[Ears and Eggs]

JD Vance was in a bad mood because he had a mishap in the morning while putting on his makeup and smudged his eyeliner.

A recent poll by The Economist/ Yougov taken between the 23rd and the 25th show that 78% do not trust Putin while 11% do. This should be obvious to anyone who is paying attention. Trump is a Putin sycophant. He has hated Zelenskyy since he got impeached the first time for his "perfect phone call."

Garry Kasparov, a chess grandmaster and Russian dissintent, who I studied back when I was in my early 20s made statements today saying that Trump made Vladimir Putin a very happy guy today. This is unbelievable!

 

[RedCowboy]

Trump will help end the war in Ukraine and save many lives.
You paul will find fault no matter what because you hate Trump.

 

[paul1598419]

You know, Ronald Reagan said we can have peace anytime. All it takes is surrender.

 

[RedCowboy]

You know Zelenskyy is corrupt and a lot of our weapons we gave Ukraine have ended up on the black market.

That is a right-wing narative that has no basis in fact.

No basis in fact....... paul you lie constantly.

" the inspector general report noted that after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year, the Defense Department’s ability to track and monitor all of the US equipment pouring into Ukraine, as required by law under the Arms Export Control Act, faced “challenges” because of the limited US presence in the country. "

" Criminals, volunteer fighters and arms traffickers in Ukraine stole some Western-provided weapons and equipment intended for Ukrainian troops last year "

" Ukraine’s intelligence services also disrupted a plot by arms traffickers working to sell weapons and ammunition they stole from the frontlines in southern Ukraine, as well as a separate plot by Ukrainian criminals posing as aid workers who stole $17,000 worth of bulletproof vests "

" Ukraine’s intelligence services discovered a group of volunteer battalion members who stole 60 rifles and almost 1,000 rounds of ammunition and stored them in a warehouse, “presumably for sale on the black market.” "

Just like any kind of crime, we only ever hear about a small fraction of it and with our difficulty in knowing what's going on, there's bound to be a lot more of the same.

Sure, there is always a small diversion of weapons. It happens here in the U.S. and we aren't at war. Saying that we only ever see a small part is an assumption on your part.

 

[paul1598419]

The largest diversion I can remember was called the Iran/ Contra affair. Again, Reagan, who illegally sold weapons to Iran and used the proceeds to fund the Contras. Also illegal.

It's a good watch. Man I remember watching it with my mom and sister and grandmother. I like the old stuff better than the new. Just thought I'd share this.

The Biden admin. is responsible for the disastrous Afghanistan pullout where we left countless small arms, medium arms and vehicles including attack helicopters and even tanks behind for the freaking terrorist.

We have done enough waste in Ukraine and yes there has been fraud, Biden and his junkie son have profited from corruption in Ukraine as well, it's time for the bloodshed to end, we are not getting rid of Putin this way.

After yesterday, Trump and Vance are The Real Housewives of the White House.

 

[RedCowboy]

On a lighter note, this is the last weekend before Fat Tuesday and Ash Wednesday so Mardi Gras is going on down on Bourbon Street, I haven't been in years but it was always a good time, crowded but fun.

Thank God and the majority of American voters, we have a real President again and I am Proud of J.D. Vance as well, Vance will make a Fantastic President in 2029...... USA, USA, USA..... FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT...... MAGA FOREVER BABY..... YEA !

 

[RedCowboy]

Getting prices down will take time, if it's even possible, but putting the brakes on inflation is achievable and I have high hopes that Trump and DOGE will make strides towards that end, also a tax rebate sounds good.
