How do you know when the cultmob has no intelligible answer? Guess!

In the last quasi-interview Trump always true to his inner self that just can't stand anywhere near the objective factual reality like mercury and water, tried to invent another false narrative: of him "being tough" on Putin while others bear responsibility for his aggression. As always it just isn't compatible with the facts so a false narrative made for his following and to confuse some in the population. 1. Trump assistance to Ukraine in his term was nothing out of ordinary, although it's a fact that he began supplies of lethal aid. After unprecedented in the post-WWII Europe "annexation" of a part of an independent European nation, the response of liberal elites in Europe and North America was weak and grossly inadequate. It certainly contributed to the perception of weakness of the West by the Russian regime increasingly on the path of aggressive chauvinism after invasion of Georgia, that was just shrugged off. 2. Trump had very much engineered the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan that cemented that perception. It is true that the mission was entering a dead end scenario, but Trump's solution only exacerbated the overall security situation in the world. He thinks only about how his acts would reflect on himself and never, about their consequences. Earlier he withdrew a large part of U.S. military mission in Syria, reinforcing the impression of West's weakness yet again. 3. He's plainly lying trying to make Putin's invasion about Ukraine in NATO. It is a fact, objective and documented that his 2021 ultimatum was to NATO, not Ukraine. NATO was Putin's target and Ukraine was supposed to be a whipping boy to demonstrate his superiority. The parallels between Putin's attitude and Trump's comments on NATO cannot be missed and may not be a coincidence. 4. Unlike anything what Trump did in his term, the course of Biden and the European allies though overcautious in my view, is working. Putin simply forgot about NATO, a memory wipe and is suffering a setback upon setback in Ukraine. 5. Trump wants to undermine the international isolation of the Putin's regime and quite possibly, reward it in some way either by reducing hep to its victims or by giving it what it wants. He and his associates are on the record saying as much, yet again playing straight into the hands of brutal dictators, while doing little to stop them. 6. To any normal person it is obvious that grotesque acts like those of Putin and Hitler cannot be excused, explained or trivialized. Putin alone is responsible and carries all responsibility for his heinous acts and those of his henchmen. He is a war criminal under international arrest warrant. There can be no justifications, nor excuses for his crimes. How can it be not obvious, and to who? At what point, coincidences are just too many? And the admirers of brutal thugs can become their helpers and abetters: factually?

"deliberate obtusion" a common behavior of a lying cult convert when faced with an objective fact that isn't compatible with their virtual reality. Putin's "interviews" and Trumps are of the same one kind. Obviously. No obtusion needed.

Is deliberate ignorance a flimsy excuse or same as plain old lying? In countless posts he peddled the lie, blatant and boldface of a "stolen election". He called his followers to protest over something he invented single-handedly from his fat cheeks and lying mouth, with none other factual grounds. How can one forget or miss that? Just wow. Trump summoned supporters to wild protests

He sees no difference. The only factor is what helps him be and stay in the limelight. Literally, nothing else matters.

That would the the reality, any trace of it for the cultmob in its alternate dreamscape. So annoying, right

I'm so tired with the little lying tricks and gimmicks of the cultmob, sudden onsets of dumbness, instant switches and forgetting the context, grasping for completely unrelated and mostly false if not deliberately misleading parallels sometimes it feels like a toothache embodied in the domain logic and rational argument. Yeah, the reality has to take us through these checks once in while or how would we know that we're still sane in this universe? We need it and there's no way around it. Bring it on.

This is his private service (with shareholders) and he showed his bias, without even trying to pretend impartiality or restrain influence. It is now in the same clade as numerous MAGA sites and platforms. Why would anyone use them, running the risk of being represented and abused by the mob? No there definitely are better options.

If any leader would have a following this disgusting, it would already be a cause for concern. There's much truth in that clip. This election would really be revealing, I would say a referendum on democracy, nothing less. A population of careless spectators cannot and wouldn't be able to keep democracy. It requires, always, involvement, awareness and responsibility, proven countless times since Rome. By now, there's no chance that anyone who can think for themselves couldn't or wouldn't know what it is about. So come the election time every vote cast for Trump will be the one to end democracy. No spreading fears no exaggerations, only the logic: if we accept it as normal, it will become the new normal. And from there, one of the future liars and thugs would take it all the way to Venezuela. Why wouldn't they? Who would be there to stop them? So a simple: no can't be simpler really and very necessary plebiscite on democracy and the commitment of the society, the people to it. Nothing more and not less. A real and consequential citizenship test.

