    Yeah... I doubt Tucker is brave enough to fly coach... let alone do what Lindbergh did... :confused:

    My problem with Tucker is that he drums up division by insulting his targets. His disdain for the left, and some on the right, is palpable.

    But he does have a knack for spotlighting the hypocrisy of the liberal left... and his audience laps it up.

    They try to have it both ways, criticize Biden for not coming down on Russia but praise Trump who thinks Russia is doing something wonderful. It makes no sense

    And Joe Biden threatened to withhold one billion to protect his son Hunter.

    Biden got his way... Trump didn't.

    I totally agree that the Chinese leadership is smelling like the rats they are. And I have no doubt now that leaving open the option of invading Taiwan is much more important to them than losing their financial investments in Ukraine. This does not negate that these were not 100% settled questions early in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. And that, even if there was only a 1% possibility of slowing down the march toward war, it may have been worth a long shot of letting them know some details of what was going on to avoid the terrible bloodshed.

    Point to who praised Trump for saying Russia is "doing something wonderful"...

    You have an amazing inability to grasp nuance.

    You know this view is totally debatable.

    I never said we’re not a net exporter of gas, but we don’t export nearly enough to supply Europe and ourselves or else they wouldn’t have went under the Russian thumb.
    The Ukrainians got their money. And it’s not my theory, it’s a fact that there is likely a reason beyond coincidence as to why Putin has aggressively advanced to take over territory under Biden and Obama and not Trump. You can draw whatever theory you’d like.

    I would welcome such a debate.

    *spoiler alert: they were both impeachably wrong... imo.

    This is a prime example of taking things out of context, and spinning it to your desire.

    Gotta respect Zelensky for not doing the cut and run.

    He's out in the streets among his citizens to show support.
    Can you imagine a U.S. President doing the same?

    They're handing out automatic rifles like candy... don't they know assault rifles should be banned?

    Net exporter=/=exporting as much as we could to cripple Russia's stranglehold on the industry, an industry which is responsible for something like 40% of their GDP. The EU is only terrified to sanction Russia because of their reliance on them for oil.

    Lol, tv stops showing big bright explosions for 15 minutes and the political a-dd go right back to trump vs Biden. Both fox and cnn were right back on it. I thought the political devide in this country was also of Russian origin?

    Somehow I doubt the US industry is leaving dollars on the table. I suspect they'd export as much as they possibly could, since ... well forever

    Either way I'm not sure how Joe Biden could do anything about that. He's a 80 year old politician, not a petroleum engineer
