only the truth is funny and you stuck that landing.
    2
  1068.  @chadhaire1711  I tried to help you kid but you were too arrogant.
    2
  1069.  @nc5145  WHY are first year law students laughing about the indictment exactly?
    2
  1070.  @KristianNorsk  Do you have the correct thread?
    2
  1071.  @cymeriandesigns  So that's where this little troll is getting his "info". Thanks!
    2
  1072. He's picks and chooses. Since this is a single issue channel and Trump is currently calling Putin's bluff, Jake is cool to go for the ride.
    2
  1073.  @NineInchTyrone  What does that even mean?
    2
  1074.  @paulmaluga5383  Why not the Russians for that matter? Stalin's cooperation with the Hitler in taking Poland was much much more destructive than Bandera cooperation. One important point. Stalin cooperated with Hitler to take over another sovereign country (Poland). Bandera cooperation with Hitler was to provide better defenses within their own country (Ukraine) against foreign invaders...basically, the Nutzie's were an "unsavory but necessary ally".
    2
  1075. You have got to stop repeating what you hear without questioning it first. I've read this same comment dozens of times stated by people that are just parroting what they hear. America is a democratic republic, meaning that we elect our representatives in a democratic fashion. Our democratically elected representatives swear an oath to follow our Constitution. Put it this way, if we weren't a democratic country, we wouldn't have elections.
    2
  1076. @MyOutsideSocks Great analogy!
    2
  1077.  @Pierluigi_Di_Lorenzo  What percentage of the time is Russia paying out moneys owed and where can we confirm this information?
    2
  1078.  @zoomeraygun1  Only if good people actively oppose evil. Left unopposed, evil can spread and not fail.
    2
  1079. Agenda 47 is just Project 2025 with a new paint job. The only difference that I can see between the two is on abortion.
    2
  1080. Thank you (merci). How do we accelerate that process?
    2
  1081. "Democracies vs dictators"...everyone pick their side. I chose democracy and voted straight Blue yesterday. -a gun owning registered Republican
    2
  1082. @ But the anchor created the drag track, right?
    2
  1083.  @nowarwithrussiaandchina4667  Once again, you’re above par. Kudos. One question for you. Ukraine is a sovereign country. They chose the West. They didn’t choose Russia’s offer. How do ya feel about that?
    2
  1084.  @epsilonbeta4877  Tolerating Trump's misogynistic comments is a submissive role they've learned to assume as the natural order of things, especially in a conservative Christian household. "Oh, it's just boys being boys." Now this is a generalization but, lets be honest, stereotypes don't come from nothing.
    2
  1085. Calm down. It was definitively NOT a compliment.
    2
  1086. Hey Arizona, is Kelli Ward in jail yet?
    2
  1087.  @power2me1  We ALL pay those taxes. Man, you are really hung ho on tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. Why is that? For the record, I don’t begrudge anybody’s success and I’m white collar comfortable myself…but taxation should be fair and that means without loopholes for the wealthiest. I’m sure you’re ok with a fairness principle? But again, why are such a strong proponent for tax breaks for the ultra wealthy?
    2
  1088.  @Extraterrestrial-Bilu  My bad. I typed a response for another comment by mistake. I'm 100% pro Ukraine!
    2
  1089.  @devilsolution9781  Are you sure about that? Does this also apply to you?
    2
  1090. I agree.
    2
  1091. @ Maybe we are evolving as a species.
    2
  1092.  @ytsm  Because it will cost us way more money in the long run if we don't nip this in the bud. Do not spend ten dollars for something five years for now when you can buy it for two dollars now.
    2
  1093. If I'm watching a Russian military parade without focusing on the fact that most of the Russian faces don't look Asian, I can't tell Russia's parade from North Korea's parade.
    2
  1094. It serves as identification that the carrier is gullible.

  1095. Weren’t the ancient Greeks the first democratic state?

  1096.  @richardbayer5702  No offense Mr Bayer but I'm much into religion. However, I do live by The Golden Rule. I appreciate you taking the time to respond!
    2
  1097.  @cernel5799  I can't see the number of dislikes either.
    2
  1098. What does that saying mean to you?
    2
  1099. Hi!
    2
  1100.  @mrki4937  Did you learn your history from Russian text books? Your statement does not reflect reality.
    2
  1101. @ Great post and thanks for taking the time to type it out. As an American, I would like to see a European military bloc that is independent of the US. To be honest, democracy is stronger in many European countries (especially Scandinavia) than in America right now…and that needs to be free of Russian, Chinese, or Russian oversight or influence.
    2
  1102.  @Vatniks_are_clowns  ?
    2
  1103. If Sudi Arabia can acquire long term contracts with Russia's former oil purchasers, they might do it. Wouldn't be the first time Saudi Arabia squeezed out a competitor and accepted a short term profit loss (but not a deficit) in order to gain long term contracts.
    2
  1104. Putler could display the new T-14 Armata tanks that have never left Russia due to ongoing technical issues.
    2
  1105.  @IFHAM1942  Was your family raised in post WW2 Germany like the person who made the original comment?
    2
  1106. Well phrased! Thank you for seeing "Christian sharia" for what it really is.
    2
  1107.  @TheHollomap  People that are good at business don't repeatedly declare bankruptcy.
    2
  1108. I'd give up Florida.
    2
  1109. Um, these are written down in detail by The Heritage Foundation. How exactly is that a "conspiracy theory".
    2
  1110.  @raygunner2437  Yes, they can use these conversations. First, b/c telling the VP to overthrow American democracy is not a Presidential act. Second, attorney-client privilege only applies between Pence and his attorneys, not Trump's attorneys.
    2
  1111. Vance wrote the introduction to Kevin Roberts (the head of The Heritage Foundation) new book. Clearly, NOT a good look for Trump/Vance.
    2
  1112.  @CoffeeWorker13  The existing Electoral College system has the same problem as why you stated a popular vote wouldn't work.
    2
  1113. I think the same.
    2
  1114.  @ap774  He is NOT saying that money wasn't given away in the transaction. He is saying that the amount of money given away was, in reality, much much less than what is being claimed.
    2
  1115. Succinct and accurate. Thank you!
    2
  1116.  @paulmatthews5255  Notice how nobody responds (especially MAGA)? I think the silence answers your question.
    2
  1117.  @TheWasatchCrown  Damn, that was some deep psychoanalytical stuff. Great point!
    2
  1118.  @kellygoodman4773  There's a big difference between a Christian like James Talarico and "Qhristian" like Mike Johnson. And I'm atheist defending freedom of religion in America.
    2
  1119. While Russia celebrates the casting out of invaders from their homeland in WW2, they simultaneously pretend that they are not the current invaders in another land.  The Russian mind and all of the contortions that it has to do to support a tyrant with their own lives is a fascinating study. It's a fragile relationship that can be broken.
    2
  1120.  @Jack0fAllTrades  Cognitive dissonance is a bitch.
    2
  1121.  @edl653  Thank you for the more adult explanation of that situation.

  1126. I was wondering why nobody was mentioning that little leap in logic:)
    2
  1127.  @srjarends849  Wasn't Stalin a dictator? Why would a person who doesn't want a dictator in America support Stalin?
    2
  1128.  @lukehelleksen68  Nice try "Luke".
    2
  1129.  @lukehelleksen68  Thank you for responding Luke. Please educate us all as to why Agenda 47/ Project 2025 isn't a boogeyman. Please start with Unitary Executive Theory, or Schedule F, or eliminating the Dept of Education with no backup plan. Thanks for taking the time to educate your fellow Americans Luke! That proves you're a patriot.

  1130.  @lukehelleksen68  Translation: "I'm not going to do any research that proves my point is wrong." Ok.

  1131.  @CakeofWisdom  If John has a nice house or a flashy car, I guess those can be legally annexed from John as well, according to John's logic.
    2
  1132.  @chadhaire1711  "Doesn't matter if it was after" being invaded by a foreign army. Chad, you're trying so hard and failing. However, I would like to see you try a little smarter...or you may be out of a job as a troll.
    2
  1133. Nobody knows what you're referring to Everett. Be a more clear. Maybe even back up your comment with a reference.
    2
  1134.  @Dope4life97  Then change your wording instead of relying on excuses.
    2
  1135.  @Dope4life97  Then change how you phrase the reference for the article. Stop making excuses. I want to see your data.
    2
  1136.  @Dope4life97  I asked for a reference, not your interpretation of a reference. Just show me the source and stop squirming around.
    2
  1137. Kinzinger was one the very few Republicans to point out: 1) Trump set up slates of fake Electors in 7 different swing states to try and steal the Electoral College. 2) Pence has publicly stated that Trump pressured him to recognize the fake Electors over the real ones. 3) Trump is recorded on a phone call to Raffensperger telling him to "find 11.780 votes". All three of these are federal felonies and can be easily proven in court.
    2
  1138.  @deadheroz  Please explain you comment.
    2
  1139.  @Mythryl12  100% agreed!
    2
  1140. Great question! IMO, no is the answer to your question.
    2
  1141. As opposed to the Russian system?
    2
  1142. I know that some people have concern about this cost. I get it, I'm a fiscal conservative. However: 1) We have spent <3% of our annual defense budget on supporting Ukraine 2) That's ~0.32% of our annual GDP 3) ~70% of the Ukraine bill goes towards paying American arms companies, employing American workers, to produce new weapons for the American armed forces. Then we give the old weapons stockpile to Ukraine, saving us the budgetary expense of having to safely decommission all of these old weapons. 4) Funding Ukraine is still WAY cheaper than the US having to go to war alongside NATO and, of course, it keeps our American troops out of unnecessary harm's way. If that's not a win, I don't know what is.
    2
  1143. Yet Prof Gerdes repeatedly (that means multiple times over) that the Ukrainian numbers are just estimates and are best utilized to look at trends as opposed to actual numbers. You forgot that part Jofurr.
    2
  1144.  @akrenwinkle  Oh, I see what you’re doing here. No matter what term people use to describe your great leader, you will say it’s childish. No thanks. I’m not playing your games.
    2
  1145. If Russia is trying to take Ukraine by force, isn’t it only fair game that China takes Outer Manchuria by force?
    2
  1146. Translated: "Hi, I'm a Russian troll spreading lies. Want to chat?"
    2
  1147.  @03056932  So you're saying that Oryx is experienced in these matters?
    2
  1148. Are you referring to Ukraine or Russia?
    2
  1149. Ha!
    2
  1150. Unfortunate but true. At least we know that if given western weapons in sufficient amounts, the Ukrainian troops can increase that ratio easily to 5:1 or greater.
    2
  1151. Hey Heritage Foundation, if I wanted to live under religious law, I'd move to Afghanistan. Trying to force your views on the rest of us Americans is NOT welcome. Go back to the dark corners where you crept out from.
    2
  1152.  @jerryranallo1123  I saw Guilfoyle on a video a few weeks ago and thought the exact same thing...what plastic surgery horror happened on your face?
    2
  1153. @ChaOzTheory It's a symbiotic two birds with one stone.
    2
  1154.  @magpiegirl3783  Agreed. Mr Snyder's way of explaining complex concepts in an easily understandable way is something I've really been admiring and strive to duplicate.
    2
  1155.  @30jspecial  Ukraine is benefitting significantly. This is a win-win for the US and Ukraine. Symbiotic.
    2
  1156. @ Ot will cost us (Americans) more money in the long run.
    2
  1157.  @jgmecarter  You are confusing economy with corporate profit. Inflation is low. Unemployment is low. However, CEO salaries are higher than ever...but workers salaries are not going up like executive's salaries. Do you see where the money flow problem is now?
    2
  1158. We can't forget that in the 2020 election, while he was accusing Democrats of rigging and stealing the election, Trump was secretly busy: 1) Setting up slates of fake Electors in seven swing states. 2) Pence publicly confirming that Trump pressured him to recognize the fake Electors over the real ones. 3) Getting recorded telling the Georgia Sec of State to "find 11,780 votes". Considering these three things, it's clear that Trump tried to overthrow American democracy, failed, and then still refused to leave office until he was about to be escorted out of the WH.
    2
  1159.  @susancassels5887  Did you watch the summit meeting between Putin and Trump?
    2
  1160.  @Converterguy  Sorry if I insulted your orange messiah.
    2
  1161.  @radiosi-su7271  How is Trump like George Washington?
    2
  1162.  @MHolt-q1q  Didn't Trump promise to lower grocery prices for working Americans?
    2
  1163. Great reporting Mr Hartmann and thank you for doing what you do.
    2
  1164. Russia leaving Ukraine is the real peace plan. Go tell that to Putin.

  1165. @ ?
    2
  1166. I am beyond happy for you! Please, focus on your daughter. Let the past lies and hurt be water under the bridge so you can be 100% present for these times.
    2
  1167. Be forewarned, Trump is going to cheat, lie, and steal this election…just like he tried to do in the 2020 election.
    2
  1168.  @CheknoEternity  There are a few of us but not that many compared to Republicans that support Trump with blind faith.
    2
  1169.  @hans7686  Unitary Executive Theory and Schedule F. It's no big mystery as every authoritarian in the 20th and 21st uses a very similar playbook to consolidate power.
    2
  1170.  @Comm.DavidPorter  It is true that Obama was lame on this issue in 2014...but Biden hasn't been. And we are now in 2024. The difference between protect and support is nothing but a "fun with semantics" game.
    2
  1171. Always remember "Walker", your lies have to be believable to be believed. Anywho...so why do you support Putin? What's in it for you?
    2
  1172. Give us your references or your claims mean nothing. What you stated about early voting isn't aligning with what everyone else is reporting...makes me very suspicious of you, like you're spreading lies.
    2
  1173.  @Gog3453 ”took care of” 🙄
    2
  1174.  @Gog3453 Screw freedom when you can have stable poverty? You’re a terrible troll and would better serve Putin if you were assigned to a Storm Z unit.
    2
  1175. @ Charging for what?
    2
  1176. @ Evidently, Ukrainians would rather have freedom than cheap Russian gas. Try another tact.
    2
  1177. As the hot air balloon named "Russia" continues to slowly lose altitude, Putin continues to force Russians to their death in hopes of getting the balloon to rise again.
    2
  1178.  @gravelydon7072  Sharing your reference source with us to do our own research would make your claim way more credible.
    2
  1179. There are a few Russian trolls on this channel using the names yellowtunes and Adair that are trying to disinform.
    2
  1180.  @DudeRX  Project 2025 has an answer for your response. "Unitary Executive Theory" within the Mandate for Leadership will attempt to make the executive branch more powerful than the legislative and judicial branches, doing with any balance of power within the federal government. Let's just face it. Project 2025 is trying to build a king out of the presidency.
    2
  1181. I’ve always wondered how Trump supporters only listen to his words but never notice that most of his actions are the opposite of his words.
    2
  1182.  @evgeniya7853  Let's have a crack at your logic... Since Russia has invaded another country illegally, murdered many thousands of Ukrainian non-military citizens, and have been proven to be stealing Ukrainian children that are deported to Russia and renamed...Russia should NOT have any legal consequences from doing these things? Am I understanding you correctly Evge? That's like saying "Just because an arsonist burned down your home, you have no right to seek financial reparations for burning down your home because the arsonist never tried to take any of your money. Please show me where my logic has glitched. Thanks Evge.
    2
  1183.  @Durzza Ooh, that was a good one.
    2
  1184.  @rollingpebble7210  That sentence doesn't even make sense. Please explain.
    2
  1185.  @civilization57  From what I've been able to learn about Project 2025, Schedule F and Unitary Executive Theory are extremely concerning as they are both "king makers"...in my estimation.
    2
  1186.  @Lettheflamestakeover-co5wi  Trump has a great rapport with Putin and Kim Jong Un. Was that your point?
    2
  1187. We keep seeing over and over, dictators are banding together to fight global democracy. Putin's allies (Xi, Kim Jong Un, Ali Khomeini, al-Assad, Maduro, Orban...and Trump) are all dictators or wanna-be dictators.
    2
  1188.  @canuckprogressive.3435  "Paul" is a troll / bot

  1190.  @peteswanson-j4i  I'm not much of a gambling man but I'd take that bet against you.
    2
  1191.  @kenkarish826  Agreed. Definitely that too, likely more so.

  1192.  @kenkarish826  I did. And then downloaded the link above to read it.

  1193. @ Agreed!

  1194. @ What consequences? There are none. If there are consequences, you tell me what they are. If you can’t tell me, then there are no consequences. The floor is yours…

  1201. I'm on your side and I hope that we're correct.

  1203.  @LouisThorp-b9m  Well phrased. Thank you.