If Musk wants to use his platform as a tool and platform for political promos for a certain cult sure why not. Maybe his shareholders will be excited or otherwise. But surely it's got very little to do with an impartial and objective information source and social network. Sure, he can.

Also, being a genius he timed it right next to his suit against advertisers. Now the service can be perceived as politically affiliated and advertisers will have a material cause to avoid it. If a porn site attracted 100M subscribers could it sue for an ad revenue share from baby powder businesses? For some reason, there's a recurring pattern of misrepresenting, debilitating impairment (like total memory loss) and dumbness associated with this agenda. Why could that be?

One has to be either of: a) impaired b) confused or c) deliberately misrepresenting (d, all of the above) to pretend to forget that he was suspended for a reason: like peddling the lie of the "stolen election" and inciting the crowds that caused real harm. I've no idea about the latter. But to pretend, innocently that it had anything to do with political censorship is quite dishonest. And I see no point in engaging with anyone who is either incapable or not intending a genuine discussion. There's so much cr*p around already and would be the point on wasting one's precious time on it?

For the record I don't worship Biden and Harris; they are far from prophets and I don't agree with all they did or propose. And I couldn't care less if they went for an election promotion in a friendly talk show, sure many politicians do that. But then, it has to branded honestly as such, a political promotion event, nothing to do with normal journalism, "an interview". And recorded as such, under all the rules, in democracy. Liars always lie and will try to throw smoke and confusion. Why? Because they have nothing to say. This the reason why they avoid any meaningful, rational discussion.

This is again an assertion, not a fact. Not all politicians are all same. Not all politicians are compulsive liars. Not all politicians refused to acknowledge their defeat in democratic elections; not all made efforts to overturn them. Not all politicians are felons convicted by their citizens. So no: not factual, false. A stretch of a lowest standard, like who cares and why. As usual, of course. Nothing great as arguments go.

There's a thin line between persistent lying and perpetual mental degradation (aka, dumbness) just in case. The connection between these performances is of course obvious to anyone who can see and think for themselves: they have nothing to do with the reality; honesty; objectivity; and truth and everything, with propaganda. This has nothing to do with honest journalism. Putin, Kim and every decent thug around has people and shows for that. There's nothing here we couldn't have known.

Up to this clause, it was quite an accurate descriptions. The so called socialist camp was one big prison camp though. Not very different in essence; still another flavor of totalitarianism. Between the two, there isn't a good one.

And just in case: no we cannot forget the reality, no other then Vladimir Putin (aka international thug, war criminal under international warrant) simply loves to do such "interviews" annually. In a fully controlled, assuredly friendly environment, no hard questions - and how else, in a "democracy"? Reminds us of something? There's no need to draw parallels: they are right before our eyes. There's nothing here we didn't know.

For the sake of the country, the convicted liar could have stepped aside, it just could have given his party a zipline to victory. He would never do that, in a wildest of imagination, would he? "For the sake of the country", right.

So "for the sake of the country" is the magic work. Hear, hear.

It's not just that. It is also a deep misunderstanding and mistrust of democracy. They like to think and convince their following that it's nothing more than a mob rule (that they could then control). This is what can be the common basis and platform for sympathy and understanding with totalitarian thugs of all kind.

Lying lying liars, they just forgot "after" ohoh: Offer to Kamala Harris After Trump Interview. What could they do but lying? Just in case, I didn't use it much anyways cancelled it today.

Quite possibly. I'm not a fan of that platform either way, but it just shows how easily these things can be turned into ideological and political instruments. And now Musk came out of all pretense of impartiality as its owner.

As its owner Musk announced an interview with one of the presidential candidates. The line between social media and advancement of political agendas is becoming very thin. At this point, former Twitter seems to be little more than its owner's private media channel; or so he thinks of it.

Aka bullsh*t. That is, no answers. It's sad to see seemingly reasonable folks hand over their brains voluntarily and in good faith but oh well. Happens all the time. What can you do.

For the real situation with military aid to Ukraine one can check AP fact check and Congressional reports. It is true that Trump initiated direct U.S. state military assistance to Ukraine; it is not true that it was the first lethal aid to Ukraine, nor that it has any decisive impact. Ukraine military assistance funding, in two streams remained mostly constant across Obama and Trump administrations (Congress report). While aid flowed to Ukraine during Trump years he's done nothing extraordinary halting Russia's aggression and making it respect the international law. It's a different conversation about Obama's position on Russia's first invasion and lethal aid. But it was characteristic of the Western wishful thinking in that period and hardly partisan. The roots of Russia's first aggression against Ukraine in 2014 go to its invasion of Georgia in 2008, for which it escape all responsibility and that was under Republican G.W. Bush administration.
