So humor me. Kindly answer the above to clarify and thus refresh my memory. Engage right here, right now. Please.

I have answered your questions on the subject of Russia's current invasion of Ukraine since it began three years ago. You have intentionally misconstrued my answers to the point where said answers are unrecognizable by me.

Most people would have put you on ignore a LONG time ago. But I continue to engage, as I will now. But, not on this column. I will return to the last FTP column where I will be happy to disucss all of this but NOT if you persist in the same behavior, such as just now when you accuse me of ducking your questions.

Also, I am busy at the moment with work-related projects so I may not have time until much later tonight.

Be good! :)

…I’m unwilling to plow through all that to refresh your memory. So let’s discuss something I don’t have to hunt for,

Of course, Biden remains completely wedded to the silly notion that it is in Ukraine's best interests to apply for NATO membership, so there's that. :(

1- What exactly is “silly” about it? Funny how ALL the former Warsaw Pact countries who rushed to join NATO didn’t and still don’t find NATO membership to be silly.

2- what would YOU have done that would have prevented Putin’s escalation of his 2014 invasion of Ukraine.

3- in 2007 Putin lamented the fall of the Soviet empire in 1991 and made it clear he wanted to correct this. So he invaded Georgia, Kazakhstan, Chechnya twice and others. He told you what he wanted to do and then did so over and over. So what should Biden have done that would have stopped him in 2022?

4- how would taking NATO membership off the table have been anything other than, Ukraine? Sure, we don’t care so help yourself!

The previous name calling was not cool, and I’ll endeavor to knock it the fuck off. Please understand that it came purely out of frustration that you duck answering questions like these.

Please, talk me out of this conclusion!

Why does Trump need to delete America's long built up soft power? A weak nation to match a weak man...

Worst. President. Ever.

Other FAA employees who were fired were working on an urgent and classified early warning radar system the Air Force had announced in 2023 for Hawaii to detect incoming cruise missiles, through a program that was in part funded by the Defense Department. It’s one of several programs that the FAA’s National Airspace System Defense Program manages that involve radars providing longer-range detection around the country’s borders.

National security is evidently far from a top priority with Melakon and his puppet Trump...

Jon Stewart says the media cried wolf with its 'fascist' attacks on Trump

The liberal comedian swiped the media's anti-Trump panic while taking a question from an audience member

""I'm very big on- and I know it's annoying, but specificity and nuance. And I think if you cry 'fascism' at every administrative overreach, even the ones that are constitutionally OK, you will find yourself out of fascism bullets when the time really comes.

So I am very cautious about when to know, like, yeah- hopefully I won't do it the night after Kristallnacht… but it's like when you put your dog down. It's one of those things, like, you're not quite sure, but I do understand how annoying that is."

You woke progressive Democrats are a dying breed, eh? :D

Senate advances nomination of Kash Patel, Trump's pick for FBI director

The Senate voted 48-45 to advance Kash Patel's nomination

The Senate voted Tuesday along party lines to advance the nomination of Kash Patel, President Donald Trump's pick for FBI director, clearing a procedural hurdle to set up a final vote on the controversial Trump ally to lead the federal law enforcement agency.

Lawmakers in the Upper Chamber voted 48-45 to advance Patel's nomination, as Democrats hold concerns that he would operate as a loyalist for the president and target the administration's political enemies.

This sets up a final confirmation vote later in the week. Some of Trump's other more controversial picks — including new Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — have received enough support from Republican lawmakers seeking to fall in line to push the president's agenda.

Woke progressive Democrats are simply impotent when trying to stop or even SLOW DOWN PRESIDENT Trump's MAGA agenda!! :D

I am always advocating that Democrats should get behind PRESIDENT Trump and HELP him in making America great again..

I guess it's not necessary anymore because woke progressive Democrats are not even a speed bump in slowing down the PRO America PRO AMERICAN agenda that PRESIDENT Trump is pushing...

In other words, I don't mind so woke progressive Democrats don't matter.. :D

REAL fact-checking... Not that BS crap "fact checking" that woke progressive Democrats always do...

