    I guess all that's true on some planet.

    Only problem is, this is Earth.

    You don't know much about the US or the political situation here on the 70s and 80s either.

    Russia was always a (rather incompetent) enemy for you. Partially due to American foreign policy and which stupid wars it decided to partake in.
    The funny thing about the cold war wasn't America's fear of Russia, or its people, but its economic model.


    OH NO!!!! commies!!!

    Extreme right wing, graduated the schoolyard school of bully, xenophobic, racist, sociopathic, narcissistic, dumb. Yup, right wing. Republican? Probably not very, but don't tell me: tell all the republicans who voted for him.

    You must have slept through the last year.

    Trump is the standard bearer of the Republican Party.

    He won 70% of the delegate votes at the Republican National Convention.

    The Republican House and Senate have been in lockstep with almost every decision he has made.

    You made it, you own it.

    Or maybe you're the one who isn't a real Republican? Are you one of those RINOs?

    Don't you think it might have something to do with Russia's aggressive incursions against Georgia and Ukraine, their indiscriminate bombings in support of the brutal Syrian regime, their criminal hacking of American computer systems, their ongoing efforts to flood Western media with disinformation, etc. etc. ???

    I doubt any major Republican office holder in the United States if left to his own devices would choose Donald Trump as their standard bearer.

    But they all did. He is the standard bearer and they all support it. They did nothing. The Republicans didn't fight against him at all. Jeb! rolled over and played dead for Trump.

    He said John McCain was a loser and McCain still supported him. He made crazy claims about the father of Ted Cruz. Yet Cruz is still backing him to this day. He sparred continuously with Paul Ryan and now not a peep out of Ryan about anything Trump has done.

    They might have waffled here and there but none of them took a firm stand against him except for maybe Kasich. Even Romney eventually rolled over and allowed himself to be Trump's dog.

    What would a "firm stand against Trump" by the Republicans take the form of?

    As far as I know the majority of Trumps actual policies are in line with what most of the GOP has supported.

    So, he walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and tries to disenfranchise the poor and swarthy in a generally duck-like fashion, but you were still trying to argue that in some fashion he is not actually a small aquatic bird of the genus Anatidae?

    After WWII, the warmongers got Truman's ear right quick and he got rid of people like Henry Wallace who wanted to beat swords into ploughsharers. The Korean War sealed the deal and the US simply stayed on a war footing. Well that's impossible without a bogeyman. And Stalin sure fit the bill. This served nicely until the USSR fell apart. Then the US switched to Saddam Hussein and various lesser dastards.

    Putin isn't exactly my choice for the person I'd most like to be stranded on a desert island with, but he'll do to keep the military/industrial complex going. Donald or no Donald. If necessary, they'll find somebody else -- Kim, whoever.

    So I'm on my guard when the United States fulminates against Vladimir Putin. I'll take my information about the guy from other sources, thanks all the same.

    @Dayton3 is not a white supremacist. He's a Dayton supremacist--no one is better than he is, in his own opinion.

    Technically I would be included in that description.

    Yet I'm unaware of any attempt to take away my right to vote.

    Own a car? You're wealthy compared to many. You look pretty pink in your avatar: not swarthy at all.

    I'm pretty dark complected.

    I actually own two cars and two trucks. Though to be fair one truck and one car were inherited.

    The pasty white thigh you're resting your right arm on in your profile pic says otherwise. :lol:

    I was talking about my face. Given I pretty much wear pants or jeans all the time, naturally my legs are going to be pale.

    And I don't believe in tanning.

    I think you'd look good with a tan. Try some of that lotion.

    wtf is with Dayton and the quotes around names?
    we have that button to put things into italics, bold or both for emphasis, so that can't be it.
    is it brain worms?

    I think it's supposed to be some kind of insult, as if putting quotes around their names takes away any authority because they can't prove who they claim to be. I don't know, it's Dayton. I probably just put more effort into figuring it out than he did creating it.
