Biden shredded himself. Trump was just telling his usual lies. When he goes up against Kamala Harris, he knows she’s not going to let him get away with that. They should do two debates: one in a venue proposed by Trump, and one in a venue proposed by Harris. Problem solved. Although I doubt very much if Trump is going to debate Harris at all.

Which amendment would that be?

Remember him asking oil company CEO’s for a billion dollars in campaign donations? Hmm, I wonder what he’s going to do in return for that if he becomes president….

Didn’t Trump suggest the other day that he would actually debate Harris, but only at one of his rallies? What happened to ‘any time, any place’?

I might ask you the same thing.

Not scared to debate, just not very keen on getting sucked into a debate that is not based on facts. I asked you a very simple question: do you agree that Ukraine gained independence in 1991? No need for a debate when you go by that fact. Do you have any evidence of Joe Biden taking money from Ukraine, by the way? If you have, maybe you should hand it over to James Comer, who’s been trying to impeach Biden for years. With zero evidence so far, and zero result. If you think Saudi Arabia is interested in peace in the Middle East (or anywhere else) you’re even more delusional than I thought. MBS, like any other (wannabe) dictator, is only interested in power and having people suck up and bow down to him. As for starting wars: Saudi Arabia is heavily involved in the civil war in Sudan, as well as in the war in Yemen. Mainly to fight proxy wars there with their arch enemy.

Why would I want to discuss history with you? Ukraine gained independence in 1991, that’s all I need to know. Or do you not agree with that? And since day 1 of that independence, Russia has been meddling and trying to undermine the sovereignty of Ukraine. Or do you not agree with that? About the money. Hunter got a few million dollars for being on the board of a Ukrainian energy company. Kushner got 2 billion dollars because his father in law was the president of the USA. Spot the difference. Leninist media. You’re hilarious. And not at all biased.

Jeez, could you be more condescending? And maybe take some history classes. Ukraine is not part of Russia, Ukraine was part of Russia. Just like Belgium used to be part of The Netherlands, but is now an independent sovereign state. And if you want to talk dollars: how about the 2 billion dollars Jared Kushner got from Saudi Arabia just because his father-in-law was president of the USA? That doesn’t worry you?

Trump is smart? You and I must have different definitions of ‘smart’. And how is he going to end the war exactly? Let me guess, by leaning on Ukraine to give Russia the territory it has occupied in Ukraine, so Putin gets what he wants. Remember Neville Chamberlain? “I bring you peace with honour”? Appeasement never works. And just to be clear: Putin can outsmart your guy Trump any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Not that that takes a lot.

He just congratulated Putin on having made a great deal with that prisoner exchange. Shows you exactly what kind of ‘man’ Trump is and where his sympathy lies.

Does this look like a well man to you: https://newrepublic.com/post/182908/video-trump-cognitive-decline-memory-issues I can find dozens of more examples like this.

In Spain a lot of (mainly old) people still revere Franco, in Italy it’s Mussolini, in Germany Hitler, in Russia Stalin, the list goes on and on. Apparently ‘strong leaders’ or dictators have a certain appeal to certain people. Unfortunately the trend now seems to be that voters shift to the (far) right and want to be ruled by a dictator. Which means people don’t seem to learn a damned thing from history.

I wonder what your comment would have been if this had been a deal brokered by Trump….

Why don’t you go live in Russia, if you’re so hell bent on living in a fascist dictatorship.

Far right radicals - some would call them fascists - support dictators like Putin, Xi and Kim.

How anyone can call Biden and the Democrats far left (or even radical left) is beyond me. But Trump and his minions have been doing their darndest to paint that picture, that the Democrats are socialists, communists, radical left and are to be feared because of that. It’s simply fear mongering, one of the very few things the Republicans are very good at: making stuff up, spinning fairy tales and telling people what to be afraid of, and who to blame for that. And the sheeple just parrot what their Dear Leader keeps telling them. FYI: in my country, Biden and most Democrats would be somewhat to the right of the political center. No one here would confuse them for ‘lefties’.

Piers Morgan is a slightly watered down version of Tucker Carlson. They both pander to the far right and MAGA because they know that’s where their bread and butter is. Amoral opportunists, to say the least.

And the thing is that many of them know very well that Trump is scamming and conning them, but apparently they don’t care and keep sending him their hard earned money. The mind boggles.

Yes, De Santis is doing such a stellar job in Florida, with his ridiculous (and expensive) culture wars. How’s that going, him taking on Disney? When he joined the race to become the Republican candidate for presidency, this is what he said when asked what his goal was if he became president: “to destroy the left and the woke ideology”. Does that sound like a sane guy to you? He could have said any number of things. Increase minimum wage. Create more affordable housing for low and middle income households. Make the rich pay their fair share of taxes. Not let corporations and billionaires run the country. Affordable healthcare for all. Focus on renewable energy. Protect the environment. The list goes on. There are so many things that many people in the US desperately need, but De Santis gave them all the finger and decided he just wanted to continue with his culture wars. I’m glad he’ll be history when he gets voted out of office.

Apparently, Donald Trump said that disabled people ‘should just die’. And this is the guy that MAGA and all those evangelical born again hypocrites want for president. What a great guy! What a hero! https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/24/donald-trump-nephew-fred-disabled-son-book/74530037007/

Absolutely. Chalerm is probably one of the most corrupt officials Thailand has ever had, and that is saying something, in a country as corrupt as Thailand. His sons are no better, by the way. Didn’t one of them shoot someone in the head in a busy night club? There were dozens of witnesses yet he never spent one minute in jail for that. If memory serves, he became a firearms instructor with the RTP after that. You can’t make sh!t like that up.

It seems like the gutless wonder is already reneging on his promise to debate Harris ‘any time, any place’. Gee, who’d have thunk it? https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/kamala-harris-trump-backs-out-debates-1235068484/

Perhaps you should get a handle on what fascistic means before using such difficult words. You seem as confused as your MAGA brethren in the US, who keep parroting their cult leader, and call Democrats anything from radical left, socialist, communist to fascist. Which is not just a little bit ridiculous, but totally ludicrous.

The only hypocrisy I see here is from our resident China apologist. Pot -> kettle.

The scary thing is that Trump himself believes everything he says, that all of this never would have happened if he were president, and that he will immediately end all wars and chaos when he becomes president again. The even scarier thing is that his delusional MAGA base also believes him.