FACT #1
Air Traffic Control for the Toronto area is handled by NAV CANADA and not the US FAA..

FACT #2
Elon Musk has not fired a SINGLE SOLITARY person

FACT #3
PRESIDENT Trump has not fired ANY FAA personnel

FACT #4
NOT A SINGLE SOLITARY Air Traffic Controller has been fired

Given these REAL and ACTUAL facts it would seem that your entire commentary is complete MOOSE POOP and has absolutely NOTHING to do with the objective reality of the here and now..

I'm just sayin'..

Personally, I think it's great..

Get rid of all the woke progressive Democrat morons before they can do even MORE harm to America and the American people...

This week, a plane flipped over while landing, but President Elon Musk decided it was still a good idea to go ahead with a mass firing of people who work for the Federal Aviation Administration. That's just the most prominent recent warning of how Musk's meat-axe approach to firing people could easily cause future problems. Big problems.

You DO realize that AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL duties for the TORONTO Area is handled by NAV CANADA, right??

So PRESIDENT Trump firing ATC and FAA personnel in the US has absolutely NOTHING to do with a plane crash that occurs in Canada..

You DO realize that, right?? :eyeroll:

I am ALSO constrained to point out that this particular plane crash was either pilot error or mechanical failure.

NEITHER of which had ANYTHING to do with Air Traffic Control..

Once again, your Trump/America hate and your PTDS gets in the way of your "reality based" commentary...

VERY rookie mistakes.. :eyeroll:

Just another sign of how 2025 CW is completely diametrically OPPOSITE of how 2010 CW would handle things..

I'm just saying..

I fear things will have to get pretty bad before the red parts of the map realise what's been done to them because of very restricted media and information sources and the distortions and downright lies they are fed.

You mean like the distortions and downright lies that woke progressive Democrats have been feeding the American people for the last 4 years??

"Biden is as sharp as a tack.."

You mean distortions and downright lies like that??

:eyeroll:

Face reality, lady...

Ya'all lost and now yer just pissing a bitch because PRESIDENT Trump is actually fulfilling his campaign promises and ya'all just can't stand it...

:eyeroll:

This is fundamental. You're absolutely right - "waste" may exist in the federal government, but one finds it with careful and objective audits, not a meat-axe blindly applied to an email list of probationary employees.

Yea??

Howz that been working so far??

:eyeroll:

You people are just whiney and bitchy because PRESIDENT Trump is actually doing something GOOD for America..

And you Trump/America haters HATE it when something GOOD gets done for America..

And you DOUBLY hate it when it's PRESIDENT Trump is doing the good..

:eyeroll:

The low-hanging fruit won't last forever. I hear the Pentagon is next.

I fear things will have to get pretty bad before the red parts of the map realise what's been done to them because of very restricted media and information sources and the distortions and downright lies they are fed. And even then the causes will be distorted. It will take local people and local campaigns on media local people will come across to break through.

The information that I routinely see on my feeds and in my news sources, for example, isn't going to be showing up in the feeds and news sources of someone who lives in Magatown Redstate unless they seek it out.

*Unfair to muskrats, I know. Possibly unfair to rats as well.

A lot of government work is both invisible and invaluable. It may seem like waste to those who don't think or ask beyond what they themselves think they know about the world in all its complexity. But few people know much about the world outside their own experiences. Here, Musk and Trump and the Republican Party in general are making a point of pride about their deliberate ignorance and lack of curiosity about what civil government, public service, and the incentives to work in the non-profit sector are all about.

It won't end well, as you say. But it remains to be seen, when the various disasters and horror shows happen this year, whether the public will draw the obvious conclusion that they were direct the result of this approach to government efficiency taken by this Republican administration.

And don't even ask about how hard it's going to be for a more rational and intelligent president and his/her administration to rebuild the Federal public service from the ground up, four years from now (God willing). As you say, anyone burnt once is twice shy, and younger people especially will have heard by then that the federal government is a sh** show to work for.

But why let actual facts and objective reality get in the way of a good hysterical factless rant.
