I should have ignored the whataboutism of the partisan poster and not responded. I’ll try harder. You can leave as far as I am concerned. You have a very bad ratio of trolling to reasoned commentary. This thread is worth serious discussion. If you can't bring that, just leave. Edited March 10, 2022 by homersapien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeTiger 5,135 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “thug” and the Ukrainian government “evil” in a video obtained and published by North Carolina affiliate WRAL amid the ongoing Russian invasion. "Remember that Zelenskyy is a thug," Cawthorn said in the recording. "Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies." Sounds like someone's been listening to Sputnik News lately. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a rebuttal from me when I give you a "thumbs down" in the future, then you can attribute my opinions to be 180 degrees from yours. You battle it out with three or four others on this forum to be the most wrong on just about everything you discuss.

DKW 86 7,431 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Good info source. I am not vouching for her, but she is a Russian journalist and seems genuine in much of what she says regarding Putin and Russian Oligarchs. I have gone over a lot of what she has had to say in the past and to be frank, some parts of it did not age that well, but there is a lot of insight here to be gained. No one is 100% correct all the time. I know I am not and she is not either. Edited March 13, 2022 by DKW 86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there's a better option in 2024. Whatever Biden's and Harris's faults, they are not in the same league as Trump. Not even close. You're comparing Biden and Harris to a narcissistic psychopath. The main reason Trump is siding with Putin now is because Zelensky would not play ball with him to impugn Hunter Biden. Personal revenge is something that drives him. Trump could give a s*it about this country, much less the free world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, they might run short of the requisite "useful fools", which is maybe why they don't have him/her today. (Or maybe its just that progressives don't have an inherent mean streak and the same capacity for fear than conservatives possess.) And while I am not a big Biden fan, your statement that he is the "bottom of the barrel" is clearly opinion, not fact. I think he's doing a pretty good job in managing our country - and arguably the free world - in this crisis, at least so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said it before, there is only one party that holds regard for the principles of democracy and all that it implies. But, until we as people unite, we cannot find enough power for that to mean much. So, let's not play the partisan card. It won't help. Let us rely on reason.

Opinion is mostly what we have here, but I know a very flawed leader when I see one and in this case it’s both of them. She’s embarrassing on the world stage and he doesn’t have the wear with all to truly lead or serve appropriately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must think it makes you sound educated and analytical. Just to be clear: Trump “could give a s*it” or “couldn’t give a s*it”? Or are you too dim to know the difference?
