Actually Russia is a good scapegoat for Democrats and people like McCain.

They have been using Russia to get away with all the rotten things that they are actually behind.

I mean, after all, who would believe the Russians? /s

Yes, I’m impressed with his understanding of our dynamics. I admit I don’t know as much about Russian politics. But, we are the top dog, particularly with Trump, they should know about us.

If Putin ran for office here, I’d support him over any Democrat.

Same here. During the last election I'd been saying that I wished Putin (or someone like him) would run for POTUS.

Damaging America was job one for Obama. Without a term limit, he would’ve done for the United States what Hitler did for Germany.

I agree those you named were as close to garbage as I want to get but all of the Democrat Party is Evil and worse than garbage. The only Democrat with any guts to stand up is Manchin and he is scared to death when facing his party.

There’s a big difference between being adversaries and being enemies. Adversaries can work together on shared interests, enemies want to annihilate one another. Neither Putin nor any other leader can be blamed for putting his nation’s interests first - that’s what leaders are supposed to do. Sometimes those interests will align with America’s, sometimes they won’t. Both Trump and Putin understand this Realpolitik - liberals and neoconservatives who want a utopian, globalist New World Order do not.

What does that mean in regards to the question?

I fear this bloodless coup will either tie up or remove Trump. These leftist scum need to be addressed and now.

If they're successful, this will be the Uniparty-Media Complex telling us Trump peasants that we can vote all we want - but they can negate our vote at will.

Second Amendment would come in handy at that point, but I am supremely confident that our president (meaning We the People) will continue to get stuff done in office through January 2025, effectively getting 80% of his agenda done (which ain't bad).

Very well said. We were speaking about term limits last night and the effect of 4 two year terms as max for congressmen; amend senate to 4y terms and limit to two as well. All have max. of 8 years. All senators vote same time as president.
Only midterms would be house members, and no more senate 50 vote tricks. Consider cutting lifetime app’ts for SC.

Also spoke about returning mandatory draft for two years. Punks are learning nothing from parents or teachers. Military would help some with discipline, respect and maybe even job skills.

SJ, I like those reforms.

Add one more: Repeal the 17th Amendment to kill off the Senate being a populist house; returning membership to the several State Capitols.

I watched all fours hours of the interviews... despite my distaste for Stone. It was pretty interesting for sure.

Despite Stone's attempts to paint GWB in a bad light and to then gloss over the Obama years, it was clear that Putin hates Obama, Obama (and McCain and others) did some bad stuff in Ukraine and Obama and company did some serious interfering in Russia's 2012 elections.

Now the left is all ticked off with Stone for these interviews because they didn't turn out that way they had hoped.

Putin is correct. Obama administration left a minefield for Trump.

As to whether Putin meddled: I doubt it. Meddling is actively doing something to change an outcome. Russian intelligence agencies, and all intelligence agencies wiorldwide, usually dare not meddle. They usually only intercept (listen in to) political communications to prevent being surprised.

Just for your information words like "meddle" and "hack" are all over the newspapers. Those words have very specific meaning. Most writers do not know the meaning of the words they toss out. Yes, they do not know what they are talking about. That is usually the case.

At the Left’s heart is Nihilism pure and simple.

The shooting was no “aberration”.

What it was was a wish fulfilment of the Democratmedia and just an extension of the campaign of violence waged for over a year against Trump and his supporters.

Don’t forget that dozens of his rallies were attacked and hundreds injured by these terrorists.

In Chicago shots were reportedly fired after the Uber-RAT Mayor forced the police to stand down and let the attacks continued even in the face of certain police injuries. Police were forced to not wear Riot Gear and they were plenty pissed about it.

The Free Republic Anti-Putinistas will soon be here and say Putin is lying and all of those saying otherwise are sick pigs...

More BS from the Defeated.

There is an enormous difference between the parties. Every Republican is better than the best Democrat by a long shot, even a senile McCain. This is not even disputable. So can the crap.

Manchin’s merit is a myth. He is a complete Democrat.
