Oops... He could still tell Putin to take over Ukraine immediately. He’s talking about the aid/money. ,”he announces he needs another $60 billion. It never ends. It never ends. I will have that settled prior to taking the White House as president-elect.” |

Putin (and the rest of the world) knows that if Trump wins, he will allow Putin to take over Ukraine. And maybe, without our support, Ukraine will stop fighting. |

Seems pretty clear no choiceChristopher Webb @cwebbonline
I attended the Biden event in Los Angeles last night. Fantastic, but it made me think about a few things.
I’ve been around a minute. Lived through several Presidential races. I remember not being excited about the candidates, but I have never in my life fixed my lips to say, I’m not voting because of it. Neither did my grandparents who survived Jim Crow and were not always welcomed at the polls.
I don’t understand folks who are saying that today.
Your top issue isn’t being talked about enough or going the way you think it should? Let’s survive now and live to fight another day. But first, look beyond what you’re seeing covered by the media, because Biden is not getting the same coverage that Trump is getting. And much of that coverage is skewed. It’s likely your issue is being worked on and you have been heard — so look deeper!
We don’t have to invite the candidates over for tea and crumpets, but staying home when we have the Supreme Court that we have, is short-sided and a disservice to those of us who see Trump as the number one danger that he is promising to be.
NO CHOICE — IS A CHOICE FOR TRUMP!!!

The convicted felon will “allow” Putin to take over Ukraine. Really. The majority of NATO and non NATO countries believe that if Putin isn’t stopped in Ukraine he will invade other countries. Some believe he has already picked his next target if he succeeds in Ukraine. It’s Poland based on what he said in that interview with Tucker Carlson. A NATO country. And do you seriously think Ukraine will quit fighting its invaders and other NATO countries will quit sending weapons to Ukraine just because this country is stupid enough to elect the idiot president do you? He will certainly complicate things but he will not be in any position to “allow” Putin to have Ukraine. It’s in the best interests of these countries to stop Putin in Ukraine with or without help from this country. |

Trump has repeatedly said he would negotiate an agreement between Russia and the Ukraine within 24 hours of his election, but he hasn't given specifics. Some of what he's saying is just his narcissism and blustering, but it does show what he might do if re-elected. If Trump is re-elected, he won't send a dime to Ukraine. The lack of funding will probably doom Ukraine to defeat. Trump probably thinks he can negotiate a peace agreement favorable to him and favorable to Putin. He would probably force Ukraine to give up territory. Ukraine might not be in a position to fight back if Trump is re-elected and stops sending money. As of February, the US contributions to Ukraine were significantly more than European countries ($46 billion vs $7 billion from the UK). The Europeans might step up and increase their funding, but it will take time for them to ramp up production of ammunition. Of course, Trump is unpredictable, so it's hard to say with any certainly what he would actually do. We do know that he will favor Russia in the war against Ukraine, most likely will stop funding and possibly negotiate an agreement favorable to Russia, forcing Ukraine to give up territory www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/05/trump-ukraine-secret-plan/Trump’s proposal consists of pushing Ukraine to cede Crimea and the Donbas border region to Russia, according to people who discussed it with Trump or his advisers and spoke on the condition of anonymity because those conversations were confidential. In many ways, Trump’s plan is in line with his approach as president. His preference for splashy summits over policy details, confidence in his own negotiating skills and impatience with conventional diplomatic protocols were all hallmarks of how he approached foreign affairs in his first term.

The only acceptable outcome in Ukraine is Putin is kicked out of the country. All of the country. By the way, did you know President Biden and President Zelenskyy signed some sort of Security Agreement when they met last week? Have no idea what’s in it . |

I was only trying to point out that it’s not the first time Trump said he could end the war in Ukraine.
I don’t agree with what Trump might do. You asked why he thought he could do anything as a president elect and I tried to explain from his perspective.
Regardless, it seems like your question was mostly rhetorical and you’re not actually interested in a discussion. Carry on

