In Putin’s telling, Russia had no choice but to defend itself from a growing menace. Russia sought reasonable compromise, but “NATO countries did not want to listen to us…[they] had entirely different plans, and we saw this,” he said at a military parade in Moscow Red Square.
"In Kyiv," he added – falsely – "they announced the possible acquisition of nuclear weapons, the NATO bloc began actively taking military control of territories adjacent to ours." A clash with the “neo-Nazis” was “inevitable.” Then came Putin’s declaration of victory, such as it was: “Russia repelled this aggression.”

The truth is that Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons by 1994 and who did they surrender them to? Why Russia of course. I hate liars and the fucking lies they tell. Ukraine never had operational control of those nukes either. Ukraine never attacked anyone in Russia before Feb 24th of 2022. It was Russia who did the attacking, not Ukraine. It is on Russia the slaughter of innocents. https://www.icanw.org/did_ukraine_give_up_nuclear_weapons
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin voted for Donald Trump in 2016. Although these states had consistently chosen Democrats in the presidential election for decades prior to that, it was impossible that they reverted to their usual pattern in 2020. That’s because once you go for Trump, you are his forever. It is like a law!
We won’t. It’ll only continue until the next Presidential election that the GQP “wins” by flipping the electors in the state houses to the GQP candidate, as God intended, and sticking the US with yet another minority elected R president, and end elections afterwards.
Sometimes I feel like the right wingers, fueled by those secret congressional coke parties, are having a contest amongst themselves to see who can say the most insane thing and have the rubes believe it.
I mean – put aside the clear insanity here, this raises a big question: why would the secret Democratic evil overlords unleash a new plague to kill their fellow Democrats who actually believe science enough to take vaccines? If this were true, it would accomplish a right-wing dream, not a left-wing one.
Several weeks ago, there was a petition going around my rural red Pennsylvanian county asking for an audit of the 2020 election. Trump got 69.8% of my county’s vote, but that was not enough to satisfy the Trumpers.
They were actually questioning the vote, because some lower ballot Republicans got between 73% and 78% of the vote.
On the subject of terminology can we come up with better terminology than “election truthers”?
Election deniers maybe? Election abusers? Anti-electionists? Thuggish berserker gangs who want to overthrow the election? Anything but truthers or truthists
I have to say that ballot harvesting seems problematic to me. Republicans are known to have used the practice to change votes and destroy ballots in the past and I believe they will do it on a more organized basis in the future, using the excuse that it’s being done to them and they are just fighting back.
Was not that the point Ron Johnson made in his ‘honest’ secret taping that they found that 10% of GOP voters voted GOP up and down but left the Presidential ballot slot empty because they could NOT stomach Trump.
