If you just stand back and look at how the right wing is embracing Putin, it's quite telling.
The trumpists vastly prefer one guy, like Putin, who makes all the decisions and is in full charge, to the messiness of democracy. The Republicans really want an authoritarian leader who kicks congress to the curb and does it all. They instinctively gravitate to the Big Man in the room.
They are disgusted by the Western system of experts and bureaus and intellegence estimates and constrained presidents.
Ok, right wingers. You have revealed yourself very well. You aren't good Americans or small-d democrats. Trump is your dream come true.
Well, I could have told you.
Trumpettes are NOT Americans!
(Never have been. Never will be)
oh they are americans all right. Read American history and you see them throughout.
oh they are americans all right. Read American history and you see them throughout.
always wrong, but always present.
Nope, not Americans.
Americans believe in truth.
Americans are not afraid of the world.
Americans are not perpetual victims.
Americans believe in justice.
Americans respect and are respected.
Americans are not consumed by hatred.
Americans are world leaders in science.
Americans believe in democracy.
Americans have no tolerance for totalitarianism.
Americans are world leaders in industry.
Americans are world leaders. Period.
Americans believe in truth (did I already say that?).
Nope, not Americans.
have you ever taken an American history class?
geez. the country is consistently 1/3 yahoo, 1/3 enlightenment and 1/3 'leave me the F alone I don't care.' The yahoos have run the place pretty regularly.

Oh, agip.
I think I am done with you here. But think, dude. Think.

Sounds like the start of a good conversation.
go on. What should I be thinking?
Think about this!
1. There’s no such thing as perfect. 2. Don’t aim for good — aim for good enough. 3. You’re not unlucky. You’re not lucky either. 4. There’s no single right choice. There are infinite choices, all of which can be made right by you. 5. Motion creates action. So, get moving. 6. You’re not the person you were yesterday and you’re not the person you’ll be tomorrow. 7. You control what happens to you because you control how you perceive it. 8. What have you done 100 times in the last year? Those are the things determining the course of your life — adjust accordingly. 9. What people say about you and your work reveals more about them than you or your work. 10. Timing is a skill. 11. Trying to do what somebody else has done is like copying the test answers of somebody who’s taking a different test. 12. You didn’t miss your moment of opportunity — you missed THAT moment of opportunity. Another one will be along in a minute. 13. When you scratch an itch, it makes you want to scratch it more. 14. Every test in life is open book. 15. The most valuable answers come from asking the most valuable questions. 16. “Because I want to” is a great reason to do something. 17. The point of being open minded is to allow enough ideas in that you can form your own. 18. Nobody cares about your creation until they understand what it can do for them. 19. In the beginning, everything is to be determined. The question is, who will determine it? 20. Don’t “spend” your time, invest it.
Not a bad example of just how far one of two major parties in what we thought was a great country has fallen. Extol Nixon and Trump (the latter being nearly infinitely worse), and add immature commentary about the guy from the other tribe that you’ve absurdly turned into the boogeyman. The pathetic displays only multiply.

You guys basically agree that a large proportion of Americans suck. And I agree. No need to argue, that’s for sure.
Trump's publicly traded shell company that will house his digital company, is up 16% today because the launch of their right wing twitter clone was perceived to have been a success.
Trump is a money machine. Not sure if that makes him more likely to run or not...but clearly making money off the bumpkins and their political leanings is the goal for trump...real estate is in the past.
It's just like Trump steaks or Trump airlines or Trump water or Trump casinos.
It won't make money. It's all a con.
This is classic pump and dump.
But but it has the word Truth in it's name and Trump endorses it!
Complete pump and dump, if he even gets that far. Of course, we could easily see a situation which he convinces the mouth breathers that they need to buy the stock to own the libs. To think this is what would finally motivate them to figure out how to open brokerage accounts, LOLz.
“Biden's overall job approval has shown no meaningful improvement since last fall when it declined after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. High inflation and the continuing coronavirus pandemic are likely two factors keeping Biden's approval rating down,” said Gallup, noting the beginning of Biden’s fall.
President Joe Biden’s downward spiral in polling that started with the bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan at the end of August has continued nonstop, and he is now underwater on the key issues measured by Gallup.
Hey look, I’m stupid enough to actually believe the Kremlin. Hey look, I think that any country can humiliate the POTUS by SIMPLY claiming that they didn’t watch a tv screen. Hey look, if I knew ANYTHING about WWII, I’d decide that the main thing was that Chamberlain was “humiliated” by Hitler, NOT that Hitler was a genocidal monster.
