Putin may have wanted Trump as president...but that's immaterial. It's the voters who put him there.

That's pretty dumb, especially for a DoD guy. Election interference can take the form of manipulating the electorate and trying to tip the scales via the legitimate electoral process. Are you really going to deny that?

Why does it seem to be that so many people in the circle of fmr Pres Trump seem to have so many legal problems?

He demands as a client that his attorneys and agents commit, almost exclusively, unethical and terrible acts. It is axiomatic that this would only attract a circle of unethical, terrible people.

Depends on what those "sanctions" are and how much the "fees" are.

Whatever they end up being, you can bet that moronic Trumpers will gladly foot the bill.

It presents no danger to the public for him to lie

Which public are you talking about? I think the Ukrainian public might have a different view on the danger of spreading Russian propaganda.

88 so you are a mind reader?

No, ------. It doesn't take a "mind reader" to understand that EP is a bad faith shill. I'm not talking about banning borderline cases where there is any level of debatability as to the genuine nature of someone's opinions. For example, you just appear to be genuinely stupid, and should not be banned.

This is a political blog. It would be a shame if moderation is to be based on viewpoint.

To me the term "viewpoint" implies that it is genuinely held and expressed in good faith, and obvious Russian propaganda does not meet that relatively low bar.

Breastfeeding and the pumping that frequently goes along with it takes an incredible amount of time, which many working mothers simply don't have. Additionally, many mothers struggle to produce any milk at all, be it due to PPD or other unknown factors. So the mother using formula who you judge to be a lazy moron might have tried for weeks/months to breastfeed their kid and felt like absolute ---- for being unable to produce milk despite it being beyond their control.

This isn't the caveman days where a mother can sit around nursing all day long for months or years on end, or where we let babies go malnourished because their mothers cannot produce enough milk. Grow up.

It's definitely Biden's fault parents are too stupid to know what to feed their babies.

Just curious, are you saying all formula feeders are stupid? If so you probably need to learn a few things.

So to you, there is no policy imperative to populism? It's merely a rhetorical device?

My understanding of the term id that it refers to a genuinely held and acted on set of beliefs, not just some ---- you say to get elected, and that therefore using the term to describe Trump is unfairly generous to him.

Trump is a Populist too.

I don't want to get too bogged down in this, but Trump at most uses some populist rhetoric. He is not an actual populist from a policy perspective; he was a blatant tool of the select few rich in almost every way.

Difference of opinion really bothers you doesn't it?

No, i love that and miss the days when it was more prominent here. It's obvious shills, bots, and trolls I can't stand. You're an obvious ---- for Russia in some form; I just can't be bothered to care what precise category you fall into.

I've never seen a bigger failure of a moderation policy than #3 still being allowed to post here.

#11 If the GOP crosses Trump, they lose about 50% of their voters when he forms a new party and Republicans never win another election again. For that reason, they will never cross him, and they probably wish he were dead by now.

What do you consider incorrect?

I have the same question. But one of the only tactics Republicans have left is to get you bogged down in an argument over the meaning of a word, so my guess is he's going to say (1) they didnt technically repeat every tenet of great replacement theory verbatim from its wikipedia page; or (2) they are not "mainstream" under his convenient definition of the word.

A few thousand people in Wisconsin and Michigan have ------ this country into oblivion. The electoral college will be seen as the single most important contributor to the destruction of this country.

I remember when this site wasn't overrun with bad faith room temperature IQ -------.

I've been following this guy for a while now and honestly thought he had better working class appeal than any Democratic candidate for office i've seen in a long time, and even speculated he could do better than the Senate. I really hope he is ok and that his career is not tarnished by the event.

#22 Congratulations! One Ruble (0.015 USD) has been deposited into your heavily sanctioned bank account.

El Paso has a City Attorney's office with 23 full time lawyers working in it. Their failure to pursue this claim is an abdication of their duty to local taxpayers.

Rand Paul is a libertarian who believes the federal government shouldn't function.
So he's doing his best to prevent it from doing so.

If he were consistent in that effort i'd agree, but this seems far more like selective conservatism that is motivated by his being a Russian asset.

A white supremacist mass killing spree doesn't even make the front page here anymore, because this is the America we live in now.

Honestly if the Biden presidency ends without any movement on these big ticket items it will be regarded as one of the most failed presidencies in US history.

#97 The "we just need to elect a few more Democrats" argument loses a lot of credibility when you consider some of the Congressional majorities Obama had. He never codified Roe, never banned partisan gerrymandering, never did absolutely anything proactive to protect Americans against what is happening today.

At some point people get tired of hearing the same ---- election cycle after election cycle. They have the trifecta now, and are highly unlikely to ever have it again unless they start publicly bullying, privately bribing, literally whatever the ---- they have to do to stop the fascist idiocratic tide that's swelling in this country.

Thomas said during an event hosted by the American Enterprise Institute, the Manhattan Institute and the Hoover Institution in Dallas.

Too scared to say it directly to his wife?

One day we'll learn exactly how many tentacles putin has penetrated into the GOP.

Assuming past is prologue, Republicans will so successfully flood the zone with ----, and Dems will be so ineffective at hammering the point home, and the media will bothsides it so hard, that the vast majority of the public won't understand it when it does come out.
