Free Republic

Well actually, he did a lot of things for the auto industry when he was President.

Like what?

Is it? Or is it a brilliant tactical pollical move to undercut your rivals' historical supporters?

If this were 2015 when voters were still trying to wrap their heads around what a Trump presidency would look like, I'd agree with you. But by now most voters, including union voters, have made up their minds whether they love or hate Trump. The ones who love him would vote for him even if he didn't visit their union and the ones who hate him are not going to change their minds after one visit.

Wake me when Trump is actually president again and has the power to intervene in this dispute. Until then, this is just another publicity stunt from another political candidate.

Putin is literally Stalin yada yada yada...

He's not literally Stalin, but he does support all the wrong people. Support for Putin is de facto support for BLM riots and Killary. No thanks.

Any support for Ukraine among Freepers should have disappeared once the pernicious conspiracy to topple the Trump administration was exposed in 2019

Any support for Russia I might have had disappeared when Putin colluded with Hillary to steal the 2016 election from Trump (which was later falsely attributed to Trump) and supported the BLM terrorists to weaken America from within.

I would have no problem if the Russians invade and occupy Alexander Vindman’s home country for a thousand years.

I would have no problem if Freepers set their standards for supporting foreign dictators a bit higher than "he says mean things about Biden and the gays from time to time".

Maybe you are right, we have tons of examples of black nations that were as successful as Europe and America, like.....um.....uhhhh.....hmmmm......

You mentioned in your original comment to me that it was the Nazis or LGBTQ propaganda, yet many African nations are ahead of us on banning gender transition surgeries. Cutting off children's breasts and balls is overwhelmingly a white people thing. Many of the immigrants you seem to fear so much have stronger family values than native-born Americans, black or white. The problem is when they come illegally and undercut wages.

You can have a country with Western European levels of economic development or you can have a country that takes a firm stance against the LGBTQ, but you can't have both it seems. You pick your poison and ride it out as best as you can.
Gender Transition Laws by Country

I don’t care about Israel one way or another, so okay.

Sorry you have a problem with nonwhite people. That sounds like a you problem, though. I have a problem with leftists, including those with lily white skin. I don’t have a problem with minorities if they support the Constitution.

IOW I judge people by the content of their character. You judge them by the color of their skin. That is the difference between us.

Ah yes because Europe is doing so amazing with all that LGBTQ proaganda being shoved in kids faces and all those rapists from the middle east and africa invading Europe, right? Right?

So it's either everything you mentioned or the Nazis? No middle ground is possible? Freedom-loving conservatives should show support for one of the most authoritarian regimes in recent history because at least the Nazis had the right skin color. Yep, that'll win us a ton of elections in 2024. /s

Look at Europe now and tell me the right side won with a straight face

If you think the Nazis were the "right side" don't let the door hit you on the way out. America may not be the right country for you.

Indeed, and by tarnishing DeSantis they are depriving Trump of a natural successor. We need to think not only about 2024 but also 2028 and beyond.

Nailed it, especially if it’s true what others on this thread are saying about his racism.

“...Queen of Italy, Margherita of Savoy...”

I always wondered where the name for margherita pizzas came from. I knew it couldn’t have anything to do with margaritas, the Mexican cocktail.

I don’t understand the WORSHIP some FReepers (of the globalist Neocon variety) have for the POMPOUS, PRESUMPTUOUS Zelensky.

And I don't understand the blind eye many Freepers turn to Putin's support of BLM and collusion with Hillary Clinton to throw the 2016 election, which was falsely attributed to Trump.

It’s a fair question, one I’d like to hear the answer to myself.

The odds that the 'informants' would draw a weapon were low. The officer that shot Ashley was not an informant.

I meant that if he was going to shoot anyone, how did he manage to hit one of the few genuine Trump supporters instead of all the Antifa and FBI informants there, not "Why did he (as opposed to the informants) shoot Ashli Babbitt?". English is a heckuva language.

Maybe it’s because I live in a blue state and have no choice but to deal with leftists, but I figured everyone knew how leftists think and act by now. Unless the comedian job is just a cover for something else, nothing Brand could say would shock me. I don’t know if I’m that jaded or if a lot of Freepers are living in red bubbles or both.

I second that idea. Sell your Apple and Tesla stocks while you still can and invest in gold, which will always be in demand regardless of labor or currency markets. I’m also looking into bitcoin, but haven’t made a decision yet.

Interesting, but I’m still not sure what bombshells he or any other comedian could be sitting on. I doubt he has any smoking guns on Hunter Biden, for instance. Generally when the Left targets people it’s because they know something damaging to the Left.

I agree with you that fat-shaming is a cheap way to feel superior to others. I have a friend who gained an incredible amount of weight just from the side effects of a medication she is taking. People who don’t know her think she’s a glutton when in reality she eats less than I do and I’m only “California fat” at 135 lbs. Pregnancy weight is also much harder to lose than the movies would have you think (or so I’m told). If I see an overweight stranger I don’t say anything because I don’t know her story.

I do make exceptions for those guys (and they are always guys) who fat-shame women while being overweight themselves. But there I am really shaming them more for their hypocrisy rather than for their weight. Plus the acronym for Hypocritical Overweight Gentlemen is just too tempting to resist.

This is political hit job. Brand has become too cozy with Tucker and starting to reveal some truths the political elite don’t want spoken.

What truths? I never heard of this guy before today.
