Putin's "attack" on Ukraine was primarily because Europe violated every one of the Minsk accords. Zelensky green lit in massacre of ethnic Russians in the Donbas. Everyone acknowledges this, but they gloss it over as "no biggie". He also allowed the US, Israel and Great Britain to place biological and chemical weapons research facilities on the border

Doesn't make sense. Zelensky is the president from 2019. War started 2014. You say Zelensky or else would approve of a clensing, having Russia just waiting for another excuse.

Placing research facilities close to the border.

Isnt it the most vulnerable place to invest millions AND have classified technology (I assume in a zone with population fairly loyal to Russia) AND do the cleansing at the same time?

Idk but it sounds you fell for a standard Soviet propaganda.

@Stigma

Funny you should show this image.

History is written by the victors. Of COURSE Lucifer is going to be depicted in this way.

Funny how many see Trump in the same way. And I'll even go so far as to add Hitler and Putin to the list.

No matter what you think about any of these stories - the same group of people are behind the (literal) demonization of these and many other figures throughout history.

• Lucifer challenged God's power, knowing what he was going to unleash onto human kind. He tried to red pill Adam and Eve - why did God even let the most evil being in all history to be roaming around with the two most innocent beings in all of history? Lucifer lost, now he is literally Satan.

• Hitler rose to power because of what happened to Germany after WWI. Most historians agree that the treatment of Germany at the behest of certain interests was a bad idea. Hitler's main issues were 1. To crush Communism, and 2, To make Germany great again. Literally. The Jewish thing rose u p as more and people learned how deeply they were involved in various shenanigans. The holocaust was a horrific response - but it didn't just pop out of nowhere. He lost, so he too is literally Satan.

• Putin's "attack" on Ukraine was primarily because Europe violated every one of the Minsk accords. Zelensky green lit in massacre of ethnic Russians in the Donbas. Everyone acknowledges this, but they gloss it over as "no biggie". He also allowed the US, Israel and Great Britain to place biological and chemical weapons research facilities on the border with Russia - which is exactly what the Minsk accords were supposed to prevent. He has not yet lost, but he is depicted as the new Hitler.

• Trump was a darling of the left for decades - until he ran. Then they painted him as "literally Hitler" (notice a pattern yet?)

Take which ever side you wish on any of these men/figures - but where's the lie?

Have.

A good day.

@Typo-MAGAshiv

you're being way too alarmist,

You, like virtually every other Trump fan I see and interact with, are acting waaaay too passive and accepting, presumably because it's "your guy."

taking your cues from the Democrat politicians

There's not a single Democrat politician I like or respect right now, much less take cues from. Projection, or intellectual laziness to assume so?

who are screeching

Emotive language that predisposes speaker and user alike to disregard any and all substance to what is actually getting discussed. A type of propaganda. Does this originate in your own mind, or are you picking it up from your sources? You've used emotive language repeatedly when referencing "other side."

Everyone I know who is drawing Social Security has experienced no hiccups. [VA stuff that follows]

Maybe not YET, but have you zero concern for what will be done with ALL of the information that Elon Musk and his employees collecting information from the entire treasury system down the road?

What is "targeted" is the bloated excess spending that isn't necessary, such as the excessive mid-level management bureaucracy.

To the extent that this is true, I'm quite glad for it. My concern is that these particular targets are like candy to conservative audiences, and as such they sate their curiosity and diligence opening the way for actions that even conservatives do NOT want. I've seen this play out over and over through the decades and it's the exact process that brought America to the current state of Forever Wars and mass Civil Asset Forfeiture in airports and on highways.

@MentORPHEUS you're being way too alarmist, taking your cues from the Democrat politicians who are screeching because a) their precious vote-buying programs are getting targeted, and b) corruption they were part of is being exposed, and c) money they were using to enrich themselves is being taken back.

Also the fact getting glossed over is the targeting of spending on very legitimate programs that directly help Americans who paid into "The System" their whole lives, such as Medicaid, Social Security, Veteran's Benefits, etc., as well as school lunches and food programs that benefit the needy.

Everyone I know who is drawing Social Security has experienced no hiccups.

I had a medical appointment with the VA just last week, and they spent this past week playing phone tag with me to set up followup appointments and lab work.

The shit that these agencies exist for is not "targeted". What is "targeted" is the bloated excess spending that isn't necessary, such as the excessive mid-level management bureaucracy.

Have you ever job hunted at usajobs.gov? I spent a good chunk of time there between getting out of the Army in 2012 and getting into my skilled trade in 2016. The amount of unnecessary jobs that you wouldn't think exist in some of these agencies is astounding. The VA alone has a ton of shit that isn't necessary if their primary functions are health care, disability pensions, and the GI Bills. They could use some auditing, as could many of these other agencies.
