"that view rests on the assumption that Russia is a hostile regime"

Are you saying Russia is NOT a hostile regime?

NATO has never attacked anyone first.

NATO is clearly a defensive organization.

And Russia has proven it is hostile by attacking Ukraine killing thousands of innocents and creating a humanitarian disaster. And this isn't the first time.

What more proof do you need? How many more innocent civilians need to die this time to convince you?

"Oklahomans will not think very well of that if tribes try to set up abortion clinics," Stitt said, warning he is monitoring the situation.

That's fair.

And the native tribes probably still do not think very well of Oklahomans who stole their lands and stuck them in a reservation.

The tribes (and the rest of us apparently) are "monitoring the situation", too.

He's the only one that can stand up to putskin.

Trumpy is the only one who will lie and protect Pootin on the world stage.

Both are criminals. So I guess in your feeble kindergarten mind it takes one to know one?

But you are right about one thing. If Trumpy (capitalized) were to somehow get re-elected (shudder) then Pootin and his cronies would definitely cheer and dance and toast to their good fortune.

I won't be convinced until I see one myself. Sorry

Not trying to pick on you Laura's but ...

Do you "believe" in air? Do you "believe" in atoms? Do you "believe" in viruses?

You have to be able to see something to believe it exists? Not buying that. Is that your "religion" ... not to believe it unless you can see it?

It's not about faith. It's about the mounting evidence. And what it means. I saw the navy films and unless they were faked then there is something out there. And if they were faked then that's another story.

The truth is out there!

Laura can't believe that there is something flying in our skies that hasn't been identified yet!

Seriously?

You think that everything has been identified and explained? Every single phenomena has been figured out folks! Nothing left to study or explain!

We have come to the end of science! We know everything now. Those little tic tacs recorded were just figments of the navy pilot's and his camera's imagination! It's another dem hoax I tells ya!

Seriously?

Come on YOU get real!

Have you seen the navy films? So what was it that those pilots filmed Laura?

"We're now learning ... "

No. "We" are not. "We" are not learning anything.

Again the words of a madman have little meaning but "authoritarianism" of any kind sounds pretty much in line with current republican/Trumpy ideology to me.

And you easily can draw a straight line from the many "good people" marching with hate for The Other in Charlottesville and Tucker Carlson's rants on "replacement " to this explosion of hate in Buffalo.

he stated he was a leftwing authoritarian ...

The words of a madman mean nothing to me.

Interesting that you believe a word he said.

His actions speak louder than any rant by a madman.

It's epidemic of hate clearly fueled by Fox News and Tucker Carlson and a culture of guns and disinformation and lies.

Just because he claims to be a leftist or whatever he claims t he doesn't mean a thing compared to his actions.

"Blaming all Republicans or conservatives for this sort of crime is pointless."

But you can't blame people. We all built this!

For proof of that just imagine the faux rage and out cries from Republicans (andTucker) if it was a pot smoking liberal Biden supporter. Or even worse ... a Blackman out to shoot only whites.

"This story has nothing to do with gun control or Trump."

Everything affects everything. And Trumpy has obviously been instrumental in allowing simmering white supremacist hate to boil over and explode out into the open. Do you deny that? Probably. But that speaks volumes about you. Not the reality of the story.

And I bet Elon Musk is really happy to hear that once he owns Twitter he can be sued in Texas by unhappy random Twits who think they are being "censored" .

Re 8

yeah sure. That exactly what we want!

Not.

We want Manchin to act like a democrat and not a republican.

THAT is what we want. That is all we wanted.

Doesn't really matter now tho. The damage is already done.

Mission Accomplished!

The article keeps mentioning that people like Carlson are all for this movement, then states even though he doesn't come right out and say it.

By promoting the "great replacement" over and over Tucker is obviously promoting white supremacy. Without actually coming out and saying he supports white supremacy.

This is painfully obviously. To folks in Reality Land anyway.

By you denying this reality speaks volumes about you not the article.

Either you do not know what you are taking about or you are part of the problem. Or most likely it's both.

I live in Northern California. The house next to me just sold for around $600,000. A house up the hill just sold for ~$900,000.

Someone obviously has the money to buy these houses.

Seems most of them are "retired" too. A house that is two houses down sold and they tore it down and they are building a better house in its place. The owner is a retired engineer.

Like I have always said, if you can make it in California you can make it anywhere. But even with the high cost of living many choose to live here. And many choose to retire here.

There are reasons for that. If you have ever been here you would know exactly why. It's called the Lost Coast for a reason (google it). Sometimes I like to call it the "last coast".

Because apparently we have more important issues.

Like attacking Disney and putting those gays back into the closet. And don't forget taking back them women's rights. Gotta put those women in their place before we even think about keeping our elections fair and our representatives honest.

Republicans culture wars are way more important

Apparently

Just think of all the resources we saved for the survivors of the Purge!

Trumpy/Thanos 2024!!

So? Fake news!

They probably think Biden is the legitimate President too.

Most fundamentally: We were all operating in the same reality."

Yeah. Wouldn't that be nice?

Because mistakes were made we should definitely starve the brown babies. Because that will learn them to be born brown on the wrong side of the fence.

"Feeding the frenzy on both sides is stupid"

What is really stupid is your lack of historical knowledge and the resulting ignorant pro Putin analysis of the situation.

Putin won't use nukes. Doing so would put him in a far worse position than he is already in.
#44 | POSTED BY MADBOMBER

Even if you got that in writing from him it would mean nothing. It's possible Putin is ill and his next steps are not predictable based on previous actions.

Yup. Shoot back. So now we all have to carry guns and wear body armor to go pick up some bread and milk.

Thanks a lot. We sure made America "great" again. Like in old Wild West. Only worse.

"Censoring speech is not the answer."

So it's ok by you for someone to cry "fire!" in a crowded theater?

You obviously don't know the answer to anything.

Please don't breed.

Dear putinposer

10 or even 20% of 900 people do not and cannot possibly represent all Ukrainians. So please stop with the constant lying.

Repeating the same lie over and over does not make it true. So please. I am asking nicely.

Stop lying.

The Ukrainians are not the Nazis. Not any more than NASA is because we absorbed Nazi scientists into our country.

standing with Nazis?

Ugh.

#41 | POSTED BY EFFETEPOSER

Nice try but no ruble for you!

Get a grip

Americans are NOT standing with the Nazis. (Well maybe Trumpers are but they do not represent me or my America that's for sure).

But YOU are. Because Putin is the Nazi and represents Nazi type repression in this equation.

...

btw

The Azov battalion in 2017:

the size of the regiment was estimated at more than 2,500 members,[2] but was estimated to have 900 members in 2022.[24] Members of the battalion came from 22 countries and are of various backgrounds.

In March 2015, a spokesman for the Azov Batallion, told USA Today that only 10% to 20% of the group's members are Nazis.

(Wiki)
...

The Azov Battalion is not Ukraine and does not represent Ukraine any more than the thousands of white supremacists that condone dressing up in battle gear and shooting up grocery stores the serve mostly black communities represent America.

Seriously dude. Grow up. Stop lying.

I will believe it when I see it in November.

I am all for open borders, but Americans are first priority....

#49 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT

There is no such thing as "open borders" in America. Maybe you live in the EU and think America is the same? It's not.

Also if you wish to starve the "aliens" then you need to change the law and quit whining and crying like a little B.

Have you noticed yet?

All of the Republican/Trumpy arguments falter when they meet with reality.
