That’s a bold statement, Cotton.

I’ll personally take a centrist, possibly corrupt, neoliberal in a broken system over a murdering fascist leader of a totalitarian state all day and every day.

A bit like kalm's post on the "Russian Hannity". Sounds good on TikTok, but not in reality.

I don't think Trump is Satan but he is a narcissistic egomaniac who gets off on rallies like that. The irony of a MAGAt criticizing a Putin rally is rich.

Doesn't surprise me. Im guessing your a younger guy from your posts and its not surprising you would side with a weak guy. Most of you do in my opinion because you cant relate to a real man. Its your right and to each their own

What’s your definition of young? I’m 51. I feel much closer to 81 than 31 physically and psychologically.

How old are you?

How do you define “real man”? Please provide further examples.

Personally, I try and (guardedly) relate to all types. That’s called being human.

There is more to strength than sociopathic power over others.

Comparing those two and their rallies is like comparing oil and water. Nobody is getting their head chopped off if they don’t attend Trump’s rallies. They’re there because they truly WANT to be there.

Seems like you’re being very “klammy” and obtuse on this particular point.

On the surface, very similar to Trump rallies. And both sets of attendees are there because of the majority of media messaging they are fed. But one group is in agreement with the messaging, the other is not. :coffee:

So we have a stronger system. Hard to know for sure what a man is capable of.

Are we not to believe Trump’s praise of Putin?

Apparently Putin fired one of his hypersonic missiles to take out a weapons depot. Guy who posted it was saying Putin did it to warn NATO.

So one isn't as extreme as the other. Doesn't mean there aren't similarities despite attempts to deflect.

Take a look at Pwns response - that was well played.

And none of the deflections reduce the "irony of a MAGAt criticizing a Putin rally is rich."

Real men aren't bullies, which Putin is. Real men also don't sexually assault women, stiff their subcontractors, etc. The closest thing to a "real man" who ran in 2020 was Jo Jorgensen.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with rallies. The primary difference being those at a Putin rally are more than likely there at gunpoint. But that’s ok if you don’t see the difference….

Displaying a flag upside down is an international symbol of distress.

you're welcome. :coffee:
Don't you also need to tie a knot in the center of the flag for it to be an international symbol of distress?

No. And it may not be the same for other nation's flags, but the Flag Code says upside down is only for dire emergency.
