Pretty much everything has fallen apart in this country since the progressive left democrats (with their puppet prez Biden) have taken over. They attacked our energy production, without having anything ready to take it’s place. That’s the lifeblood of our country and we can’t be successful without sufficient energy. Inflation is out of control because of the massive spending. Afghanistan was as huge disaster. There is now a serious problem in Ukraine, a stronger president would dealt with it before things got out of hand. Even the progressives themselves are having more difficulty (than usual) judging reality from fiction.
Most of us conservatives predicted this would happen and it has. This country’s brief flirtation with the progressives is OVER, the ‘22 elections are going to be a Dem bloodbath. $6-7 plus gas is the kiss of death for the left in this country for now.
Sorry progressives, your silly stupid platform has fallen on it’s @ss.

Sorry progressives, your silly stupid platform has fallen on it’s @ss. Sorry, but this is incredibly silly, misleading and false. Let's provide some accountability here. "They attacked our energy production" - No. The Keystone Pipeline was shut down for very valid environmental and public health reasons, like the nearly 400,000 gallon spill of tar sands oil in North Dakota in early 2019. The U.S. has plenty of domestic oil, but special interests and big oil companies control the narrative. It's not as simple as just go drilling and magically things will improve. Keep in mind gas prices started rising in the spring of 2020, not 2021. "Inflation is out of control due to massive spending" - Inflation is a global economic occurrence, not tied to a single country. Coming out of the global pandemic, consumer demand, global supply chain issues, labor disruptions and other variables contributed to rising costs. "Afghanistan was a huge disaster." A disaster? Maybe. Entirely at this administration's feet? No. For a myriad of reasons, not the least of which were backroom meetings by the former Secretary of State with the Taliban, as well as Trump himself. Here is a timeline of events as a refresher: www.factcheck.org/2021/08/timeline-of-u-s-withdrawal-from-afghanistan/ The short answer is that it's complicated navigating foreign policy with countries that don't have a history of peace, only internal and external conflict. 20 years was long enough. "A stronger president would have dealt with it." - ....How? Putin annexed Crimea in 2014. It's not like this is a new development. What did the precious administration do to counter him? Withhold aid from the country he's currently attacking? Instill the desire to remove the U.S. from NATO? This silly rhetoric sounds eerily like Lindsey Graham, who said this: "I miss Donald Trump. If Donald Trump were president, none of this crap would be going on because you got to be strong. When you’re weak is when everything falls apart. And Biden is weak and Trump was strong. I hope we have another election soon." This is the same president who declared Putin to be a "genius" and "very savvy" while he stated that Putin was engaging in a "peacekeeping" mission. But maybe more importantly, it's the same president, who in 2016, yes, 2016, removed the platform of giving defensive weapons to Ukraine at the Republican National Convention. You can be conservative, liberal, moderate, whatever you want to be....just don't be a joke that spreads misinformation on a repeated basis.

Sorry progressives, your silly stupid platform has fallen on it’s @ss. Insiders from the trump administration have said there is no doubt trump woulda pulled us out of NATO. maybe putin got antsy waiting. ps, must be painful being a far-right musician over the years. What are the people you have worked with.maybe 80% opposite of that? Must hurt when your brethren like Ted Nugent, Kid Rock and the Lynnyrd Skinnered replacement band can't make it to the hall. I'd be pissed 24/7 too.

Sorry progressives, your silly stupid platform has fallen on it’s @ss. I'm sure that's what the Republican party will spin out as it's narrative, but the truth is very different. last time I checked, Republicans and Trump voted for stimulus packages before leaving office. Not to mention, low labor force participation rates and a shift in employment following the massive layoffs during COVID-19, had led to a shortage of people willing to work low paying service jobs - leading to an increase in consumer prices. Not to mention, rising oil prices have led to increased shipping costs. Now only if the Republicans would have passed Build Back Better, then we could have tax credits for electric vehicles, loosening our dependence on Russian oil to power our economy. Oh well, I guess Trump and Lindsey Graham want us to support Russia by buying their oil. Maybe that's the real reason why they won't back efforts to lower carbon emissions.

Judging by your pivoting responses, you all know in your hearts this next election will not make you happy. Nobody is pivoting. I dissected every point you made, as did the next post. You're posting immature, psycho-babble rants that have no actual tangible proof of anything. It's wild conspiracy, pointless conjecture and the inverse of the thing you love to coin, TDS. Should we call it Irritable Biden Syndrome? Congratulations, we know you're a conservative. Tucker Carlson is plastered on Russian television as a de facto agent of the state. If you root for terrible people, that's on you. But you're doing everyone a disservice by spouting outright lies constantly.

They immediately condemned his comments. And then of course, he tried to clarify what he meant by his words.

It's a connection rooted in Trumpian ideology. I don't know who "they" are, but it's not the entire party, certainly. Hopefully you're not naive enough to believe that that condemnation extends much further beyond just public relations optics. And he can clarify all he wants. He said what he said, on more than one occasion. Cawthorn's fortunate to still have a seat in Congress.

It's alarming to see the GOP extend further right than previously thought with some of their new core members, combined with some of the dinosaurs that inhabit both parties.

I HIGHLY doubt there's anybody from the GOP that's happy that innocent people are being killed in Ukraine. I also doubt that there's anybody that's pro Putin invading Ukraine. There's idiots on both sides and Cawthorn's statement was definitely idiotic. I just don't think it's true there's a FACTION in the GOP that are "Pro Putin."

At the same time it's alarming to see the Democratic Party and how far some have extended to the extreme far left. Most everything goes both ways.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Every Republican voted against impeachment when given the choice over withholding military aid to Ukraine to prevent this exact type of situation from happening. Why? It's not because of their upstanding moral compass. Kevin McCarthy said "these are not Putin's gas prices, they are Biden's gas prices." This is in addition to EIGHT GOP members who traveled to Russia in July of 2018 to meet with high-ranking officials in the Kremlin, who all conveniently voted against election security bills KNOWING that Russian interference in our election had taken place. Follow the dots.

Do you just copy and paste "both sides" takes over and over and convince yourself it's real? The people everyone love to hate in the Democratic Party are AOC, Tlaib, Omar, etc. The people on the opposite side are Madison Cawthorn, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene....uh, yeah. I'll choose the side that doesn't think Hillary Clinton is a Satan worshipping cult leader, promotes over the top gun propaganda and worships Donald Trump.
