I am sure he will feel better once DoJ shows him photoshopped pictures of his former employees' MS-13 tattoos.

<wow...lots of NATO counties in this list, huh?>

Quite a few, Poland, the Baltics, Finland, etc. They all know that they could be the next Ukraine, and why they joined NATO.

Your ww2 comment makes no sense. All of those actions listed from 1938 to 1945 were offensive in nature. I would love for you to explain your way out of a paper bag how the Soviet Union "liberated" Poland in 1939.

Great whataboutism with the US though! You got me there and totally destroyed my argument. (In 1961 the USSR begun sending troops, advisors, and material to the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong in support of their war with South Vietnam. Yes, they were very involved in the war)

Because regardless of the name of the country, Russians have always pursued Continential Imperialism?

Me too! Doomscrolling for THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

Great point about manipulation. Vance triggered him, and while narcissistic and idiotic, Trump was still normal Trump before that. After the whole "thank you" bit, he went off and all he wanted was for Zelenskyy to take his beating and kiss the ring.

Thank you for that perspective.was very insightful.

Man they are in force today. Reminds me of all the anti Biden Gaza bots. I am sure they are happy about Trump's casino going up soon. So much better than arranging a cease fire.

There you go with the double-speak. It works great!

LOL propaganda, yeah sure.. I am sure that, let's see here....the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Slovinia, and especially Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania would all have been safe from Russian interference or invasion if they would have stayed independent. Just like Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Chechnya and Tajikistan are super safe and totally independent and haven't been bothered by Russia since 1991. 🙄

I would respect Putin and his political machine a lot more if they would just commit 100% to continental imperialism, as opposed to trying to hide behind playing the victim. It's so obviously a lie it's laughable. Stop the double-speak. If Ukraine was always Russia, that's all you need to justify yourselves, right? Because we know blaming NATO, de-nazification, and all the rest is all bullshit.

How many NATO countries are former Warsaw Pact that begged and clamored to join quickly after the USSR dissolved? Why did Finland and Sweden finally decide to join NATO?

If not Ukraine, maybe someone from Georgia, Chechnya, Moldova, or Tajikistan could explain it to you.

As Adams was a Dem at least in the past, is the takeaway that all corrupt politicians are safe and those with actual integrity are "the enemy within"?

Because any further dirt on Trump would matter at this point....

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

See how much he cares about protecting women's sports? Next up, kill the Dept of Education and Title IX and essentially destroy opportunities for women in sports.

Ummm...I made no statements about him trying to stay around in 2029....of course he will try

I'm on the fence. What does Trump need from Putin now? He won a second term. Putin has shown himself to be fundamentally weak with Ukraine. Trump has no need to repay any Russian debts. And any compromat at this point would be easily hand waved away.

There are certainly advertisers, excuse me, corporate donors contributing. They get their blurbs and ads read at a pretty regular basis, at least between programs. Bur yes, I would hope that the large % of listener donations would keep NPR/PBS the way they are.

Did you read the article and everything the author listed out that happened additionally over the past 4 years? The changes to vote by mail alone were drastic.

The first part, fine. Everyone should be involved with 2026 primaries to help change the Democratic party. Between now and then is our chance. But if the past week alone doesn't convince you that the GOP and Trump must have checks to their agenda ASAP regardless of how much progress is made till the mid-term, I don't know what to tell you.
