These dems, highly "educated" from dem run public schools never cease to amaze an uneducated deplorable like me!
Trump says things like this to stay relevant in the media. He’s always been about getting headlines, but wording things so that you’re not sure what he is really saying.

I am sure others have thought this, but it certainly is funny/strange to me how the left has done a 180 in the past 50 years in a couple of key ways. In the late 60's, those on the left were against war and for free speech, and one of the major slogans of the leftist youth/college movement was "Don't trust anyone over 30" (and especially not the "establishment").

Now it seems to me that many leftists support possibly sending troops overseas (or at least spending taxpayer dollars to fight Putin), and are in favor of censorship, and believe that people should just take the government's word for it (whatever "it" happens to be).

ONE Commentator on ONE news network doesn’t represent the right, just like the View doesn’t speak for the entire left. Does Whoopi, Ana Navarro, and JoyLess Behar really believe that people on the right (gun-owning, free speech advocates) want the world over run by Totalitarian Communists?

If the DemCrips don’t stop this silliness, this country will indeed be in a lot of trouble as a house divided can’t stand. Especially against wanna-be-Soviet Dictators on the march against us.

Think about it. A military conflict that really doesn't involve us , is now being used as another tool to divide this country even more. The media has jumped on this and using this forum as an example, many of us as well.

Stop being puppets. It seems like every world event is somehow being twisted into a left vs right thing.

Of course. Our own oligarchs are the common source for both of these , and they want us to shut up and stay home until they need our resources and bodies to fight another foreign war.

Again, the Left has it wrong, Trump said Putin's justification for going into Ukraine was genius, and it was.

I'm neither with nor against Putin, not my business. I do think the Left's attempting to start a thermonuclear with Russia the worst idea ever.

The biggest change has been to stop supporting the working class. The left used to be all about workers rights, now they look down at them from their coastal elite cities with disgust. The echo chambers have corrupted the left terribly

Why use a broad brush to paint right or left?

It says more about the painter than the target.

As a righty I'd like nothing more than to see Putin's sorry ass on a slab in the morgue.

The View? This is a serious question? Remember, psychopaths and generally disturbed personalities like the know-nothing hacks on the view almost always accuse others of what they're doing or thinking.
