Their logic is just so flawed. He claims Trump was pulling out of NATO. Yeah, because we were the only ones funding it. But then also tries to claim well. They were increasing their amount. There were countries that weren’t paying anything. Gets it up to 5% and do you think they give him any credit for it? Nope. Like I said, I just don’t think they deal in the same world we do.

I look at as in your drunk dumbass friend wants to fight the bouncer. If you wanna go get your ass kicked by all means, but don’t expect me to jump in and help when we’re trying to save you. Sniffy the clown wants to keep fighting? Have at it. He’ll take the whole country from you and I won’t lose a minute Sleep over it.

It’s perfect sense. You’re claiming he invaded under Trump. Trump had been there one month. Are you asserting that he got this all together in a month because he doesn’t respect Trump? I’ll give you three months. Do you even know what Donbas is? Everything in paragraph two about Ukraine is factual. One of the most corrupt countries in the world. But you wanna protect them like their the second coming of England. It’s really really weird. I mean like most liberals you’re passionate about it as long as it’s someone else’s money and someone else’s body getting killed. If five men invade your house with guns and you don’t have one your best option is not to fight. You’re only hope is to negotiate your way out of it. It’s not Hope your neighbor comes over with a couple spatulas for you and then talk a bunch of other Neighbors into coming over and bringing their pillows over to help you.

Are you really that delusional that you think everything was hunky-dory and then all of a sudden Trump got in and in one month Russia cobble together an invasion?. I almost actually hope you think that’s what happened. yes, a country so corrupt they couldn’t even get into NATO got invaded. We’ve sent them billions of dollars, reported some of it has been lost which what a shock, and it’s not our war. By all means if you wanna go fight in meaningless wars, go ahead and enlist or better yet you can write an extra check to the government at any point in market for Ukraine. Most of us that live in rationalville are done with this . Fight your own war or get out.

Lol sure…sure babe. From NATO In 2025, all Allies are expected to meet or exceed the pre-summit target of investing at least 2% of GDP in defence, compared to only three Allies in 2014. Over the past decade, European Allies and Canada have steadily increased their collective investment in defence – from 1.43% of their combined GDP in 2014, to 2.02% in 2024, when they are investing a combined total of more than USD 485 billion (adjusted to 2021 prices) in defence. I know you want some minimal credit for going from almost nothing to one percent but to 5% is a massive lead

How so? CPI went down… I don’t see any disruptions in food supply. I don’t see businesses saying oh my gosh we can’t even do business because we don’t have workers now. Either way your argument ends up being supporting and exploiting illegal labor. Tell me how that helps American workers?

You could make that argument, but at the end of the day you have to come to grips with the fact that only one entity in that equation is breaking the law… So you can’t really later complain that you’re not making enough money

Oh, for God sakes, we were never leaving NATO. You guys clutch your pearls at everything he says, but what ended up happening? He got them to raise their monetary input into their own defense. In other words, it worked. They interfere, we interfere, other countries interfere Both times Putin attack. It was under democratic presidents. That’s a fact you’re just not going to be able to piddle away.

I’m not doing anything. Businesses that made the choice to exploit cheap labor against our country’s laws are paying a price. That’s on them.

For liberals their perfect country is we sneak in millions upon millions of illegals, pay those people five dollars an hour to do the jobs we wont do (proven false), but triple the minimum wage for OUR workers….crushing american small businesses.

This is a level of delusion I don’t even know where to start with. From “weakening” NATO by making them pay for their own defense or the fact you conveniently forget liberals used the Russians to pump out a false narrative about Trump to try to win an election? There’s almost no facet of your post thats factually correct.

Its bizarre. They are trying to treat one of the most corrupt nations on the planet like they are England FFS.

You mean letting countries fight their own wars? Yeah, that’s generally how it works. You can’t protect yourself you better have a plan to get out of there before they march down your block and knock on your door. Sniffy the clown has had many opportunities to save his people, he wants to fight a losing war… and let’s not forget the whole reason Ukraine wasn’t allowed in NATO in the first place. Corruption.