  1205.  @psychohist HOW is Trump’s position on Ukraine stronger than Kamala’s? And thank you for backing up your own words.
    2
  1206.  @hansmueller3084  As much as Russia would if the roles were reversed.
    2
  1207.  @teresas8173  Agreed. There is no remaining Republican Party or GOP. It’s just MAGA now.

    2
  1211. (For the non Americans) Yes, Trump, MAGA, and all of their submissive errand boys like Mike Johnson are a major embarrassment to many of us, possible a majority of us. We are trying to help Ukraine but Trump has used his influence over MAGA politicians to prevent the vote for support with political trickery. As an American, I'm embarrassed at what my country is becoming under the influence of Trump and MAGA. We are working on getting funding to Ukraine as most of us see the importance of it. My aplologies for the delay as we try and cut out the MAGA cancer from our government.
    2
  1212. Not yet. Probably on Jan 6th, 2025.

  1213. First off, I am a gun owner. However, it shouldn't be easier (I am NOT saying that it should be more difficult) to get a gun than it is to vote, or drive, or apply for a building permit.

  1220.  @Malcolm-f8q  Might as well just vote for Putin.

  1221.  @kemicalhazard8770  Would be even funnier if Russia had to buy their old gear back.
    2
  1222.  @DanG-z1s  No, you’re retracting your comments to cover your tracks. I have a feeling Mr Broe would not approve of your pro-Putin and pro-Trump rhetoric. You are trying to cover your tracks b/c of your dishonesty.

  1223.  @SandraKindreich  I partied with some Scots once. The details are a bit fuzzy but it was a great time with a lot of laughter.
    2
  1224.  @BenjaminScherrey  St Petersburg access is now controlled, if NATO desires. Turkey controls access in/out of the Black Sea. Losing Vladivostok wouldn’t be the end of the world for Russia but it would be a big handicap.

  1231. In terms of GDP, the US is the 19th biggest contributor to Ukraine. Currently, the US has devoted 0.32% of the GDP Ukraine. Put it this way, if the US has $100 and gives Ukraine $10, they gave Ukraine 10% of what they had to give. Many countries with smaller GDP's have given more of what they can give. If a smaller country only has $20 but gives Ukraine $5, they've given 20% of what they had to give. For example, Estonia has given Ukraine a whopping 3.55% of it's GDP.
    2
  1232.  @beanetricemcdaniel6853  Thank you for the thank you! Pardon my OCD with numbers but my example of a smaller/poorer country giving $5 of a $20 GDP would be 25% of their GDP, not 20%.
    2
  1233.  @NeilPundick  Ugh, that was chillingly accurate.
    2
  1234. Agreed!
    2
  1235.  @eddastrohmayer251  Show us where to find these observer's report. Can you do that?
    2
  1236. Why did Trump's team shut it down as soon as they asked one question about Project 2025?
    2
  1237.  @kjaze  Then why don't you vote for the candidate who has already stated that she has a plan to reduce price gouging by grocery store chains, who has a plan to block grocery store mega mergers that will increase the price of our groceries, who has a plan to get a minimum of three million single family homes built to reduce the price of homes with more supply for the high demand, and who has a plan to to give first time home buyers a 25K credit for a down on a home? Why don't you vote for THAT candidate...instead of the candidate that did nothing for us during his 4 years in office except give big tax cuts to the people that are so rich they don't have to work if they don't want to.
    2
  1238.  @kjaze  It's your right to not participate in our democratic elections. I choose differently. Participating in the democratic process is a vote for democracy. Freedom and democracy are too important (to me) to just do nothing. And yes, I have family, friends, and neighbors on both sides.
    2
  1239.  @attasoa  Earth. What he said is entirely true. Please feel free to contradict his statement with a logical response.
    2
  1240. Remember about a month ago when Project 2025 was so politically radioactive that Trump came out with Agenda 47. Then we read Agenda 47 and realized that, except for abortion, they were the same thing. They tried to put a fresh coat of paint on P2025, give it a new name, and then tell us they have nothing to do with P2025, and that Agenda 47 is something totally different...they even put out adds stating this! This is another perfect example of why many of us, including Republicans like myself, are voting for Harris-Walz. And don't even get me started on the fake Elector scheme or the Raffensperger phone call...
    2
  1241. Non sequitur. Please explain.
    2
  1242. I watched the NABJ video. The journalist sitting closest to Trump did thank him for showing up to their event. I don't think that they were rude but they did immediately launch into a tough question right off the bat the threw some of Trump's statements back in his face. It was a fair question and a good question but could have been phased in a less accusational way. Trump stood his ground but sounded like a little bit like an entitled country club member when he said they were rude. Both sides could have done better. I think Trump pissed off a lot of black people when he said that he's been the best thing for black Americans since Abraham Lincoln. Would like to hear from other people what they thought but, please, no "my side is right, their side is wrong" stuff.
    2
  1243.  @ILuvRum My retirement portfolio has better returns now than it did in 2019. As far as world peace, you’ve got to talk to Putin and Ali Khomeini as to why they’re starting wars.

  1244. No such thing as a “good dictator”. Some are worse than others.

  1247.  @f.d.6667  We went from a President that forgot where he was to a President that wants to be a king. We the people have got to do better for our own country.

  1248.  @RedPillConciousness  What is the current US inflation rate? Is that a high or low rate?
    2
  1249. @ Couldn’t find any news story about Georgia/ Hegseth/ NATO. Would you be so kind as to cite your reference?
    2
  1250. Trump tried to overthrow the US government in 2020 just so he could stay in power. How is he even allowed to be a candidate to lead the govt that he tried to overthrow only 4 years ago?
    2
  1251.  @Jsp4609  I like your tactic. Ask about one union that hasn’t endorsed Harris, while simultaneously ignoring: 1) The other major unions that have endorsed Harris and… 2) Trump’s sparse union endorsements. Duplicitous but good!
    2
  1252. Run for office against the MAGA lies Jake!
    2
  1253. @ Better that we act. Know that we’re not alone in our concern for our country. Seek others who are also ready to take action.
    2
  1254. Considering that Victor Orban just did a "world peace" tour starting July 2nd, 2024 where he flew: 1) To Kyiv...to ask Zelensky to accept all Putin's cease fire demands, then... 2) Straight to Moscow to meet with his boss Putin, then... 3) Straight to Beijing, to meet with Xi, then... 4) Orban flew to America. But he didn't fly to Washington DC. Orban went straight to Mar-a-Lago. Based on those recent events, I think we know who Putin's man is.
    2
  1255.  @Rohan123-b9t  Whatever. Every troll uses that lame excuse.
    2
  1256. The Scandanavian countries are doing a great job of governing. In America, conservatives would call your govt programs "socialism" to make it unappealing to the average voter. Then they could make a dollar or two on running the private companies they would create to fill the gaps in social care.
    2
  1257. The old Cold War was democracy vs communism. The new Cold War is democracy vs dictators.
    2
  1258. I agree. Russian military response has been relatively minimal. I can't tell if a) Russia is accepting territorial losses in hopes of regaining it later or 2) They simply don't have the spare man power to mount a strong response in Kursk.

  1259.  @Bobbyb-r2z  Where is your "type-accent" from?

  1260. Learn how predators function. Watch their actions, study how they twist reality. It will help you in the long run.

  1261. If any Russian agrees to be a part of Putin's war, they must also be held accountable.

  1262. @ Sounds about right.

  1263.  @allanupton881  You two can cancel out each other’s votes.
    2
  1264.  @dayegilharno4988  It's not that I lost the fear of speaking truth to power, it's just that I did it despite my fear. And you're correct...there is no going back after that.
    2
  1265.  @philschiavone101  How are they alike?
    2
  1266. The drone can’t function without the 90 non domestic parts. Who gives a sh*t how many total parts it has? The learning point is that sanction enforcement needs to be more aggressive.

  1267. If Russia would just leave Ukraine, the war they started would end!

  1268.  @LjTodockin  Mostly not.

  1269.  @TheeRocker  I’m tired of the same ol’ troll excuses and lies. You can’t back up your own words, pathetic. Go away.

  1270. I would ask you to further explain your comments...but you won't, because you're a paid troll.
    2
  1271. You mean that old mafia lawyer Costello was disrespectful? Of course he wasn't, Costello is white trash.
    2
  1272.  @Arjay.M88  So we both agree that our current crop of delegates (Kennedy, Trump, and Harris) are all crap choices?
    2
  1273.  @AstroGremlinAmerican  I don't think Trump would take contracts away from Americans arms manufacturer, I just don't think the final product will be destined for Ukraine...ever.

  1274.  @TenylegMinekez-uc7co  Interesting viewpoint you've taken. Please educate us as to why you believe that anyone who supports this channel "has no clue about anything". I'd like to hear your rationale.

  1275. As Russia has already seized American and European assets within Russia, why isn't America and Europe seizing Russian assets within their countries fair game?
    2
  1276.  @davidstone-haigh4880  Putin is the only person in the world right now talking about using nukes. Therefore, it stands to reason that the rest of the world should band together to stop him specifically.
    2
  1277. This is great news that the criminals who tried to cheat democracy in AZ are going to trial. It's good to see the justice system work! I'll be honest, I thought that Kelli Ward was already in jail. Now or later, she'll pay the price for trying to cheat Arizonans.

  1280. He is a mafia-con artist-reality TV-televangelist. I have to admit, he's really fucking good at it. I just didn't foresee so many Americans falling for it, many in my own family. Trump is a pied piper for many...my ears don't hear any song at all.
    2
  1281.  @sr2291  True, with “yet” being the most concerning part.
    2
  1282. Wether or not you agree with Liz Cheney, she has been warning us for over a year now that "America is sleep walking into a dictatorship".
    2
  1283.  @TheGalacticIndian  That’s stupid. That’s like saying there’s no such thing as the United States because it’s made up of 50 states. You’re a terrible troll and should go into a different line of work.
    2
  1284. Trump is the poster child for the rich and powerful to getting treated better than middle class working Americans…meaning We the People. One set of laws and one way to apply those laws for all Americans!
    2
  1285.  @Blueeyesthewarrior  Agreed. MAGA's spineless fealty.
    2
  1286. I know! It was a sh*tty deal to begin with and then the deal got even sh*ttier...and they took it!
    2
  1287. Here we n America, we can’t figure it out either.
    2
  1288. Your response is spot on...and that's why it's gotten 231 thumbs up in one day and three separate Russian/Trump trolls in the comments.
    2
  1289.  @Have_A_Nice_Day242  Maybe this isn't the usual source of wisdom but, if you get a chance, watch the South Park episode about the importance of voting in a democracy, even if that means having to chose between "a turd sandwich and a giant douche". Trust me on this one.
    2
  1290.  @stockdale829  1) A peace deal is not inevitable and you cannot predict the future. 2) The only people who need to be held accountable for Ukraine's casualties are the people committing the casualties, Russians. Please explain if you disagree.
    2
  1291. Here's the 2024 Trump-MAGA plan: 1) MAGA election workers have been taught (Cleta Mitchell / Election Integrity Network) how to refuse to certify county and state election results based on vague claims such as "irregularities". 2) If all of a state hasn't been certified, that state's Electoral College (EC) votes cannot be counted. 3) If there are insufficient EC votes for either candidate to get 270+ EC votes, the 12th Amendment is invoked. 4) The 12th Amendment will send the undecided election to the MAGA controlled US House of Representatives. 5) Each state only gets one vote and MAGA now holds 26 of the states, giving them a majority of the votes. Regardless of how the American people voted, the MAGA House of Reps will choose who they want for POTUS. 6) If this plan doesn't work out due to legal challenges against it, it will eventually be heard by SCOTUS. SCOTUS' ruling will determine who will become the 47th POTUS.

  1292. Please enlighten us with your analysis. Thanks.

  1293. "Trump is reorienting America's moral compass." Chilling words Mr Zakaria.

    2
  1298.  @TheBuhrewnoShow  I find your comment redundant but I agree with your assessment and the action you're taking about it.
    2
  1299. @ace9840 The American working classes purchasing power (ie the average annual income adjusted for inflation) has been trending down since the 1960's.
    2
  1300. @ace9840 That's a fair assessment. As long as the trend is acknowledged, I'm content.

    2
  1309. LOL (insert random thing here) ...
    2
  1310. The individual states have until the end of Dec 11th to turn in their Electoral College (EC) votes. However, If MAGA refuses to certify election results at the county and state level, that state cannot submit their EC votes to Congress. If neither candidate gets to 270 EC votes b/c MAGA has blocked certification at the state level, then MAGA will invoke the 12th Amendment...allowing the MAGA controlled House of Representatives to choose the president they want, regardless of the results of the popular vote.
    2
  1311. Hey Ukraine! Take a hint from Muhammad Ali and play "rope a dope" with the Russian forces probing for weak spots in the Ukrainian lines. Here's to the AFU floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee!

  1312. The Finnish have proven themselves to everyone else to be strong people of integrity. Welcome to NATO...our world is more secure together!
    2
  1313. Agreed. Zelensky's offer needs to be better than Putin's offer to Trump...and our support goes to that person/country. Yeah, I know it's wrong. Makes me want to vomit but that's the way it is. Zelensky knows this. Wish the good people of the world who believe in democracy over dictators luck.

  1317.  @Depthcharger  What makes you think Trump’s agenda 47 is any different than P2025?

  1318.  @HaydenLau.  Agree with your assessment but would add that Russian domestic industry is often dependent on imported high-tech goods and sometimes imported expertise.

  1333. In Vance's book Hillbilly Eulogy, he shows that he despises poor whites for their stupidity and self-damaging substance addictions. Vance doesn't want those people to have union benefits. He's not hypocritical, he hates these people. The scary thing is that there IS a method to his madness.

  1341. @ …or the other explanation Andreas, that my assessment is correct. Look, it’s no big secret that Russia pays trolls and builds bot farms to try and control the public narrative. You are part of that. How does that make YOU feel knowing that your job is to support a genocidal dictator? I’m sure that your parents would be disappointed in what you’ve done with your life.

  1344. We all know that Trump is going to try to cheat American democracy, just like he did in 2020. I suggest we get our hands on Cleta Mitchell's course material as she's the one who's been touring the country since 2020 to train MAGA how to cheat. That is the playbook on how Trump will try to rig and steal the 2024 election.

I'm surprised Hunter didn't start yelling about 2nd Amendment infringements. As for Joe, you're going to have to find a crime for which he can be indicted. Congress has been trying that for 4 years now, but they can't come up with anything. I'm not some pro-Biden guy, but I do believe that MAGA has their punishment in mind but can't find a crime to justify the punishment.

  1348. Russia's first push in Feb 2022 was a beeline to Kiev to overthrow the Zelensky government and install a pro-Russia government. Russia didn't need to conquer all of Ukraine, they just wanted to install a puppet government. But this failed, so they went to plan B by pushing from the Donbas and Crimea. Russia has NOT achieved it's goals after three years of costly war. However, just like in Syria, Putin will claim victory whatever the outcome.

  1349.  @asnark7115  ⬅️ This is such a blatant attempt to rewrite history. However, words like this could be good as the Russian narrative is switching to “we have accomplished our goals in Ukraine”…just like Putin accomplished all of his goals in Syria.

  1352.  @gigie555  1) So we agree. No more semantics. 2) I have never doubted Russian patriotism. However, Russians currently live under the illusion of democracy, the illusion of having a say in their government. Putin controls who makes it on the ballot as well as the outcome of the election, with near statistically impossible outcomes. 3) Russian security? Who's threatening to attack Russia? The answer is "nobody". Russians are so paranoid that the West wants their shit. In America, we have individual states with economies bigger than all of Russia's. I hate to pop your bubble but we don't even think about Russia until they do something stupid, like invade Ukraine. That seems pretty clear. So, what are the bullet points that convinced you Putin was the guy for you? Thank you answering my original question...as I have been courteous to answer your questions.

  1353. Both Putin and Trump want access (and $$$) to the rich deposits of oil, natural gas, and rare earth minerals in eastern Ukraine. Hey Ukrainians...would you rather do business with the US or be a Russian puppet state again? Do you want to be a richer version of Czechia or Belarus 2.0? (We all know the answer.)

The new Cold War has become "democracies vs dictators"...everyone pick what form of government you prefer to live under and support that side!

