TBD. Trump has praised Putin (and other dictators) on several occasions. Trump has said he's okay with Putin (or other countries) invading NATO countries, and he wouldn't step in. After his election win, his son stated it would be the end of Ukraine's "allowance" from the US - a disgusting remark.

Trump is a pathological liar. Even if he tells us what he'll do, we won't know what he'll do.

Trump is a narcissist. If you praise him and stroke his ego, he'll be more likely to do what you want. It's not hyperbolic to say that Trump's position could be influenced if Putin offered Trump some beachfront property in Russia to develop a resort.

What a bizarre article.

But their fear is justified. Lots of hate in the US and world. Recent election has already emboldened many hateful people.

I'm likely average, middle of the road intelligence. Smart enough to get by and dumb enough not to excel at anything. I know a little about a lot of things and not a lot about one thing.

Americans asked for a plutocracy and by God they will get it.

Such a silly thing. I look forward to the day we judge each other based on the poppies we wear.

"White Poppy? Oh you're one of those woke veteran haters."

"Just a red poppy?? Wow didn't realize you were a racist."

Politicians will rejoice as they discover yet another silly non-issue to argue about.

Of course they were. That's one of the reasons behind why they did it and will continue to do it. Since when are executives ever held criminally accountable.

Depends on the type of immorality. Do you continue to age? If no, what age do you stop? Eventually the universe will die. So what happens to you then?

It might be fun for a while. Maybe even a long while. But that fun will be gone in an instant compared to the trillions and trillions of years you will float in a dark dying universe of nothing.

Where is Ja-Rule? Somebody please get ahold of Ja so I can make sense of all this.

tips fedora. Ah, a fellow articulate. I too galavant through Lemmy in search of stimulating discourse. Unfortunately, I am met with conversation that is most superfluous. Heh. You've probably correctly surmised my IQ is higher than most.

Good luck fellow intellectual. Let us further society.

There is nothing in this world more sensitive than a dictatorship.

It's also important the bot point out that it might be "center left" in the US. But what is "center left" in the US may be considered really right wing in many other countries.

I live in an increasingly dystopian capitalist world where simple necessities for life are increasingly challenging to obtain, while the pressure for higher productivity for less pay continues to increase.
