In case you were wondering why the right is particularly miserable these days:

Can you imagine the howling outrage from the right if Biden suggested deporting MAGAs to Russia?

I see you can not refute one fact from the article.

Another big issue is that the Republican party appears to be tearing itself apart with jokers like MTG sucking up all the air in the room and Trump raiding the RNC to pay his bills with no thought to...

How noble of you to take up the white man's burden and tell these poor ignorant savages who they really are. :laughter:
The facts are that the whole area has had lots of different ethnic and...
It is ironic how some westerners on this board are certain that all Arabs in Israel are Palestinians and those who say they are not are poor, deluded victims of the Jewish oppressors who need a...
Lol indeed. Washington Times? Was American Thinker down?
Even Fox has lost interest in your party's Kremlin-led jihad against the United States....
Honestly, it feels like "genocide" has become for the left what "socialism" is for the right. Just shorthand for "Something I don't like." or "When I don't get my way."
Yes, it is tragic what has...
You're running away from sumskilz evidence because it contradicts what you believe. You're engaging in crimestop.
Apparently in the Magasphere the idea is being passed around that Trump should fire all of his lawyers and represent himself. Stable genius and all that.
the closest analogy I can think of for...
Being a dirty western infidel pig worthy only of a slow death at the hands of the heroic martyrs of Hamas myself, I'm not inclined to take Hamas' word Israel is just mindlessly killing all of the...

Once again, Trump is outright making things up: https://newrepublic.com/post/180900/trumps-bizarre-claim-hush-money-trial-gets-brutal-fact-check
Some of them yes, but for most it has become obvious Trump sees them as tools to be used and discarded. They will still vote for him, but the days of serious worry that they would be willing to...
Not all G7 economies have fully recovered to their pre-pandemic size; by contrast, the U.S. real GDP is now 5.4 percent above the level at the end of 2019. Relative to pre-pandemic trends the United...
Ever notice how all of the all "impartial observers" on the war repeat the exact same "impartial observations" at the exact same time?
It's because they get their news from the exact same...
It really isn't up for debate that Hamas committed atrocities against Israelis on 7/10. They live streamed themselves raping and murdering. They're proud of it.
So far no million-strong army of Magas arriving in New York to free Trump and burn the city to the ground. Even they realize that he would happily leave every one of them to rot in jail were the...
If you want to bang on about the US in the 1950's be my guest. But don't pretend we aren't the better choice today.

It's awful! The liberals won't let me buy even one measly slave!
There is no such thing as NATO/US imperialism. NATO/US are not invading other countries to subjugate them, steal their resources, and enslave their populations. NATO is a VOLUNTARY organization, one...
Back in the day when the right was mostly all enamored with Putin as the big strong savior of the white race, he had his agents telling them that Obama was a secret Muslim born in Kenya who was going...
In this country there is no such thing as divine right. The presidency must be earned by getting more votes than one's opponent. Trump didn't, so he isn't president.
He has, however, set the...
Propaganda and a myopic worldview.
For 80+ years now Russia has churned out propaganda by the ton that blamed the United States and NATO for all of the world's ills and in particular any problems...
You have provided no evidence for any of your wild assertions, particularly that Putin was forced into going to war against his will or that ethnic Russians are being mistreated in the Baltics....

More Russophobic violence incoming!
Russia will never be a significant player on the world stage again. While no doubt they will try to blame the usual list of scapegoats (US, NATO, EU) this...
I think I have it. Russophobia is when we point out facts that Putin and his supporters don't like.
For instance, the statement "In their two year invasion Russia has only occupied an additional...
Russophobia is the only way the apologists can explain Ukraine fighting against Russia. They cannot understand why Ukraine did not welcome the chance to join the peace and prosperity of Putin's...
I'd say no, it is always better to have allies and friends then vassals and slaves. Vassals and slaves can only be counted on when you have the strength to keep them in shackles, but should the...
So your position is that all of the mass graves, mass rapes, destroyed cities, kidnapped children, forced labor, all of it is just "Russophobia" correct?
The better question to ask is what wouldn't they gain?
Russia has been a hostile threat to the rest of the world for it's entire existence, with periods of active war on anyone within reach only ...
No alhoon, they "hunted down" Trump because he is a habitual, unapologetic, shameless, serial criminal who has been committing felonies both large and small for his entire 40+ year career. There is...
