Please let this be serious. Wonder who would take over should this come to pass.

You were watching the view? Lol. That's worse than getting caught singing along to Celine Dion in the car.

I suspect you're being facetious. Not quite my point there. They stole gold reserves and anything they could get their hands on of value. Many of a certain age in formerly occupied nations hold a grudge still while the young look to Germany for work. Former eastern bloc countries had it real rough it's hard not to have some sympathy there. For Poland, Czech, Slovakia which didn't exist then, Germany either invades or is gifted lands and pillages resources and kills any who dissent. Then what do they have to look forward to? Soviet rule which wasn't better and certainly not wanted. It's a wonder some have recovered as they have.

A few in the east are raging dumpster fires because they were under the ussr's thumb for so long. Not easy to rebuild after that. I've been to a few of these countries shortly after communism collapsed and the difference between now and then is immense. And one reason Germany is doing so well is because they looted a lot of countries they invaded in ww2. Gold, art, you name it they pillaged it. They've made some amends but only a fraction. As to Russia you may be right. I suspect their aims are not quite so high (bit unrealistic) but could be. I think as Putin finally admitted they are trying to get old lands back and he's blowing off some fireworks before he croaks.

And they wonder why Nordic countries are moving to get into Nato. Hopefully Ukraines neighbors will get more financial help from the eu and elsewhere. Poland for example has absorbed a huge amount of refugees and they aren't exactly rich.

Lol so during a proceeding showing some conservatives clearly trying to take power by force your conclusion is that dems are un-American. Brilliant. I'll say it again covid broke you. You make some good points sometimes but then you go off full batshit or conspiracy peddler.

They're mostly Ukrainian nationalists using Nazi symbolism. Of course they gained popularity because some shiite-hole neighbor has been trying to take over part of their country. But yeah there are Nazis there. I know some Nigerians who were there for schooling and got stuck were not treated very well because they were black. Ukraine may come out of this stronger and with more equality. After seeing women, LGBT, and some black volunteers from overseas one would hope some of the racist sentiments would subside. Who knows though?

Gohmert and smart have never and will never belong in the same sentence unless smart is preceded by the word not. I couldn't believe what I heard even knowing beforehand this orc took the short bus to school.

I don't know that was pretty good. Summed up the right's insanity and borderline obsession with Clinton pretty well. I bet the next Hillary bombshell will have it's own pointless discussion as well.

So change nothing? Gun access is 0% of the problem? The rest of the world thinks we're nuts and they may be right.

Does it matter? Sounds like a matter of time before that blows up. Do you really trust a politician getting money from the gun industry to make good faith policy decisions?

Fair enough but it seemed to me he wanted to blame anyone or thing other than the gun industry. I don't think anything he said was crazy but it also wasn't a revelation of any kind. In an extremely over simplified way of putting things we have the most guns and the most gun violence (by a bit right?). So why don't we figure out a way to be sensible about who can get guns?

Society and culture they enabled? Wtf are you talking about? Are other countries that had covid lockdowns experiencing the same shootings we are? Tucker is full of ***** as always. How you people fawn over this tool is repulsive. Stop tanning your nads your hurting your brains.

It's not communist. It's a dictatorship under the guise of a constitutional republic. I think people are getting caught up with them wanting their Soviet Era land back and thinking their government's system is the same.

At the end of the day both parties are just arguing that the extremes of the opposition are taking over. The irony is most of us in this forum are pretty close to the middle (excepting the fear mongering conspiracy theorists). You've got more knuckleheads threatening violence and civil war than before but that could just be my perception.

Ironically eastern Europeans despise Russians and Russia. I was in Poland when it was communist when I was young. It is so different now its hard to articulate. To this day I like to discuss the weirdness of that time with family that lived through it.

I'm wary of disinformation. You should be too it sounds like your Schumer made it up gag is horse crap. I don't care enough to check further tbh.

That's nuts. That has to have repercussions outside of western businesses (hopefully). Who'd want to set up shop there with the risk of that happening?

Oooh you learned a new word, naivete, nice. Were idiots screaming hang Mike Pence? I think an effigy becomes a bit more serious with that in mind. Think of what you're defending for a millisecond. Even if some aspects are overblown by the media. ***** on the walls dude. One of the bullet points if your lazy like me. Even if it's not accurate only the scum of our country were there (sounds true though). https://www.businessinsider.com/capitol-riot-custodial-staff-cleanup-janitors-maga-trump-white-supremacists-2021-1

So that protest would have turned into Jan 6 if not for the police? Cmon. Antifa is a joke. You guys are scared of whiny emo kids. They cry, break stuff, then run. Nothing new though you say? Rubbing their own crap on the walls of the Capitol building was new I think. Building gallows and chanting to hang the vp is new, no?

When was that concession speech given? It wasn't. Only a lame statement that there'd be a transition of power. I don't equate that to what, to my knowledge, every president did before him. All the while he still touts the election was stolen.

Sure exactly the same. Gore riled up his base until they snapped too I forgot about that. If the orange simpleton had simply requested a couple recounts where the vote was close then conceded this thread and all the others on Jan 6 wouldn't exist. I'm all for bringing in new blood to buck the system. But Republicans brought in the worst crook to fix a crooked system. Why did dems fight Trump so much? They knew he was a moron and corrupt to the bone.

Yup he gets overhyped sometimes. If I recall he'd often miss an easy pass or two early at home by putting a little too much on the ball.

Unfortunately that's how it goes for many people watching fox or msnbc or any other crap news station we have in our country.

You're either hitting a crack pipe or being disingenuous. Just because...Gore eventually conceded your orange master did not. How anyone can continue to support or defend that utter imbecile is beyond my understanding. I wish we had a healthy republican party, we need one. What is going on now is a circus. I'll say that goes for both sides but hopefully you guys nominate someone with more than one brain cell. Then with luck dems will then nominate someone other than Biden.
