Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
rudi49jr replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Apparently, Igor Girkin (or Strelkov) was arrested, and his present whereabouts are unknown. Good. I hope they lock this SOB up and he spends the rest of his miserable life somewhere in a Gulag in Siberia. https://kyivindependent.com/russian-media-claim-girkin-arrested/ -
In a 2004 interview, Trump told CNN's Wolf Blitzer: "In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat", explaining: "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats...But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Donald_Trump The guy is all over the place, in his political affiliations as well as in the way he talks. He couldn’t string a coherent sentence together back then, and it’s just gotten worse. Although he’s not wrong in saying that the economy does better under the Democrats, there’s no doubt about that….

I can only imagine how much better the world would be right now had Trump not been elected. And to refresh your memory, here’s how Gore conceded: In a televised speech from his ceremonial office next to the White House, Gore said that while he was deeply disappointed and sharply disagreed with the Supreme Court verdict that ended his campaign, ”partisan rancor must now be put aside.” “I accept the finality of the outcome, which will be ratified next Monday in the Electoral College” he said. “And tonight, for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession.” https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/al-gore-concedes-presidential-election I’d say that’s quite a difference from the way Trump handled his defeat, wouldn’t you say? Trump was too petty to even admit that he lost. And Gore won the popular vote as well, by the way, so in a normal democracy he would have been president. And as far as I know, Gore is not a Person Of Color. Unless you care to explain what your definition of POC is.

I don’t recall Trump being a Democrat, but back then he was at least a semi-decent guy in public. Since he became president he’s become more and more of a total nutbag, and a full blown fascist as well. Gore conceded rather gracefully, certainly in comparison to Trump and his clan, and I don’t think he’s been moaning about it ever since, and neither has Clinton. Even if HRC had been moaning, she has/had a point, since she got over 3 million more votes than Trump. He just became president because of that stupid electoral college thing you have in the US. In any other true democracy, she would have won and would have been president.

Almost all of the voter fraud that was ever discovered (and is still being uncovered) is by Republicans who voted twice, or even more often, and all did it knowingly and willingly. They are all white and all they got is a slap on the wrist, while a black woman in Texas who voted once by mistake who turned out not to be allowed to vote because she was on probation, got sentenced to five years in jail. Talk about tour two tier justice system.

And yet millions and millions of lemmings can’t wait to follow Trump and make him their almighty overlord. It won’t be ‘in god we trust’ anymore, but ‘in Trump we trust’. And those who resist will be persecuted. I keep seeing in my mind’s eye that video from WWII, where Joseph Goebbels stands in front of a huge and delirious crowd and shouts at the top of his lungs ‘do you want total war’? And the crowd roars ‘yes!!!’. Absolutely frightening and chilling, how such a huge crowd can be whipped into a murderous frenzy by just one man and his hateful words.

Of course the Kremlin will (try to) meddle and interfere and do whatever they can to fan the division, because that is in their best interest. Jevgeni Prigozhin, not just the Wagner boss but also the proprietor of a very busy troll farm and possibly several, admitted they had meddled in US elections and will continue to do so. But they must be laughing their @ss off in the Kremlin, seeing as how many useful idiots they have already in the good ol’ US of A, doing their job for them, tearing the country apart, sowing division and hatred.

Trump blames Chris Christie for ‘mistake’ of nominating FBI director.
rudi49jr replied to Social Media's topic in World News
What happened to ‘I only hire the best people’? That turned to be a big lie, one of many. But this is classic narcissistic Donald Trump: it’s never his fault, always somebody else’s. He would fit in well in Thailand. -
Trump said on a radio show the other day that Joe Biden is on cocaine. This, of course, because of the little bag of cocaine that was found in the White House. So Trump, of course, automatically assumes Joe Biden is on cocaine, or at least sees a golden opportunity to accuse Biden of being on cocaine. And his mindless base will no doubt eat it up. If Trump is so concerned about people being on cocaine, maybe he should pay some more attention to Don Jr, because when you watch the videos he puts out, I can’t shake the feeling that that guy must be on something, no doubt about it.
-
You’re a bit of a nitpick, aren’t you? You see the few instances when Biden ‘bragged’, but apparently you don’t see (or recognize) it when Trump does it a thousand times worse. I wonder why that is. Do you really not see it when Trump does it, or does it not bother you? Or maybe you even admire that in him?
-
Really? Then what are you doing on this forum making unsubstantiated claims?
-
They’re Republican members of the US Congress, and some of the most outspoken ones. I’m not even American and I know (of) them. Maybe you should look them up and check to see if your guess about their sanity is correct.
-
Guess again. And you really don’t know who MTG, Lauren Boebert, Jim Jordan, Louis Gomert and Paul Gosar are? I find that quite shocking.
-
So you think people like MTG, Lauren Boebert, Jim Jordan, Louis Gomert, Paul Gosar (I can go on for hours) are sane?

I’m not really anti-American, not an idealist either. I’m just really very much anti Americans who describe themselves as “100% American patriot, capitalist and freedom fighter”. That alone is enough to set off quite a few red flags for me. And that remark about being lumped in with the historical bunch that have brought misery to millions? I think the USA doesn’t have a very honorable history in that respect. For one thing, G.W. Bush and his neo-con cronies (your guys, right?) have been responsible for creating a huge mess in the Middle East, hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the creation of very favorable circumstances for countless numbers of young muslims to become radicalized, something the world is still suffering from today. That has brought misery to millions, and is still bringing misery to millions more. All because a bunch of neo-con sh!t for brains were so eager to go to war that they fabricated ‘evidence’ (Saddam has weapons of mass destruction!) to be able to do so.

You don’t think being on the side of reason and sanity (as opposed to chaos and lunacy) is a good enough reason?

A Donal Trump supporter complaining about name calling. Oh, the irony.
