Then where is the UK, France, and China in aiding the Ukraine? Have they stepped up? Have they supplied aid and/or admonished Russia in any capacity?
That's kinda the point. Why should Ukraine take a hose job now, from the same people who screwed them before, just to "save lives", with little respect to those who already lost theirs. It really sounds more like a conditional surrender. If they balk at this, I would be fine with it. Russia has to pay a MUCH bigger price, and I don't think trump's the guy who's gonna pressure them that hard. In fact, the pal talk is kind of aggravating. We really weren't "pals" at all, and trumpty's history is faulty. Most people agree the Cold War started in 1945.

Who would say something so idiotic and why? This is an argument you are making in favor of yourself? That’s effing absurd. I’m genuinely sorry that you hit submit reply on this.
Oh, so that's the "PREVIOUS" two???🤣 btw, I made one random so you'd realize some things aren't worth bringing up if it makes zero impact on the point. I edited this, because I know you'd never figure that out, and I'd have to explain this after 10 more silly posts about it.

That wasn't even funny. Not even as good as lets go Brandon, which was pretty bad.

What else happened during that time period? They lowered the fed rates. You'll never guess what trump said today? Something about Rock and Roll? 🤣

It was about your words. They were wrong. When dunking, it’s critical that one have their sh*t together. You failed miserably.
Who were the last 2 Bills QB's? Some would say Allen and Tyrod. Others might say Tyrod and Rob Johnson. When claiming someone fails miserably, it's important to have your shizz together, and not look silly. I use maggat all the time, and my dunks come from the info, not the cuteness.

Oh look, a rino that understands aggression like an actual conservative republican should. You want some of Ukrane Vlad? How bout some of Deez nuts instead. get em Mike:
Speaking on X about Trump's comments on how Ukraine "may be Russia some day," his former vice president said: "If Ukraine falls, it will only be a matter of time until Russia invades a NATO ally our troops will be required to defend."

Good heavens. The last 16 sessions, by any use of the language, include 8 during the Obama era, 4 during Agent Orange 1.0, and 4 during the tenure of the “spry for his age” President Brandon. The esteemed speaker for two years during each of those era’s was Aunt Nan, the wine lover from SF.
So this was all about counting the current session? LOL Go do some dishes or something.

"What are the Democrats afraid of!!!" Ro Khanna was on with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business saying he wants Elon in the defense budget, where the real waste is. He also made sure people understood that all they wanted was for trump to work through Congress, with an up and down vote.

You said that democrats only controlled (read carefully now) 4 of the last 16 sessions. That is the opposite of factual.
How so?? Will you get on with it already. Better yet, does what you're trying to do change the point I was trying to make?

Your original statement was not factual, it was wrong. You have a habit of making wrong statements and then twisting yourself into knots to make it look like you were right. Think “a movement of 1 million American nazis” or your disastrous takes on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The one thing you will not do, is own up to it when you vomit inaccurate information.
What was not factual about my statement? Do you have a concept of a plan of explaining what's wrong with it? ...and quit trying to fall back on something that you were also wrong about as evidence of anything. You don't know a single thing about fascism in the 30-40's in America. Lastly, while playing gotcha might be quaint and cute with some posters here, it don't do it for me. Grow up.

It's only been 3 weeks doesn't fly with this. Businesses and the stock market operate by the future. trumps track record started in early November. We're 3 months in folks. Is the concept of a plan still cheap oil and that's it? Anyone else heard any other concepts of plans? Didn't Biden have a lot of oil? Then why did we have inflation? Good thing plastic straws are cheaper than paper ones.

What other countries might they have said the same thing about?
Here's what I found for the rest of it:
The truth
We had a feeling that folks repeating the claim missed important context from Nuland’s speech. Wasn’t Nuland talking about money given since Ukraine broke away from the Soviet Union?
The State Department said yes.
"The insinuation that the United States incited the people of Ukraine to riot or rebel is patently false," said Nicole Thompson, a State Department spokeswoman.
Since 1992, the government has spent about $5.1 billion to support democracy-building programs in Ukraine, Thompson said, with money flowing mostly from the Department of State via U.S. Agency for International Development, as well as the departments of Defense, Energy, Agriculture and others. The United States does this with hundreds of other countries.
About $2.4 billion went to programs promoting peace and security, which could include military assistance, border security, human trafficking issues, international narcotics abatement and law enforcement interdiction, Thompson said. More money went to categories with the objectives of "governing justly and democratically" ($800 million), "investing in people" ($400 million), economic growth ($1.1 billion), and humanitarian assistance ($300 million).
The descriptions are a bit vague, which could lead people to think the money was used for some clandestine purpose.
But even if it that were so, the money in question was spent over more than 20 years. Yanukovych was elected in 2010. So any connection between the protests and the $5 billion is inaccurate.
And Obama was elected in 2008, so any connection between $5 billion and Obama also is inaccurate.