  1385.  @darrenzb_8980  1) What is the current US inflation rate? Look it up. I'll give you a hint, it's low. 2) On cost of living: Inflation over the decades has outpaced working salaries b/c the average working person has so little say when it comes to negotiating raises. Trump's Project 2025 would severely handicap the power of Unions to negotiate with employers for raises for working Americans. If you think Trump is fighting for the common man, why was his first major political move to give the ultra-wealthy a lifelong tax break and then be recorded behind closed doors telling a room full of wealth donors "I just made a lot of people in this room a lot of money."? 3) On immigration, we would already have Senator Lankford's bipartisan border bill passed if Trump hadn't commanded his lackeys to squash it so Trump could run using the border as an issue. 3) Foreign policy...you didn't cite any examples.

  1390. @ I’m not ignoring anything. 1) We don’t know who blew up NordStream, could’ve been the Ukrainians. Germany is now purchasing non-Russian oil and gas. 2) The only Ukraine grain that I’ve seen dumped was done by Polish farmers on the border. 3) Fico and Orban are both Putin lap dogs. They both had 3 years to secure or energy sources, at the same price, but chose to remain dependent on Russian oil and gas, unlike the rest of the EU. And why should Ukraine allow Russian goods through their territory just so Russia can make more money to destroy Ukraine. That’s just stupid. Lastly, you want to talk about morality? What about Russia hitting a Kyiv children’s hospital with not one but TWO targeted missiles. What about the mass graves of civilians in Bucha? Most of them with their hands tied and a single hole in their head? How do those things make you feel?

His book Hillbilly Elegy points out Vance's frustrations with his roots. Vance had the choice to use his intelligence to try and lift up poor whites out of their self-damaging and self-limiting lifestyles. Instead, he chose to capitlalise upon their ignorance and profit off them by becoming MAGA.

As usual, I'll never know if I'm prone to conspiracy theories or we truly are seeing the world enter a new type of Cold War that will be "dictatorships vs democracies". We have seen Kim Jong Un, Xi, Khomeini, as-Assad, Orban, and Maduro rally to Putin's aid. We have seen Oban fly from Moscow, directly to Beijing, and then directly to America...but he didn't go to DC. He went to Mar-a-Lago. -The skittish fox scout

In reality, independent sovereign countries keep ASKING to join NATO as security against Russian aggression. If Russia was not imperialistic, the countries adjacent to Russia would not be seeking NATO security. Russia has brought this upon themselves b/c of their aggressive stance towards their smaller weaker neighbors.

Maybe they believe that women came from Adam's rib and are therefore subservient to man. MAGA has many people with common sense and intelligence. The fact that they support Trump says something about what they want America to become, not their cognitive ability.

  1473.  @LilMissMurder3409  SK already has the existing weapon systems in place to counter an invasion from NK. Also, they produce a lot of high quality weapons, especially for a country their size. So... a) NK will never attack SK because NK will lose that war (and half it's troops will not come back to NK). b) Currently, Russia does NOT have the weapons to give to NK. That's one of the reasons Putin went to NK, to get weapons. SK is actually in a good place to give modern weapons systems to Ukraine in terms of stock. Secondly, that just further drains Russia and NK of weapons. Thirdly, Russia has to fight with the low quality NK weapons.

  1480. In 2020, Trump tried to steal my vote with his slate of fake AZ Electors and then pressured Pence to recognize his fake Electors over the true ones.

  1490.  @Thetequilashooter1  I'm an American and I do agree with you that we have contributed A LOT to Ukraine's ability to fight off Putin's invasion. However, I too feel that current weapons limitation imposed by the US are total BS. If America gives Ukraine the green light, other countries will quickly follow suit.
    1
  1491.  @daniellai7712  He?
    1
  1492. Trump tried to overthrow American democracy in 2020. For that reason alone, he should already be in jail and not a candidate to lead the country that he just tried to overthrow.
    1
  1493. I agree with your assessment.

  1494. Prof Gerdes is a very bright guy but I wonder is his religious beliefs prevent him from seeing Project 2025 for what it really is.

  1495. Let's see how this comment ages.

  1496. Completely agree with you and thank you!

  1497. Great comment. Always interesting to learn the techniques that will be used against each of us in the modern era to sow doubt and confusion.

  1501.  @JfK--OBJECTivE  How do you rationalize "alternative facts"? Just curious.
    1
  1502. I agree. If the collective West knew Ukraine's true KIA and WIA numbers, maybe there's a chance that more Western arms would be sent without limitations on their use!
    1
  1503.  @tolrem  Trump is installing loyalists in the top military positions for that reason.

  1504. Looks like science fiction, once again, accurately predicted the future. Sci Fi certainly isn't 100% accurate on future predictions but it's better than others.

  1505. Pence is the primary reason Trump’s fake Elector scheme didn’t work to rig and steal the 2020 election. I may not agree with Pence on many things but I’d like to say thank you to Pence for saving America’s democracy!
    1
  1506. I also read the 12th Amendment but it's language seems ambiguous on this issue. Don't get me wrong, I hope you're correct.
    1
  1507.  @deannamitchell-l7h  Agreed about the stakes of this election.
    1
  1508. @ Great response. Makes sense based on my limited financial knowledge.
    1
  1509. Because Russia will not attack American or NATO military bases directly. Instead, Russia will use Iran to support jihadists to attack US bases.
    1
  1510.  @solarchaos3345  Agreed. It takes time, longer than we think. Thank you for clarifying.
    1
  1511.  @vlado3304 Correction, this is Putin’s fault. He started this war. And he must pay for his crimes against humanity.
    1
  1512. The old Cold War was communism vs democracy. The new Cold War is democracy vs dictators. Although I am fiscally conservative, I am glad that we (America) stood up to the alliance of Putin, Xi, Ali Khamenei, and Kim Jong Un. Any American that supports these monsters can go live in that country. Principles matter. Integrity matters.

    1
  1516.  @todd1770  Then you are using trigger words. Use synonyms that are not trigger words. This is very feasible.
    1
  1517.  @todd1770  You're slow Todd. Now I want you to do an experiment. Type in a response to me with every hardcore racial insult and every harsh cuss word that you can think of...and let's see where it goes. It's not big brother you tool. It's a computer algorithm that is programmed to detect certain words. Why am I explaining this to an adult? You're on your own from here Todd. Figure it out.

  1522. When is the average Russian going to figure out that they are only disposable pawns in Putin's chess game?
    1
  1523.  @walterrwrush  I wonder what percentage of Russians truly believe what Putin is saying vs don't believe him but stay quiet to avoid getting into trouble with the Russian goon squad.
    1
  1524. Good answer in it's clarity. @tyrus1686

  1525. I think that Mr. Broe was pretty clear in his presentation. No jobs = no immigrants coming here for jobs. And there is only one way to enforce that.

    1
  1529. Because they are opposed to dictatorships like Putin, Kim Jung Un, and Khomeini...you know, the only countries supporting Russia in this war. You can most likely in Xi / China in that list too. Why are you against personal freedom and democracy? @amraceway 
    1
  1530. Unless you're forced to defend yourself. @amraceway 
    1
  1531. Good to know that you support dictators instead of freedom and democracy. People like you cannot understand until it happens to you. People like me are working so that doesn't happen to you or me. That's the difference between you and me. @amraceway 
    1
  1532. That's 3.99 Russian killed or wounded per square kilometer of Ukraine they've occupied. Obviously, some areas are denser than others.
    1
  1533. Man, you got a lot of likes for announcing that you're going away. What does that mean?
    1
  1534. This story is just a distraction. Remember, Trump is trying to keep you from remembering that he tried to overthrow American democracy in 2020.
    1
  1535.  @MikeHaley-l8v  Putin’s trying to use reverse psychology. NATO is Putin’s biggest problem when it comes to invading Ukraine. Trump will pull the US out of NATO if elected…that makes Putin’s ambitions much easier for him to achieve.
    1
  1536.  @EddyMerckx-1964-Sallanches  The US is currently producing more oil than ever, we’ve already repleted the strategic oil reserve, and are exporting crude oil globally. And this has occurred starting in 2022. What’s this “drill baby drill” nonsense except more words without action?
    1
  1537.  @acslater017  Why would Russia lie or manipulate? Where to begin? How about “We’re just doing some military exercises next to Ukraine but we’re NOT going to invade Ukraine!”…but one day later, they’re headed towards Kiev. How is that NOT a lie and a manipulation?
    1
  1538.  @kaileesi  What sanctions did Trump place on Russia? Thanks for backing up your claim.
    1
  1539.  @kaileesi  Yes
    1
  1540.  @Withnail1969  For both sides. Russia is getting North Korean shells. Ukraine is getting NATO shells.

  1544. Taking out the Kirch bridge will sever the main supply route to Crimea and Kherson. However, it won’t affect the eastern front directly, only indirectly.
    1
  1545. If your logic was correct, Putin wouldn’t expend so many of Russia’s ADS around the bridge. I do not see that occurring.​ @limedickandrew6016

  1546. @ Somebody was claiming that Putin and Russia are Christian. Which is not truthful.

  1550.  @robertpendzick9250  Why was your bank the only one to have this happen?
    1
  1551.  @robertpendzick9250  Must’ve been your bank. I never had any trouble. I haven’t heard of anyone else having issues. Was your transaction successful the next day?
    1
  1552. Only if you're not a billionaire.

  1553. I love how Trump's "give me money" ads come up during Jake's show. I just watch that sh*t go by and am glad that those con artists are paying for it.

  1554. Our idiot President is getting manhandled by Putin and Xi.
    1
  1555. Not needed. All you have to do is wait.
    1
  1556. It's a very successful scare tactic for MAGA, i.e. it wins elections for them. Remember, scare tactics do not have to be consistent or logical. In fact, the more inconsistent and illogical they are, they tend to work even better. @Morristown337 
    1
  1557. Agreed. I would strongly support a new system where every American gets 1.0 votes (no more, no less). @cykkm

  1560.  @nockianlifter661  Specifically, he respects dictators. It's his goal.
    1
  1561.  @eamonnkeenaghan3535  As long as Trump gives Putin everything Putin wants, the work will go along pretty quickly. Although Ukraine, Europe, and the rest of the democratic world won't go along with the Putin-Trump plan.

  1562. Russia kept a bag of hot air financially afloat for decades while he continued to shoot himself in the foot mismanaging and losing the hundreds of millions of dollars that daddy left him.
    1
  1563. Hey look, Trump and his billionaire cronies found a new way to cheat in American elections! I despise cheaters. Vote Blue.
    1
  1564. What is the difference between Project 2025 and Trump's Agenda 47 besides abortion?
    1
  1565. A valid government issued ID (valid driver's license or a valid passport) is required for voting. What was your point?
    1
  1566. That’s because BRIC’s is worth a penny compared to a dollar. The real reason Russia wants to utilize local currencies?…because no one will trade in worthless rubles. To be fair, Russia was freaking out when China and I dia insisted on buying Russian crude in yen and rupees instead of rubles. Remember that?
    1
  1567.  @Comm.DavidPorter  You are correct, Biden is rolling out weapons support way too slow and with conditions that tie one arm behind Ukraine's back. However, it is equally important to note the Trump (via Mike Johnson) held up ALL arms supplies to Ukraine for eight months.
    1
  1568.  @robertsmith4681 No one is burning American flags like you’re saying. At least not in America.

  1569.  @shafts2447  whatever. nice try.

  1571.  @justinwallace390  Russia couldn’t have done it with shovels.
    1
  1572.  @imoverhere8327  Trump doesn’t and cannot build long term profitable businesses except for elite golf country clubs that would never allow the rank and file MAGA member into the premises. Seems like Trump makes most of his money on the initial splash eg with NFT’s, tennis shoes, exclusive “black Trump cards” that aren’t even true credit cards, cheap Bibles, and now, crypto.
    1
  1573.  @alexwavves7756  I have seen too many Latino / Hispanic comments here as opposed to every other thread on this topic. The Trump bot farm and trolls have been commanded to create the illusion of a widespread latino support for Trump.
    1
  1574.  @jrstar1439  Translation: You've touched upon a nerve and this topic needs to be redirected, so I'll use an insult. Nope. As soon as Harris got the LULAC endorsement, the pro Trump social media was flooded with people claiming to be latino. It's all smoke and mirrors, just like Trump. And I am a registered Republican.
    1
  1575.  @jrstar1439  I'm a fiscal conservative that is voting for Harris. Anybody belonging to any party is free to vote for any candidate in any party. Sticking to party lines is stupid in the 21st century.

  1576. If MAGA wasn't trying to build an authoritarian Christian theocracy and force it upon the rest of us, we would probably let their weirdness slide without a comment.

  1577. See “revisionist” in the dictionary. If you’re going to try and convince me that the world is flat, at least throw in some reputable references.

  1578. "America first will be America alone." Well phrased, thank you!
    1
  1579.  @ncwordman  You're just like me. Give a troll a chance to defend their claim...and they usually just fade away b/c they rarely have anything to support their own claims.
    1
  1580. I agree with all of your points. Except for two. If Trump/Vance are elected, US support for Ukraine will stop and the US will be out of NATO. They both have said so. Why do you not believe them is my question for you.
    1
  1581. Putin will be listening to Putin. That’s the most concerning part.
    1
  1582.  @ExestentialCrisis  Trump’s attorneys and SCOTUS did their jobs to push Trump’s federal trial until after the election. We are all well aware that Trump would’ve been disqualified if this trial had concluded before the election.
    1
  1583.  @jamiemacdonald208  PS I 100% agree with Mr Snyder, Mr Kasparov, and you that Putin is a fascist and Trump is a wanna-be fascist.
    1
  1584.  @jamiemacdonald208  Yes, I agree. You deal with dictators the same way as school bullies. You get your friends together and you handle the problem after school.
    1
  1585.  @skytowergnome4664  Do you remember the South Park episode on democracy? They were forced to choose between a giant douche and a turd sandwich as the only two candidates. However, it's more important than ever to exercise our right to vote.
    1
  1586. The time is right for Belarusians to oust Lukashenko and start a new democratic government while the Russians are stretched thin in Ukraine. Russia can’t afford two fronts.
    1
  1587.  @kerrynowell6740  Sh*t, Trump is ready to give Ukraine to Putin for a peace deal. We all know that! Come on Kerry, don't be the last one off the sinking boat.

    1
  1594.  @randyellis9460  It's not looking that way but we'll both have to wait for the election. And then we can see how Trump plans on rigging and stealing the 2024 election like he tried to do with the 2020 election.

  1597. And the natural fortress of Ukraine.
    1
  1598. Ukraine is a sovereign country and has the right to decide if they want to align with the West or with Russia. Ukrainians chose to align with the West because they want to be a success story like Czechia, not Belarus 2.0.

  1599.  @alvarobarcala  Your point is bullsh*t anyway. Why would bother to try and comprehend BS? Look, your a Putin troll. You’re just doing what you’re paid to do.

  1600. Why?

  1601.  @anonymous175  Can’t you apply that same rationale to any candidate? Why not Harris?

  1602.  @yellowtunes2756  I'll trade thoughts with you Yellowtunes. Why do you support Putin?
    1
  1603.  @yellowtunes2756  All of your comments are biased against Ukraine and the West. However, you never seem to mention that the cause of this war is Putin.

  1604.  @yellowtunes2756  I have to go but hope to answer this in the future. Are you a breathing human or an AI? Be truthful with me, please.
    1
  1605.  @yellowtunes2756  I support what the people of Ukraine and Taiwan want for their own governance. And you?
    1
  1606.  @yellowtunes2756  Donbas and Crimea didn't get the chance to vote their future. They were both invaded by Russia who then held sham elections. Next comes the part where you try to convince me that the majority of the people in Donbas and Crimea actually wanted to join Russia.
    1
  1607. And leaving the western border of Russia with only a skeletal crew of troops b/c “NATO is such a big threat to invade us”. It’s all BS from Russia.
    1
  1608. @ Russia is gaining ground in Ukraine. Primarily because of their meat wave attacks with extremely high casualties. But hey, throwing away Russian lives has been Russia’s wartime history! “Putin’s pawns”.
    1
  1609. So you're saying that a world at peace, that doesn't spend large sums of it's budget on it's military, is a provocation?

  1615.  @ElNiño-s4k  Trump does NOT speak for Americans. And yes, I’m born and raised in the USA.
    1
  1616.  @ElNiño-s4k  Does that mean that you should be speaking for Africa, not America?
    1
  1617.  @ElNiño-s4k  Kamala Harris has a also American. My family? We’ve been American longer than your family.

  1618. I'm not for sure but I think it means that a maximum of three candidates can be voted on for POTUS if the 12th Amendment is invoked. But please don't take my word as gospel.

