    Trump is owned by Russia.

    It really is just that simple - Putin and his oligarch cronies have bought and paid for him.

      “And this is what he said. He said, ‘Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.’ I said, ‘Really?’ And he said, ‘Oh, yeah. We’ve got some guys that really, really love golf, and they’re really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time.’”

      Eric is denying now that he ever said that.

        wasn’t it a story back in the 90s that Trump let Russia put audio bugs in its golf carts and they were able to gather kompromat on many powerful people?

    Mind-boggling that so-called “patriots” would vote for this Putin bootlicker

      Nah. They’ve always been dumber than dogshit. They’re just doing what their daddy tells them to do, as ever. Reagan could have told them to be gay and they’d scramble to smoke dicks.

    Can we be not retarded dumb enough to avoid electing a convicted felon to the presidency?

      They really only like him because he’s normalizing being publicly racist. None of his followers can list any of his “accomplishments” when he was president.

        My brother has a lot of dumb redneck friends. The racist thing and whatever else Fox spews out is all they care about. Hell, only a few of them listen to Fox news and the ones that don’t just listen to whatever the person who watches it says. They’re so fucking stupid that I feel the embarrassment they should feel whenever I’m in ear shot of their bullshit.

      Felon-title is trumping (no pun indented, maybe a little) the President-title.

      What can we (the rest of the world) expect? The worst, as we all have a stake here, unfortunately.

        I agree, but I wonder why “dumb”, which refers to a person who can’t speak, never got the same treatment?

        Very well. The specific word is not significant to my comment and was not intended to refer to a specific class of people, so it has been changed.

      You’ve got a lot to learn about the world’s perception of the US and more importantly Americans

    I will not be voting for any person who does not support Ukraine, even if it means straying from my normal political views.

      Via an EM accelerated sled. No parachute or guidance systems though - just an 80 year old seatbelt. Thoughts and prayers though.

      Reagan is the reason why there’s such a huge wealth gap and practically no more middle class. Fuck him.

      If Reagan’s teleprompter had told him to trust Russians, he would have trusted Russians. This was a guy who cut a deal with Iran - the country holding a bunch of US citizens hostage - to not release those hostages until after his inauguration.

    This is yet another reason to vote for Joe Biden.

    On a side note, to the Ukrainians, you might notice we do not mention the war or talk about it (including myself), but I am here to let you know that it warms my heart that you guys are fighting and I will contribute to keep the aid going. It might not be obvious, but we Americans still support you.

      Sorry, we are too busy covering up MLK and RFK assassinations and other slightly left wing folks to busy ourselves with this

      Maybe ask the kkk? Oh right, they’re in our back pocket so that’s a non starter. Hmmm, I wish we could help

      Edit: sorry for bad recommendation fairly certain kkk supports Trump but kkk is still in our back pocket. No, correction: pants suit, right hand pocket

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday blasted the scale of U.S. support for Ukraine and said that if he is reelected in November he would immediately “have that settled.”

    At a campaign rally in Detroit, Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, calling him “the greatest salesman of all time” for Kyiv’s push to secure U.S. support in its effort to defend Ukraine against Russian aggression more than three years after Moscow’s all-out invasion.

    “I will have that settled prior to taking the White House as president-elect,” said Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee in the U.S. election.

    Ukraine’s Western allies have been working to secure long-term assistance for Kyiv amid fears that Trump’s potential reelection could curtail U.S. support.

    And NATO countries last week moved forward with a plan for the alliance to take over from the U.S. in coordinating military aid to Ukraine, a shift widely perceived as an effort to “Trump-proof” the Ukraine Defense Contact Group.

    U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday announced a $1.5 billion aid package for Ukraine, focused primarily on the energy sector and humanitarian assistance.