It’s not accurate or factual. You stated that democrats have had control for only 4 of the last 16 sessions. That’s inaccurate and fact-free and you were trying to dunk on “maggats” with it. Very weak.
The premise wasn’t good. It sucked. You are whining that people are picking on “fraud/waste/corruption from democrats” as you phrased it. You’re wrong. It’s not fraud/waste/corruption from democrats. It’s from government entities in general. How is that difficult to comprehend? It just so happens that it’s democrats that are showing themselves to be very upset about it all. Very unusual. They must have a reason.
You are under the impression that because people generally hate democrats right now that they support republicans and past republican malfeasance. You couldn’t be more off the mark.
I don't know if you're butthurt over maggats, or just don't like how I post, but the mature thing to do when you see a mistake, is bring it to their attention. If you haven't made a mistake, then go ahead and cast that first stone. For what all that is worth, what I said is factual. I'll post it. the first column is House:
I agree the corruption is both parties, but that's not the narrative the GQP is spewing. You almost admitted that, then say the Dems are "acting guilty". Quit being a clown.
I'm under the impression that people support republicans ,because they have a trifecta.

That's a good question and I would suspect that if a peace agreement was made and then Russia violated it somehow there would have to be very serious repercussions.
Thirty years ago, on 5 December 1994, at a ceremony in Budapest, Ukraine joined Belarus and Kazakhstan in giving up their nuclear arsenals in return for security guarantees from the United States, the UK, France, China and Russia. They should already be balls deep in sanctions, too.

So you believe he is going to take all that money and give it to his political allies or will he use it to pay down the debt? If he does the former I will agree but taking power from he beauracracy is the opposite of an autocrat.
No. He's going to use it for tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. That's already a known fact.

Lack of support? We have given Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars, supplied them with weapons and intelligence. Throwing money at a corrupt institution hand over fist with no vetting is just insanity. End this war.
Of course I mean support going forward. I get your opinion is end it, and give them something. I don't agree, because I feel it's appeasement. What's Russia's guarantee they don't do it again, and why should we trust that? What measures could we take to ensure it?
1 minute ago, RkFast said:Apples and Oranges. Kuwait and Iraq were two completely seperate countries thoughtout history. Not so with Ukraine and the RU and even the biggest Ukrainan partisan admits this. Plus, Crimea is home to the RU's only warm water port. Them giving up Crimea and Sevastopol is like the US giving up Diego Garcia or Okinawa. Not going to happen. A negotiated settlement where new borders were established was ALWAYS where this was going to wind up.
Sorry, I'm not buying Putin's Soviet defense. Have you guys forgotten Ukraine already got burned bad??

Autocrat is pretty accurate. How else could you have the power to remove power?
3 minutes ago, JDHillFan said:You got the numbers wrong. It’s ok to admit it.
I get your point, that it's early in this session, but my statement was still accurate and factual. Furthermore, the premise of this was good, and no one seems to want to touch that part.

Are you absolutely certain about 12-4? You’ve said it twice now. 3 strikes and…
please don’t say your numbers hinge on the current congressional session. That would be rather disingenuous don’t you think?
You like to post with an air of authority. It’s incumbent on you to get it right.
They literally have a budget on their desks as we speak. Do you otherwise agree with the premise, or are you just doing some chatroom laundry?

It is not our decision to make, Ukraine is a sovereign nation able to negotiate their own terms. The fact that Trump had a role in the decisions being made is your problem, agree?
You don't think that the support, or lack of, from the USA has any bearing on this???

Yeah, the GQP looks bad because the dems are putting an attention-starved 80yo in charge of rapid response. The Dems look like the sane ones here.
Thanks for avoiding the point entirely.

Most people have no clue who she even is. The picture itself is the hit job. That was the point. If they're not going to use dog whistles anymore, then I'm not going to pretend to hear them.
