Why does Putin have so many fanboys in the American right wing?

You’re a liar, no one here at the Cooler is a Neo-Nazi. But I can see where people would think you were a card caring communist!

Says the person that loves Trump who loves putin...

Ergo you must be a putin fan boy.

Name one Democrat that has said nice things about putin.

Putin was counting on Trump destroying or greatly weakening NATO. Unfortunately, with Trump’s criminal incompetence (how he bankrupted a casino I’ll never know) and embarrassing meetings with NATO leaders, the alliance held strong.

Se what Condi Rice says about it. Of course, she’s just a RINO with no international affairs experience..

Of course the Ukraine war is more complicated than my making fun of your idiotic point. That said, Putin’s war has now prompted policy changes that Trump advocated 4 years ago and which the foreign and domestic anti-Trumpers ridiculed at the time:

  • Germany shaking off dependence on Russian energy
  • Germany rearming and increasing its defense spending
  • Permanently basing US NATO troops in Eastern Europe
  • Cancelling and sanctioning Russian Pipelines
  • More US energy production and exports to counter Russian exports to Europe
  • More defensive weapons for Ukraine
In some respects, you might even say that Trump was visionary with regard to what is now happening.

It really is hilarious watching Republicans ‘ collective heads explode about AOC, when Democrats barely think about her.

Meanwhile, the MTGs and Boeberts Are actually mainstream in the Trumpster Cult.
Well put.
Thank you

So Putin is doing Trumps bidding? Hmmm...

You are nothing but a troll at this point CO.
Do you ever make a post that has content? Ever? What would it take to start banning posters like circlejoe @IUJIM. Never a post. Just this all the time. Go through his history and you will find 99 % of his posts are attacks like this or "you're an idiot." Absolutely offers nothing to the board. Posters like this need to be banned.

I'm sure you see me as one but plenty on both sides . I can have a discussion when it is worth the effort but there are so many people that there really isn't any more to say about them TMP should be your first target

It's getting out of hand. Board becomes not worth visiting. And again for those of us who are forced to be at a computer more than we'd like it's a nice distraction. Unfortunately it's losing its appeal. And believe me I like fighting and arguing but when every thread devolves to it - it's too much

I just didnt like getting singled out when there are many and many much much worse than me. I can have a discussion but there are Times when I see stuff as just so full blown stupid I see no point in adding more than that. Piss outside more man it helps

But yet you have no issue with danc, Mas, cray, iucrazy, Co, Indianaftw, bailey, lucy etc.

Your issue isn't with the content of their posts. Your issue is that they are liberal.

You think it is the job of the conservative mod to kick off the mean liberals...and you guys claim to not like dictators lol

No stupid. Many of those posters post content. Cosmic and Hoops annoy me more than any posters on the board. But they post content. There's a difference. You post nothing. You have done nothing but make this board worse. You are arguably the worst poster on the board

I have no issues with you MM66 you are the most level poster on here and I'd love to see you as a mod. A few less on the other side that just rile me and my general post would be better. Hey I admit to being an a**hole never said I wasn't. I think I do have a few pertinent things to say and some people just rub me the wrong way. It's OK not to like everyone!

You have a lot to offer and I enjoy your insights. I think you, like many of us, get triggered and react to the poster - because you don't like them. I do the same. I get it. So maybe if we all worked a bit harder to not do that the board would improve.

I think what would further same is the posts that patently do nothing but provoke the other side. Look how dumb MTG is.... OMG look what AOC said.... We're all guilty of it, but it drags the board down and creates friction

I have a tendency to be argumentitive! LOL . Are you familiar with our past AG in IN Curtis T Hill? He was county prosecutor here. So long story, stuck on jury duty , running a jobsite. I call in and response is we already let the first ones off on BS excuses. I am getting pissed I get there, BS excuses you know thinking what If I had your house torn up ? My workboots, not steel toe, set the alarm off and cop gets shitty with me . My response was if you don't like your job get another one. It was brass eyelets on $200 shoes. I get there and we have to keep mileage but they are going to check it anyway. I'm like so WTF? I get called up in first group, trip on a damn step and smack my face on a fat lady's ass, glasses askew. Balif making a big deal are you alright? Im like yes just go away. Im sitting there the court clerk comes out and the hillbilly next to me elbows me and says '' do ya think thats the judge? I wouldnt mind getting me a piece of that!" I was like this a bad dream . So they made one woman cry and I'm getting pissed and maybe you as a lawyer have a different view but I'm not on trial . Curtis T Hill gets up in my face just nasty and says you don't want to be here do you? Turns around grinning and I said no , '' but you are arent you '' again right in my face with a sneer and I said yeah, but you sure as hell cant make me like it can you? Half asleep judge perks up, Curtis looks at me, head down and sat down without another word. I was back on the rd to work 30 minutes later. I don't take sh*t from people. I am mostly actually pretty quiet out in the real world.

There's a difference between "That's idiotic and here's why" and "You're an idiot."
I will make a note to rephrase when I respond to you. It will take more words with the same end result but everyone will feel better right?

Exactly. And you and Coh and Marv and a few others are good at ignoring it. I'm not. Many here aren't; so if we get a bit of moderating and try to police ourselves and each other a bit things will improve. Otherwise F it. Delete the account and do something else. I'll go back to finding people to sext and unravel again

Lol. Then you should take off your partisan glasses.

And your response just proves my point.

BTW, if you want to clean up the board, then stop calling people names. You are just as much the issue as anyone else on the board

I get along with most of the liberal posters. Name one conservative poster you can say the same about. Hell even Bulk calls your bs out.

And yes I need to do better re name-calling.

eliminate the "organized" posters who don't really represent themselves, would do the trick.

good luck with that as it isn't possible to my knowledge, though nothing would improve any like forum more . (i proposed that back when Dave was the mod).

as for fixing the other things you want fixed, you can't do that without destroying the forum itself.

putting up with posts and posters one doesn't like is a necessary element.

if you want to do something easy and doable, delete responses that are only personal attacks and insults, with no other content, and put constant offenders in detention.

you guys could start there.

IUCrazy and COH should not be lumped into that list.

You’re right McMurtry. Guilty as charged. I don’t know why I check this board most days. Easy entertainment I guess but it’s become much less entertaining over the years. If I respected the content of the posts I wouldn’t comment like I do, but most of the posters really are idiots.

There's been a downward spiral. Let's see what Jim has up his sleeve.
 
They may not be as bad but I don't think any of them are here for honest discussion.
What do you believe honest discussion Is?

You can rest assured that every opinion I have ever posted on this board is an honest opinion, even those posted as a devil’s advocate. If you cant find honest discussion here, the problem is between your ears, not with the board.

There are a substantial number of posters, you included, who believe honest discussion is insults, put downs, and name calling. That is the problem with the board. I try to limit that, but I’m not always successful. But for those of you who think your insults and name calling mean any thing to me, know this: they don’t.
