This proves Trump would have done nothing to defend Ukraine

Trump has made it clear by just one statement about what he would have done to help Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion, absolutely NOTHING. Trumps says that Putin just wants to make his country larger, apparently to Trump, that is just a nothing burger. Instead of ramping up sanctions, Trump would probably have done Putin's bidding and removed all of them. This is the man leading the GOP and the reason tucker Carlson is such an agent of Putin. It is all about the money.

It’s interesting to see the narrative go from Trump will start WW3 when he was in office to Trump wouldn’t do anything now.
Guess they are trying everything now to see which one will get the most traction?
The next one will be about Tucker. They are chasing him around around like lunatics now.

I have not seen false statements about Tucker here. If anything Tucker is proud of himself and I am sure his proponents are proud of him.

Would Trump have started a war to stay in power, to distract the nation from the destruction of institutions of American Government? Not sure it matters since he clearly was happy to be part of a coup d'etat.

That's some self-soothing bullshit. Trump's habit of talking out his ass could have fueled WW3, it could have fueled a Putin land grab, it could have fueled an attack on the Capitol.

Oh, wait, that last one did happen.

No matter what happens in the world the ONLY thing that matters is that Trump gets blamed for the bad stuff and everybody else gets credit for the good stuff. As long as we keep the focus on Trump instead of the idiots we elected then the world will be at peace, the seas will recede back to where they belong and the air will smell of jasmine and honey.

It's interesting watching you defend Trump (usually within the first few posts) no matter what the scumbag says or does. And with the lamest of lame deflections.

We get it. You want to forget and dismiss the embarassment that was the Trump administration. Sorry, not happening. Least of all when he continues to run his fat lips.

Pointing out the media talks out of both sides of their mouth is not defending Trump. Your obsession with all things Trump caused you to miss that point

Spin it however you want if it makes you feel better. But you're purpose is clear to everyone: defend Trump no matter what he says or does. Deflect, deflect, deflect.

Rinse and repeat.

Trump being the head of the GOP and saying what he did needs no explanation, he is under Putin's wing. Maybe if the GOP and his followers had moved on, we would not be mentioning him at all, but since he is the GOP leader, he remains front and center when he says something like what I wrote in my OP. And to Trumpsters, if the media says something negative about Trump it is fake news or talking out of both sides of their mouth. And yes, you are constantly defending Trump, some of us just get tired of pointing it out.

It makes complete sense...it's not like The Donald knew what he was doing when he was kissing Putin's ass. He 'thought' that would gain him acceptance and respect. :rolleyes: And when the time came (in some hideous alternate future where The Donald won)...Putin would have done whatever he wanted and then, after he conquered Europe, The Donald's successor would have to actually get involved...and BOOM! 🤷

The Ukraine is not our responsibility to defend. They are not an ally, and there are no compelling national security, or economic security interests there for us. The Ukraine is a pawn, it isn't even a rook in terms of the chess world power game we are playing.

And he also thinks Putin is a genius. Meanwhile a bunch of his supporters are repeating Russian propaganda on the invasion, right down to the claim that the US/NATO provoked the war.

To be fair, we can't really pretend t be surprised. They attacked the Capitol building with the hope of killing a bunch of congress and installing Trump as Dear Leader, thereby destroying democracy. They told us who they are, about a million times over.

He did illegally assassinate a uniformed Iranian general…

Was it supposed to set Jay Falcon's teeth on edge for you to come attack Jay Falcon for responding to Lutherf's predictable vicarious-victim statements about Trump?

Or was it just another mind-numbingly boring rehash of the 30+ year old super clever internet move of "living in your head rent free"?





Trump dictates "policy" to the GOP. Trump is intent on running in 2024.

And these people think they can really *get* you with a lives rent free comment. In 2022.

Not sure about anyone else but it appears Trump takes up a decent amount of space in your head. Good luck dealing with that.
