So you think it was a fair trial, in an unbiased venue, with an unbiased judge?
There you go again. ::)

Rather than breaking the US apart, I'd rather see us re-affirm the Constitution where most of the power resides with the States.
Maybe even go further in limiting the power of the Feds to National Defense and certain infrastructure (think Interstate Highways and the power grid), and I'm not even sure about giving them control of the power grid.  Departments like the EPA and Education would be eliminated or reduced to a supporting role only and available to help the States "ON REQUEST" and without strings.  There are some problems that are too big for a state to tackle alone, or shouldn't have to tackle alone, like border protection and water rights.  Georgia should not be allowed to dam up the Chatahoochee and choke Alabama and Florida.

But I see the odds of either to be about the same as the odds of peace in the Middle East.  We will become a 2nd or 3rd rate county in a world ruled by strong, decisive leaders (eg: China, Russia or some other dictatorship).

I’m not going to judge Jim unless I find out he voted for Biden.  But you’re right, I’m not sure this country can recover from this. Now that the precedent has been set, no one will run for president or a high government office ever again who isn’t in with the Uniparty, for fear of literal prison under spurious made up charges. The weaponization of the “justice” system against anyone they don’t approve of is complete.

Which part should I elaborate on?  The fact that Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts, or my prognostication that there will be battles ahead?

Zelensky declared martial law the morning after Russia invaded this last time. Ukraine's parliament has been voting to extend it every 90 days or it lapses. The last vote to extend Ukrainian martial law for another 90 days was on May 8.

Petro Poroshenko was president of Ukraine before Zelensky and he had declared Ukrainian martial law in 2018 for 30 days after Russia fired upon and seized three Ukrainian naval vessels and their crews.

Russian aggression was the common element in those declarations, not the person who was president at the time and definitely not Blinken.
Got it, so Zelensky was the one that initially declared and you believe Blinken is not pulling the strings over there.

I think the question is, who declared marshal law?

Any bets on how quickly Niki strikes and claims she should now be the candidate?

It has nothing to do with bases. You are using anything and everything to avoid the truth, jim.

DEMOCRATS need to stop running wars to keep their donors in the MIC flush with cash from our pockets.

Anyone who dares speak the truth you brand as "Putin Talking Points" to try to deflect criticism.  You apparently now support totalitarianism forms of government.  And add in you are now a war monger.
When it comes to Zelensky, you rarely speak the truth. Zelensky, Zelensky, and Zelensky are your main talking points. You constantly make claims that don't stand up under close scrutiny.

All because you need a reason to argue against spending our money to aid Ukraine. I agree that we shouldn't fund some other country's defense. In the case of Ukraine that policy decision should have been made and communicated well before Russia invaded Ukraine. Once a commitment is made and support is later started then any cessation will be taken by an aggressor like Putin as confirmation that he need merely wait out his enemies in all future conflicts. Totalitarian states like China, Iran and North Korea will take away the same lesson.

The US is estimated to have about 750 military bases in 80 countries and there are a mix of implicit and explicit commitments the US has made regarding their use. The US needs to get out of them now - before any fighting starts. This article is worth reading on the problem:

Use of plural "opponents" presumes facts not in evidence. Name one politician, other than Viktor Medvedchuk, who has been arrested?

If banning parties means a country is not a democracy worthy of support, tell me what this action means:

Always on the wrong side, jim.

Communists like radical islamists are our sworn enemy. Your jimmy fucking carter impression isn’t working.
