A very sad day for America and the world. The last matter it needs is an America devoid of democracy, run by an autocrat, ignoring the crimes of his buddies Jinping, Vlad and Kim, allowing them to run riot over the earth.
The Americans face their own fight for freedom in 2024 and I wish them the best.
I hope Trump is imprisoned for his crimes earlier then, and precluding him from running for President again.
The turmoil in the world is getting worse not better.

Trumps continuous love for Putin speaks for itself! Makes yous wonder if he is an asset planted by the Russians to suspension republic in America ( and this seems to be succeeding gradually). This corrupt, lying, traitor and failed coup instigator equally well equally a thief ( stole and destroyed classified Regime documents ) should exist in prison house already! LOCK HIM UP! Simply he gets a free pass as he is a dictator for the Republicans Political party!

Of course he's smart," Trump said, doubling down on praise of the Russian leader
WTF is Trump talking near here.
Does he back up what the murderer Putin is doing?
and called the country'due south president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a "dauntless man,"
That is 100% true!
Merely as well the Ukranian army and fighters!
And I actually hope they will blast the murderer Putin'due south ground forces, and the murderer Putin and all his supporter, (probably including Trump), will pay the highest price for what they are doing.

Instead, those virtually likely non to seek the GOP's 2024 presidential nomination stood united backside an agenda that includes more than parental control of schools, opposition to pandemic-related mandates and a fierce rejection of "woke" culture.
CPAC and the Trump speech just highlighted how small-minded and weak the Republican calendar is. Disagree with them and they did not alive upwards to the ideals, but the Republicans used to evangelize for bringing democracy to the world and a more prosperous country.
Now information technology is just supporting the ambitions of dictators, lazy crony commercialism, and manufacturing outrage confronting a more progressive and inclusive lodge.
Very distressing to borrow a Trumpian expression.

The odd affair is that liberals want to play the "old favorites". Simply the bodily issue is twofold and neither virtually Trump.
Ane- is Putin smart? Yep he is. None less than Obama complimented him as being so. Even street smart equally equally further compliment.
Two- is Putin smarter than our leaders Trump refers to? Also yes. as Biden shared classified intel about troop movements with China thinking they wouldn't immediately requite it to Russia instead. Super impaired.
Nancy pelosi, despite her son take concern deals in Ukraine, was calling it Hungary until a couple days ago. Also super dumb.

Once again, Trump is 100% correct. Putin is more well-read and intelligent than Biden and Trudeau combined and multiplied by 10.
That does not alter because one done does not similar him! Agreeing or disagreeing with someone is a different question. One should ever be realistic about opponents.
Of grade, I disagree with Trumps anti-Russian opinion, every bit shown by his opposition to NordStream and his delivery of lethal aid to the Ukraine. The Russia outcome is one where Trump sadly bought into the swamp narrative.

I proceed hearing knee-jerk comments like this. On what are they based, other than bullheaded dislike of Trump equally a person? Fact is, Trump was extremely harsh on Russia, from expanding sanctions to trying to stop NordStream to delivery (as a first) lethal assistance to the Ukraine. That is the Reverse of what 1 would wait from "Putin's Manchurian candidate". Only never permit facts go in the way of a proficient stereotype, maybe?

You go the impression that with Trump "smart" equals "good". Similar many others, I think Putin is smart, or at least I did until he made the major miscalculation of invading Ukraine. And similar many others, I have never, ever been fooled into thinking that in Putin's case, "smart" equals "adept".

Trump is no different from those lunatics who attacked the Upper-case letter concluding twelvemonth, of form Trump asked them to attack America and Democracy. Now he praises the enemy of the USA equally being smart. If he were alive in the late 1930s he would have praised Hitler for being smart too for invading Poland.
Trump is exactly what the train wreck Republican Party deserves, a shallow, craven, greedy, immoral idiot. When he loses in 2024 his followers tin can all move to Russia and join Putin in that disaster of a state, exactly what Trump wants to plough the USA into also. Information technology is sad to see so many people so deluded and frankly masochistic.

