"Vladimir Putin of Russia says that Biden's, and this is a quote, politically motivated persecution of his political rival is very good for Russia because it shows the rottenness of the American political system." (Navalny?)
February 15, 2024
"One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, well sir, if we don't pay and we are attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said: You didn't pay, you're delinquent. He says, yes, let's say that happened. Trump: I say no. I will not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay; you pay your bill." (NATO is not a protection racket.)
Current Comment
Republicans have lost independence of thought as they sabotage NATO, Ukraine, and the border, hoping to blame Biden. The border solution does not take away the issue, contrary to Trump appeasement thinking (remember 1938 appeasement failed). Trump still can blame Biden for 8 million over border in first three years, and can threaten 10 million deportations. Partial solution can be blocked to hurt Biden and America, but the issue remains regardless.
Only the goal of chaos is the way for clueless MAGA Republicans. The MAGA Republicans are the gang that can't shoot straight led by a gangster style fool who knows next to nothing about government or democracy and grifts whenever he can, especially fundraising and getting favors from his autocratic buddies. Reagan is rolling over in his grave, as Trump goes isolationist.
