I have not seen the footage but I can imagine they elevated the Russian narrative from “special military operations” to “this is a very real war where Russia started to roll into Ukraine where massive amounts of people died, including Russian soldiers”. If this is the message Ukraine sent to the general public then I support that truth.

And what if he gives an apology? It will never be a sincere one but let’s say he utters the words.
Then it’s back to endorsing him, right? I’m sure it will be.

He just told you how he truly thinks and I believe morons still think they are in the “in group” and support these vile republicans.

Perhaps Mexico will pay for it?

Maybe he has a certain very specific set of documents hoarded? Documents that have red lettering on the front cover that may spell the words “TOP SECRET”? Perhaps those will serve as a form of protection and leverage?

So an obvious, very mild, characterization is not allowed where I only warn people of what the OP is about but the OP can be rampant in the despicable behavior I pointed out?

Mod @jordanlund, be better please. This way the extremist get the upper hand whereas normal posters are blocked. This feels like what would happen on twitter and truth social.

Good point on the need to keep delivering, that can be a challenge. However, if your opponent/target is a clown like trump you have a near infinite source to keep your motor running. So the validity of the argument hinges on who you face off with.

A couple of hunderd years ago there were factions inside England and Holland who were extremely religious, pious and very wary of society as it was at the time. Distrust and disagreement on how society should operate and focus on. These groups were at odds with the rest of society. Mind you, the Dutch had a (relative for the time) relaxed and accepting stance on people with different opinions and/or religion. Not sure how England fared with that at the time though, they could have been more 'strict' as a society. And even in that atmosphere of acceptance and 'you do you' attitude the people of Holland got very annoyed and upset at these fanatical groups, it just clashed with the rest of society. It got to a point where the situation was unsustainable and something had to be done as the people started to realize that these groups would go to any lengths to impose their views and religious understandings on the rest of the country. Ditto for the English I suppose.

At a certain point the English started to ship these people to the colonies, i.e. America. The Dutch had a particular view on the matter. They 'offered' these people two choices:

  1. You take all your belongings, put it on a ship and f*ck of the America. And they had to buy their own tickets as well, essentially financing their own forced expulsion. We are Dutch after all :-)
  2. We cut your heads of, literally. Execution was on the table as would be your head if you refused to leave.

.

And in doing the forced expulsion of these nutjobs to the other side of the world got rid of the problem. And hence we exported the (as seen at the time at least) unreasonable crazies of the country to America. These people were part of the building and rise of the US, core members of society from an early stage.

Hence my theory and opinion that by exporting the religious crazies who held very odd and fanatical views on how society should be run become part of the 'core' of the US. It is my belief that this caused mayhem and anti-social, entitled morons to be part of the US and we can see the results today.

But I could be wrong of course 😀

You will probably not like this and I for sure don't but there is no denying it anymore. Half the US, or probably more like 30-ish percent, is fascist and/or racist and substantially sprinkled in religious fairy dust. The country harbors persons who are hateful, ignorant, dumb, like to vote against their own interest and easily fooled by con-men and crooks. And again, religion is the root of many issues here.

How this came to be is a whole other story and I partially blame the Dutch and British. Being Dutch myself I want to offer my sincere apologies for this. ask me why I think this is the case and I will try to explain as best as I can.

 

That was a subtle yet nice touch (pun intended) to see between these two. Absolutely casual and normal to them. These 2 are real friends.
