We need to help stop Putin's aggression now against Ukraine... and Georgia, Finland, Poland and assorted other neighbors.

Better to fight that war Over There than over here, just like last time.... you know, when the Original America Firsters were shouting Heil Hitler by the thousands in Madison Sq Garden.

Next year Trump will be wrapping all those countries up in a bow for his boyfriend the Bald Dwarf.

You voted for the guy who added trillions to the debt, mostly in tax cuts for himself and his friends.

It's basically giving $2.3 Billion to US defense contractors. Good for jobs. Increases GDP.

fmr Pres Trump has said that if he is reelected, he would extend his tax cuts for the wealthy.

That's trillions added to the debt.

A democracy attacked by a mass murdering criminal asks for help. If Trump gets back in, that help most likely will be stopped, and Putin, the mass murderer, will be on his way to dominating Europe.

I am not confident "Trumpy" can fix this. What I do know is that the status quo ain't working. An endless spigot of OUR taxpayer dollars to a country that isn't even part of NATO. No real end-game, just status quo.

" No real end-game, just status quo."

So ... Decimating a world rival for pennies on the dollar, in their backyard, with European help and Ukrainian soldiers is somehow BAD?!?

I guess partisan hacks gotta hack.
