Remarks by former president and presumptive 2024 Republican White House nominee would be ‘music’ to Putin’s ear, critic says
So he would trigger an article 5 incident to apease his ego? I hope one of is multiple cases gets him locked up. And I don't care where, as long as it means he isn't in office.
It’s worse and more specific than that. He’s basically saying “Russia is welcome to trigger an Article 5 incident, because I won’t respond to it”.
Why do I have a feeling that Putin told him to say that. It's just too convenient for Trump to say that after that Tucker interview.
Like, am I imagining things? It's pretty clear they have communication, right?
Oh no, they've been communicating since before 2016. Just look at the changes to party platform for the GOP that year regarding funding to Ukraine. The new policies, which came directly from Trumps people, reversed course on Ukraine and basically adopted pro-Kremlin positions. And it was out of left field...on alot of policy positions, they didn't comment on shit or even have fully developed positions....but on Ukraine they have a very strong and very pro-Kremlin stance.
Absolutely. For anyone who's not familiar with Seth Abramson, he's written three enormous books sourced from major news media piecing all of it together in excruciating detail. Here's an interview about one of them for some flava.
TL;DR Donald Trump is 100% colluding with russia and has been for well over a decade. There's not a question about it. It's a tower of concrete facts.

"If I were president I'd encourage Russia to start a world war by telling them to attack a country in a very large military alliance that we're part of"
Just when you think the MAGAzis and their sprayed clown couldn't get any dumber, here comes a public statement.
He is desperate to stay in the headlines recently, wonder what (specifically )he's trying to hide this time?
Well. At this point it feels like I'm just watching it happen. I can vote against fascism, but what the fuck else can I do?
We have to learn from Germany's mistakes: armed resistance is legitimate in the face of fascism.
There are soo many rabidly anti 2a liberals who don’t understand this. The cognitive dissonance when you point out that they are setting aside a key right and putting their faith in police and other authorities to fight fascism when they currently can’t be relied upon to NOT routinely discriminate and persecute leftists and minorities in a normal political climate.
Feel free to put your trust and safety in State and Federal police agencies if Trump is elected. I’m sure it will work out well.
It's this not the kind of scenario the founding fathers foresaw when drafting the second amendment?
“No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”

Yeah but he was also a decidedly competent leader for most of that time. Trump wouldn’t be. He’d just try to cement himself as a dictator.
Actually, that guy died DURING the world war. The last guy to be president during a world war was only elected once..
Dying while in office would be the best case for him, since he'd have immunity while in office. Otherwise he'll die in prison.
Him dying in prison penniless without ever taking office again would of course be ideal for the rest of the world though, or at least the parts that are worth anything..
Every now and then trump says something where I think surely that had to have been taken at least slightly out of context, but nope, it's practically verbatim. Every single time.
Again, The Guardian is to blame for some of this but seriously, how many more years does anyone need?
quick reminder that only a single NATO member has called for help of their allies with article 5 so far
"No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”
This is a level of hypocrisy... I just cannot
for fucks sake even the dumbest plot in any call of duty was more intelligent than everything this stupid republican wants to happen...
Americans really need to bash their elected representatives to invest in public schools and free/affordable higher education. This muppet already happened, but maybe it's not too late to save the upcoming generations from another one.
I have little to no doubt that Trump will win the second term. And as a Ukrainian am horrified by the prospect.
I recently learned that succeeded is a bit of a stretch. He gained control through essentially an armed insurrection.
“No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”
Not exactly the Christian way. Yet, evangelicals apparently just love a president who will throw their friends under the bus.
As someone currently on trial for fraud you'd think he'd not be framing himself as the person in the wrong.
And the stupidest thing is, he could have extorted billions from Putin on Inauguration Day.
"Drop any pictures you want, Vlad. I got the CIA in my pocket, and they'll prove it's fake news. Now wire the money, or Ukraine is getting a dozen nuclear submarines tomorrow."
