I used to believe that the big L Democrats, AKA "party of the elites"
were full of educated, well read, literate, urbane, compassionate
basket weavers – But when one does ad hominim postings like this,
devoid of example and cogent argument – kinda proves the point that
big L TDS folk are more hateful and ignorant than the illiterate,
unwashed, toothless, rednecked, guns and god, deplorables.
QED
But yet you remain in the shit filled room… odd.

When your in a shit fill room, aren't the smartest people the ones who
leave first?
Hard to think anyone with a brain would ever support Trump or MAGA.
All the calls for "no talk of politics" is delusional when its this
impactful to everyones lives, typically spewed by "the right" cowards
and other deplorables who can't defend their positions.

I just went back and looked, and my first post here was in
2012. So maybe not 20 years here, but 13.
I can remember some pretty garbage times on this list every
time politics get raised, even to the point of certain people
leaving, because this is a terrible platform to trump(et) your
views. Been on the internet for over 30 years and not once
have I seen sane political discourse on message boards or
social media. It's even worse with astroturfing in every
direction, literal bots riling up people in whatever direction
Russia or India or China wants. You've seen it, you've seen
the bot problems on all social media, and yet David talks
about the USA standing up to Russia like they're doing fucking
anything about it. Other countries try to get rid of the
garbage social media companies from the USA and trumpster
unilaterally threatens tariffs and cries like a little baby.
The fact that the USA has gone so far down the path that you
literally have a man who apparently can do whatever they want
with no consequences is the broke brain part of my statements.
A literal rapist, thief. Cool. Nice job. You guys did it.
Build the wall and ya'll can sort each-other out.
Pick and choose your platforms, figure out what is real and
what isn't. Go talk to people in the physical world. You'll
get to understand your fellow man a lot quicker and if your
aim is to make change.

May actually be too late. They already

- Greenland
So many think Trump is
a bully on Greenland .
. . If you think he's
so terrible, you
absolutely don’t know
history.
1) 1867 – Andrew
Johnson: explored
buying Greenland &
Iceland (right after
Alaska).
2) WWII – FDR: U.S.
took over Greenland’s
defense while Denmark
was occupied.
3) 1946 – Truman:
offered $100M in gold
to buy it.
4) Cold War –
Eisenhower → Kennedy:
nonstop negotiations
for bases, radar,
missiles.
5) Post–Cold War –
Clinton/Bush/Obama:
expanded Arctic
security & missile
defense.
6) 2019 – Trump: said
publicly what
presidents discussed
privately for 150+ years.
The U.S. didn’t
“suddenly” want Greenland.
It’s been defending
it, negotiating it,
and embedding there
since the 1800s.
Greenland = Arctic
power, shipping lanes,
missiles, minerals.
Trump didn’t invent
it. His crime is
he said the quiet part
out loud.
=======================
NATO Secretary General
Mark Rutte said on
Jan. 21 at the World
Economic Forum in
Davos, Switzerland,
that Trump is spot on
about the importance
of Greenland to
security. He said,
"When it comes to the
Arctic, I think
President Trump is
right. Other leaders
in NATO are right. We
need to defend the
Arctic. There are
eight countries
bordering on the
Arctic. Seven are
members of NATO.
That’s Finland,
Sweden, Norway,
Denmark, Iceland,
Canada, and the U.S.,”
Rutte said.
"And there’s only one
country bordering on
the Arctic outside
NATO, and that’s
Russia. And I would
argue there is a ninth
country, which is
China, which is
increasingly active in
the Arctic region. So,
President Trump and
other leaders are
right, we have to do
more there; we have to
protect the Arctic."
