Why would anyone care what Bolton has to say? If we listened to him we would probably be in the middle of WW3 right now.
His own National Security Advisor speaks against him. That should normally raise a lot of red flags.
Anybody who hasn't already seen the dozens of red flags isn't going to care about one more.
What if most of the red flags are not real or manufactured, and the other side has just as many red flags?
They aren't and they don't.
The funny part is that if you actually engaged with what I am saying, you would list a bunch of things that are either completely false or exaggerations or just different opinions. The issue is that you are being lied to and your sources of news suck.
The funny part is that actually engaging a bad faith troll is a waste of my time. You did kind of prove my point though, so thanks for that.
That is all you guys do is insult and say nothing of substance. Hopefully you will see the error of you ways before the country is destroyed, but probably not.
And all you've done is ask some bullshit hypothetical question about "both sides". Don't start crying about how that deserves a fully researched response with citations. It got exactly the response it deserved.
If you want to destroy the country, the convicted fraudster and rapist who promised to be a dictator on day one is a sure-fire way to do it.
Okay good, you actually made a claim "convicted fraudster and rapist". He was not convicted of rape, and the fraud he was convicted of was complete and obvious bullshit to anyone that knows thing one about real estate.
I am telling you, trump was not a good president, but all the things you believe are based on bullshit.
The judge in the Jean Carroll case disagrees with you. But I'm sure you know better than him. It's also not ok to penetrate someone against their will, even if you don't use your dick.
Owing $400M is bad from a security/blackmail point of view even if you're apparently cool with all the fraud. Would you prefer to discuss the scam University or the charity that was shut down for misuse of funds?
You also didn't address him being a dictator on day one, so I guess you're ok with that.
Hand-waving away documented crimes and established facts is really just further proving my point about not seeing red flags.
I do know better than him about real estate, that is true, but he would be better at law. But its a political prosecution not a protection one. And the rest of your comment is just standard leftist propaganda; trump makes a joke and you pretend its real.
I thought we were talking about trump not biden... I bet you dont even know about that one.
Hahahahahaha
You're acting like we haven't been in the opening stages of WWIII since Russia invaded Ukraine...back in 2014! The deeper invasion into Ukraine and Israel v Gaza are just more steps in that direction, and if America devolves into Civil War the whole world is going to be settling past grievances, and WWIII will be on like Donkey Kong. While I hope I'm wrong, things could definitely go wrong for all of us, especially with who takes or keeps the American Presidency in November.
I think both WW3 and a civil war are avoidable if we change course, but I agree with you that it all seems quite inevitable.
There's just too many misinformed hot heads saying and doing dumb shit while being herded by malicious puppet masters with their own nefarious agendas, and if Trump wins in November each of those dominoes will start tumbling as things degrade. I hope we all see reason but those that are sucked into the various disinformation and propaganda campaigns are basically forming new religions around the objects of those misinformation and propaganda campaigns, and each of those new religions have counter-religions that those same misinformation and propaganda purveyors have also helped to foster and foment, just a really ugly problem to tackle regardless of if things go well in the future.
Why do you think this is Trump centric? From what I see, we are involved into two wars that directly lead to WW3, and that was on Bidens watch (not that trump wouldnt have gotten involved in Israel).
The US bolsters NATO, Taiwan, South Korea, and the rest of our allies, Trump is an extreme isolationist, pro-Putinist, Pro Kim Jong Un, and despite his BS, Pro Xi, if he pulls out of NATO, flips on all of our alliances it will break the current world order, and bolster a world order of fascist tyrants. Trump is also talking about some pretty extreme measures at home, and I doubt we'll all just take it, loyalties are going to he divided, we're weak AF right now and primed for a collapse, which will also upset the current world order. Also people may not like the idea of world orders, but what we have is much better than the alternative that guys like Trump, Putin, and others offer.
The reason why we'll weather things better under Biden is that he's competent, surrounds himself with fairly competent people, he's not an isolationist, and MAGA/GOP are one presidential loss from total collapse, especially now with the Trump's in full control of GOP finances.
So yeah, that's why.
Sorry man but those are talking points not policy stances. He is not pro-everyone, its just just how he acts. The real way to tell what the truth is to look at the score board and see that Biden has gotten us into two wars in four years and trump did not. I believe that if Trump were the president last term, Putin wouldnt have invaded Ukraine.
Oh my god, this is just so dumb. I can point to a bunch of different things they fucked up beyond recognition. This has objectively been one of the worst administrations ever. The only one worse one in the modern era would be Bush.
Whatever, you brainwashed Trump bootlicker 🤣
The difference is that I am not going to vote for trump because I dont like him, and you are going to vote for biden becasue you beleive whatever you are told.