  1622.  @Mateja12965  Still hoping to hear your explanation on this one. I know that it will be a good one.
    1
  1623.  @aydenee558  The authoritarian leaders of Russian, China, North Korea, and Iran control the flow of information to their subjects to teach them to oppose the Western democracies by demonizing them. It's the only way they can continue to remain in control in the global internet age, by convincing them: 1) War is peace (ie security from threats) 2) Freedom is slavery (ie "democracy is bad") 3) Ignorance is strength (ex VPN's are bad)
    1
  1624. Between Trump and Putin, only one of them has launched a brutal military invasion against another sovereign country. That's the difference.
    1
  1625.  @Unholy_Louie Bullsh*t. Keeping it from becoming the norm is the point.
    1
  1626.  @bloepje  Trump has other endorsements besides Orban! Putin, Kim Jong Un, Xi, Ali Khomeini…lots of endorsements!
    1
  1627.  @bigcity2085  Agreed. The GOP has somehow become the “pro-dictator” party.
    1
  1628.  @davoodoo8042  Decent attempt at a Jedi mind trick. Russia has used threats and weapons nvasions on their neighbors to n the past. Now, Russia’s neighbors don’t trust Russia, so they ask to join NATO. …And then Russians ask “why?”🙄🙄🙄
    1
  1629.  @tasospanagiotou7823  Why was the first move made? It was because none of the former Soviet Republics trusted Russia. So those countries ASKED to voluntarily join NATO. Russia should have been more cooperative and less threatening...now Russia is reaping what it has sown.
    1
  1630. @ When were the referendums to remain aligned with Russia?
    1
  1631. @ PLEASE stop dodging my questions. What date did Ukraine apply for NATO membership? It’s a simple internet search and you keep avoiding it!
    1
  1632. Yeah but Trump was vaccinated.
    1
  1633. Did you mean to type "demonocracy"?
    1
  1634.  @joshuaohuka7719  Unfortunately, that's how fights are won or lost. In a fistfight, if one side starts to bite and kick, then biting and kicking become fair game for both sides. The silent majority of America is sick of MAGA. MAGA took their gloves off first and now we are doing the same.
    1
  1635. Great point!
    1
  1636. I agree that Zelensky should be at that meeting.
    1
  1637. I think everyone is focused on how the Patriot system is doing NOW, not in the past. Also, I don't know of anyone who is saying that you shouldn't utilize your prisoner workforce during a time of war. What exactly are you referring to?
    1
  1638. The old Cold War was democracy vs communism. The new Cold War is democracies vs dictators.
    1
  1639. Let's focus on the traitors first. Afterwards, we'll focus on the people who were too timid but weren't traitors to our country. Prioritize.
    1
  1640.  @natalianakoriakova8084  If you focus on Garland’s lack luster performance now, it just allows Trump to rig and steal the 2024 election using the 12th Amendment. If you’re pro Trump, that’s a good thing. If you’re pro democracy, that’s a foolish thing. Which are you?
    1
  1641.  @6789uiop  Not half. One third at MAGA's peak of influence. Fortunately, the numbers of MAGA supporters is dwindling as MAGA legislators have proven in the public sphere that they are incompetent and cannot govern nor even manage their responsibilities.
    1
  1642. We're a democratic republic. That's why we vote for our representatives.
    1
  1643.  @thepaperplush9340  It’s what’s echoing inside the echo chambers that’s important.

  1645.  @Agent-ww8yi  Ooh, this sounds fun. First off, are you bot or troll?

  1646. Hey SCH*T, you keep forgetting to mention all of the Ukrainian schools, hospitals, grocery stores, and restaurants the Russians keep hitting with missiles. Why is that? I look forward to your reply.

  1656. It's just part of a long line of parallels.

  1657. That would be a real bummer. Let’s work so that it doesn’t happen.
    1
  1658. If Ukraine can take over the Russian defense lines within Russia, all they have to do is turn the defenses to face north instead of south...creating a buffer zone against Russian artillery and infantry, as well as more warning time agianst Russian aerial attacks.
    1
  1659.  @dariusaliena5237  Please list the treaties that the US broke with Putin. Thank you.
    1
  1660.  @alexvaiman4966  You are correct because Putin does not want peace with Ukraine. Putin wants the US and NATO to stop supporting Ukraine with weapons and money.

  1663.  @dariusaliena5237  I have. But you have not. Stop being lazy.

  1669. All the Russian lies about "NATO nukes aimed at Russia" in Ukraine is bullsh*t. Russia barely had a word to say when Finland joined NATO despite Finland's very close proximity to St Petersburg, Baltic ports and shipping channels, and the large Russian military base at Murmansk. It's all lies people.
    1
  1670.  @187Rajah  "Feel the difference"? Do you even know the difference? You flipped your numbers around from what the BBC reported. Oh! You must be referring to all the CIVILIAN Ukrainians (moms, kids, grandparents, babies, etc) that have been killed by Russians. Yeah, that could be 500,000. I stand corrected.

  1671. B/c Biden couldn't mention much of anything in that debate. Biden is too old and it looks like he has Parkinson's. Trump is too old as well.

  1672. As Arizonans, more of us need to should be talking about how Trump and his cronies setting up a slate of fake Electors to try and rig the election. If Pence had gone along with Trump's 2020 plan, everyone in AZ who didn't vote for Trump would have had their vote stolen away from them and that is the opposite of democratic, honest, and fair. Trump is NOT for We The People. If he was, he would respect our collective democratic decision as Arizonans. Don't believe me, look it up for yourself. Do a little research on Kelli Ward as she's probably heading towards a little bit of jail time b/c she did Trump's illegal work for him.
    1
  1673.  @halo129830  As opposed to slates of fake Electors in seven different swing states, pressuring the VP to recognize the fake Electirs o Dr the real ones, and then being recorded telling a Sec of State to “find 11,780 votes”? Maricopa running out of ballots was very poor planning and unprofessional but isn’t even the same league of election fraud as what I mentioned above.

  1677. Instead of helping Americans during a national disaster by working together and calming fears, Trump chooses to use it as a tool for his campaign. And the best part of it all, it's all based on lies that he is tellling. Now there's some real leadership.

  1680.  @yellowtunes2756  This is a new shift when a Russian troll goes from saying…Russia will nuke us all!…to what are you going to do when a Muslim extremist nukes you with one of the old Russian nukes.

  1693. Trump's strength is also his weakness. Trump's alignment with The Heritage Foundation and their Project 2025 is hurting him badly. He spoke authentically when he praised The Heritage Foundation's policies on a video from April 21, 2022. Unless Trump publicly disavows Kevin Roberts, The Heritage Foundation, and Project 2025...his campaign is over. It will also be of vital importance that Trump's Georgia trial nor his federal trial not start before the election as the information brought forth from the trial proceedings will galvanize the vote against him except for the most hard core Trump followers.

  1701.  @tasospanagiotou7823  How do you know that for sure without referendums? Were there referendums held in those 16 countries showing that they did NOT want to join NATO? All joking aside: 1) We recognize you as a Putin troll based on multiple recent comments, all citing Kremlin talking points. 2) You and I both know the eastern Europen countries have the option of becoming economically much stronger like Czechia and Poland if they align with the West or becoming the next Belarus if they join Putin. Honestly "taso", which would you choose and why?
    1
  1702. I doubt Russia will give NK ICBM's. However, Putin will give them rocket technologies to strive for that goal.

  1709. Time is not on the side of the Russian economy. Putin needs finalization this year.
    1
  1710. Any of us would have been in jail a long time ago if we had called Raffesnsperger and demanded that he "find" enough votes for us to win the state election. Trump thinks he is above the law. Georgia, do America proud and show that there is one law that applies to ALL Americans...and TELEVISE the trial so the world can see just how crooked, awful, and amoral Trump truly is.
    1
  1711. The Ukrainians that Russia has murdered wanted Russia invaders out of their country. That's it. It's that simple...despite your best Russian troll efforts Adair...or whatever your real name is. Now Adair, PLEASE explain to me why you support Putin?
    1
  1712. The old Cold War was democracy vs communism. The new Cold War is democracies vs dictators. Putin, Xi, Kim Jung Un, Khomeini, Orban, Maduro, al-Assad, and Trump (yes, I said it) are all in on the same scam.

  1716. I'm sorry Willie but you've missed the boat on that one. Trump got busted for falsifying financial business records. You or I would also be busted if we did the same thing. You either need to believe in one of the two options: A) No one is above the law and the law applies to every American equally, or... B) The law does NOT apply to the rich and/or powerful like it does for the common American. Just curious Willie, do you support option A or B?

I may not be cheering on Harris as enthusiastically as many but I'm sure as hell not voting for someone who tried to overthrow American democracy by trying to rig and steal the 2020 election with fake Electors in the swing states, pressuring Pence to recognize the fake Electors, and calling Raffensperger to tell him to "find 11,780 votes"! Country (and democracy) over party or individual!
    1
  1729.  @arnoldlueders7500  They were dumb enough to believe Trump’s lies about a rigged and stolen election. When, in reality, Trump and MAGA were the ones trying to rig and steal the 2020 election. If you want proof, ask me.

  1739. If we assume that only half of the ~7700 Russian casualties over the last week occurred on the Eastern front (likely a somewhat conservative estimate) in order to take 22 square miles. That's still approximately 175 Russian casualties per one square mile of territory gained. How long can Putin keep burning through Russians citizens? More importantly, how long can Putin keep doing this before the Russian people wise up and push back?

  1760.  @AstroGremlinAmerican  I'm an American that does live in America and I can say your second sentence is total BS. Regarding your first sentence...if Trump would stop telling his lackeys to shoot down bipartisan border bills, the border crisis could have already been mostly fixed! Trump is making the problem worse just because he wants to hold campaign rallies around that issue in order to get elected. If he really cared about solving the border problem, he tell his legislative monkeys to vote yes on bipartisan border bills. It's that simple.

  1777.  @jonathanblum2994  Russia’s advantage is that the average Russian seems to value their life as little as Putin values their life. To Putin, Russians are nothing more than disposable pawns in his chess game…and Russians seem ok with that.
    1
  1778. Ukraine will not ask for soldiers. Nice scare tactic but it falls flat. The only way the us Westerners would ever have "boots on the ground" is if we let Putin win in Ukraine and Putin then attacks a NATO country, triggering article 5. @goenzoy712 
    1
  1779. Another attempt at freshman psychology. Germany was the aggressor the last two times. Now Russia is the aggressor and Germany is part of an alliance of democracies. Good try but you're going to have to do better. @LaluBhaiya1233

  1780. Is this Medvedev? Your points are trash. Look, the total American defense budget is 3-4% of the national GDP. On top of that, we/ve only spend about 3-4% of our annual defense budget on Ukraine. The Treasury is fighting moderate inflation but is othwerise fine (and American inflation is way lower than Russian inflation under Putin). There's plenty of dollars to pay American workers to produce American weapons that will replete American defense stockpiles while we give Ukraine our old weapons that we were going to have to pay for their safe disposal anyway. @danielhutchinson6604 
    1
  1781. With all due respect Professor Gerdes, Trump’s post is nothing more than a verbatim collection of Russian disinformation talking points that show up in the comments below your videos prior to Trump’s post. They are the exact same points. Please just acknowledge this for what it is. If Margarita Simonyan had written the post for Trump, it wouldn’t have been any different.
    1
  1782. Because sending billions to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel is the best way to save us trillions in the future, as well as American lives. This is a good investment in the people and the economy of America.
    1
  1783. It’s going to primarily boil down to a “numbers game” involving weapons. So far, Russia has only been able to gain ground with two methods: 1) The element of surprise at the onset of the invasion and… 2) Whenever Ukraine has a major weapons shortage. Otherwise, Russia just loses soldiers and materiel with very little success.
    1
  1784. ⁠I do agree with your assessment about Ukraine but it also neglects Putin’s desperation. The entire Russian national economy has now been converted to war mode. Not because Putin wanted to but because he HAD to. Not to mention that Russia cannot sustain this pace without Iran’s, North Korea’s, and China’s help.
    1
  1785. Exactly. If you don't go to the front, there will be a BS charge filed against you and off to the front you go!

  1790. "Democracies vs Dictators" is the new Cold War. I just didn't think that America would be on the dictator's side of the equation.

  1791.  @TheYeti308  This isn’t a left or right issue for Americans. Many Republicans support Ukraine. Many Democrats want the death to stop at any cost. Your incorrect assessment of what Americans really think makes me believe that you’re not even American.

  1792.  @ЗлойБро-п6с  Impressive. You covered every single Russian and pro-Putin in only one paragraph!

  1793. Because the Democrats would have to give up over $130 million dollars. Don't play stupid. Money is one of the main factors in our elections. If you don't like it, then have the Supreme Court overturn Citizens United (and I support you in that effort). Now you know the answer to your question.

  1795.  @geoffreypershouse70  I've always wondered why blue collar Americans love Trump while Trump screws them over in favor of billionaires. I can't remember the song but it says something like "You see those people on TV. They think they're better than you and you agree". I think that may be part of the mindset that adores Trump. I could also be wrong and/or crazy.
    1
  1796.  @acebooncoon669  What about all of the overlap between Agenda 47 and Project 2025? Trump needs to tell the American public in very clear terms that no part of Project 2025 (unitary executive theory, schedule F, etc, etc) will ever be pursued by his administration. The only catch is that over 100 of Trump's former WH staff are contributing authors to Project 2025.

  1812. In addition to trying to get the election decided by SCOTUS, Trump’s worshipers working the election will delay vote certification at the county and state level long enough to prevent Harris from getting to 270 EC votes…this will invoke the 12th Amendment. Once the 12th is activated, the MAGA controlled House of Reps chooses the next President according to the Constitution.

  1839. I've followed Fox News for a while now, learning how they operate. For people that are not familiar with Fox, please be aware that Fox News (FN)is very different from Fox Business News (FBN). FBN actually has instances of true objectivity like when the FBN financial analysts admitted that the stock markets are doing great, unemployment is very low, and inflation is now < 4%...under the Biden administration. The main channel (FB), is primarily angry white people telling us how we Americans have been wronged, tricked, and duped by bad/sick/stupid/lazy/crazy liberals and that it is destroying the fiber of America. FN and FBN are two very different channels.

  1841. Would be a controlled NATO response to confine Russian military to within Russian borders and deactive Russia's military industry. Would not be a military operation to cease Russia's existence, therefore does not meet criteria for a nuclear response...unless Putin changes the Russian law once again. You know, moving the goal posts midgame.

  1855. I'm a middle-aged American and have never had animosity towards the common Russian person. I have always wanted the people of Russia to enjoy the democratic freedoms and relative (to Russia) economic prosperity that we westerners enjoy. Russia had this chance in the early 1990's but, unfortunately, ended up with yet another Tsar in the form of Putin. America has no ill will with the common Russian. After Putin's war is over, we're ready to do business together.

    1
  1873.  @Abuser89  I read UN SCR 2202. It provides a framework for the Minsk Agreements. Which Russia promptly violated by sending in more Russian forces into Donetsk and launching a new offensive. SCR 2202 does not mention anything about chemical nor biological weapons. I'm sorry but I cannot blindly accept your vague accusation of "evidence of violations of several critical provisions of international law". An additional reference or two would be required. To date, you have directed me towards the Minsk Agreements, which Russia violated. You will most likely tell me that the reason for Russian violated the Minsk agreement was the unfounded "violations" you listed above. You've gone a lot further than most pro-Putin advocates in explaining your rationale. But without a reference to the "violations" all we know is that Ukraine, Russia, France, and Germany signed a treaty, and Russia broke their word shortly afterwards.

  1874. @ That is a fair statement. However, it isn’t a bias to have skepticism regarding Putin’s remarks based on recent events.

  1911. Some of Trump's policies I agree with but what still concerns me is that in the 2020 election, Trump: 1) Created slates of fake Electors in seven swing states. 2) Pence has now publicly stated that Trump pressured him to recognize the fake Electors over the real Electors. 3) Trump's recorded phone call where he told Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes". It's clear what the goal of the plan was.

  1912.  @williamalexander9485  And it’s only costing Putin about one thousand dead/wounded Russian soldiers for every one square kilometer of Ukraine captured!

  1918.  @DanaProca-x6i  Sounds like Ukraine has problems regarding minorities that need to be fixed. However, that does not justify Putin’s invasion of Ukraine that has caused mass death, kidnapping, sexual assaults, suffering, and destruction. I even feel bad for the Russian men that are dying in muddy Ukrainian farm fields against their will b/c Putin mobilized them. Putin is using those Russian men’s lives as nothing more than paving stones to build his walkway into Ukraine. PS Thank you for responding and thank you for caring about the kidnapped Ukrainian children.

