That was sure my first thought. Wendy P.

In summary, he's angry. This is the Find Out stage. Tariffs and prayers!

More pissing hookers?

One has to wonder what kompromat Putin has on Donald.

He is at least a knob. JD accused Zelensky of disrespecting the USA by lecturing then about conditions in Ukraine. A couple of weeks ago JD came to Munich and disrespected the entire European community by lecturing us on how to run our own internal political systems. A guy who has spoken extensively about the need to replace US democracy with a single far right leader accused Europe of betraying democracy if they we don’t invite the far right into government. The shallowest of hypocrites. As for Trump - dis anyone ever think we’d see an American President display such weakness on the world stage? It is now blanket administration policy to not even acknowledge that Russia invaded Ukraine in the first place in case the Kremlin takes offence at the truth. Alongside dismantling protections against Russian cyber warfare, halting aid to Ukraine and proposing the lifting of all sanctions on Russia and the Russians it seems that the White House believes it’s only ploy in these ‘negotiations’ is to give Putin absolutely every single thing he could ever want and hope he decides to throw them a bone in return.

Ironic that this thread started with you being incredibly angry that other people didn’t automatically believe every single word of what Burchett said happened behind closed doors. Now you’re incredibly angry because you refuse to believe any of what Bill said happened behind closed doors

A little bit of German humour poking fun at trump

https://www.watoday.com.au/politics/western-australia/wa-premier-brands-us-vice-president-a-knob-20250304-p5lgth.html Our premiere has called JD Vance a knob. Trump said the world was laughing at the US, well we sure are now. Global leaders are starting to publicly correct him and slowly starting to take the piss.

Because it has been the default. To this day, "black sounding" names get interviews less often. That's discrimination. Because, again, that's been the default. For a simple proof of this, JD Vance was admitted to college under a DEI program. When I pointed this out to conservatives, a good half of them replied with "that's absurd, he's white." DEI is indeed the opposite. It means hire anyone if they are qualified, regardless of their race or sex or gender. D. It says hire anyone qualified even if they need a handicapped parking spot. E. It says provide services that some employees need (like mother's rooms) even if they are a small percentage of the workforce. I. Oh I know what YOU think it means. No gender affirming care for trans kids. But gender affirming care for cis kids? No problem! And if you think that just makes sense - you are the problem. Yes, now AND then. Even if you don't understand the issues. Do you think porn is the same as books about queer kids? How about books about straight kids? Are they OK? Again, if one is OK but not the other - that's homophobia. If you were supporting democracy you would have voted for Harris. You prefer a dictator, as long as the dictator does what you want. Don't feel bad - most US conservatives are like you. https://pro.morningconsult.com/trend-setters/global-right-wing-authoritarian-test

Damn Canadians need to open that giant faucet. South Carolina is under Canada, and water flows down!

But he's your guy anyway. Because there is nothing he could do that would cause you to re-think your support of him, and risk potentially having been wrong. I'm sorry, but that's bullshit. I'm assuming that means that your humanity has a price, and so does everyone else's. Wendy P.

It isn't. There isn't. 1) It can't. Europe is already giving a lot of aid, but it is not capable of replacing US arms supply. Ukraine needs weapons from both sides of the atlantic. 2) That's not the goal. As things currently stand, doing business with Russia is the goal.
