Just want to have good-faith intelligent conversations without reflexive tribalism and oligarchs plastering manipulative, self-serving propaganda.

Trump sets the house on fire. Then amid outrage, he puts out the fire. As the house smoulders, he robs the bank next door.

How can anyone look at how Trump behaved on January 6th and believe he would do the right thing in a national security crisis?

The only thing I know about her is her full throated endorsement of Roy Moore for the senate.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Trump tried to strong arm Zelensky into a disadvantageous deal and when he refused Trump is going to portray him as 'not wanting peace'. He's a gangster.

According to Oxford it was first attributed to Stalin in 1947 by the Washington Post, so much earlier than 1956 whether it was him who said it first or not. And DEFINITELY not Marilyn Manson!!!

Elon Musk isn’t horrific because he’s a billionaire. Bill Gates and warren Buffett are billionaires. Musk is horrific because of his mentality, propaganda and actions. If he was just a millionaire that paid his fair share he’d still be horrific.

Every time I see his poll numbers and they're above 20% it staggers me.

Trying to get Trump to be sympathetic to Ukraine is nearly as insane as trying to get Putin to be sympathetic to Ukraine. He's a gangster, he's not capable of sympathy.

Emanuel Macron just exposed Trump for what everyone knows he is: an insecure, lying buffoon.

This is one of the functions of the concepts of hell, you can enjoy fantasising about the people you hate being punished. That also means you don’t have to tackle and stand up to their bad actions. Again, religion poisons everything.

"Trump's an isolationist" - No, Trump likes to watch while authoritarian thugs like himself bully their smaller peaceful neighbours and intervene in foreign affairs when its beneficial for him personally.

Zelensky is the modern Churchill. He has shown moral conviction all along. Trump found out this week that, even though they may not be loud, there's a hell of a lot of people rooting for Zelensky and the Ukrainians.

This week has been a mark-to-market for the fools who trot out the lie that 'Trump has a point on NATO countries defense spending', as if somehow if Spain spent 0.3% more of defense Trump would be on the right side of history.

The only good thing to come from this is transparently it shows how declarations of faith in absurd myths confers absolutely no morality, just a willingness to ignore reason when it suits.
