I can offer a probable explanation. It's YOUR reality, which doesn't make it an actual reality. It's just one example among many. It's an example of alt-reality. Reality is what it is, but our perceptions and biases mess with "it is what it is". It's psychological deception. ************* Degenerate 1:1 1 Then Trump said, "Let Us re-make a Nation in MY Image, after My likeness, to rule over everything in the Nation, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it".

In David Frum's article: "A brief spasm of mild post pandemic inflation has been overcome". You see, this sort of blatant falsehood throws all credibility out the window. The truth is, since 2016 the country has become further divided than at any time since the civil war. The major players in both parties have played a significant part, with Donald Trump being a primary catalyst. The opposing factions appear to be the Trumpeteers, who worship the man over any particular ideology, and the urban liberals who are essentially leaderless but cling to their ideology as being best for all. The shooting, which has not even been proven to be political, is not a real game changer. The followers will still follow, the haters will still hate. It appears to have had the effect of getting some who claimed to have been lukewarm in regard to Trump, to fully move into the Trump camp. So, that may have an effect. The left is still in disarray, realizing they don't actually have a candidate. They have had the misfortune of having this pitiful loser, who murdered a man and tried to murder others, tied to their camp, justifiably or not. No real fundamental change, just an exacerbation of the existing rancor. That's all I see. Regards, bill. | |||

He invaded Ukraine, didn't he? Even Biden's warnings were roundly ignored because he knows there is nothing behind them. Biden is too predictable in what he is or isn't willing to commit to. That's why the war is grinding on with time on Russia's side and Russia is gaining ground again as we speak. Putin himself has said he would prefer that Biden get another term rather than Trump. Meanwhile, in April, the draft age in Ukraine was just lowered because they are running out of men able and willing to fight. Strangely, that age was lowered from 27 to 25 years old - yes, I said 25. They are at war with Russia and their draft age is 25? Does that sound like Ukraine is committed to victory to you? 170 Ukrainian government officials have been charged in corruption cases so far this year, for crimes like embezzlement and accepting bribes. Has Putin's power been diminished while Biden has been in office? No, just the opposite. | |||

Right. Things are going great for Russia in the Ukraine.

You been making this dumb-ass argument for years now. The idea that Putin is scared of trump is ridiculous. trump acts like an excited school-boy when he is around the Russian leader. He admires the guy and has said so repeatedly. He wouldn't have done squat to prevent the Russian invasion. And, he's on record as not supporting further aid to the Ukraine relating to the resistance. https://www.nbcnews.com/politi...d-ukraine-rcna142774 Educate yourself in regard to the reasons for the Russian invasion: https://www.lowyinstitute.org/...l%20to%20this%20goal. -Every damn thing is your own fault if you are any good. | |||

Most of the youngsters high-tailed out of the Ukraine long ago as they preferred to continue living their lives and by high-tailing out of the country during a time of war would make them deserters so forget thinking that they will go back and do their bit for God and Country; their views on Zelensky are not flowery either. | |||

Surely you jest. Trump called Putin a "genius" for invading Ukraine. He's spoken out against helping Ukraine; he has a grudge because of Ukraine's unwillingness to manufacture evidence to help Giuliani. Do you really believe Putin wouldn't want Trump back in the White House? | |||

Just as I suspected…more of the same tired old narrative of Russia using the internet and social media to alter the election. Yes, the examples such as you have posted are out there ad nauseam…mostly published by left leaning sources. Newsflash for you Steve…Russia (USSR) has been using espionage to sow discord into our politics since the 1950s…nothing new here. First off, don’t you think Russia is smart enough to know our intelligence will pick it all up? So with that in mind what makes you think this is to benefit Trump. They know full well nothing stirs the blood of a Democrat more than a report they could be helping Trump. Maybe it’s to benefit the Democratic Party??? Secondly, have you ever seen any statistics attributing a percentage of success to these so-called disinformation attacks? Thirdly, in a country with free access to all media…some of this should always be expected. And if we are going to continue to be a 1 man 1 vote democracy…you are going to just trust your fellow Americans to be smart enough to not be affected as it will always be out there in a free society. Me…I don’t buy that it makes a dimes worth of difference either way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

