The Frankish Reich Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 2 minutes ago, B-Man said: Tom Cotton was considered presidential timber just a few short years ago. Now he's completely out of the mix. Why? He refused to go full Trump Mode and retained just a bit of common sense. Meanwhile, Elon: what do you propose we do? Just let Putin have Ukraine? Because that's "the outcome" if we do. 1
BillStime Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 I actually agree with Tom… …but not Elon - he’s just another Mother Tucker Putin stooge.
Tiberius Posted July 16, 2023 Author Posted July 16, 2023 The Republican nomination contest is accelerating, as is Ukraine’s counteroffensive, the latter underscoring the stakes of the former. During Spain’s civil war, a rebel general boasted that he had four columns marching on Madrid and “a fifth column” in Madrid, meaning supporters of the army’s insurgency. Vladimir Putin’s fifth column is not in Kyiv but in the Trump-DeSantis faction of the Republican Party. Putin has two hopes for a less than completely mortifying rescue from his Ukraine blunder. One is the election of Trump, whose frivolousness about national security complements his weakling’s admiration for a bully. Putin’s other hope is the election of DeSantis, who says (or said, before retreating when criticized) Russia’s attempt to erase a European nation is a “territorial dispute.” And whose pandering to Trumpkins prevents him from denouncing House Republicans who are as eager to abandon Ukraine as they would have been to abandon Czechoslovakia in 1938. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/14/trump-desantis-not-inevitable/

sherpa Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 I wonder if the author of that piece was as forthcoming on "abandonment," when the C-17 left Afghanistan with people hanging on the landing gear. Maybe there will be an opinion piece on the Biden Administration's oft repeated approach to "people paying their fair share" in federal income tax or gun control now that his kid is a known abuser and non law abider in both issues. 1 2 1
