MAGA

This is Elon's AI bot though, Shirley it can't be wrong?

Joking apart, the Russians definitely have something sizeable on Trump.
There's no way he should be trying to "deal" with Putin, he's simply not clever enough, and his usual bullying tactics won't work, as Putin is a far bigger and uglier bully.
Trump hasn't managed to start throwing people out of tall buildings yet, I suspect he hasn't been on that course yet.

Trump is one of the few leaders advocating for diplomatic solutions rather than escalating tensions. But because it's Trump, well... you know the TDS kicks in and rationale flies out the window.

Same one sifting through your personal information on gov. servers.

yea, definitely not escalating tensions.

China says it is ready for 'any type of war' with US

The comments come in response to US tariffs and as Beijing boosts defence spending by 7.2%.

"If war is what the US wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we're ready to fight till the end," China's embassy said on X, reposting a line from a government statement on Tuesday.

China has a lot of meat to put into the war grinder for sure.

I'll think you'll find Putin escalated tensions by invading another country.

Trump is assisting Putin by blatantly obviously putting Ukraine in a weaker position than it was, and then doing a "great deal" by trying to leverage rights to Ukraine's natural resources (one of things Russia wants) to restore the help already given.

It's a typical Trump business move, except it's not business, it's a countries sovereignty and a peoples right to self governance.
He's tried it a hundred times before and as his previous business success rate demonstrates, he's not as good at it as he thinks.

The only winner from it all at the moment is Putin/Russia.

Why hasn't Biden's approach solved the problem? Or the EU approach. Four years in with only WW3 insight.

The Russian invasion of Georgia in August 2008 happened while George W. Bush was president.
The 2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia happened under President Barack Obama, with Joe Biden as Vice President.
Russian invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022, during the administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

I'm starting to see a pattern here.....

With no disrespect intended, Ukraine was ALREADY in a phenomenally weak position anyway.

And yet, the The Gulf was renamed.

With a wave of the golden wand, anything is possible.

In the almost 250 years of existence, when were we at our greatest, and how were we great?

In the almost 250 years of existence, when were we at our greatest, and how were we great?

Hey, that's a trick question. No way to really pinpoint it exactly because there are so many focus points of greatness, but things were a whole lot better in 80's except there was definitely more racism back then (but not anything like in the 40's and 50's. The only black mark being the Carter inflation years. Things were not perfect by no means, but they were a lot better (simpler) prior to internet taking off and prior to people staring at their phones all the time. Those devices and the one's we are on right now suck a lot of life out of us all. Maybe there is a connection there. There used to be privacy, that's really hard to come by now.

Some might even go back further in time, but there were things that got better like much lower amounts of racism in general and more tolerance towards people that were not like you or I. Then all of the sudden it's evil to be a white person. We are now racist because of the color of our skin. The better question is when and where did that craziness begin? I would have never predicted that would happen in a million years. Of course, I never bought into that BS, but it keeps getting propagated on the major networks as if it is really true when it's not.

Children used to respect their parents and teachers. Not any more. Have you been in a classroom lately?

The trick is to use the shopping cart method. Keep the good things, and leave out the bad. Then you have greatness.

Don't know where you get the idea that it is evil to be white. That's a maga thing. People aren't racist by the color of their skin. People are racist by their deeds, the things they say, and the way they treat others. They come in all colors. The problem is the current political climate giving racism permission to show it's ugly head.

Might have been on an escalator in NYC, but who knows.

Whatever you want to call it moke. Making America Great has nothing to do with those that mad it horrible.

It's a counter revolution at its core.

As @Mike Krailo said:

I pontificate, if one had to provide a specific answer (which is impossible); the US was at its high point on on July 20, 1969 when the Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Its been downhill ever since.

Why? The US was outwardly focused, we were doing positive things. It started going downhill with the implementation of the "Great Society" were we turned increasingly inward with ever greater social engineering, diversity, equity, etc. We now have a lot of internal friction and we (Congress) can't even pass a balanced budget anymore. We are on the road to cultural suicide.
