Okay, but why are Trump's hands clean? His covid lies, quack remedies and impatience to reopen before it was safe led to hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths.
His body count may not be as high as Vlad's, but it's not too shabby either, if you admire mass murderers.
From growing up in the last decades of the Cold war in a place with so many military eqpt contractors they didn't bother to teach children to hide under the desk, to today's pandering to a potential future version of the USSR... My mind still can't grasp fully what Republicans are doing right now.
As I recall, around 20 or so years ago an American president claimed to have looked into Putin's soul. So our devolution was pretty far along even then...
From my deck in Canada, I feared this was coming when George Bush said “I’m the decider”. It’s been a never ending confirmation of my worst fears ever since!
I just meant about Soviet Union or Russian policy. Not anyone is a perfect person including me. We all have our prejudices and differences. Its a small world and we have to figure it out.
Today Reagan and McCain would probably be on Trump’s side. This country has put more facist dictators in power than any country in history. Let’s not forget that the USSR was communist and therefore so very much worse.
The fairness doctrine would have never impacted Fox News. The fairness doctrine applied to broadcasting on public airwaves, and the free access news organizations were given to them. Fox broadcasts on a private cable network.
TBF, if you read dystopian/Scifi novels, with a side dash of Lord of the Flies, this isn't a surprise.
It couldn't have happened if the 1950s to 80s tax rates were still in place. Our governments effectively paid them to take over whilst destroying the electorate.
The rise of a populist demagogue on the far-right isn't so unusual. What breaks my brain is the utter capitulation of an entire political party AND by mainstream news media...
“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered...."
Believe it or not when they used to talk about him running in the '90s, I said then he would destroy this country and he'd sell us out to Russia. So yes knowing that it's him that's involved absolutely yes.
I am shocked that the Republicans so gleefully bit the pillow for Putin, but I’m not at all surprised by the sheer weight of American stupidity. I remember 2000.
Nikita Khrushchev said in 1956: “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within”.
And Trump and JD Dunce are their agents.
My mother wouldn’t let me book us cheaper flights to the UK for a dreamed of last visit because it meant a layover in Moscow. She knew he was a KGB thug and wouldn’t let a nickel of her money help that “bahsturd’s” country.
Yes. I said in the 90s when Ukraine gave up its nukes, it didn't make sense. Americans don't give a fuck about Ukraine why would they give up their only security guarantee.
Nope - not that someone who was a convicted rapist would be president, not that abortion would be banned, nor that people would be fired for the colour of their skin. I’m from the UK and I would never, ever have imagined it.
and Americans would get behind it! I am sickened by reading all the Pro-Russia posts and cheering for an alliance with Putin. They think it makes us richer. Putin is rich. Russia is BROKE. I guess those under 40 who never knew the USSR don't understand what it would mean to have it back.
Reminder:
Russian military intelligence had a bounty program to pay Taliban-linked militants for killing American and other allied service members during the war in Afghanistan.
Also gave them weapons and logistical data on our troops movements .
As a New Yorker
If 20 years ago you’d told me Trump would be president in 20 years
I would say yes
Every New Yorker knew he couldn’t run his business without Russian’s money
He was nothing without Russians

We can see Graham goes any which way the wind blows.
Rubio looks so fk week.

When republicans nominated him first time
I knew they were filled with hate groups!
And hate is never good!
Republicans just slowly sold their souls to evil!

Bush Senior trained Bin Laden...
So yes, as a Canadian, I would have believed a US President would have added a dictator.
And Trump and JD Dunce are their agents.
The guy has been a sleazeball his entire life, and he's never had a good word to say about our country.