  1919.  @nobodycancrossit1379  Is that why Putin has kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian children and taken them to Russia against their will? You are either on Putin’s payroll or I’ve got a bridge in the desert to sell you. Which one is it?
    1
  1920. Sorry, I forgot to include Xi with Putin and the others. China seems to be a little different though. China is supplying Russia with "dual purpose" equipment for Russia's war effort...but Russia needs to be very careful before China owns them.

  1939. @ PS How is Ukraine entering NATO any different from Finland entering NATO?

  1940. @ That’s a common story for many eastern Euro countries. Russia has a long record of threats and intimidation towards smaller and weaker countries adjacent to them. What can we say? Russia should have approached these countries with cooperation and not the goal of control. Russia under Putin is reaping what they have sown. Why was Finland going into NATO not a big deal, but Ukraine is a big deal?
    1
  1941. @ Thank you but that doesn’t address the original question. Putin is saying that he had to attack Ukraine b/c NATO missiles in Ukraine are an existential threat to Russia. Why aren’t NATO missiles in Finland also an existential threat to Russia? PS Thanks for taking this question on. Most people won’t touch it.
    1
  1942. @ Thanks for the response. Two thoughts: 1) Putin could agree that Ukraine has the exact same NATO restrictions as Finland. Problem solved. 2) Ukraine would never initiate a war with Russia…but they will fight an invader.
    1
  1943. And to have Trump block American military aid to Ukraine so that the Ukrainians are forced to fight with one hand tied behind their back. Russia cannot win an even fight.
    1
  1944. True but the collective West is much much better prepared to absorb this cost without crashing their economies than Russia. Putin’s vanity will break the Russian economy. The average Russian needs to start saving aggressively for their retirement because their pensions are now being spent in Ukraine.

  1969.  @Dingleberry777  Untrue statement. They are not throwing him in prison b/c he's running for president. They are throwing him in jail for business fraud...you know, proven with tax statements, business ledgers, receipts, emails, etc. Americans do NOT want the rich and powerful to have special treatment under the law. One set of American laws applies equally to all Americans!

  1980. Mr Rehi is correct about the best news for Ukraine is the global decrease in the price of oil while Russian refining capacity dwindles. 1) It forces Russia to sell cheap crude but buy expensive gas, diesel, and jet fuel. 2) Western leaders can worry much less about destabilizing global economy / energy prices…as Russia’s market shrinks.

  1982. I still don't even know the objective to see if the offensive failed or succeeded. If it was to gain more square km, then it wasn't a success. If it was to gain stronger defensive positions to hold Kursk more securely, it could have been a success.

  1986. Just take Russia's international assets already. There are already multiple precedents set where the losing country had to pay war reparations as a term of surrender. The only difference is that now we are getting an advance on Russia's war reparations to Ukraine. This has gone on for a long time, the only difference now is timing.

  1990. US oil production will increase under Presidential Executive Order. Trump has consistently promised "Drill baby drill" and he personally stands to make a lot of money off this deal. If US oil and gas and Saudi oil becomes the same price as Russian oil and gas, Russia will be left with very few international buyers for Russian petroleum products. This can financially strangle Russia when their economy is most vulnerable.

  2007.  @kinturner2447  If I have to balance my household's budget, the government should have to balance theirs. Neither party is accomplishing that goal.

They were the kids that none of us wanted to play with at recess just because they were always whining when they didn't get their way. Biased? Prove it to me Jones! I'll give you a hint. Trump and his peeps left a paper trail that got used against them in court. Please explain how a paper trail of evidence is biased.

  2014. The majority of us Americans are tired of MAGA cry-baby'ism.

  2027.  @dannyingram1196  The areas that I focused on were: 1) Schedule F 2) Unitary Executive Theory 3) Dismantling the Dept of Education w/o a backup public Ed plan. There, I just have you three things that I’ve read and are why I’m here. Now you go read and convince me why Unitary Executive Theory is a good idea.
    1
  2028.  @dannyingram1196  That’s NOT what it says. Stop lying. Schedule F makes almost all federal employees “political appointees”. One person could immediately hire/fire 40k to 50k govt employees. It’s the exact same move taken in past dictatorships in the last 100 years.
    1
  2029.  @dannyingram1196  Great. That’s your opinion, you have the right to that as do I. Tell me what Trump’s plan to replace the Dept of Education is. How do we educate our kids? What’s the new plan listed in Agenda 47/ P2025?
    1
  2030.  @dannyingram1196  Unitary Executive Theory is a set of steps to raise the exec branch over the judicial and legislative branches. An example is the increased use and legal weight of executive orders, allowing potus to bypass Congress.
    1
  2031.  @dannyingram1196  Basically Danny, Agenda 47 is copying all the same things that Putin and Chavez did to become dictators. And I’m sorry if we disagree but I know that keeping American democracy is more important than whoever’s in the WH. Vote for Trump, worship him if you’d like, I don’t care what you do. For me, I’m a patriot and that means NO KINGS.

  2032.  @dannyingram1196  BS, you’re lying again. On April 4th 2022, there’s video of Trump praising The Heritage Foundation and how his administration has accomplished a lot of its goals. Look, your entire defense is that Trump has never endorsed it publicly in 2024 during an election year. Why hasn’t he? Because it’s politically radioactive. And you can’t deny that the only former Trump Cabinet members supporting him are authors on P2025. However, I would like to hear your next defense and am enjoying our debate. Thank you.

  2037.  @TodaysDante  I'm not Barbie, but when it comes to a failed coup attempt, I would point out: 1) Trump's slates of fake Electors in seven swing states. 2) Pence publicly stating that Trump pressured him to recognize the fake Electors over the real Electors, against the will of the American people. 3) The recorded Raffensperger phone call to "find 11,780 votes". All three of those are easily provable federal felonies and show disrespect to American democracy, the rule of law, and our Constitution.

  2038. Good point.

  2039. I think that we can all agree that election integrity is extremely important, especially when it comes to certifying results at the county level (unless there is objective evidence to not do so). And I think that most of us support prosecuting election officials that fail to do their job...whether it be cheating or obstructing.

  2040. Notice that when asked if Trump truly lost the 2020 election, they all say the exact same thing..."I'm looking to the future, that's the past, blahblabblah, needs of the American people...". That's exactly what liars do.

  2042.  @kerriwilson7732 MAGA did, and is still doing, everything in its power to stop money and weapons to Ukraine? Is it because of isolationism? No, because they wanted to fund Israel.

MAGA is now out of reasons to help defeat Putin but they keep supporting him. Why is that?

  2060. @ I can see that you’re dodging facts. Russia attacked Ukraine BEFORE Ukraine applied to NATO. So who started this mess? Please answer the original question before jumping to other points as a distraction. Here are the other points you’re missing: 1) Finland shares a border with Russia and is very close to St Petersburg, port access, and Murmansk…yet Putin had nothing to say about Finland joining NATO. Why is that different than Ukraine? 2) How much say does Ukraine have in saying who Russia can ally with? The answer is none. And that’s the exact same amount of say Russia has as to who Ukraine can ally with.
    1
  2061. Know why Putin wasn't happily arrogant at the Victory Day parade? Because he is painfully aware that he has started something that he can't finish. And if he cannot finish it, he will be finished. When we watch Putin, we are watching a dead man walking.

  2065.  @paulkelly4731  Your enthusiasm for Putin is charming but misguided. The fact is that Russian HAD to give up Kherson, they had no other option. The other fact is that if Putin could retake Kherson, he would. But he can’t. He doesn’t have the manpower or the weapons to do so.
    1
  2066. They are facing the same issues as the Russian T=90 tanks...suseceptibility to drones. The only difference is that Russia learns the hard way on the battlefield. American weapons manufacturers get free R&D in Ukraine so the next generation of Abrams won't need cope cages.

  2074.  @yellowtunes2756  You claimed that Putin visited NK regularly, which is a lie and you know it. When did NATO beg non-NATO countries for Ukraine assistance? Those non-NATO countries freely volunteered their assistance without begging. However, if you want to show me proof that NATO begged, I'll read it. Backing up your claims is important Yellow, yet you fail to do it repeatedly...and I know why. Thirdly, I was never talking about prewar trade balances between US and Russia, so you're third point doesn't make any sense. Now go find some references to prove that you are not lying to me. Thanks Yellow.
    1
  2075.  @yellowtunes2756  Sure, you can have the semantics point about buying and begging. However, if I were a cat, I’d pounce on that weak argument of yours about Putin just going for a friendly little visit to NK. The global world is splitting into democracies vs dictatorships…with Russia, NK, Iran, Belarus, and Syria on the losing end. Why do you favor dictators Yellow?

  2076.  @Jbo2000  It's a shame that JD hates blue collar Americans. Have you ever read Vance's book Hillbilly Eulogy? JD thinks that blue collar Americans are stupid and self destructive. Don't believe me, check it out for yourself and tell me what you think, even if you just read the Cliff Notes.

  2077. A lot people here saying that the West confiscating Russia's international assets will doom the dollar as the international currency of choice. That is untrue.

As much as I dislike Democratic spending, I have to admit that they are not trying to create American kings nor Christian sharia like MAGA is trying to do.

  2112.  @haraldthi  I'm game to hear you out. Why do you think that Trump is a more democratic choice than Harris?
    1
  2113.  @predabot__6778  Honestly, I think that only Haraldthi can clarify that for us.

  2114.  @davidkottman3440  I appreciate the legitimate response. I'd like to ask you one question. Do you believe that every American gets 1.0 votes in an election or should some people get more/less than 1.0 votes?
    1
  2115.  @davidkottman3440  I'd like to focus on the second sentence. In layman's terms (I'm just a regular guy), HOW does "one person, one vote" ignore the existence of the constituent states"? That statement is vague and does not make sense to me. Thank you for clarifying.
    1
  2116.  @davidkottman3440  I'm not a scholar but I've read a little bit about the Constitutional debate regarding the balance (and division) of powers between the federal and state governments. I know enough to know that the Constitution is not explicitly clear on this and that multiple different Constitutional scholars have produced multiple different interpretations. Don't get me wrong, flexibility in any system (including a constitution) is a good thing. It seems that your interpretation is more states power / less federal power. Is this correct?

  2120. Russia's psychological tactic of projection seems to be no different than Trump's/MAGA's "rigged and stolen" election scheme. Americans learning this psych trick can also utilize it to spot domestic lies.

  2121. If Harris wins this race and if Trump's plans to steal the election don't pan out, I predict he's going international. He'll leave the country before he goes to jail and goes bankrupt.

  2135. If Trump becomes President and the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 takes effect, Mr Donalds needs to realize that non-whites will have a place in the new society...as long as they know their place in that new society. PS I am not racist but I can foresee this coming if Trump is elected. People should know what they're getting into. Strangely, I think Mr Donalds knows this but proceeds anyway.

  2136. MAGA will delay the vote certification at the county and state level, until they can invoke the 12th Amendment, then the MAGA controlled House will pick Trump as President. Not saying I agree with it. Just saying be ready for it.
    1
  2137.  @LoganStargazer  Great point! I hadn't thought of that and hope that is the case. As long as MAGA can't invoke the 12th prior to change of office...which they'll try.

  2150.  @ScottsGuitar  It’s true. Putin doesn’t care about the Russian sheep…but he got 20% of Ukraine. Sorry if your Russian son, dad, husband, or brother had to die for it. But hey, the Russian people are nothing more than Putin’s “disposable pawns” in this chess game.

  2151.  @TrevorCrook-c1s  Hi Trevor. You're one of my favorite pro Putin trolls but haven't seen you in a while. Although I wish that I knew you're real name. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get into the troll line of work?

  2156.  @FuturuzedBrain931  The national debt grew faster under Trump than any other modern president. He was and is financially reckless and irresponsible with our money. And we, the average American, got a seven year tax break but Trump gave the ultra wealthy a LIFELONG tax break! Trump is not working for us, he just says that he is and some people are too lazy or ignorant to look at reality. Trump is pro billionaire.
    1
  2157.  @wisenber  -Jake's channel is a single-issue channel about Ukraine, that's the channels intended purpose. -You glossed over the fact that Ukraine's own interests are first and foremost to NOT be controlled by Russia and Putin. **Please educate me as to what Trump has done to promote democracy. I'd like to hear your take on this.** -Xi is watching because he wants Taiwan. Yes, I too am frustrated with Biden not allowing Ukraine to use western weapons inside Russia. However, Biden's half ass response is still way more aggressive than Trump's recent proposal to Zelensky that Ukraine needs to give Russia the land that it stole from Ukraine. Both you and I are smart enough to know that patronizing a bully never works out well in the long term. Please feel free to disagree! I'd love to hear your counterarguments.

  2166. Republican or Democrat or whoever breaks the law like Kelli Ward and her group of fake electors did in AZ, still broke the law and must be prosecuted for breaking the law. MAGA will cry "witch hunt!" but that's all BS, they are just trying to avoid the law. This is NOT a political thing, as MAGA will keep saying over and over and over. This is a legal and ethical matter. Kelli Ward and her group of fake AZ electors tried to subvert democracy in a federal election...and that's a crime.

  2167.  @anthill1510  Trump's devotees are promised a restoration of American family values and reemergence of the middle class by a guy who grew up in New York with a silver spoon in his mouth. Then he passes seven year tax breaks for you and me but LIFELONG tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. Trump promised you one thing but delivered another. The ol' switcheroo. Have you fallen for it?

  2174. The Republican party has not won a popular vote for President in 20 years b/c they don't reflect the wishes of most Americans. The GOP is well aware that their ONLY chance of getting into the Oval Office is to use the Electoral College...and to cheat. lie, and steal. And I'm a gun owning registered Republican! There is no denying that the writing is already on the wall for fall 2024.

  2186. He's referring to the historical value of the ruble before Putin started this war. Traditionally that has been 1 dollar = 60-something rubles for years. Now it's 1 dollar = 88 rubles, with no signs of relief for the worsening value of the ruble. Why do you look at such a small picture of time when analyzing global economics? That doesn't make any sense.

  2187.  @AstroGremlinAmerican  There you are AGA. I see that you're still up to your feeble attempts to destabilize America. Two questions for you Greg, 1) Are you American?

  2188.  @nataliiateteruk585  Republican National Convention. It's all been taken over by Trump loyalists. Trump's daughter in law is now the loudest voice in the RNC, selling fake aluminum credit cards that aren't credit cards at all...in fact they don't do anything except say Trump on them, for only $99.99 to idiots who keep buying gold high tops, cheap plastic Bibles, and NFT trading cards with Trump dressed up as a superhero, cowboy, etc. The Trump family knows how to make money off of idiots and they are cashing in big time. But the very best part, is that Trump has convinced these people that he is fighting FOR them!

  2223. @ Yes, being on the offensive costs more troops and equipment than being on the defensive. That’s why Russia has such a staggeringly high casualty rate from 2/2022 to the present…for only a small percentage of Ukraine taken since 2/2022. And the cost to Russia will continue to be that high as long as Ukrainians are armed.

  2239. @ Yeah, Ukraine is outmanned and outgunned, has been the entire time. That’s why they’re trading empty farm fields (non strategic land) for high Russian casualties and high armor losses…hoping to exhaust the Russians. It would be a mistake to say Russia is winning by capturing farm fields with such high losses. However, Putin does have a large supply of Russians to use as cannon fodder. Basically, the Russian people are disposable pawns for their leader.

  2243. The left is not proposing Unitary Executive Theory & Schedule F (both are "king makers"). Nor is the left proposing eradicating the Dept of Education without a backup plan on how to educate our children (except for private Christian schools). I would like to ask you a sincere question.

  2266. The economy did pretty well at the time. Primarily due to economic deregulation which got us all into big trouble in 2008 and also because Trump spent a lot. Per another show that I saw, the national debt went up under Trump about $1.9 trillion per year, including pre pandemic. Don't get me wrong, Obama was a big spender too but the national debt only went up about $1.1 trillion per year under him. Currently, the economy is now stronger (and our IRA's are showing it) under Biden with the exception of inflation that is almost double what it was under pre (but not post) pandemic Trump. @antimediaman9354

  2269. Putin (bully A) is tellling Ukraine "Give me everything. Your resources, your freedom, your prosperity, and your culture". Trump (bully B) is telling Ukraine "We can help you get your coutry back. By the way, we have some American mining companies that would love to get at those natural resources. You make some money and we make some money." Very different offers.

