Putin selected Trump to be his puppet. Trump knew exactly what he was doing.

Of course he's an effin' idiot. We saw it for four years while he was in office, and he's still showing he's effin' idiot who continues to kiss putin's ass and call him a genius. Geniuses don't bomb children's hospitals.

That phrase means the person unwittingly served as a propaganda tool.

My central point is that Trump knew exactly what he was doing and was complicit with a foreign power in his actions as President. Equally, he might be dumb, but he knew what he was doing and did it willingly.

Trump picks as campaign manager, the same guy (Manafort) who installed a Putin puppet in Ukraine.

Trump changes the GOP party platform to eliminate support for Ukraine.

Trump spends four years trying to destroy NATO.

Trump withholds aid to Ukraine as part of a whacko blackmail scheme, ostensibly to get them to fake an investigation of his rival's son.

Ukraine is the thread that finally ties it all together.

I don't understand why the revolution people don't want Russian sanctions. Because it would hurt the Russian people? Trump hurt the people and that was supposed to start the revolution. Wouldn't sanctions start a revolution in Russia too? Also same people who think both the U.S. and Russia are oligarchies but Russia is better.

with ads on 24/7 and let's not ever let the GQP escape their 100% support of this catastrophe. The GQP went on and on about Hillary. We must do the same thing with PR right now. Nail every one of the GQP mother fuckers and do it now. They should not be allowed to walk in public without being chastised and harassed for their complicit behavior. They are owned by Putin and we must scream this from the rooftops.

"Now tell me -- are you really better off now than you were two years ago?" HOW do you answer that? Conceding her question filled my head, what with Covid, inflation, etc. I responded that just being rid of the grifter former guy made me happy -- I'd cope with the fallout. Then she started on Biden -- how he squints while reading a 'prompter and how Jill has to support him when he's walking offstage. Again came up with explanations, which she mocked. Anybody have some perfect squelches to these obnoxious and unfair queries?? Just know she's gonna strike again.

is he and Bush junior never should have been in office in the first place, since the MAJORITY voted DEMOCRAT.

Imagine where we'd be had Gore and HRC taken their rightful place?

- much further along with solar, smart grid, electric vehicles, etc.
- actual single payer healthcare
- higher minimum wage
- better curbing of financial malfeasance, graft and corruption
- funded infrastructure, public education, etc., etc,. etc.

Our country is being slowly STOLEN from us, and yet the other side has the GALL to claim just the opposite.

What they are doing exactly on others and the dems.

I wish we could kick all these pro putin pigs out of this country,along with the ogliarches that fund them.. and take all the money they owe in back taxes before they go along with every tax break,corporate welfare payments and subsidies they have gotten from our government. Me,I would just bankrupt them all and put them on a rickety raft in the middle of the atlantic ocean.