You asked why he thought he could do anything as a president elect and I tried to explain from his perspective. Regardless, it seems like your question was mostly rhetorical and you’re not actually interested in a discussion. Carry on Here is the quote and the bolded part prompted the question. The key phrase is “President-elect” ”Trump attacks Zelenskyy: "He's the greatest salesman of all time ... he announces he needs another $60 billion. It never ends. It never ends. I will have that settled prior to taking the White House as president-elect. It's gotta stop." Only a dimwit doesn’t understand that if trump is elected he will screw Ukraine royally. But he really can’t do much until he takes office. But here we have him blabbing about the aid for Ukraine and saying “I will have that settled prior to taking the White House as president-elect”. Is he saying he can stop the aid for Ukraine as president-elect and even before he takes office? And now that I think about it is he saying he can stop the aid before the election? That is what prompted the question. |

By the way. I’m no longer going to label my political threads “politics “. It was a ridiculous reason to do it in the first place and @merge is right in that it’s time to stop.
I know people will label them and I will continue to unlabeled them.

It seems trump was the one to ban bump so the question becomes will the Republicans in the Senate vote to restore it? Kyle Griffin… “Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says Senate Democrats will try to force a vote on a bump stocks ban in response to the Supreme Court ruling. "I have the ability to allow a unanimous consent vote, and we'll see just what Republican MAGAs do." "They have two choices. They can cower to MAGA, these right wing Republicans in the Senate, or they can protect the American people." x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1802712842933604590?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

The right is fond of showing videos of President Biden seemingly looking confused where to go next. Even known to “doctor” a video to push their chosen narrative like the one where he seems to be looking off in the distance until a woman tapped him on the back when in fact he was talking to a parachuter that was not in the frame. The Lincoln Project did a nice montage of a confused convicted felon. Turn about fair play! x.com/projectlincoln/status/1802758441653719200?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

Kyle Griffin…
“,In an interview with Mediaite, ex-Trump Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin confirms Bill Barr's story that Trump threatened, at different times during his presidency, to execute his own staff and Americans.
"How do you rationalize that is a person fit in sound judgment to be president of the United States?"
Love this response.
“And yet Bill Barr is still voting for him...tells you all you need to know about Barr.”
It kind of proves what I have said about a chunk of voters who regularly vote for Republicans. It’s they don’t care what the candidate has done, if they have an “R” after their name they will vote for them. Even if they are a convicted felon.

Seriously?
From the Business Insider…
“China's Xi accused the US of trying to trick him into invading Taiwan, but said he won't take the bait, report says”
Thibault Spirlet Jun 17, 2024, 8:01 AM PDT
* Chinese leader Xi Jinping reviewing the honor guard at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing
* Xi Jinping accused the US of trying to trick China into invading Taiwan, the Financial Times said.
* The Chinese leader made the claim to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, per the FT.
* One expert told BI it's a sign that China is "genuinely surprised" by the attitude of US officials.

It appears these guys lied about a lot of things to get confirmed. Remember how many on the right said Roe = Wade was settled law.. Citizens for Ethics….. ”NEW: During Justice Alito’s confirmation hearing, he said he'd abide by higher ethics standards than the law required, presented himself as an impartial judge with no ideological agenda and said the president is NOT above the law. We have the receipts:” x.com/crewcrew/status/1802771449452925091?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

Of course, Trump is unpredictable, so it's hard to say with any certainly what he would actually do. I'm guessing he'll continue to play Chester to Putin's Spike. Recall the Warner Bros. cartoon dog that bounced around Spike, the bulldog, panting and being a complete sycophant, "Wanna play now, Spike? Did I do good, Spike?"  |

Let me get this straight. The President was listening to music at an event and didn’t dance so that is a heath issue. Seriously? Acyn… ”KJP: Ok, let’s talk about Juneteenth. The President was there listening to the music and he didn’t dance. Excuse me, I did not know not dancing was a health issue” x.com/acyn/status/1802781066811633859?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

You might want to try visiting the National Institute of Health website and read about the effects of birth control on the female brain. As with most things it appears to be an ongoing study but it does make you want to pause and think. |

So is this going to be their “reason” for banning them. I know women that don’t like chemical birth control but other forms aren’t preferred and I know the church would like to stop IUDs. |

As with most things it appears to be an ongoing study but it does make you want to pause and think. In my experience pregnancy and kids have a stronger negative effect on the brain. My birth control keeps me sane. I don't need it for birth control. Let's study that. |