'People like me' still take a difficult time figuring out hyper-partisan logic, so you'll excuse my confusion on the matter.

Remember back in something like 2015 when all of the celebrities, television receiver pundits and talking heads; all of the tardily-nite tv bear witness hosts; all of the institution politicians; the then current president; and all of Hollywood laughed and mocked Trump?

I wonder if Oliver always did keep his discussion and donate to Trump's campaign.

Overnice to pretend in that location is a route dorsum but Trump is the symptom of a dysfunctional party and non the crusade. The Republican Party went off the rails in the 80s nether Reagan when he sold out the political party to Falwell and the religious correct. Once organized religion and politics were merged the party became unhinged from reality. Whoever follows Trump will exist similar or probably worse, for example an outright racist and conman type as Trump is and volition always be. If you do non go this sign upward for Trump Academy.

Weakness isn't a good face. Don't call back that it's a coincidence that these rogue rulers are acting upward. Many people in the U.S. are starting to wonder if they could have handled the mean tweets, incessant praising of his accomplishments, sometimes saying things he probably shouldn't have, but overall he was right on so many issues. I'd prefer that someone else run, as long as they have common sense on what's proficient for the bulk of Americans who value their freedom and what the constitution stands for. The mid term elections are going to be bad for the blue.

Once more Trump demonstrating his strategic prowess, by taking a realistic assessment of the enemy; on the other hand, the anti-trump oversupply demonstrates it'due south ignorance and lack of understanding the English linguistic communication: since when does "he's smart" equal "I support him" ? Can y'all imagine if generals planned their war strategy effectually their personal feelings for the enemy? Realizing and admitting you lot're enemy'south strengths does not mean yous support your enemy. Information technology means you yourself are smart and will minimize the impairment on your ain side should the time come. Russian federation is a serious earth superpower. They have nukes and satellites and astronauts in the cosmos. You don't become the dictator of that by existence dumb. The left is always manipulating and he meanings of words and phrases to suit their agenda. That's what dictators do. The left accept more in common with Putin than Trump does. Information technology was smart of Trump to stand back and make an objective assessment of Putin. It was dumb of the left to manipulate that into Trump is supporting Putin. The left are like kids at the park where they I don't like him, then he'south dumb.

I really dont retrieve Mitch McConnell will permit Trump to run over again. I call back the onetime GOP establishment knows its far too high risk.
DeSantis is a shoe in for the Republican nomination if he wants it. And a halfway lucid DeSantis against sometime Joe is a real big trouble for the Dems. If Kamela is nonetheless running as VP, there likely finished.
If the Dems are smart, theyll put forward an entirely new team.
2024 is a long way off and so much tin can go very desperately or really well for both sides. Trump, with all his legal problems, may very well exist a non starter by then.

zichi: "How tin can any American republican even recollect about giving Putin one oz of any support?"
The bulk of them are simply uneducated, and that shows conspicuously through their stupidity. Every bit for the ones who SHOULD know better but nevertheless bow down to Trump and therefore Putin and his actions in Ukraine, well, they are non only traitors to their nation and their young man Americans and families, the as well know deep down and are so utterly low that they couldn't mayhap admit it and have to quintuple downward.
It's similar I said above, one poster on hither said "No 1 in the GOP supports what Putin is doing," and then when information technology was pointed out how Trump is calling him genius and praising him, the person did so many 180°s he drilled his ain personal hole in the ground to hide in from the effort. And so he stopped commenting when he realized he simply could not defend himself or his support of what's going on.

But Trump? That's a guaranteed Dem lock. We're just learning how he attempted a coup with his scheme of fraudulent electors and fake ballot lists. And the Georgia AG has a criminal investigation ongoing on his phone call to "find 10K votes". And he'll be under indictment before long for the all the taxation and insurance fraud - and no doubt will end upward "pleading the 5th" 500 times like Eric and Weisselberg...
