Cards fan comments

Let's see, opposition parties baned, any public demonstration or opposition to the war illegal, Elections suspended, all non government press closed down, press gangs forcing men even those exempt from military duty into the military.

Gee, you think that might have something to do with the fact that Russia is trying to wipe Ukraine off the face of the map? Everything you mentioned happened after Russia invaded.

Russia has done far worse with its destruction and killings, rapes, murders, tortures, and the abduction of 700,000 Ukrainian children.

Also the environmental impact as well, but you'll never hear a peep from these folks about that. Democracy bad, Russian Imperialism good.

But you are too partisan to even admit that much

lol Says the guy who calls Ukrainian "nazis." Preach on about partisanship, friend.

I know logic is hard, isn't it?

lol Little logic is required to make things up to be outraged about.

The hypocrisy is so thick it is now the consistency of molasses in the middle of an Arctic winter!

Yes, I too am outraged at the scenario you've imagined. Very hypocritical lolol

when did Russia "attack" the wheat exports?

It's been all of the news, my friend. They bombed it nearly every day last week.

lol This is Russian propoganda. No mention of the Wagner goons there kicking this up.

No they just spent all 4 years secretly undermining the duly elected president by weaponizing all 3 branches of government and social/liberal media against him using spies and lies.

lol Complete and total nonsense. Prove it.

Democrats tried to muscle the Electoral College long after Nov. 8, 2016. Nearly five million Hillary fans endorsed a Change.org petition addressed to Trump’s pledged backers in the Electoral College.

Right, because an online petition is the same as j6 lol

Well, the Dems didn’t accept the results of the 2016 election

Nonsense. They didn't try and overthrow the election results.

How does saying Trump lost convince trump voters to change to Desantis?

Now, that's is a fair point: It probably doesn't, and relitigating the results of the 2020 election is a fool's errand. Trump lost. Get over it.

Not “bunk”

Regardless, Trump still lost.

”Almost a third of Americans still believe the 2020 election result was fraudulent”

Right, because the rightwing media makes stuff up and their adoring fans lap it all up. Still doesn't make it true.

The entire organization needs to be purged and start with a clean slate. Select players and coaches based on skills not ideology.

lol Ah yes, "politics" is the reason they lost. I guess it was also the reason they won the last two world cups as well?

Set aside the silly politics for a moment, and just understand: Sweden bested the US. As a yank, it's unfortunate, but congrats, Sweden, none-the-less.

Also, can we just appreciate the speed at which the rightists moved from criticizing entitled leftists who rioted to now praising the kinds of people who "organized" this stupid publicity stunt.

Yet they pay better than any “job” any poster here has ever had.

Drug dealers are well paid too. Again, what's your point?

It's also worth pointing out that most day traders and influencer don't make any money.

https://finmasters.com/day-trading-statistics/

Influencers get paid. As do stock traders, meme or otherwise.

As do drug dealers. What's your point?

Both of those pay much better than anything you are doing with your life.

Not really. Seems to have struck a nerve there, though.

So the violence wasn’t because they didn’t get the free stuff that was promised?

No. If bothered reading the article:

Livestreaming on Twitch from a vehicle as the event gathered steam, Cenat displayed gift cards he planned to give away. Noting the crowd and police presence, he urged, “Everybody who’s out there, make sure y’all safe. ... We’re not gonna do nothin’ until it’s safe.”

The unrest had unfolded before the giveaway had even started.

Also, it's a pretty big stretch to turn this into feelings of entitlement into then, "they must all be leftists, because all leftists are entitled." Get real.

Also, a lot of leftists I know don't like Kai Cenat because of the rape allegations.

I don’t care if someone gets invaded once I find out they are no less corrupt and no more moral or righteous than the invaders.

Hogwash. We all know that's not the real reason you're against Ukraine. Also, they are, in fact, less corrupt than the invaders, and absolutely more righteous than those doing the invading.

My dear fellow, your simplistic view of the localised squabble may seem rather charming to some, yet I find it awfully sad

"Simplistic" as you may find it, you've yet to give a convincing rebuttal explaining why the side defending itself is just as bad as the side attacking. No one would be dying if Russia kept to itself.

ah yes, "entitled leftist kids." Lol what a dog water take.

Both sides are demonic and have zero respect for human life.

Right, because defensing yourself is the same as attacking someone. just pathetic.

Valid reasons for invading countries, according to the same people calling Russia a fascist country

How isn't Russia a fascist country? It is. Try opposing the Putin regime. Try speaking out against the invasion.

Though, of course, they all boil down to the one common denominator, breaking away from Washington's control.

What does any of this nonsense have to do with Russia invading Ukraine?

But intervening in a civil war between a

"Intervening?" Who do you think you're kidding? They didn't "intervene," they caused the civil unrest.

coup installed regime and the population that wants their peaceful,

Nonsense. President Zelensky was duly elected president of Ukraine, which is more than what we can say for the sham Russian elections.

It's not an invasion.

lol Yes it is. Now you're just making stuff up. Hilarious.

If Clinton didn't allow NATO to expand eastward there would be no dispute.

Pathetic. If fascist Russia didn't repeatedly invade their neighbors their neighbors wouldn't have any use for NATO. Anything to avoid placing blame where it belongs with the invaders.

Perhaps if the Kiev regime didn't take advantage of the grain deal to attack Russia...

Perhaps if the fascist Putin regime hadn't have invaded Ukraine. Cry me a river.

will he now, really?

Do you have any proof to the contrary, or is it just that anything short of finding Trump not guilty is "unfair?" Hilarious.

good thing that would never be allowed to happen in a “democracy”, right?

To draw a comparison between Navalny repeatedly being tried in sham trials to the prosecution of Trump is luaghably absurd.

Navalny is a right-wing, nationalist politician, a representative of the pro-Western Russian oligarchs and a convicted fraudster. He once referred to immigrants in Russia from the Caucasus as “cockroaches” that should be killed.

That all sounds like exactly like the Putin Regime. This too is laughably absurd. Navalny may not be a "good" guy, but that certainly doesn't make what the fascist Russian government doing here right, either.

Russia is colonizing Africa now?

Yes. Yes they are.

How dare they!

Ah, so you are for colonialism now? Got it.
