    what really confuses me as a non american is against all the trained fear of communism and Russia (maybe the latter one is justified), these conservative people still went and elected the one guy who is best buddies with Putin. We are talking about people who were about to revolt because they thought medicare is communism

      I mean, not that they are ones for nuance, but I don’t think present day Russia has anything to do with communism.

        I agree but you can guess what the outcome of a poll in the US asking “is Russia a communist country” would come out as.

    I wish he’d fund meals for kids in schools with that money. We did it for awhile right after COVID but now lunch ladies have to go back to collecting food debt.

    The party of peace and democracy demanding more blood the day after the reelection bid is over was a thing everyone on the left knew would happen. Might as well be magic to libs.

    What Biden really needs to do is remove restrictions on the use of their weapons to their European allies, so they can support Ukraine in his absence.

        As a Swede and European:

        Biden did not start this war. It was Putin. I say arm ukraine to the teeth before leaving office.

        "Don’t worry. I am sure they will stop after we give them the sudetenland. "

        Here is the secret, Russia has already started WW3, the west is just not acting that way.

        If it’s almost certainly coming anyway then you may as well throw them a bone first

        And if it isn’t coming anyway, then you’ve done a little bit to screw up the plans of impending worldwide fascist domination

        I’d call that a win-win

      I doubt Biden is aware as he used to be he is rambling a lot worse I am not looking forward to all the best sellers describing his mental decline as he decided to run again
