The GOP is so consumed by incoherent QAnon babble that Trump's deterioration doesn't register

    One of us is extremely familiar with who Joe Biden is. It’s not, apparently (if you’re not lying) you. Unless you meant Biden. Trumps just an old crony capitalist, crooked, but not particularly warlike.

      You mean the guy who just said he backed the war on Gaza and that we need to keep going until we have achieved total victory. Yeah, he’s not particularly warlike. Fucking idiot.

        You need a history lesson over who did what. It’s pathetic at this point, y’all whining about the least warlike president since Carter. Indoctrinated to the point of uselessness, can’t even differentiate literal facts from opinion.

          Nothing you say matters, not even to yourself. Get an education before commenting again. Thank you!

            An education would prevent you from thinking that’s an appropriate rebuttal. I mean a real education, not a booklet listing the names of logical fallacies that cost 40-90 grand

      “Not particularly warlike”

      Except when it comes to allowing Russia to bulldoze Ukraine.

      https://www.ft.com/content/18c5296a-f0d5-47d5-aacd-af5210d638fc

      Except when it comes to letting Russia do “whatever the hell they want” to NATO members:

      Or when it comes to allowing Israel to execute everyone in Gaza.

      Or attacking Syria:

      Or attacking our own citizens:

        Obviously I was comparing him to other presidents. You knew that though.
