14. Not so sure.

In the end, Putin's Trump-era Ukraine strategy failed because of the Zelenskyy election as well as the Great Genius of his American allies. I think Putin sensed a weak spot in Germany with a new chancellor last winter, hence the timing of the invasion. It almost succeeded, but not quite.

He has got to be stopped by any means necessary. He is a clear and present danger that somehow is allowed to have another run at the presidency.

It’s like inviting Jeffery Dahmer over for dinner and telling him you got the ketchup.

47. You do know that Garland can't indict anyone...

...Right?

Only grand juries can do that.

If they're not indicting, it's because they're not convinced that an indictment is warranted at this time. Maybe it's because they're not convinced a crime is there to indict but it could ALSO mean that they don't think they've gotten the full picture of what charges they will need to indict on. Or there's the possibility that, just when they think they're about to wrap things up, well, here's more criming to get to the bottom of.

Could be lots of reasons for whatever they're up to, and the secrecy built into the process means we can't know what's going on.

10. This POS should be in prison.

At the very least banned from running. No good will come of this. The media is going to blast his poison day in and day out. God only know what Musk will allow from this toxic waste dump. Someone who had the power should have forced him to comply with rule of law and they didn’t and our democracy will suffer. The GOP will end up in lockstep because their propaganda machines will dictate it. God help us. This is not a game. Popcorn shouldn’t be popped. This is an evil dictator trying to grab the microphone and power.

28. We always hear

And it is true, that we can not convict of treason unless we are at war. Well, last night around 9:30 there was a “declaration of war against the United States” and was cheered on around the country. Whether it was shown on MSM or not, it was declared against our country and democracy. Again, by the same asshole. And will he be held to account? The constitution says shoot to death the treasonous perp. Are we a country of laws, as stated in the constitution, or are we a joke? Is the oath taken with hands on the BuyBull as valid as trumps would to debtors, or wives?
Let the war cries fester at our own risk. Or take the enemy out now.

43. Two things:

1) The Ukrainian "gains" consist of land that was theirs to begin with. They are still down a large chunk of their country.

2) And, making a deal with Putin is worthless because his word is worthless.

Fortunately, President Zelenskyy knows this.

It's called the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, and it needs to be fucking enforced!

Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.
