This resonated with me as we are fighting many of these same/similar elements within our own country and society.
People want to paint others with a very broad brush "America doesn't support us" or "Ukraine doesn't deserve USA support". Every single day, there are thousands of these conversations taking place using very wide terms to put everyone into a single bin. The truth is very complicated because people and societies are complicated, of course.
Let me share something with you (and it's not a secret), every country has these same problems - flawed, selfish, mean, corrupt, greedy, cowardly, clueless...etc.
We're all fighting for the "good" in people to outnumber the "bad" in people. That's the hope for humanity - that a thousand small victories of "good" will blossom into a crop that bears fruit for others. We mustn't let the weeds of hate or corruption overwhelm the harvest of goodness that we want to share with others in a better, peaceful society.
Those are ideals without boundaries. Everyone should figure out how to be agents of change - with random acts of kindness, a kind word, a "thank you", an apology, or helping and doing something decent out of selflessness. That's how we all can be better - while we're fighting the good fight - which must be won.
@KatTimpf This is absolutely horrible.
Condolences & respect as well.
Words don’t seem enough, but I’m shocked & sorry to read this. It’s terrible.
@ericadyork I wish they’d just knock it off with the tariffs & maintained the tax cuts.
Everyone is feeling the pinch of every bill rising, so, it’s extreme stress on budgets.
This gimmick is a bad idea.
@scottlincicome I’d mention the deficit, again, but it gets pedantic at a certain point.
When the man says “wealth they’ve created”, I think it means “their wealth.”
You know, Crypto club, Platinum Membership.
See Junior for details.
@DLoesch The might say it, but these alt-right proponents don’t have honorable intentions even though they might mask themselves as “compassionate conservatives”.
They’re neither.
@JonathanTurley Is he not bound by the Supreme Judicial Court Rule 3:07: Rules of Professional Conduct that governs attorneys licensed in Massachusetts regarding their ethical and professional behavior?
It’s weird that he’s behaving like this, especially as an attorney.
@sunnyright Well, if those results become reality, it will be another in the trend of “own goals” that was unnecessarily self inflicted on the party by the Executive.
@RossDellenger There’s litigation everywhere.
That’s very true.
With the stakes as they are, it’s probably a good idea for him to invoke the 5th Amendment instead of fanning the flames.
I’ve seen many strange comments analogous to “father-children” relationships, but the litigation’s real.
@DLoesch I really appreciate the honest conversation about this, but it’s simultaneously very frustrating.
I want neither Democratic Socialism nor Orbanism.
The messaging to steer clear of being “traffic coned” to bad choices is really important, so, keep up the good fight.
