Russian asset and traitor says what?

What a productive and meaningful way of spending time and effort!
She must be very proud, feeling so useful and intelligent and wise.

Don't you hate how easy it is to abuse the political machinery for personal theater by these ignorant narcissistic parasites?

It would fucking blow the GOP's mind if Biden walked out on the White House lawn and said "Socialism bad, Corporate oligarchy good".

Because the first thing out of half of their mouths would be "WE NEED MORE SOCIALISM"

And honest to goodness it would take them a day to realize what happened.

Definitely started before Trump, with the loud, asshole Fox news pundits like Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck. Jon Stewart spoke out about it a lot and held a rally in 2010 called The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. Unfortunately sanity was not restored.

Is this due to his denial of Ukraine joining NATO?

[–] Thorndike 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What are you talking about? Biden hasn't denied Ukraine membership in NATO (it's not up to him). To join NATO you can not be in a current conflict (see:the current war.) Biden would absolutely love to have Ukraine join.

You are entirely right, but the person you're replying to was certainly referring to how the US and Germany together prevented NATO from providing a more concrete timeline and encouraged the vague promise of Ukraine being offered an invitation to NATO when unspecified "conditions have been met".

[–] Thorndike 1 points 1 year ago

There can't be a timeline unfortunately. Putin knows that NATO won't let Ukraine in during a conflict. All he has to do is keep any sort of conflict going and he prevents NATO membership.

Nothing that woman does or says has any rhyme or reason or purpose other than to further poison our country.
