Putin invaded. Ukraine defended. If Ukraine decide to surrender and be slaves of Russ that's their choice. It's in the best interest of the west to help Ukraine and to continue to do so.

Kremlin talking point repeat.

Their preferred candidate for the economy losing has nothing to do with whether the advice was correct or not.

Do the bats have MSG?

Not a warrior, Also not a useful idiot for Putin.

It was stupid and irresponsible to not do it MUCH EARLIER.

Did you actually watch Feeling Randy? I didn't find it stupid. It was funny and some serious topics were approached as well. I do suspect it resonates better with people who grew up in the 70s In American movies for various reasons teen roles are usually cast with adults.

Vladimir thanks you.

Yeah. Better late than never though. It was predictable that Biden wouldn't do it before the election though.

Putin says a lot of crap. No reason to listen to him.

Well, based on Trump's actions so far and he's not even in office yet, I would say hope ain't gonna cut it.

Translation: People dedicated to the constitution and rule of law instead of loyalty to one very insane American dictator. Yes, Trump will be without such guardrails. The shallow ignoramuses that argued that Trump 2.0 will be the same as Trump 1.0 will be eating crow and it won't take much time for that either.

You're wrong. Real GOP heads too. Maga cultists not.

Gaetz is probably the worst of this stinky bunch, but don't forget how horribly bad Tulsi Gabbard is. Put her in and western allies will stop sharing all or most of their intelligence secrets with the U.S. because with good grounds, they will see Gabbard as a Putin toady. The security of the U.S. will be greatly weakened if she's installed.

I'm not suggesting that my posts here are going to help save American democracy from the Trumpist autocratic takeover. This is a discussion forum. Very important things are happening and will be happening after the election. I find the attacks that we shouldn't talk any more just because the election is over and we have a clear winner to be completely ridiculous. One thing that will be interesting to watch and has already started -- Trump Voter Regret. Trump voters saying stuff like we didn't vote for this or that even though they really have no excuse this time as Trump has made it very clear what he's about to anyone giving the tiniest effort to have found out. I expect as the pain of his policies hit, that phenom to become very significant and if there are real midterms, hopefully be reflected in those results. As far as a potential civil war, I wouldn't go there yet worrying about it. The divisions are certainly as deep as they were in the last one but it isn't the same geographical situation. Take a state like Georgia. Voted red but it's population centers very blue. There are things that might spark something though. Miller has talked about sending in state national guards from red states into blue states to enforce mass deportations. That's definitely skating on thin ice.

I see this as a more grey area. On the one hand I think the maga voting public will need to personally experience the pain Trump 2.0 will definitely bring but on the other hand the history of autocratic regime shows earlier rather than later engagement gives better chances of reducing the severity and hope of reversal.

Bizarre post. I never said a small percentage. Trump indeed won by a modest margin. Yes British. Why deny? https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/341833/the-origin-of-knickers-in-a-knot-and-knickers-in-a-twist#341900 I can see dummy spit is Aussie/NZ origin but not American. https://crossidiomas.com/dummy-spit/

Most Senators didn't stand for election. All house members did.

If you you use youtube a lot you know how they have made skipping ads much less viable and sometimes you need to wait a really really long time. Other times weirdly a one hour video will play without interruption. Well they finally got to me! I resisted for a long time but the thousands of cuts (waits) finally did the trick. The cost in Thailand is 179 baht a month after one month free. My understanding is that it's much more expensive in the U.S. and other countries, so that's an incentive. I signed up using a Thai debit card for online shopping for the first time because I figured using a US card would make the Thai rate questionable. Unfortunately that proved to be a bit of problem trying two different cards. The first attempt signed me out of youtube and first tried to force me to do a Thai language verification process. Google sent me a security red alter. Somehow dodged that not sure how and finally got it sorted.

Push come to shove the republican senators will have no backbone as usual. Maybe Gaetz and one other will be stopped but that's it.

The election is done. What Trump 2.0 is doing has just begun. If you find that boring, you may just not read about it. Sorted.

Some will call this fear mongering. I call it another attempt at a wake up call. Obviously it would have been much much easier to beat Trump at the polls. But that didn't happen. So Americans hoping to stop this autocratic creeping now dramatically accellerated, we are where we are now. There is still hope but the earlier the actions the better.

Did you personally get cataract surgery by Dr. Santa?

This was surprisingly good. A sophisticated coming of age / sex comedy set in 1970's East Bay (San Francisco area). Both the 1970's and the Bay area were portrayed authentically.