President Biden, Please allow Ukraine to use American weapons in Russian territory for only these 3 reasons: 1) It’s the best thing for America’s global interests in the future. 2) It will save us American taxpayers in the long run to nip this in the bud now. 3) It’s the right thing to do and, as Americans, that’s what we do!

  2323. It doesn't take that much. Once the rest of the EU has had enough of Orban kissing Putin's a$$, they just need a unanimous vote to oust Hungary from the EU. The same for NATO. However, I would give the people of Hungary to choose: do you want a modern democratic society in the EU with a NATO defensive shield...or do you want to keep Orban and make him Lukashenko 2.0?

  2326. Republican Senator Lankford of Oklahoma did introduce the most stringent anti-immigration bill that America has ever seen. However, former President Trump told the Republican congressmen and women to NOT vote for border security as Trump did not want Biden to get credit for solving the border crisis as Trump wants to use the southern border as an election strategy. @teblack2

  2327. The majority of us Americans DO want to support Ukraine! However, the MAGA Republicans take all of their orders from former President Trump...and Trump told them to quash any support for Ukraine. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson only has to call for a yes/no vote for Ukraine support and it will pass with a super majority. However, since Mike Johnson does everything Trump tells him to do (ie no support for Ukraine), Mr. Johnson has refused to let the House of Representatives vote on this issue. Our government is being held hostage on the Ukraine issue by one person (Mike Johnson) because Trump told him to do so. @mike_oe

  2330. I am more concerned with reality than either optimism or cynicism. However, my main point is that we are not "giving" a large amount of money nor military equipment to Ukraine as many of the MAGA politicians like to claim.

If you tried to overthrow American democracy, even just once, you're out. 2) Trump's Agenda 47/ Project 2025.

  2353. Yeah, it's called joining NATO on 4/4/23. According to NATO Article 5, is Russia attacks Finland, Russia will soon have a new government that is pro-democracy and pro-Western. Putin has stolen enough from Russia to become one of the richest people in the world. He will not risk his personal safety, life, and stolen fortune just to attack Finland.

  2418.  @schollstockroscopalooza2017  I'm a registered Republican and fiscal conservative who doesn't vote along party lines b/c I believe in meritocracy. We're both here b/c we are trying to make logical sense of the people who believe that Trump was chosen by God to lead our country.

  2419. According to the woman on stage, it was Trump's team who shut it down. They shut it down right after one those women on stage asked him about Project 2025. That's a shame as I would really wanted to hear Trump answer that question.
    1
  2420. No. Passively allowing MAGA to cheat will make your vote in vain. Standing up for your own rights will make your vote count.

  2427. Vance sits at the intersection of racist billionaires (being Thiel's protege) and the Christian Nationalists (writing the intro to Kevin Roberts latest book). Those two groups picked Vance for Trump. Thiel/Musk/Vance/Roberts probably cannot wait to 25th Amendment Trump...but they know they need to be patient.

  2429.  @timrider1224  Trump was campaigning on “drill baby drill”, meaning flood the market with US oil and gas. If that drops the global market price of oil and gas, Putin is in for a world of hurt in his economy.

  2430. The real shame is that you don’t support the Ukrainian people…they want to fight! Besides, no one has respect for people like you that just let a bully push them around. Have some backbone!

  2431.  @Oldfarmlady  I downloaded P2025. Some of it is above my level of legal understanding. However, what I did comprehend is terrifying. Christian Nationalists want to turn America into an authoritarian theocracy. Basically, they want a Christian version of Iran’s government.

    1
  2436. Thank you! I've been noticing the exact same thing. Trump and MAGA keep screaming about a "rigged election" but have never provided any credible evidence. Balance this with: a) the multiple slates of fake electors, b) the recorded Trump-Raffensperger phone call, and c) former vice president Mike Pence's personal testimony that he was pressured by Trump to not recognize the true state electors in order to steal the election.

  2442. I'm not sure if would I equate involuntary energy reliance and voluntarily exporting dual purpose goods.
    1
  2443.  @FXChuck98  Ok, I see your point. The dependence on energy is a necessity but who you get the energy from is voluntary within financial constraints. I am completely in favor of US energy independence as well as Biden's domestic microchip production legislation. The EU invested in relatively cheap and plentiful Russian energy and got burned for that. Like yourself, I don't want the US to be in the same situation that Europe found itself in.
    1
  2444. This is the Great Replacement Theory, right?
    1
  2445. Doesn’t matter what the cost of production is. Only matters what the net profit upon sale is. Most of the world does not purchase Russian goods except oil and gas…and maybe vodka.

  2456.  @Yielar1  Don't get me wrong...what you're saying is spot on. These fake "Qhristian" hypocrites are packed into the MAGA party, however, this has been going on for a long time. Trump just made it socially acceptable for these people to come out from the dark corners where they were previously pigeon-holed.

  2471. Russia passed legislation to make VPN's illegal for Russian citizens in the fall of 2024, while simultaneously spending many millions of dollars for the Russian government to have VPN's. Check out the list of countries that ban VPN's. Those are the governments that want to control their people by minimizing outside information that is contrary to the party line.

  2472. Any knowledge that you don't agree with you call propaganda. I've got one question for you. Why do you support Putin?
    1
  2473. **One question please!** Why do you think that we are seeing a global connection between conservatives and authoritarian governments? For example, why has Tucker Carlson been fawning over Orban for the last several years as well as producing material that Russian media loves to highlight? Why the buddy-buddy'ism between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un? Why is MTG quoting Russian propaganda to dissuade Congressional support from Ukraine? Why the tight connections between the Kremlin and (seemingly) most of the high level European conservative leaders such as Orban and Geert Wilders? Basically, why do conservative beliefs and support for authoritarian governments seem to be aligned? Thank you for your work Professor Gerdes, especially when focusing on the psychology of propaganda!
    1
  2474. Completely agreed! Like yourself, I am a registered Republican (in AZ). However, I cannot help but notice that an alignment of philosophy between authoritarians and conservative political and media personalities is present and growing more prevalent in several European countries as well as America. I know you're a busy guy and appreciate your above response. Take care.  @Professor-Gerdes

  2475. To Ukraine and Europe: Trump will disappoint you if you are waiting for him to “do the right thing”. The only thing that matters to Trump is gaining lucrative natural resource contracts with Ukraine…but Trump will protect those!

  2478.  @chadhaire1711  Sorry "Chad", that is incorrect. Putin calls for negotiations only when he needs time for military force regeneration. But please feel free to show me an example otherwise!
    1
  2479.  @chadhaire1711  Hey "Chad", you're using the American colloquialism "kid" incorrectly. It gives you away. You are correct. The Russian fleet has not left the Black Sea. They are all hiding in the Novorossiysk port and the Azov Sea. Russia is even mining the Novorossiysk port entrance as they have been cornered.
    1
  2480.  @chadhaire1711  Day one? Feb 24, 2022? Prove it to me Chad. Prove it to me. If you can't prove it, that makes you a liar. PS Why exactly do you choose to support Putin?
    1
  2481.  @chadhaire1711  Strange coincidence. Chad do you know Princi666? Just asking. I very rarely watch Rehi but I have seen him in the past. Ukraine in Moscow in one week? That is not possible and I disagree with that assessment. So Chad, why do you personally choose to support Putin? Just curious.
    1
  2482.  @187Rajah  The fact is that the US is simply wealthy enough to pay the interest. Although I disagree with this philosophy. Regardless of America handles it's tax burden, let's get back to topic. Putin is driving the Russian economy into the ground with the war against Ukraine that he started. Unless a peace deal is made, this will quickly get worse for the Russian economy and that risks another December 26, 1991 for Russia.
    1
  2483. Because he reported the truth?
    1
  2484. I respectfully disagree. The release of this evidence isn’t a KO, but it a solid punch that Trump cannot recover from. The only option Trump has remaining is to rig and steal the election.

  2488. NATO wouldn't attempt to conquer Russia. However, they would chase Russia back to Russia and secure international boundaries. NATO would, of course, have to destroy Russia's military industry but that's standard in any war. It would not represent an "existential threat" to Russia's continued existence, just keep them in check.

  2489. Without this money, many many Ukrainians will not have the chance to share life with the people that they love. Is that your point?

  2490. Trump said the exact same bullsh*t about Biden four years ago. We just have short memories.

  2491.  @JoeyJoJoJr0  Besides abortion, how does Trump's Agenda 47 differ from Project 2025?
    1
  2492. That’s the big picture! Well stated.
    1
  2493.  @nc5145  I know the basis of the charges centers on the slates of fake Electors in 7 swing states, pressuring VP Pence to recognize the fake Electors over the real ones in order to steal the EC vote, and the recorded Raffensperger phone call to "find 11,780 votes". Why would a first year law student laugh at that?
    1
  2494.  @Jbo2000  Vote Trump if you love Trump but hate American democracy. If you haven't noticed, the combination of Project 2025 and recent SCOTUS rulings will make Trump America's first king. He will literally be above the law. Aren't you paying attention to this or do you want America to have a king?
    1
  2495. Just another example that Putin survives off of suppressing the truth, outright lies, threats, and intimidation. Why would anybody support him and his regime? (It's a question for the Russians out there)
    1
  2496. Mike Johnson is the poster child for "Qhristian" Nationalism, which is very different from a true Christian.

  2497. I feel the same way towards you.
    1
  2498.  @primitiveaccommodation  So the truth hurts, huh? Well I'm not hurting because you haven't told any truths yet...just some made up numbers that you cannot seem to find a reference for. Why should I believe anything you say?
    1
  2499. If I was a Russian soldier being forced to die to take a rural Ukrainian treeline, just so Putin could have a feather in his cap, I'd frag my CO too! It's important to believe in what you're fighting (and possibly dying) for! The Ukrainians know what they are fighting for. But the Russians are just now waking up and seeing that they are being asked to die for Putin's glory.

  2507.  @MinkieWinkle Are you high? Trump almost succeeded in doing what you just said can’t be done in 2020. Trump’s fake electors tried to rig the election and steal my vote. The only reason it didn’t work is because Pence has morals that he lives by.
    1
  2508.  @MinkieWinkle  I think he was referring to the Trump is a fascist debate. I have to admit, that Project 2025 stuff like Unitary Executive Theory and Schedule F is very scary stuff.
    1
  2509. 1) President Trump's executive order stating that only he and his chosen Attorney General can interpret "what the law is" attempts to bypass the judiciary, raising the Executive branch above the judiciary. 2) If Trump controls enough of Congress, Congress will enact all of his executive orders into law. All other laws made by Congress will get vetoed by POTUS. 3) This now places the Executive branch ABOVE the legislative and judicial brances & eliminates all federal check and balances. Within Project 2025, this is called "Unified Executive Theory".
    1
  2510. “Dixiecrats”? How did someone from 1963 access the internet. And, we are all well aware of Trump’s fascist plan. I’d like to ask you one question. “What are the differences between Trump’s Agenda 47 and Project 2025?”. Thank you.

  2511. People like Eastman, Cheseboro, Ellis, etc.

  2512.  @emanuele8226  Agreed. Whether on the schoolyard or on the global stage, bullies can only be effectively handled one way to stop the bullying.

  2513. 1) Tuberville is white trash. 2) I would be skeptical of Snowden's comments. If he gets deported back to America for saying anything pro West or anti Russian, he's likely going to a federal prison.

  2514. What does that have to do with Russia invading Ukraine in 2022?
    1
  2515. No, it's a "reporting the facts" site. Just because you don't like the truth doesn't mean it's propaganda, does it?
    1
  2516. I'm an American that is a fiscal conservative. However, it is clear as day that Trump tried to rig and steal the 2020 election and will try to do so again in 2024. As a European, you make be asking "How can one third of Americans be supporting the same guy that tried to overthrow our democracy only four years ago for future President. That is a fair question. To answer, please remember two children's stories...The Pied Piper and The King's New Clothes. To Trump worshipers, he is a pied-piper who is going to fix all of their problems, real or imagined. But most of us Americans can't even hear Trump's pied-piper tune and, therefore, cannot understand Trump's appeal. To us Americans that are not caught up in Trump's tune, all we see is that the king has no clothes. I hope that explains the current phenomena in America right now. It's nuts.
    1
  2517. Just curious, how do you know that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if Trump had been president? Thank you for taking the time to defend your claims.
    1
  2518.  @jonlundt1846  Trump isn't crying. He's freaking out. If he doesn't win the presidency he's going to jail and will most likely lose all to most of his embellished fortune. That's very scary for someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth. And his spoiled sons are losing their mind that they're going to have to get real jobs for the first time in their lives.
    1
  2519. After Trump's failed coup in the 2020 election, why do you feel anything will be different about the 2024 election?

  2525. Do the pro-Putin Russians on this channel even know that Putin is spending their pensions in Ukraine to fuel this war? If the average Russian thinks that life is tough in Russia now, just give it 20 years...all so Putin could have a feather in his cap called Ukraine. Backwards thinking, just backwards.
    1
  2526. Trump is only showing Putin the art of submission, in hopes that he can finally get that Trump Tower in Moscow. That's why Trump's appointed "special envoy" to Russia is a real estate developer by profession.

  2559. I don't vote along party lines either. However, I did not like the way Trump folded in front of Putin in Helsinki in July 2018. Nor did I like when Orban visited Putin, then Xi, and then flew to Mar-a-Lago rather than DC. There is a deal that has been or is being cut between dictators here and its likely not good for democracy in America or anywhere in the world.

  2566.  @Ashphinchtersayswhat  It’s clear that you’re a troll who deleted their comments and then changes subjects b/c you can’t defend your original comment. I have zero respect for people like you. You are duplicitous and represent the lying that has come to MO of Trump and MAGA. People just like you are the reason we’re all voting against Trump. Congratulations on being your own worst enemy. Vote for your messiah-king, we don’t give a sh*t.

  2567.  @Ashphinchtersayswhat  You forgot to mention one thing. Under Trump’s Agenda 47 / Project 2025, it will be just like the 1950’s for non whites. They will have a place in American society…as long as they know their place in society. However, I absolutely love to watch you twist facts to try and paint Harris or Biden as bad for minorities. Might as well try to convince the Earth is flat! Keep trying, you little angry troll!

  2569.  @lauriivey7801  Agenda 47 / Project 2025 contain Unified Executive Theory and Schedule F...both of these are king-makers. Combine that with SCOTUS' recent rulings on Presidential immunity and voila...one man controls everything.

  2573. MAGA will delay the certification of the vote at the county and state level. If neither candidate gets to 270 EC votes, the 12th Amendment is invoked allowing the MAGA controlled House of Reps (each state gets 1 vote) to choose the next POTUS. Any legal challenges will be heard before SCOTUS.

  2578.  @stacey37m You are rabidly pro Trump. Why do you feel this way?
    1
  2579. Since Putin already spent most of the national pension fund to finance his dictator fantasies, now he's going after more of the common Russians' already low paychecks. Putin is DP'ing the average Ruzkie by taking more of their current income because he has already spent their retirement income!

  2583. Watch out for DTM. He's trying to drum up American support for Trump and Johnson by trying to blame them for blowing up Russian refineries because Putin wants Americans to support Trump and Johnson. In reality, Trump and Johnson did everything in their power to NOT give US arms to Ukraine. You're good DTM...and that will keep you off the frontlines;)

  2587. ...and JD Vance is at the crossroads of all of it. Vance is the creation of conservative billionaires like Peter Thiel and a close friend of Kevin Roberts (the president of The Heritage Foundation)...a close enough friend that JD wrote the introduction to Robert's new book. We are seeing the alliance of billionaires and Qhristian extremists happen under Trump. However, Trump is only the pied-piper used to get votes from the working class. The billionaires and Qhristians will 25th Amendment Trump out of office as soon as they get the chance. ALL of this is very bad for the American middle class!

  2590.  @ericelliott227  I think they were referring to the fact that most Russians do support Putin, even if he's blowing up children's hospitals with hypersonic ballistic missiles. Not all Russians support acts like this but many do.  Russians have got to stop supporting a dictator with a long record of his opponents dying under suspicious circumstances while he becomes one of the richest men in the world stealing from the same Russians who support him.

    1
  2596.  @theinsider1622  I asked for what you know about how the two differ. Why are you afraid to tell me? Is it b/c there is very little difference between Agenda 47 and P2025 or is it b/c you don't know?

  2598.  @theinsider1622  You can shoot straight with me. No harm in telling the truth. You don't know the difference, or if there is a difference, between Agenda 47 and Project 2025 in terms of policy do you?

