If you want to define "appeasement" as negotiation and compromise vs. getting your way with everything while demanding everyone follow your rules or else then go ahead. And this isn't the depression era 1930's. Its the 2020's and there are far more differences between that time and today than there are similarities. So its a false comparison that leads to incorrect choices.

Ukraine isn't and never was our ally. Its a paid bribe to the country's leaders for an arrangement of convenience and a pawn to be sacrificed in an effort against Russia with a goal of inhibiting any economic and political integration of Western Europe and Russia. A failed effort. Its severely damaged the economies of western Europe and overall done more to weaken our side than the enemy. Its facilitated an arrangement of necessity between China and Russia. 2 against 1. You tell me where in the world our influence is greater now than when Biden took office? Africa, Asia,the Middle East, South America? None of those places. You better wake up from your obsession with Putin and take a look around. We're screwed and this crew of Democrats and Republicans in Washington have no clue.

You're not seeing it right. You lack the ability to see the situation objectively. My minding your own business approach is better because our meddling and interference in Ukraine's internal affairs through the efforts of Nuland created the conditions for the conflict. Once she resumed her duties at State in 2021 to pick up where they left off when Obama left office it was clearly telegraphed, at least to me, that a conflict was coming. You can disagree, and I'm sure you will, but that's only because you refuse to accept the first punch was thrown before the Russians made their move. The conditions for war started when the Maidan coup removed the President. I guess doing it differently and allowing 500K people that are now dead to live their lives doesn't appeal to you.

For one, the funds in this case were not campaign monies. The funds were from private sources obtained through legal means. 2nd, these charges are not brought by DOJ. So exactly what campaign finance law is Trump accused of violating under the Bragg indictments? None of the 34 counts mentions anything. And even if it did, those are Federal campaign law violations and the State's jurisdiction over such violations is suspect. This case is bogus and the judge is as crooked as they come.

I'm concerned with what's best for Americans. Our freedoms, our country. I'm not concerned with babysitting every arrangement and dispute between every other country on the planet. They're fully capable of making decisions and holding discussions and handling their affairs without our help or interference. I'm not going to support the approach we base every strategic and tactical decision and policy on what is good or not good for Putin. Its what's good for us that matters. Basing your policies on what's good or not good for a foe and ignoring your own needs is for lack of a better word, STUPID.

You might be able to coerce union leaders to say this but you won't hear this from their membership. By the way, FDR was the best union President.

I think the Europeans should fight and fund their own battles. Its 79 years since WW2 ended. The US military has committed troops and equipment funded almost entirely by the US taxpayer to the tune of trillions of dollars to defend Europe. Let them fund their own defense. I can name a dozen domestic priorities that can use those funds for a better purpose, a purpose to address the needs of Americans. Meanwhile, Congress of both parties obviously doesn't work for the American taxpayer which begs the question who do they work for? Looks like defense contractors, the Pentagon, and the Intelligence community. Time for a new vision. That's why they're crapping their pants over the potential for Trump 2.0. He might derail their gravy train. That's all they care about. Truth is they don't care about Ukraine or Ukrainians or democracy. If they all die its just the business of Empire. We're not doing anything special here. We're just committing capital and resources to producing weapons. The Europeans can do that for themselves.

With jury instructions from judge Robespierre to pick a crime and vote "yes".

French troop were recently kicked out of Niger so they need to find a new mission to keep busy. When they start taking casualties let's see what happens. Its obvious what Biden's "waiting for", the election to pass. In the meantime, maybe he can send DeNiro to threaten Putin. That should have the Russians shaking in their booties.

A distinction that may not matter since none of the 34 counts mention any underlying crime or cite any law or criminal code violation by name or number. The falsifying business records statute says to conceal or facilitate a crime. What crime is that exsctly? In a normal court that would be a count 35. But apparently its a multiple choice quiz. The judge instructed the jury they can find Trump guilty of any of a list of "crimes" but they do not all have to agree on one specific crime. That's wild.

If I'm Joe I'd be worrying about Hillary sneaking into my bedroom in the middle of the night to smother me with a pillow then declaring herself the party's candidate the next morning.

Snooze fest.

What exact is everyone so "Proud" of?

Hey I'm still stuck on the indictment and the connection between falsifying business records (with intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof) but what other crime exactly? I get the concealment part with the NDA and the payments. But defraud whom? And what other crime? Election interference? Are candidates obligated to divulge every detail of their lives to the voting public? Even that George Santos guy is out running free and clear. Why isn't Bragg after that dude? Because he's not running for President against the DA political party's candidate? Yeah, that's it!

So no more of that beyond a reasonable doubt nonsense in NYS?

The careers of these TDS sufferers depend on Trump winning. If he loses their reason to exist vanishes. The dirty secret is they need him to win!

It takes about 12 to 15 years from initial planning to operating for a nuclear power plant. And there's talk of reviving the domestic uranium mining sector but its just talk with regulations and environmental groups blocking re-starting or developing projects. Uranium company share prices have taken off but I think those investors will soon be disappointed by actual events. And this administration isn't going to piss off any core constituency of environmental groups to revive the nuclear power industry. So 4 more years of clown show Biden puts off a serious program until at least 2029.

Would you consider corruption to be States diverting funds for other uses with a nod and a wink from the Feds? This could be another of those situations where an investigation by DA Bragg would be prudent into the potential of "falsifying business records".

Biden's foreign policy is getting results. For our enemies!

I think the plan, if there is indeed a plan, lacks what is customarily called "oversight". Sure they spent $7.5 billion so who can tell us what amount of money each State received and what they did with it? The folks handing out the cash at the Federal level have accountability for monitoring and measuring the implementation of the State efforts. And although the program is executed at the State level it doesn't give the Federal government an excuse to throw up their hands and say its out of our control. Its not.

They were booing and cheering. So they don't agree on everything? The Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver sounds like somebody progressives would prefer to Biden.

Running on addressing income inequality won't be in the cards for Biden. He's out telling everybody the system is set up to screw them. Blacks, Hispanics, the poor, the working person, everybody. You all have no chance at success. But hey Joe, you are the system!

An admission from a mouthpiece on the left that the Deep State is real.

MAGA is more a belief than a group. It's a belief the central government in Washington does not represent their views or interests.

What's next? 20 year olds claiming to be 50 to get into my over 40 basketball league? It's what used to be called a ringer. This fake-lady thing would have had people rolling with laughter before mental illness and insanity became acceptable forms of behavior.
