For all those wonderful, warm supporters of Agent Orange down in Mar-A-Lago who were so quick to brand me as a communist whenever I dared to criticize any treasonous actions by the former guy, I offer this in rebuttal: https://news.yahoo.com/trump-praises-putins-genius-incursion-into-ukraine-234001858.html
And this: https://news.yahoo.com/while-donald-trump-praises-vladimir-140025863.html
I’ve got plenty: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/23/trump-putin-genius-russia-ukraine-crisis
You get the idea. Your hero has once again proven himself to be Putin’s lackey that we all knew he was. Well, “we” being a relative term. Some, about 40 percent of Americans, refused to believe such a thing.
Never mind that the Republican Party was supposed to be the conservative, anti-communist bulwark of American politics and those Hillary-loving Democrats were the ones who were giving the country away to the commies.
For the record, I have never been affiliated with nor sympathetic to communism but I do know the difference between capitalism, socialism, and communism. The fact that I support programs that benefit people doesn’t attach any label to me other than perhaps humanitarian and to that, I plead guilty.
But an inconvenient statistic for those who think the Repugnantcan Party is the answer to all our woes can be found in a recent WALLETHUB survey. The reddest states, those with the most avid supporters of the former guy, are the states most beholden to Washington.
New Mexico is the state that is most dependent upon the federal government and it is a blue state. The next nine are all red states. That’s correct: the reddest states, those with the most avid supporters of the former guy, are the states most beholden to Washington. Kinda hard to square that up with the drain the swamp philosophy when you are the swamp, isn’t it?
Here are the states, in order, most dependent on the Washington teat, in order:
Alaska, fourth-highest in both state government and state residents’ dependency;
Mississippi, third-highest in government and seventh-highest in residents’ dependency;
Kentucky, eighth-highest in government and fifth-highest in resident’s dependency (where y’at, Mitch and Rand Paul?)
West Virginia, 12th-highest in government and second-highest in residents’ dependency;
Montana, 14th-highest in government and second-highest in residents’ dependency;
Arizona, 10th-highest in government and seventh-highest in residents’ dependency;
Indiana, eighth-highest in government and 11th-highest in residents’ dependency;
South Carolina, 17th-highest in government and 6th-highest in residents’ dependency (hello, Lindsey Graham);
Louisiana, the highest in government and 24t- lowest in residents’ dependency (any comment, John Kennedy?)
Oh, and just in case you need more evidence that the red states seem to be the ones needing the most federal help, here’s a look at state economic RANKINGS which show Louisiana firmly entrenched near the bottom (49th).
But of course, I digress from my MAIN POINT and that is the crickets emanating from the corner over there where the former guy’s supporters usually congregate to throw stones at and otherwise troll this site.
But then, they’ve been relatively quiet for some time now.
I don’t imagine he’ll ever forgive Zelensky for not falling in line with his political wishes. No surprise here… and honestly, it’s been nice not hearing from the peanut gallery, lol.
1. I sincerely hope that only 30-33% of the population actually supports Dolt45. The remainder (including Senator Kornpone and other powerful and/or wealthy people) who pretend to support him only do so for the purely selfish benefits they derive from his relevancy.
2. It was totally predictable that Dolt45 would make the statements he has made and that the 30-33% in his loyal base would be fine with it. He, himself, pointed out that he could publicly kill somebody for no real reason and his supporters would still love him.
3. History proves that a significant number of humans learn absolutely nothing from history – else it would not be repeated on a regular basis. Of course, it goes without saying that ignoring history makes it even easier to not worry about it.
4. That anybody would not find Dolt45 reprehensible and beneath contempt is a complete mystery to me.
5. The trolls, if they come on here, will simply use their patented technique, misdirection, in answering to this post along with ad hominem attacks.
6. 30-33% of our population will have to come face-to-face with reality one day and they aren’t going to like it.
I am thinking we need to define “treason!” It seems that Americans, while claiming to be ever so patriotic, don’t seem to want to effectively deal with treason in this form as done by a “Former Loser President” committing said act.
And now the war has started. Will anybody reading this be surprised if the former U. S. President publicly applauds the actual attack? Will a third of the country wake up or will they continue some delusional mindset that makes that, like everything about him, okay?
I think we are witnessing the effects of media brainwashing in real time. I am constantly amazed that so many Trumpers simply cannot process the actual truth…no matter how firm the evidence is. This is an real American nightmare that none of us seem to be able to wake up from….and, I don’t see a solution unless FOX, etc. would suddenly start broadcasting the truth…!
It frightens me to think it may actually go the other way, i. e., that Fox, et al, in the interests of commercial success, pander to what the polls tell them their viewers want to see. That, to me, is much more troubling than the thought they are brainwashing their viewers. It seems at least a third of our fellow citizens see things through such a finely meshed filter that only “information” consistent with their preconceptions makes it through. If that is the case, there is truly no way to reach them.
Well sadly we see that for many, apparently white nationalism trumps everything – common sense, common decency, Christian values, fiscal responsibility, and now even long-held anti-fascist/communist values.
And to think this complete breakdown of supposed conservative values was led by a deranged career criminal lunatic con man from Manhattan with a golden toilet. I actually kind of hope that eventually some intelligence-degrading neurotoxin in the air or water is discovered to be more prevalent in red areas, so at least these people have some sort of excuse for their madness.
You’re an idiot. Mark this down as one of the things you will need to retract in the future.
…because so many of your past predictions have worked out for you? I was wondering how long it would take for batshit crazy to show up.
