Aristides

I did. This was a commencement address. Basically he was telling all the female graduates that they had just wasted four years of their time because they should all want to be making babies and be homemakers. It isn't my or your place to define women, have the courtesy to leave that to them.

Ukraine independence was supposed to be guaranteed by the Budapest Memorandum signed by Ukraine, Russia, the US and UK. It's obvious that the only guarantees that stand up are those backed by force.

Oh, I do and they do.

Women need to know their place and more men like Butker to tell them what that place is.

Where is a good guy with a gun when you really need one?

If an appeal is granted. Appeals are granted on whether the original trial involved legal errors, not whether a particular witness " fell flat".

The jury will decide who fell flat and who didn't. They include a retired wealth manager, an investment banker and a civil litigator. It will be hard to bullshit them and other jurors will likely look to them for guidance when it comes to the legal technicalities of finance and business.

He is a walking jingo with a bunch of pet phrases that he just repeats over and over. Basically, everything broken, everything bad. I don't get any sense of what he is really about.

Like I said, you drink yours and I’ll drink mine.

This was my seventh. You drink your Kool-Aid and I’ll drink mine.

Just had a booster today.

Not a PP fan, would feel better about the Conservatives if they had a different leader.

Yet your posts on all the Ukraine threads say otherwise.

Yes cheer, your sympathies are a matter of record. You should try being truthful yourself.

Yet you cheer for the guy who started this war.

If Biden was being prosecuted under a Trump administration, do you seriously think Trump would not weigh in and shoot his mouth off about it? Nothing in his history suggests he wouldn't be all over it, quite the opposite.

If you can do all your work from home, you can probably be replaced by AI.

When politicians talk about "paying their fair share" they mean someone other than their intended audience.

This argument applies just as much to Australia, most of the country is sparsely populated with the bulk of the population in the south eastern part of the country. I don't think there is any doubt we are top heavy when it comes to government. We have more senators than the US with over eight times our population.

For sure that isn't an intelligent response. So you think a president should able to do what ever they want, including giving billions worth of arms to foreign countries without approval from Congress? You sure sound like MAGA to me. Politics is the art of the possible.

Your response hasn't refuted anything I have said.

The MAGA crowd wants to abandon Ukraine altogether, spare me your phoney concern for Ukraine.

Your version of history is based on your version of facts.

Putin denied he was going to invade. Giving Ukraine weapons beforehand would have just been used as a provocation to invade. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/12/russia-kremlin-ukraine-nato-threats-521031 Trump negotiated the deal with the Taliban to leave Afghanistan. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51692546 Your 20/20 revisionist hindsight is impressive.

So you are arguing that politics doesn’t affect political decisions? The usual actors are accusing Biden of being a war monger just because he supports Ukraine’s fight for its own sovereignty. It wasn’t Biden who held up the aid bill to provide Ukraine with more support. Why do you think Biden could have stopped the invasion?
