        I don’t think that most Trump supporters generally approved of Trump having said, at some point well in the past, that he should grab women by the pussy.

        I just don’t think that they viewed it as a particularly weighty issue.

        I mean, I’d really rather that Bill Clinton didn’t get a blowjob in the Oval Office from an intern. But, end of the day, that’s weighed against everything else one cares about. Most Democratic voters just didn’t care that much about it, not enough to override the other things they care about.

        I think that Trump has done things that should be disqualifying, like claiming that he didn’t lose the election to try to score political points. That might be a more-compelling thing to argue about. But Trump being crude well prior to being President…shrugs

        I think an even better argument is that a lot of the things that supporters thought Trump would do are bad ideas, but you’re going to have a hard time selling large chunks of Americans on that.

      We should be threatening to give Alaska to Canada rather than threatening to make Canada the 51st state.

    Trump, who said last week that he and President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone about ending the war, has made several comments bolstering the Russian president. He said during an interview with Fox News last month that Ukraine should not have fought when it was invaded by Russia.

    “When you are famous enough, they just let you do it.”

    I bet Trump will invite Putin for a state visit before the peace has been brokered. Trump will spend hundreds of millions of tax dollars to impress Putin with a ridiculous ceremony. And Trump will gift hundred nuclear warheads to Putin.

    Russia literally started it when they invaded the first time. Trump would lose his mind if we lost even the tip of Florida to mexico… Seems inane to me, don’t make shit up that’s obviously a lie. Tell it like it is he thinks “Ukraine would be better under a united Russian federation.” That’s it. That’s what Putin wants. For a tiny man Putin sure has swung a big metal dick around. Genuinely wonder what would happen now that he’s old, if one of the younger, stronger, physically better, nation leaders wooped his ass in a meeting, like, tazed him, took any poison you know the bastard is carrying. Let him recover. Then woop the ever loving piss out of the ol vinegar bucket. Make him cry uncle and don’t stop until he does. Sure he’s a little man with a little sensitive ego, who would start a war for such an encroachment, but what would happen if you just kept woopin until he pleaded, and swore no wars would take place? I bet he would keep to his word if you brought him to tears, he’s never been wooped like that really, no scars to show like John McCain had from actually being hurt, and Putin’s had spy training so at least some level of training against torture, so crying would likely be about the point you shatter his rotator cuff in an arm bar while belittling him for being so weak… But if not you just start grabbing parts of his body and bending it the wrong direction until the job is done, he claims “he’s old and fell down the stairs” like Mitch McConnel keeps doing, and the public moves on. I’m just sayins all, he’s an old constipated bitch, your belly shouldnt distend like that if you aren’t fat, and you definitely don’t have abs if your belly distends like that… So poop. Half his weight in pure, backed up, shit. I bet most teenagers could probably take him in a fair fight. Maybe if the poverty rate in Russia wasn’t so high he could have gotten Ukraine to rejoin on their own for the merits it included, but looks to me like Russia wanted the mineral rights that trump tried to trade for.
