Tyrants hate it when you make a point they can't rebut.

If you post a response that others don't agree with, did you really post a response?

Why? Honest question.
I reviewed the AO rules again and don't see a rule against it. Is there one that I am missing?

Republicans……
I’m almost willing to bet a bottle that the reds take the senate as well.
Not a red wave…. But control of congress nuts Biden
Honestly…. That’d be the most eloquent display of democracy by the US
‘We don’t like Trump crazy…. But we gotta put the brakes on the old guy.’
Force em to work together….

Had a friend working elections yesterday. You wouldn’t believe the number of people who called asking how to register to vote or if they could still register. Come on people every year 2nd Tuesday of November is Election Day. Every 2 is midterms every 4 is primaries. Figure it out and plan ahead to register before the day off and then claim your vote was suppressed because of your p poor planing! Never understood why so many find it so complicated! I could maybe understand first time new voters but grown adults in their 30s+?? Come on!!

One of the bits thrown out by the Media was that a Republican victory would result in decreased support for Ukraine, tough to tell what's real or just misinformation these days.

I totally agree and see it the same way.
In a 2 party system where the sides have become so deeply polarized and entrenched like they are - this is the only reasonable solution to get some balance back.

Is Republican opposition to supporting Ukraine a true Republican perspective or just a blatant opposition to the Democrat flavor of the day?
I think a Republican administration would have reacted similarly toward Russia.
And Democrats would oppose support of Ukraine.

I think real small c conservatives would still support Ukraine.
Populist pro trump republicans will support trump.. and trump will support isolationism
‘Because it costs too much”…. None of our business….
Some (even some here) bought the troll farm line that Putin is right and Ukraine started it.
And he’s anti NATO
(But his point about needing Canada and others to finally pay their proper share is valid for sure)

Donald Trump is probably the Republican Party's greatest liability. Until the party as a whole accepts this, things won't improve for them.
It will have to get worse before it gets better.

Trump would have handed Ukraine to Putin on a silver platter

That’s a pretty wild accusation with nothing to back it up.
Some would say if Trump were in power , Putin wouldn’t have made the move he did.

You are still setting yourself up as some sort of mystical mind reader. You can speculate that the Trump admin may not have been helpful to Ukraine ( I seriously doubt they wouldn’t have helped them in every way) but you make your statement as if you have the inside track and know these thing ( again I seriously doubt that) .
By the way Biden initially held back a 100 million dollar military aid package to Ukraine before the Russian invasion as well so let’s just say the past is the past and you have no idea what Trump,Clinton or a President (passage of time) Harris would have done
Edit: I doubt Biden made any decisions on Ukraine as I don’t think he is fully aware of what is going on there or anywhere else . I mean he continuously refers to Kamala as President Harris

Perhaps, but a more level-headed Republican president with no self-serving motives likely would not, IMO.

Nonsense.
You may have noted an absence of war while Trump was in power, versus the constant stuff with Biden in charge. Trump was pretty good at negotiating and his administration actually set up some great peace deals in the middle east.
The Biden crew is a foreign policy nightmare and everything they touch turns to sh$&.
Here is a pretty good synopsis of Ukraine and Russia:
https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/compl...e-ukraine-war/
It is very possible that if Biden and crew were doing more than politicking the entire war could have been averted.

Lol. Trump was holding Putin’s pocket. There was no conflict with Putin, because Trump was essentially his lapdog. I have other descriptive terms to describe the relationship, but I got banned for those in the past.

I absolutely agree with that statement. Look what he has done in a Middle East…. Peace agreement between Israel and 4 Arab countries! That’s not a joke!

Regardless of how people feel, what they think, or want to perceive as true, Russia did not invade Ukraine while Trump was president.

Has nothing to do with Trump. Russia didn’t invade before Merkel left her post. That matters a lot more.
Trump could have ended it when he was in office, he didn’t. The rest, as far as if this then that is concerned, doesn’t really matter.
