I tried to convince y'all that the constant criticism of Democrats was going to put the GOP back in charge, but oh well here we are.
Supporting Democrats is a lot better than living under GOP rule.

Whether or not Israel was committing genocide last year or this year is for the courts to decide. That's just the way I am.
If you accuse Democrats of having supported a genocide, you are a lying Kremlin useful idiot imso.
You've been gaslit into believing lies like these.

Recall that Putin's Wagner group was a part of Maduro's personal security. The fact that Maduro was captured so rapidly raises questions about whether he was sold out by Putin in exchange for Ukraine.

Whatever's going on between Trump and Putin will soon be made clear. Trump now has world's largest oil reserves and a powerful lever. If he cuts Venezuelan production, prices rise and Russia fights on. If he lowers prices, Russia implodes and Ukraine wins. Which path will he take? (h/t R_YP) 5/

Not even months later—just one month and two days!
In all of American history, I’m not sure there’s been a more logically incoherent pair of actions than Trump pardoning a drug trafficking head of state, and then months later ”justifying” a foreign invasion by going after a head of state for drug trafficking.

Because whenever most leftists learn about some kind of awful thing that Republicans have done, they respond by going after Democrats like Aaron is doing here.
