democrats are a mess. A tawdry, discombobulated mess. They are flailing about trying to find something they can stick to Trump, but nothing is.
The Epstein files
No one really cares about this anymore, but that's not stopping the democrats. Two different judges have refused to allow the release of the files (one was an Obama-appointed judge) but they persist in asking for something that is not allowed, and they know it.
Kristi Noem
democrats are seeking to get Kristi Noem killed. They have twice doxxed her home address and then wonder why she's staying in quarters normally occupied by an Admiral of the Coast Guard.
Krassenstein
This was a beauty. The always execrable Brian Krassenstein suggested that Vladimir Putin be assassinated while on US soil in Alaska.
The NY TImes
The NY Times was pushing treason
And when you cannot compete in the arena of ideas, you want to tear the country apart
Trump made it clear that no deal would be expected out of the summit, but that doesn't deter the lesser lights of the NY Times from siding with Putin
And OMG! Trump shook hands with Putin!!!
#Trump applauds #russian war criminal #putin and shakes his hand ! on a red carpet ! A warm welcome to the aggressor who is waging a genocidal aggression in Europe to restore his empire! Could there be anything worse?! pic.twitter.com/4p1eL29D3r

Yeah, about that
Exactly when did Putin reach the status of genocidal aggressor? Did it happen since Trump was recently elected? democrats want you to think so. The truth is something very different. Let's review the history and I've written about it here more than once. Where was the real weakness?
Obama.
The origin sin is his. First, Obama took down the missile shield in Poland in 2009 to appease Putin. Then in the 2012 Presidential debate Mitt Romney argued that Russia was our #1 geopolitical foe. Obama immediately scolded him, saying "The cold war is over" and "The 80's called, they want their foreign policy back." Following that, Obama told Medvedev that he (Obama) would have "more flexibility" for Putin. Then, after overthrowing the 2014 Ukrainian election, Obama sat back and did nothing while Putin annexed Crimea. Obama sent blankets to Ukraine. Trump sent Javelins. While Trump was President nothing more happened. When Biden took office, he said that he wouldn't mind a "minor incursion" by Russia into Ukraine. The final straw was in December of 2021 when Biden all but guaranteed NATO membership for Ukraine and two months later Putin invaded.

At least I now know where the Zeepers are getting some of their material from.
If no one cares, release all the Epstein files now!
Release all of them now!
May it be!
May it be so!
There was a poster on a while back pushing the assassination thing.
I thought DU people were not allowed on here.
The only good I can see is that at least he posts enough so that it’s not clickbait on top of blog pimping.
I am strongly in favor of Russian victory, because I am strongly in favor of spheres of influence.
Mexico is in ours. Ukraine is in Russia’s.
I’m sure they disguise themselves.
I agree with that. I see the EU as a global problem for many reasons. I do not see Russia as a global problem for any reason. Ukraine is within the Russian sphere and I don’t see why the US should be involved. European wars have not been good for the US (unless we see ourselves as a global empire which can seize vast power in the aftermath of a European war. That’s not how I want to see the US.)
Mexico is in ours. Ukraine is in Russia’s.
Cuba in ours.
If you give nations to Russia to rule over against us, then what is China’s, and Iran’s, and North Korea’s
Given it is a blog, the aim seems very clearly to attract traffic, first, and engage with other Freepers almost never. On this thread, for example one can wait to see Starman417's participation is his own thread. Tick tock.
I agree with you on all these points. Self serving promoters.
Maybe we could swap with the Russians!

They definitely seem to receive their instructions from the same sources.
I noticed several leftist media talking heads intoning “Trump got rolled by Putin” shortly after the talks in Anchorage ended.
Then, several zeepers squawked the same thing, word for word.
I pointed that out to some zeeper who posted that yesterday and got a bunch of predictable canned zeeper yipyap in response. 😂
"That’s the kind of argument that my guest today, Osita Nwanevu, makes in his new book, “The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding.” Nwanevu is a contributing editor at The New Republic and the Democratic Institutions fellow at the Roosevelt Institute."