  2627. Unlikely that a Democrat or a Republican would try to assassinate Trump. However, the "don't tread on me" independents get really angry when you start to mess with their legal freedom like Project 2025 does. Although I do NOT condone violence in any way, it is fair to say that Trump has entered dangerous territory with his plan of becoming America's first king. Many Americans are simply not going to accept a king, ever.
    1
  2628.  @johndigiacomo1674  Agreed.
    1
  2629. The MAGA plan to cause a delay in vote certification at the county and state level only causes a delay in the election, not a change in the result of the election. I knew there had to be more to the plan. MAGA delaying certification long enough to invoke the 12th Amendment and send the decision to the Republican controlled House of Representatives in order to choose Trump (regardless of the vote totals) is the second part of the plan to steal the 2024 election. Of course, this will primarily occur in swing states and with counties voting for Harris. This overthrows the will of the American people.

Nobody can make that decision for you, only you can. However, us people against Trump are fighting so that remains YOUR individual decision.

If Trump had taken his inheritance from his daddy and just left it alone in mutual funds, he would have as much money as he claims to have now by just doing nothing...he would have broken even with the market, which is nothing special at all. And, to be honest, he doesn't have as much money as he claims, so he likely did worse than the market over the last several decades since he got daddy money. On top of that, he's had to declare bankruptcy multiple times. Why do you think he's smart? Just b/c he said it?

After all, you can't just throw an old ATACM into the county dump,
    1
  2695.  @Thetequilashooter1  We are giving a smaller share of our budget than eighteen other countries. What point is not sinking into your thick skull??? Besides military expenditures, you have to be smart enough to think about global trade. The US is still the world's largest economy and military because of global trade. Not snipping Putin in the bud is going to cost America A LOT more than $61B. Come on dude, use your God given noggin!

  2701.  @opossumlvr1023  That issue could be easily bypassed if each state turned in their total numbers for each candidate. Then, just as in the Gore-Bush election, only that specific state would need to be recounted. Same amount of work but without the Electoral College.
    1
  2702.  @opossumlvr1023  We would have to create a new federal holiday for working people to make it to the polling places. Given the long lines, it would likely take at least a two day federal holiday for people to vote. I'm not opposed to holiday, just saying that it would have to occur at the same time as your proposed changes.
    1
  2703.  @sandywest7664  That is not correct. The combined population is around 60 million and the US population is ~330 million. For what you said to be true, the combined population of CA and NY would have to be greater than 50% of the total US population to solely determine the president. It is important that EVERY American vote's count 1.0. Under the EC, Americans in less populated states counts more than Americans in more populated states...and that's not fair that one person's vote counts more than another's.

I was not talking about that. Only you are. 2) I was simply asking everyone a question. Should every Americans vote count 1.00 or should some people’s vote count more than others? Let’s stay on one topic. By the way, my comment is not disingenuous…or at least you have failed the prove that it is so.
    1
  2706.  @CoffeeWorker13  HOW is my statement intellectually dishonest? You didn’t back up your own statement…you just rambled about the balance of state vs federal power. I look forward to your response.
    1
  2707. 1) Trump set up slates of fake Electors in 7 swing states. 2) Trump pressured Pence to recognize the fake Electors over the real Electors. Pence has stated this publicly. 3) Trump got recorded telling Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes". Those are three easily provable federal felonies that Trump committed in an attempt to overthrow our democracy and stay in power against the democratic will of We The People.

  2712.  @ivanfiorani1363  "Ivanfiorani" has produced a textbook example of projection by flipping all the roles in his comment by attempting to rewrite history the opposite of how it actually occurred. Putin broke both the Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 treaties, not the west. Same thing with both the Budapest Memorandum and the Istanbul Peace Agreement. Putin broke all of those treaties. Don't believe me folks, do your own research so liars like this one don't get the better of you. Thanks

Whether it be immunity from the law, presidential control of the the Fed interest rate, or simply trying to steal an election using slates of fake Electors in swing states...this is simply not how a democratic Republic works.

  2718. If Lara Trump becomes the RNC Chair, it will mean the death of the GOP. It's new incarnation will be the Trump/MAGA party. We need a new political party in America that is about getting things done through collaboration and mutual compromise and also doesn't idolize individuals.

  2720. @ I study trolls and you’re better than the average troll. Let’s focus on the Maidan Revolution in 2014 against Yanukovych. Why did over a million Ukrainian citizens across Ukraine oust Yanukovych? Why we’re the pro Russian Yanukovych supporters less than 10% of the pro West supporters? How do you account for this? Is America really that influential? Or was this a grass roots Ukrainian protest? Earn your troll stripes.

  2734.  @doughoffman9463  He did not personally create it; he doesn't have that capacity. However, over 100 of Trump's WH administration have contributed, over 30 are authors, and 29 are in the training videos. Also, Trump put out Agenda 47. Hey Doug, besides abortion, can you spot the differences between Agenda 47 vs Project 2025? I would love to hear the results of your research...if you're willing to do any at all in order to back up your own words.

  2735.  @doughoffman9463  1) I wouldn't brag about Agenda 47. Other than abortion, it's the same as Project 2025. 2) I see the angle you're working. Harris has only had 3 weeks to come up with hew own platform....so you want to utilize this time frame before she can unveil her platform to try and prove that she has no platform. To date, we have only heard portions of the economic and housing platform. But if you give it a week or two, a fully formed platform will be there for us to review and critique.

  2745. Hey everyone, don't forget that Trump and MAGA tried to rig and steal the 2020 election: 1) Trump created multiple slates of fake Electors for him in the swing states, including my state of AZ. 2) Trump tried to pressure Pence to recognize his fake Electors over the real Electors, but Pence stood strong. 3) A recorded phone call between Trump and Raffensperger where Trump asked him to "find" enough votes for Trump to win Georgia.

  2757. If any of us middle class Americans with a full time job did what Trump did, we would have been in a federal prison a long time ago. The only reason that Trump isn't already in jail is because he's wealthy and politically powerful, not because he's innocent. What we're seeing is a two-tier system of American justice; one for rich and powerful Americans and one for the rest of us...and that's not what America stands for.

  2758. He's not dumb. He was raised poor with a mom that had substance abuse issues and revolving boyfriends. He was raised by his grandparents. His grandfather had a good union job. JD was born with a bright mind and a gift for public speaking. What has he chosen to do with that gift? Capitalize upon the ignorance of the poor whites that represent what he was forced to grow up in. Like a bully does with size and strength, JD used his intelligence to gain power and wealth from people he considers dumb and self-destructive white trash. And he's pretty good at it.

  2766. After Nov 5th, it will go like this: 1) MAGA election workers will refuse to certify the vote at the county and state level due to "irregularities". 2) If a state does not have complete certification, it cannot turn in it's Electoral College (EC) votes. 3) If no Presidential candidate has 270 EC votes by the morning of Dec 12th, 2024...Congress will invoke the 12th Amendment. 4) The 12th allows the MAGA controlled House of Reps to choose the next POTUS, and they will choose Trump. 5) All legal challenges will be heard by SCOTUS.

  2768.  @lukehelleksen68   Based on your response, I can tell that you've been hired to downplay Project 2025. But I'll play along with you. So Luke, how does Trump's Agenda 47 differ from Project 2025? I know that the stance on abortion is different but everything else seems to be the same between the two.

  2769.  @lukehelleksen68  You can't answer my question b/c in reality, Trump's Agenda 47 is nothing more than Project 2025 with a fresh coat of paint. Prove me wrong Luke. And thanks for taking the time to back up the words that you have typed.

  2770.  @lukehelleksen68   -Now you're scrambling. Just one month ago, "Project 2025" was the most searched term on the American internet. Despite what you're claiming, many Americans know it matters. You, MAGA, and The Heritage Foundation are the ONLY ones saying "move on, nothing to see here"...which we all know is a total lie. -Answer one question Luke. Why would Trump put out a policy platform like Agenda 47 that states his administration's political goals if it doesn't matter?
    1
  2771.  @Kath-nd6pj  I don’t know for sure but the combination of… 1) Unitary Executive Theory and Schedule F contained within Agenda 47/ Project 2025, combined with… 2) The recent SCOTUS ruling on Presidential immunity… could theoretically lead to a President with the powers of a king. And, as we all know, kings don’t need elections. Obviously, this is a worst case scenario but Trump has consistently shown that he is a risk for power grabs.
    1
  2772.  @lukehelleksen68  There are two possibilities Luke: 1) You are not familiar with Project 2025 / Agenda 47, or… 2) You are an advocate for Project 2025 and want to hide what it truly is from the public so the public doesn’t revolt against it. Which one is it?

PS The Mediazona report from 4.27.24 of 50K dead Russians: 1) Only takes KIA into account, not WIA. 2) They only counted new graves, newspaper reports and obituaries from Russian media, and Russian social media reports in their count. Yellowtunes, with that methodology, please explain to me how they could account for all the Russian corpses? Most the dead Russians are just rotting in Ukrainian fields because the Russian gov't doesn't give a sh*t about you or any of its people. You are just expendable widgets for Putin to get Ukraine.

It's a 900+ page blueprint to begin taking over the federal government on day one of Trump's presidency. The premise is simple: The Heritage Foundation promises Trump a government of loyalists and they get to assume all the political power ranks below the level of POTUS. These aren't people waving flags at a rally. The Heritage Foundation is a think tank with significant economic backing.

  2860.  @michaelgomez3044  That’s a wonderful sentiment. Here’s the real question needed to validate your claim. HOW is Trump playing “3D chess” with foreign policy. What actions has Trump done to show us that he is playing 3D chess? Thank you for taking the time to back up your claims.

  2864. Citizens United vs FEC was one the biggest tragedies in American democracy. Once Citizens United (which is a absolute misnomer and should be "Corporations United") passed, American elections results usually go to the candidate with the most PAC money, not the candidate that is the most qualified for the job.
    1
  2865. I've often wondered what I (or you reading this) could do with an army of idiots that truly believe anything you say, even if you consistently do the opposite. It must be intoxicating for Trump to have several million Americans that follow him with absolute blind faith.

  2871. All these Russian liars saying that NATO violated the Minsk agreements is just too rich. Putin violated the Minsk 1 treaty by sending fresh Russian troops into Ukraine in January 2015. Putin violated the Minsk 2 treaty by declaring the Minsk agreements "no longer existed" and then invaded Ukraine again. The truth is that Putin and the Russians did NOT keep their word on either of the Minsk agreements.

  2872. Putin wants Trump to be elected over Biden. But even more than that, Putin wants instability within America.

  2873.  @america1stpatriot127  Trump didn't do anything for us Americans except speed up the delivery of the Covid vaccines. Look at the economy now (stock markets, inflation rate, unemployment rate, your own 401k)...it's all better now than in pre-Covid Trump times. Could Harris turn out to be a nothing burger? Of course. Has Trump already proven during his four years taht he's a nothing burger? Absolutely.

  2882. I lived in AZ in 2020. Trump and his cronies tried to steal my vote with their fake Elector scheme. I'm not voting that thief. He's the one that tried to rig and steal the election. Sh*t, we even have him on a recorded phone call with Raffensperger telling him to "find" enough votes for Trump to win the sate. Kelli Ward and the other AZ fake Electors are about to get their trial date. The US justice system is slow but it still gets the job done.

  2888. This all served a purpose. Zelensky was set up for an ambush. The goal is to convince the American people that Zelensky is ungrateful for American support and does not want an end to the war. Therefore, convincing Americans that it is only common sense to align ourselves with a more reasonable and grateful partner like Putin. This will be used to normalize Trump's alliance with Putin.

  2902. NATO scares Putin. That's why Putin needs Trump to be elected in order to pull the US out of NATO.

  2903. The polls showing a dead heat aren't designed to win elections. Their purpose is to convince people that the race is a dead heat. That way, when Harris wins by large numbers, Trump/MAGA can claim the election was rigged and stolen b/c the polls showed the race was a dead heat. The polls' purpose is to sow doubt in the minds of his supporters about the validity of the American electoral system.

  2905.  @TheRadioAteMyTV  When any political movement goes too far to either side, right or left, the party becomes authoritarian. Extreme right is fascist. Extreme left is communist...but the common thread, authoritarianism, is what really matters. It's two different paths to the same endpoint.

  2906.  @Noename-qx5rn  Why do you feel that way?

  2907.  @ItsReallyJackBlack As long as it remains an unfair fight, Russia might prevail. However, Russia cannot win against an opponent that is equally well armed. I do feel somewhat bad for Putin’s slaves that go to die in Ukraine…but it was (usually) their choice to sign the contract.
    1
  2908.  @СерхиоБускетс-ф7я  If that we’re true, Russia wouldn’t have had to convert the entire national economy to war mode. Putin is rapidly burning through Russian pensions currently to sustain his war. I feel sorry for the older Russians, especially the disabled vets, who will get nothing but poverty in their future because they supported Putin’s dream.

  2910.  @shonevans2563  So you are saying that NK will give more arms to Russia than SK will give to Ukraine? Is that your point?
    1
  2911.  @shonevans2563  Look Shon, if Putin could magically get weapons from SK as opposed to NK, he would be ecstatic. The fact of the matter is that Putin only has dictators for allies (Kim Jung Un, Ali Khomeini, Xi, and al-Assad). You are free to support dictators if you like but I don't.
    1
  2912. Fine but first focus on knocking out Russia's only real source of income, petroleum. Soon, Putin will introduce forced labor upon Russians as his government will not be able to pay workers working around the clock in three shifts.

  2913. I'm not a Biden fan but Trump is the one that tried to steal my vote in the Arizona 2020 election with his slate of fake Electors led by Kelli Ward. Every person that lives in a swing state with fake Electors should remember that Trump and his cronies tried to deny you your right to vote in America.

  2923.  @michelleesquerra6537  I'm a registered Republican in AZ. As a fiscal conservative, I want the real Republican Party to return too. Bite the bullet. The only way to get MAGA out of the GOP is for MAGA to lose this election across the board. Trump is too old to run in 2028. Problem solved. However, it will require people like you and me to vote Democrat in 2024. A little bit of a bitter pill but better in the big picture, especially if you have kids. I could be wrong but that's the best that I see it. Take care.

  2926.  @tomchen513  1) Democratic means how a country chooses it's political leaders. If a democratic country cannot tolerate an autocracy, that just means they don't like them. That has nothing to do with democracy. Where in the hell did you get the idea that people in a democratic country have to like another country? 2) "Considering the Chinese are generally happy with their own government"...where did that broad sweeping generalization come from? Look Chen, if the average Chinese person was offered American citizenship and a good paying job in the US, most of them would jump at the offer (if they were allowed to bring their immediate family).

  2931.  @nowisgodinyourlovelylife717  True. But you must admit that one party with Schedule F and Unitary Executive Theory baked into Agenda 47 / P2025 is much more converning than the other party who is keeping the status quo intact. That is a key difference...and I'm a registered Republican! You're going to need to choose the lesser of two evils and vote for that one.

  2932.  @nowisgodinyourlovelylife717  But we still elect them at the voting booth, don’t we? Just b/c you don’t live in a democratic country, doesn’t mean you should down others who do.

  2933.  @tomchen513  You are rationalizing. Freedom of information comes with responsibilities but also with the greatest knowledge. Funny thing is that you are supporting China’s walled off internet in your comment, yet you are on the free global web. How is that?

  2934.  @nowisgodinyourlovelylife717  Getting defensive, aren't you? Focus, stay on topic. 1) How can China be in a closed internet yet you are here? How does that work? 2) Why does China ban VPN's in it's country?

Now I see why you were reluctant to name which countries. All of those people are brutal dictators. That is definitely NOT a good look for Trump. When she mentioned global leaders that laugh at Trump, she meant the leaders of the free world. Not dictators, you silly goose.

All three of those show how Trump intended to overthrow American democracy and all three of those items are federal level criminal felonies. Now if you want to try and convince me not to believe my own eyes and ears, go for it.
    1
  2966.  @peteswanson-j4i  A bet against America is a vote for the guy who set up slates of fake Electors to try and steal the 2020 election and then was so shady he called the Georgia Sec of State and told him to "find 11,780 votes". That's a bet against America. Character matters.

  2972.  @johnolsen394  That is true. However, I think the real answer (and the elephant in the room) is that Trump's attorneys have been successful in delaying Trump's federal and Georgia court trials. If the details of either of these trials got out into the public, Trump would be sunk forever.

However, I'm no economist and welcome your input.

  2979. The only difference between Trump's Agenda 47 and Project 2025 that I can see is: 1) Abortion is not in P2025. 2) No tax on tips is not in P2025. As far as I can see, the two are otherwise identical to each other.