You won't get an honest answer from the usuals here, so here it is from the interview: BUCK: Mr. President, in the last 24 hours we know Russia has said that they are recognizing two breakaway regions of Ukraine, and now this White House is stating that this is an “invasion.” That’s a strong word. What went wrong here? What has the current occupant of the Oval Office done that he could have done differently? PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, what went wrong was a rigged election and what went wrong is a candidate that shouldn’t be there and a man that has no concept of what he’s doing. I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, “This is genius.” Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. (sarcastic) So, Putin is now saying, “It’s independent,” a large section of Ukraine. I said, “How smart is that?” And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s strongest peace force… We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re gonna keep peace all right. No, but think of it. Here’s a guy who’s very savvy… I know him very well. Very, very well. By the way, this never would have happened with us. Had I been in office, not even thinkable. This would never have happened. But here’s a guy that says, you know, “I’m gonna declare a big portion of Ukraine independent,” he used the word “independent,” “and we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace.” You gotta say that’s pretty savvy. And you know what the response was from Biden? There was no response. They didn’t have one for that. No, it’s very sad. Very sad. | |||

Germany had many geniuses, nuclear, jet propulsion, strategy, etc. Their cause was the issue. They lost, but not before causing lots of agony for humanity. Same with Putin. Same with Stalin and Lenin. Same with Trump.
That quote from Trump, the whole thing is beyond sad. It's disturbing, and sick, especially in the context of that infamous meeting and photo-op where in front of Putin, Trump said explicitly that he trusted Putin's word over the US intelligence agency. Putin's sly smile said the rest of the story. And, even more disturbing are the Trump apologists. ************* Degenerate 1:1 1 Then Trump said, "Let Us re-make a Nation in MY Image, after My likeness, to rule over everything in the Nation, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it".

I do believe that Trump will bring about an end to the war in Ukraine. He will do that by giving both sides a way out and holding them to it. I do believe Trump will do something about the millions of illegals in the country and will at least do something to stem the flow. Sadly, I believe he will also increase the debt, but I don't see how he can help it. If he manages to reduce the budgetary deficit, year by year, that will be a big win. I do not think much of Donald Trump as a person, but I do think he might get some things done. Joe Biden absolutely will not. The one thing Trump will have trouble doing is to attract moderates from the center. Focusing on immigration, the war in Ukraine, and economic policy, will help with that. I honestly don't think Biden is capable of beating a ham sandwich at this point. Regards, Bill. | |||

No, he said the tactic was "genius" To declare independence in parts of Ukraine and go in as a "peace keeping force" It was ALL criticism of Biden not adulation for Putin. | |||

So, Bill, you don't think the 50,000 shock troops will be an issue, except perhaps to help Trump reverse and quash previous admin accomplishments and maybe aside he will end the war in Ukraine? BTW, how in heck is he going to hold Putin to whatever lame promises he made to gain territory, especially after Trump guts NATO? ************* Degenerate 1:1 1 Then Trump said, "Let Us re-make a Nation in MY Image, after My likeness, to rule over everything in the Nation, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it".

What's clear about that is Trump's vision of "peace keeping FORCE". That's practically the whole point of Trump's governance and worldview. That's part of what he considers genius, and worth emulating, of course, here in the US, whenever he alone deems it fit, with impunity BTW. ************* Degenerate 1:1 1 Then Trump said, "Let Us re-make a Nation in MY Image, after My likeness, to rule over everything in the Nation, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it".

I had to re-read my own post to see where I said that. It must have been edited somehow, because I couldn't find it. I pointed out positive things I think Trump will do. Whether or not they will outweigh the negatives (and there are bound to be a few) remains to be seen. Just think, if the Democrats had decided to close the border to illegal entry, had done something other than print money for Ukraine to grow the economy, and had pulled back on the promotion of wokeism in elementary schools, a lot of this wouldn't be an issue would it. In 2020 Donald Trump threw a winnable election through tactical errors and not keeping quiet. In 2024, the Democrats are doing what they did in 2016, they are running an unelectable candidate on a shaky platform. Trump, or at least his team, may have learned from the errors of 2020. The Democrats, through their errors, will elect a GOP government. Urban welfare recipients will keep it close, but they will lose. Regards, Bill | |||

If you had 2 neurons to rub together…you would have seen my intent. I feel for your clients as you have zero intuition or foresight. My comparison was going be with Putin and Rommel. Rommel was a Nazi, the enemy, and a ruthless adversary…yet he was a tactical genius and many US Generals recognized and acknowledged him as such. This is very similar to what Trump inferred by his comment on Putin. By no means did it infer that they were not adversaries. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.
