Where do you get your education from? Red State? Gateway Pundit?

Edit: you do realize it was a Republican who first went into Iraq and Afghanistan? Maybe not.

Of course I do. I learn from mistakes....

So you're cool with Biden and NATO pushing and provoking Putin into this war, and not trying to bring about a peace agreement last winter?

Are you cool with siding with a guy who has apparently set-up dictatorial powers for himself, who apparently has allowed Nazi battalions among his military ranks, and who has purportedly placed offensive weapons in civilian areas - thus resulting in those civilian areas to become targets for Russia?

Who is the sane leader in this war? Biden, Putin or Zelensky? I sure as hell can't tell. All three are bona fide madmen.

Most importantly, are you cool with the possibility of starting a nuclear fucking war? Are you more insane than Biden?

@MorningBrew

@morningbrew Over the past 100 years, the surest sign of an oncoming financial crisis has been a Philadelphia team winning the World Series:

1928 - Athletics (Won WS)
1980 - Phillies (Won WS)
2008 - Phillies (Won WS)
2022 - Phillies (80-67, TBD)

Funny that this tweet came in mid-September when the Phillies were still battling the Brewers for the final playoff spot.

Hmm, I'll check my ballot here in CO. Is it a simple yes or no on Democracy?

Something like that. I'm a no, personally. I've met too many people who qualify to vote, and we absolutely CAN NOT trust them to pick our leaders! :)

"I ran twice. I won twice."

I guess reality doesn't matter any more. Geezus F someone, anyone else from the Republican Party win the nomination, please!

The easiest people to fool are those who want to believe the lie. That's why it's so easy for people to lie to themselves. So, no. Facts don't matter if people like the lie better and decide to believe that instead. It also doesn't matter when all you want to do is crush the other side. If winning with lies angers them even more than winning legitimately, then the lies are actual preferable.
