Re: GOP House is a "complete failure"

I didn't say he prefers Putin over the country. I said that he holds Putin in high regard and evidence seems to suggest that. Donald does seem to have a little bit of a crush on authoritarians. Those who express opinions that contradict Donald will generally find themselves on the wrong side of a so...

Re: GOP House is a "complete failure"

The Republican nominee, and leader of the MAGA Party, holds Putin in high regard. Expressing opinion contrary to Donald's is fraught with danger. They may not like Putin, but their words and actions benefit him.

Re: Major terrorist attack kills at least 40 in Russia

I dunno Toonces. We may never know for sure but even if ISIS is behind the attack, nothing prevents Putin and his administration from using this attack as propaganda for his Ukraine initiative. That would be the "if it benefits him" part of equation. They were looking to blame Ukraine as ...

Re: Major terrorist attack kills at least 40 in Russia

ISIS says that they did it because of Russia's wars in Islamic nations. Did ISIS do it? They claim they did, but I don't think we can honestly say that the question is answered. Until there's verifiable proof, we won't know. Even if proof is presented, we won't know if we can trust it. Could this ha...

Re: What’s going to happen to Trump Mon Mar 25 2024?

I guess the question is. Does Donald Trump deserve preferential treatment? He is not required to put up a bond to appeal. However, the seizure of assets can still occur, in that instance. So, yes he can appeal without bond but the fine will still be levied. If he wins on appeal, he can get it all ba...

Re: What did we learn from COVID?

That's a good comparison because, as we know, Florida was truthful and accurate in their reporting. You are, at the very least, predictable. Kudos for that. Though, one has to wonder, if you don't care about others, why is the illegal immigration a problem? Are they personally bothering you, and how?

Re: What did we learn from COVID?

That merely indicates who were at higher risk, not the impact of mitigation policies. It's impossible to know the precise role policies played, but by analyzing global data you can get an idea of their effects. Though, it does highlight a callous disregard of human lives, which seems to be a theme. ...
