Biden has been as outspoken of a supporter of Israel for the last 50 years as you're likely to find.

There's no reason to show everyone your ass here, doc.

It's never stopped him before.

Buffoon of the United States, hey?

"Because everybody I speak to says how horrible it is, nobody explained to me how allowing millions of people from places unknown, from countries unknown, who don't speak languages," Trump said. "We have languages coming into our country. We have nobody that even speaks those languages. They're truly foreign languages. Nobody speaks them."


And then we wonder why 4Ever sounds like a babbling fool.  ;D

Does Putin winning help the Marquette cause?

Let SCOTUS decide.

Spaniel with a Short Tail

The current president is to be referred to as POTUS as the former president. Show a little respect for the office. That's part of being an American.

As to Putin, he is evil as were most of his predecessors with the possible exception of Gorbachev and maybe yeltsin. As someone of Eastern European heritage who has been behind the iron curtain in my youth, I pretty much broad brush my distaste for all things Russian. The more I learn about how they abused the USSR satellites until it dissolved deepens my distrust. I don't understand how Americans can have so rapidly forgotten the lessons of history. We need to confront Putin now and stop his expansionist actions while doing so is manageable. Think how many American lives would have been saved had we done so when hitler started his reign of terror.

In conclusion, IBTL.

Eh, part of being American is having the freedom to call the president a buffoon if you choose to do so while listening to the Milwaukee police scanner

You continue to back antisemites and those who support antisemites. It's really surprising, even for you.
The "Obama is running the White House", "Musk is a pawn", guy?

The only surprising thing is people believing 4Qver is still capable of a rational discussion.

My wife spent the first 19 years of her life in Poland behind the iron curtain and has extreme distrust and near hatred of anything Russian.
She said I'm almost worse than her and  my explanation is I was Rambo-ized in the 1980's.  Being born in late 1969 I was the right age to absorb all that anti-Russian sentiment.

Americans forgetting the lessons of history?  Well, to be fair, we're too stupid a people to learn anyway.  An educated people terrifies a lot of Americans who revel in ignorance

Yeah, I can definitely be guilty of that.  I think we all are to a certain degree and it takes discipline to ask why when it comes to your "team".

Unlike Dementia Don, Biden actually cares about people other than the one he sees in the mirror.


seriously???  that's why he took a year to visit ohio train derailment and has opened the spigots at the border for free flow of fentanyl, sex trafficking cartels, and unknown #'s of terrorists.  btw, you see the amounts of garbage and dogs these people are leaving behind??  now they're coming up with "free" everything for non citizens while our true citizens and vets continue to suffer ...yeah so caring

Wrong, hey?

Your hero is about to host Hungary autocrat Viktor Orban - yet another raging antisemite and racist - at his palace in Florida. They'll no doubt discuss how much fun it is to be a dictator, how they can continue to kowtow to Putin, and how your hero definitely isn't an antisemite despite the number of antisemites he wines and dines and supports and seeks support from.

This is exactly what's so funny to me about the engineered confusion on the right re confronting Putin.  You don't even have to have been paying attention for the last 35 years to get it right!  "Russian dictator ignores territorial integrity to invade Western ally.  US ally is able to halt Russian aggression while not asking for American troops, only military and economic support.  Should US write check? A. Yes B. No" Like, in what universe over the last two generations is any Republican confused about the correct answer to that question?

While he's a toad, I don't think Orban is truly an antisemite.  He's been buddy buddy with Netanyahu for decades and spearheaded a lot of Holocaust related memorials and revisionist history about Hungary's treatment of Jews during WW2.  I do think he's a racist nativist, but not so much an antisemite.  Funny enough, I actually think he's very much like Trump, an opportunist who will curry favor.  He's obsessed with hating his fellow countryman Soros and indulges every crazy theory about him and others who also hate him.

Both of them are very much "enemy of my enemy is my bestie", even if said mutual enemy is a scumbag.  Its certainly not an endorsement of ol corrupt Vik, but a distinction I think is worthwhile.

Like the former president, Orban has used language similar to Hitler's. Jewish organizations would disagree that it's not antisemitic.

I agree with the rest of your post.

Basically, "I don't hate him because he's Jewish but I will use his Jewish identity to slander him at every opportunity." Cynical antisemitism, really. But not because he truly hates every Jewish person. Or maybe he does! Who knows. A**hole nonetheless