Here’s what I do know. This war will end under Trump‘s administration. It would not have under Joe’s and in fact, we would be spending billions of dollars and sending equipment to the front lines constantly. The Democratic strategy was basically fighting a proxy war that had no end point and had no problem starting under yet another democratic administration. none of those things you’ve listed are as embarrassing as allowing so many people to die, re-drawing maps, and spending the money we don’t have.

Hold on let me see, which is more embarrassing. Correcting yourself on something you said after the fact, or allowing a war thats kill hundreds of thousands of people that didn’t have to die? Costing OUR country billions, and the planet has to redo maps. Give me a little bit to think about which one’s worse. JFC

It’s always funny to listen to Democrats complain about how to handle Russia when they’ve literally taken over new land and we have to redraw world maps because they keep taking over land under their watch. Probably a subject you need to sit this one out.

So by every media outlet all these companies coming back investing billions of dollars is made up? That’s what you’re trying to go with here? All these trade deals that have been struck with countries and then flocking over here the last six months to do so. That’s all made up? No venom here I’m not blasting you or anything, but I don’t think you can say the market surge we are seeing is because an anticipated rate drop that hasn’t happened. I mean quite honestly, all of the things you guys said would happen never actually happened and quite the opposite

That’s actually a good question. Leaving politics out of it I guess yes? like I just turned 51 in June. So there is starting to creep in a lot more thoughts of my own mortality I guess. We are 10 years from retiring and that actually terrifies me because it’s that usually means there’s not a whole hell of a lot left. Kids are all gone, etc. there’s a lot of things I can still go do but like I always said the hard part about getting old isn’t that I can’t open new doors like learning to play the piano or learning a new language. The hard part is that doors I used to go in all the time for fun or excitement. I just can’t do anymore like sports. (Injuries lately) I mean, I still play video games for Gods sake.. So happy in the fact that there’s a lot I don’t have to deal with anymore in my younger days like climbing some stupid corporate ladder or just money in general, but they’re definitely things that scare me a lot more than what they did. I’ve always said I only have one thing left to do and that’s walk three girls down an aisle. Past that im good. That prospect feels like it gets more real by the second.

Actually, it reflects pretty much everything. If businesses weren’t coming back in droves like they are, it would be down. If they weren’t investing in America now, unlike before they would be down. If the tarriffs werent working, it would be down. The market is betting on rate cut? It keeps going up despite the rates not going down. I disagree. It is a very much Republican philosophy versus democratic. Heck the markets up almost 500 points again today. It is absolutely cruising. I don’t know how anyone could say. It’s not a reflection of conservative policy by Trump.

Well, what’s more likely. The CPI and the people that do this for living with the market are all wrong or that you guys are right? I’ll take what the markets doing and what businesses are doing and what countries are doing long before I listen to what Democrats think of it.

No, no no. You guys don’t get off that easy. You guys said we would be in a recession, the market would crash and prices would go through the roof. None of that has happened. Y’all complained about egg prices and then he brought them down. Gave him no credit for it of course but to act like oh well he didn’t actually bring anything down so it doesn’t count is laughable. Shoot, he almost hit 45,000 today on the market and wait till that idiot finally brings the rates down. Will be at 50 a month after it probably

That is one of my favorite jokes. Just tremendous

Been a while since I’ve been on here. Hope you guys are all doing well… I know the drill hah.. 1. “Who are you? Or 2. Rats ass. thought I’d run this by you guys. We’ve had our fantasy league for I think over 25 years now and one of the guys is in his 30s. This is effing awful by the way. Early 30s just got married not long ago. They have a baby due in August. Found out couple weeks ago He’s got pancreatic cancer. Probably has six months. Obviously, on a personal level we are offering anything we can do that sort of thing. I think he’s going to play in our league this year. I guess my thought is if he plays even a little bit, do we just let him win out?. Or should we see if he makes playoffs? (I’m aware these are very trivial, but just seeing what you guys thought on how to handle something like this if it’s happening in your league?)

Damn, there’s some people that took a pretty heavy weight to the face on that backside

Hah never had one alias in 20? years…Something like that.