  3011. I agree with you. But I'd like to rephrase your idea so other's may be more open to it. Personally, I would never fight for a leader that was the aggressor in a war. However, I would fight for the defense of my homeland. Now for the Russians in the audience. Do you REALLY believe that you had to invade Ukraine in order to defend your homeland? Really?

  3013. We're all sick of the nonstop drama, lies, chaos, confusion, and void of real governance that is MAGA. MAGA is just a bunch of con artists jumping on the Trump donation money train in order to make themselves wealthy while they dupe money out of their fellow Americans.

  3016. Many will agree with me and many will disagree with me. I'm glad that we're doing the right thing by supporting Ukraine in their fight to exist against a brutal invasion by a dictator-led state. We've always said that we stand for freedom and democracy. Now we're actually putting our money where our mouth is.

  3020.  @dudemanbro-fy6ip  So, you’re theory is that Ukrainians we’re happy to have Russian troops capture their town. Then when the Russians left, the Ukrainian army came in and mass executed Ukrainians and blamed it on the Russians? Dude, you are a terrible troll! Your lies don’t even make sense.

  3035. If you believe in the Great Replacement Theory, you must have a non-democratic republic, otherwise you’ll just be out voted by the non-white majority every time. Hence The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 plan that centers on Trump being elected in 2024. The end goal seems straight forward… an authoritarian (ie non democratic) executive branch exempt from any checks and balances, ruling as a Christian theocracy, with white privilege. And I am a while male American, born and raised in Texas, gun owner, and registered Republican…but I’ve got to call it as I see it like a good umpire.

  3065.  @bobwallace9753  I agree.
    1
  3066.  @chrisyoung9653  Trump supporters go by the name MAGA. Trump has told them that Putin's not a bad guy and his followers believe him. The Trump/MAGA argument against funding Ukraine is two fold: 1) America can't afford to fund foreign wars (although they had no problem with Trump ballooning our national debt, even before the covid pandemic; it's just selective application). 2) Money should go to fixing our porous border with Mexico to stop illegal immigration (although Trump keeps telling Republican senators and representatives to shoot down bipartisan border bills...so the problem never gets fixed, in hopes that Trump will get elected and get credit for fixing it).
    1
  3067. Doubtful. Putin really really needs Trump back in the WH.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, likes hanging out with those types of people.

  3082.  @tedteddington6223  All I hear you saying is "the sky is falling, the sky is falling!". Putin is a multibillionaire with absolute power in Russia. He is painfully aware that if he launches nukes at another nuclear power, it will be mutual destruction, and Putin will lose everything that he currently has...and the Kremlin will have him eliminated. Putin is smart, he's never going to risk losing everything he has, including his life.

  3089. What are you rambling on about? The US is withholding arms shipments to Israel. Go get your facts straight.

  3092. In many states, it's legal to record a conversation that you are a participant in without notifying the other parties in the conversation. Check your state laws! If you can legally record, my advice is to record every conversation with company representatives.

  3094. @nTnz_ As far as I can tell... Turkey is telling the new Syrian gov't to let the Russians evacuate their men and materiel. Meanwhile, Israel is busy bombing whatever is left of Assad's Russian weapons that could be used against them in the future by the new Syrian gov't.

  3100. That's not the goal. The goal is to delay vote certification at the county/state level until the evening of Dec 11th so that states cannot send in the Electoral College votes. If no candidate gets to 270 EC votes by closing time on Dec 11th, the 12th Amendment of the Consstitution can be invoked. One Dec 12th, Johnson will invoke the 12th Amendment allowing the MAGA controlled House of Reps to choose the next POTUS. All legal challenges will be heard by SCOTUS. But here's the REAL kicker...this plan is totally legal unless they can prove that the vote was intentionally not certified due to bad faith.

  3103. Musk and Trump threatening to shut of Starlink is the exact type of blackmail that Putin tried on Europe over natural gas. Trump's in the oval office for one month (and Musk is the President), and already they are doing business like the mafia.
    1
  3104. I heard that the annual tradition of the March of Immortal Brigade was discontinued by the kremlin because they didn’t want a bunch of people to bring pictures of the loved ones they lost recently in Ukraine. Seems that Putin didn’t like those optics.
    1
  3105.  @robertw1800  There’s no criticism b/c it pales in comparison to Trump’s slates of fake Electors in 7 swing states and the infamous recorded Raffensperger phone call to “find 11,780 votes”. I guess it’s all relative.

  3117. But a new strategy to steal the 2024 election. 1) Delay certification at the county and state level to prevent Harris from getting to 270. 2) Then invoke the 12th Amendment, allowing the MAGA controlled house to choose the next President. You’re correct. It’s not if Trump will cheat, it’s when and how will Trump cheat.

  3126.  @tatiannaannunaki2027  In 2024, Russia had almost 150 casualties per 1 square km of Ukraine gained. Throwing away the lives of 150 Russian people is a good deal in Putin’s mind. He considers you as disposable and replaceable.

  3158.  @nikitamyazin6586  First, thank you for your well thought out response. Secondly, I would have to read much more deeply into the agreements mentioned than I have time for as working dad. I am not denying what you said, I'm only saying that I cannot confirm nor deny the truthfulness of your claim. Thirdly, nobody in Ukraine was anticipating a full invasion from Russia on multiple new fronts and with vastly more men and materiel. They all thought that it would remain contained in the Donbas. So I can't really say your final point carries much water. Look, we both know that there aren't saints on either side of this mess. But I'm not looking for angels, just at real people. Because of aggressors, smaller countries are compelled to join defensive organizations like CSTO or NATO for their national security. The only problem for Putin was that the CSTO was offering a Lada but NATO was offering a BMW. More countries chose the BMW...and Ukraine was about to do the same, once the Donbas conflict ended in order for them to be NATO eligible. In summary: 1) Aggressors like Putin compel smaller countries (especially former Soviet states) to join defensive alliances for their national security. 2) Putin's CSTO offer didn't compete with the NATO offer...and the NATO border kept moving east because sovereign countries chose NATO over CSTO. 3) Ukraine was about to be next and that pissed Putin off. So he invaded. No need to sugar coat it. That's the longest post that I've ever written. Sorry.

They have convinced hard working Americans that transgender story hour is destroying America to distract from the real issues like an economy that favors the middle class. And duped Americans give them millions in campaign donations! Hell, if I didn't have a conscience, I'd probably go in on the MAGA scam as well!

  3173.  @RedPillConciousness  It is neither higher nor lower, it is inaccurate. Under Biden, the national inflation rate steadily came down from covid pandemic highs. Currently, as in today, the inflation rate sits at 3%. That's as low as anything during Trump's term. Don't believe me. I encourage you to do your own research. To cite my reference, I got my information from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. It's a public site and easy to find. Keep your mind open.

Freedom over a handful of dollars. Constitution over demagogue. Country over party. Presidents over kings.

You’re a tricky little debater hoping to utilize logic to say “if this one fact is incorrect, the rest must be incorrect too”. We all know Putin started this war under false pretenses. The easiest way for this war to end is for Putin to pull his troops out of Ukraine. There’s no denying that fact.

  3192.  @alancrane9762  Does it bother you that a handful of Republicans had the courage to stand up to Trump when he tried to overthrow American democracy by stealing the 2020 election? Why don't you ask me HOW Trump tried to rig and steal the 2020 election? Don't worry, I know you won't.

  3250. Always remember, there are only two reasons why Russia has had any success at all in Ukraine: 1) Trump got his lackeys in Congress to block military aid to Ukraine, so the Ukrainians were forced to fight with one hand tied behind their back. 2) Russia uses it's own troops like disposable pieces of trash by sending them on wave after wave of suicide missions to capture a rural tree line. If Ukraine had the same amount of weapons that Russia has, the Russians would already be sitting back in their own homes by now, not having to die for Putin's dreams of glory. If Russia started to treat and value their men like Ukraine values their men, Russia wouldn't have any battlefield gains to show. (Laughey emoji's here)

He’s “me first”. There is a concerning push to consolidate federal power around one person, Trump.

  3287. Your logic isn't complete. If we had mandatory jail time (or stiff fines) for any American employer who hires illegal aliens, it's safe to say that the large majority of illegal immigration would drop dramatically, The significantly reduced number of immigrants would allow American border patrol to spend much more time for in-depth investigations into shady immigrants. Contrary to your statement, the border patrol will be able to do their job BETTER if we implemented Mr. Broe's recommendations. You want less illegal immigration, right?

I'm sorry that you like to live in a dictatorship and not in a democracy. I'm just kidding with you TB ("kidding" means "joking" for your translation), I know that you would give your had to live in a free society but are stuck in a dictatorship working an IT troll job for the government that suppresses you and your family. I wish you the freedom of democracy one day TB.

  3309. The pro-Russian trolls keep forgetting to mention several things: 1) Russia was supposed to be victorious in 3 days! Now it’s over two years later and they only control 17% of Ukraine. The “superpower” army that they keep talking about has yet to show itself. 2) One of Russia’s biggest advantages is that they treat their soldiers like trash and don’t care whether they live or die…they’ll just get more. As an American, I’m appalled at how poorly Putin treats his combat vets! 3) Most Russians are not aware that Putin is spending their pensions right now to sustain Russia’s war effort. Disabled Russian vets coming home can expect to get a pair crutches and then told to “get lost”. 4) Have some empathy for the Russian trolls. Their current trolling job is the only thing that is keeping them from dodging Ukrainian drones in a muddy ditch!

All 3 of those are high level federal felonies.

  3313. You need to look at a bigger picture when it comes to global economics, not a snap shot from 11/2023. Before Putin started this war, the ruble tended to trade around 1 dollar = 60-something rubles for years. Now it is nearly 1 dollar = 88 rubles in 2.5 years. This is very bad for Russia but is a very powerful weapon for Ukraine and global democratic republics.

  3314. Everything you said is what is happening to Russia. That’s why Russia is losing their weapons contracts with other countries. However, your psychological “flipping” was a pretty good effort. You’re going to need to do better and be more believable before you end up in a storm z unit!

The 2024 Lankford border security bill was a green light b/c it was bipartisan...the way democracy is supposed to work! But Trump scuttle the bill solely b/c he wanted to use it as a campaign issue. We could already have the most comprehensive and secure border bill in our nation's history but Trump said no.

Four of those seven states are in the process of prosecuting the people in the fake Elector scam. 2) Pence has publicly stated that Trump tried to pressure him to recognize the fake Electors over the true Electors chosen by the people. 3) Trump is on a recorded phone call telling Georgia Sec of State Raffensperger "I need you to find me 11,780 votes".

Trump built fifty miles of wall at a high price to taxpayers. Then Trump pardoned Steve Bannon after Bannon stole the money from the crowd funded We Build the Wall project. Thirdly, if you think beating Russia is expensive now, you just wait until Putin conquers Ukraine...then you will see massive US expenditures. Basically, this is the cheapest way to get the job done. Lastly, are you aware that we give Ukraine our old weapons and use the tax dollars to buy ourselves new weapons for a little over 70% of weapons funding. That's American workers in American owned arm producers producing new weapons for the American military. We are making out like bandits and all you can do is whine?

  3388. I think that you are correct. I also think that Ukraine is pushing forward to provide coverage while Ukraine takes over and strengthens Russia's former trench lines contained within Russia. Once Ukraine has a strong defensive line WITHIN the borders of Russia, they will fall back to those new defensive lines. And then keep repeating this process across the northern front.

Especially once Putin goes for the NATO associated Baltic states, which will then put American soldiers lives at risk. Right now, we are in the exact same position as 1939, when Hitler could've been stopped at the Rhine because not enough people understood what horrible things were about to happen. Besides, we (USA) have only given 0.32% of our national GDP to Ukraine and the majority of that goes to American arms companies, with American workers, to produce high quality American arms, to resupply the American armed forces...while we give Ukraine our old weapons that need replacing. If you're American and you don't support that, its because you've been listening to too many MAGA lies. That one's on you, I can't help you with that.

  3434. It has become very clear that MAGA has full intent to turn America into a non-democratic authoritarian evangelical Christian theocracy with white privilege. Since their own beliefs are based on The Great Replacement theory, they are well aware that they would lose power in a democracy by simply being in the minority of the US population. And I'm not some bleeding heart liberal saying this stuff. I'm a middle-aged white American, registered Republican, and raised in Texas.

  3450.  @paulekechukwu8481  No shit, that’s when you have a level headed public discussion about it. Besides, Trump doesn’t want to pull out of NATO for fiscal reasons. That’s just the publicly stated reason.

  3451.  @sublimeblush  Trump won't ever mention it as it's an election losing topic for him...until he's forced to acknowledge it's existence. Then he will (has) attempt to distance himself from it for optics.

  3452. I'm 53 and I share your concerns. Big corporate money (the Federalist Society, Musk, etc) wanting full governmental deregulation have joined forces with The Heritage Foundation wanting America to be a Christian theocracy, and Trump plays the "populist pied piper" to generate the necessary votes.  Throw in Orban, visiting Kiev for the first time to ask Zelensky to accept Putin's terms of ceasefire. Then Orban flies to Moscow to meet with Putin, and then to Beijing to meet with Xi. Then Orban completes his world "peace tour" in America but he doesn't fly to Washington. Orban goes to Mar-a-Lago.  Something is up and it's big.

  3463. 1) Is the goal of MAGA delaying the vote certification to prevent Harris from getting 270 EC votes, in order to invoke the 12th Amendment? 2) Won't the 12th Amendment allow the MAGA controlled House to choose the next POTUS instead of the American people?

  3501.  @Freyja123  You forgot... 1) Giving up democracy in favor of a king under Agenda 47 / Project 2025. 2) Electing a traitor after he led a failed coup in 2020. 3) Gutting organized labor laws and workers' rights laws in favor of billionaires over the working class. 4) Using the national guard and military to quash any American who speaks out against Trump. 5) Turning American women into broodmares with no control over their own bodies. 6) Eliminating the Affordable Care Act with no plan to replace it, resulting in more expensive health care. 7) Eliminating the Dept of Education with no plan to replace it, resulting in our kids having to go to Christian private schools or be home schooled...which is impossible if both parents are working to pay the bills. Trump will try to entice American workers by giving them a shiny dime while he takes a dollar from them behind their back. If anybody reading this is a middle class working American, be forewarned that Trump is going to screw you as soon as he doesn't need your vote. Trump is for the billionaires, not us.

  3503. 1) Trump's slates of fake Electors in 7 swing states. Four of the seven are now facing criminal charges. 2) Pence already publicly stating that Trump pressured him to recognize the fake Electors over the real ones in order for Trump to win the 2020 election. 3) A recorded phone call where Trump tells Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes" in order to win Georgia. All 3 of these are easily provable federal felonies as well as proof that Trump was the one who tried to rig and steal the 2020 election. Seems odd that the guy who tried to overthrow American democracy in 2020 is even allowed to run for it's highest office in 2024.

  3506.  @Depthcharger  So, your argument is “they’re different b/c they’re different” yet you cannot list one difference between Agenda 47 and P2025 except on abortion? Come on, defend your own words with facts. I’m patient.
    1
  3507.  @Depthcharger  Haven’t I already asked you about Unitary Executive Theory and Schedule F? Why are you criticizing my familiarity with Agenda 47 / P2025 when it’s become clear that you have no idea what’s contained in the two documents? That doesn’t make sense.
    1
  3508.  @Depthcharger  You are lying, you haven’t read the documents, and are now trying to claim that I reversed the argument. In reality, you don’t know what you’re talking about do you? I’ve asked you about specific points such as your opinion on Unitary Executive Theory but your only defense is “you haven’t read it”? This forum is not run by debate rules and that’s good for you b/c you lost that one by failing to show me or anyone else how Agenda 47 differs from P2025…b/c you can’t! Just admit it instead of squirming around.

My one question: Putin's going to throw an absolute toddler fit when he doesn't get everything he wants. I'm waiting to see how that goes down.

Until that time, just keep repeating your bumper sticker in your head like a mantra for the gullible. 2) Secondly..."Those who would give up essential Liberty to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" -Ben Franklin.

However, your response fails to clarify why Trump's plane was at the same airport at the same time as the ONLY plane from Putin's government. Admit it Shaun, the Russian pilot and Trump's pilot both had to request landing permission at the same place and at the same time. Trump and Putin are working together.

  3565. Since Congress has bent the knee to Trump, allowing him to legislate by executive order and Trump is blowing off a unanimous Supreme Court ruling, all federal checks and balances have been removed.

Then you said something about Obama being narcissistic. Fine, I don't give a rats a$$ what you think. But I do know that Obama is not running in this election. Can you comprehend that? Look, I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
