Another post that makes no sense whatsoever. Congrats.

Maybe try some brain improvement exercises? Ginkoba? Perhaps seek medical help to uncover your cognitive decline?

I don't want you to struggle lil fella... Putin made it clear that the use of US weapons against Russia would piss him off. So what did Biden do?

So you don't want to make dear leader Putin upset? You can't wait for Trump to get back in office so Putin can control our country again?
Looking forward to Communism inside our borders?
Thought so.

Let us guess, not only are you smarter than the whole of this forum but your acumen in the matters of war and diplomacy are far beyond our grasp too.

I already heard that hysterical bullshit from my roommates wife.

Proof the left just repeats talking points their news and media groups force them to swallow.

I'm arguing on the same playing field that the right-wingers here are arguing on.

If inflation now is Biden's fault, then inflation back then must be Trumps fault.
If stock market increases back then are Trumps success, then stock market increases now must be Biden's success.
If a decrease in mfg jobs by the end of Trumps term is a success, then an increase above tge high under Biden must be a massive success.
And so on.

I think that's a reasonable way to act, unless the wingers want to see the reality you just described.

What do you think are the odds of that?

I think facts, truth & context are the lens thru which we should view the world around us. Those that "feel" inflation (or anything else) is Biden's (or Trump's) fault merely because it happened when he was in office are just party loyal NPCs. I have respect for people like Joe Rogan, Ana Kasperian, etc that are more concerned about truth and context are willing to look outside their party's echo chamber.

I'm sure glad no one on the losing side is blaming starlink for rigging the election

Don't give them ideas.

More of your Spins, Backpedals, Calling BS, Misdirection, in order to cover up that you essentially lied.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

No comment on your lie about how religion is not being pushed on anyone, or the complete 180 on how 42million minimum wage workers should just "get a better job", but it's the government's fault that you can't get a better job, or that Trump is going to help the country by pushing prices down which will eliminate jobs and reduce wages.

And so on.


the United States is a country that tells people struggling under oppression or poor conditions, "You should come,"

I guess you've never been to Liberty Island, or were taught anything about the statue. Have you ever heard of a poem called the New Colossus"?
It's on a plaque at the base of the statue. The statue that is the representation of (among several things) THE ADVANCEMENT OF FREEDOM.

Part of that poem is:
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

So Biden was pretty damn accurate when he said "the United States is a country that tells people struggling under oppression or poor conditions, "You should come,"

Now this is going to shock the **** out of you, but that plaque has been there since 1903.
It was not placed there by Biden, and the concept was not created by, nor promulgated by, Biden.

And do yourself a favor: Look up the term asylum. Then look up what has to be done for someone to be granted asylum.

Hint: Unlike Trump just "thinking documents into a declassified state". Getting asylum requires a person to provide proof they should be eligible. They don't just "think it" into existence, and can't simply claim it and get it.
But of course, you will say I'm lying and there are a hundred million illegal migrants who get asylum just for the asking.
So go ahead, and look up the process yourself. Show me where I'm wrong.

I'm sure immigrants will still be welcome under Trump. Illegal immigrants will have to figure out how to migrate here legally.

Right... the key word is LEGALLY.

Luckily for the GOP/Trump, they didn't need conservatives to "think." The swing voters in the swing states put enough thought into the election to see that Kamala and the DNC were a poor choice.

Proof the left just repeats talking points their news and media groups force them to swallow.

You just stated that your own concerns are "hysterical bullshit" if you're worried that Biden is doing things contrary to dear leader Putin's liking.

So, are we as a country supposed to do what Putin wants, or not?

I am guessing you are still not interested in adult conversation and only want to continue your childish comments.

The hysterical bullshit is the left thinking Putin is going to run things in the US and that we will be under a communist rule.

The more you make dumb *** comments Rob, the more I think you are a sorry ***, bitter troll.

So what was with this post where you express your displeasure that Biden isn't toeing Putin's line?

Do you think we should bow to Putin's command, or not?
