"Ukrainian language is about 30% different than Russian"

This is not a Ukrainian language. It is a Russian dialect and the Ukranian people are Russians.

To add insult to injury the Ukrainian Nazi regime started killing Ukrainian citizens for speaking Russian!

They pay federal taxes and you cannot dispute

I can and did. They don't get federal taxes if a city is a shit hole or there are hoards of homeless that pay nothing into the system. I'm not sure what is hard to comprehend about this. 60-70% of Detroit residence pay no federal income tax. Sure there are high earners in SF, but again most of the population pays nothing in federal taxes.

I already filed my taxes. $40k to the feds. I don't even recall state at this point.

I don't know what is so hard for you to comprehend. I will say that it is coming from the top and bottom though. It is much worse coming from the top, as ANYONE can see at this point. Texas can't even protect their own border for fucks sake. THAT IS COMING FROM THE TOP AND EFFECTS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. Why are you so thick headed sometimes?

Lol. So the locals have to take care of the border issue? You've just proven my point. I hope this was sarcasm.

The bottom controls everything, but bottom are pussies and just bitch on the internet and don't get elected. I hate BLM but they're more effective than the whiny bitches here. DO SOMETHING. This will be the downfall of Libertarians and Republicans if we let it continue. I'm not a registered Republican, but I sometimes feel like I'm affiliated with a party of gays.... Right and center need to grow a pair...

WookieMan says

No we did NOT wear masks in my town. No government official in my town had to take the vaccine or employees. I'm an elected official. Let me know the last time you talked to your House Rep?

What would be the point?

You're an idiot to think that government will ever do anything. You're just a welfare whore to me, and a traitor. Everybody in government is.

I'm giving you the label of King Twister. 50% right and 50% wrong almost all the time. LMAO, many localities have to fight the federal government from all the top down bullshit.

That's fine. But acknowledge that Texas had to use local resources to stop the current invasion on their border. That's local on a state level. They've likely enlisted local police along the border, we just don't hear about that.

Federal government is there to protect us from outside influences. They've done dumb ass shit. But the job has been done. Texas saw a problem and acted. As they should. You know what stirred the shit pot? Local towns pissed about a bunch of foreigners strolling into town. They barked first, state listened and now the nation is listening. It's bottom up, unless you want to be controlled and do nothing.

Are you trying to tell me the problem didn't start at the top? In fact, the Feds even got the courts to side with them. You're not telling me the hordes have stopped coming are you? You're not trying to tell me that the Feds don't want this to happen are you? The Texas border is closed now, is that what you're trying to tell me? The entire country wouldn't be having these problems if the Feds did their job. But see, that is what the problem is, the Feds don't even follow their own laws, regs and rules. This causes massive problems on a nationwide scale. And we're only talking about the invader problem. There are many more problems the Feds are causing. Imagine what kind of financial disaster there is supposedly waiting for us...caused from the top down.

At least I included that many problems are caused at the bottom up also. It's coming from both ends. But, the Federal government is really going for it. They are really going for the whole basket of control. Let's see how bad things get toward the end of this year. Everyone is expecting something big, no? We'll see. I make no predictions but just look at the effect the 2020 election has had on the entire nation. That's top down.

Call me naive or whatever name you want, but I sincerely believe the Putin now is not the same as the communist Putin in the 1990’s. This Putin wants peace and enjoys his remaining years on this earth. Give the guy a chance.

They are doing their job.

You are just being lied to about what their job is. This is what happens when you don't have a news media, and you have a bunch of rumor and bullshit spread around the internet without people sourcing links so you can verify if it's true or not.

There's no mechanism to find out who is a lying piece of shit propagandist, whose a dupe that repeats the bullshit believing it's true, and who is telling the truth. Well, there IS a mechanism, but nobody will fucking use it.

As a result, you think "the feds aren't doing their job". They absolutely are. They are going to keep the illegals flowing in, because they follow orders, and very few of them are whistleblowers, and those that are can't blow the whistle to the government or the "news" media.

Tucker talks in Dubai about the Putin interview.

Saw this post and thought of this thread. She asked some good questions.

Ukraine is giving $54 billion in humanitarian aid to Ukraine over 4 years starting this year. I guess the military aid is mostly coming from the USA.

Ukraine faces a $43bn budget deficit this year and expects the EU aid will cover just under half of it.

Tucker thinks Pukin is an evil stupid cunt:

Tucker Carlson bashed Russian President Vladimir Putin's justification for invading Ukraine, claiming that the "denazification" of the country was "one of the dumbest things I'd ever heard."

Speaking with host Lex Fridman in a podcast episode released Tuesday, Carlson discussed his controversial interview with Putin released earlier this month.

Putin and Carlson's interview touched on a long list of topics, from a long-winded Russian history lesson to Putin's thoughts on the next U.S. presidential election. Carlson also described his first impression of Putin as someone who "seemed nervous," telling Fridman that the Russian president "went into [the interview] like an over-prepared student."

Fridman specifically asked Carlson for his opinion on Putin's justification for continuing the war in Ukraine, which in part is to achieve the "denazification" of the country.

"I thought it was one of the dumbest things I'd ever heard," Carlson told Fridman. "I didn't understand what it meant."
"I hate that whole conversation because it's not real," he continued. "It's just ad hominem. It's a way of associating someone with an evil regime that doesn't exist anymore.

Most likely a false quote. Notice there is no link to the interview, and there's no time stamp.

Here's the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_lRdkH_QoY

Now where did Carlson say this? Show the timestamp.

Anyone can fake anything. There's nothing you can believe link or otherwise. I can create a website in 5 minutes and say Putin is the best masturbator on the planet.

I'm not sure your point half the time. Everything is fake. If you don't see it, it doesn't exist... That's reality.

Not everything is fake.

I'm pointing out that I believe @RWSGFY is lying, and I'm challenging him to demonstrate he's not lying. If he's lying there's no chance he can demonstrate he's not. It's my experience he lies a lot. He's basically a low level propagandist.

The guy who (correctly) claimed that he can find any text by 10 words is suddenly making a Pokemon face and pretending he was banned on Goolag search site. Hi-fucking-larios.

@richwicks: Go find it yourself, muzafaka, or pay me $10 to do it for you. But you must publicly admit that you are incabable of such a simple operation.

UPD. Seems like Patrick has removed the tipping feature. So I don't require $10 anymore. But the rest of the offer stands.

Nope. You're just lying. I'm content with that conclusion.

@RWSGFY Alright. Sure. Whatever. Just show it.

Show me the timestamp where Carlson said that.

And by "that", I mean:

Where's the timestamp? Here's the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_lRdkH_QoY - show me where in that THREE HOURS he said that.

The reason I suspect this is false, is Carlson isn't that fucking stupid (I mean, who is) and second, he's not paid to pretend to be this stupid anymore, and since he's PRETENDING to be real opposition and not controlled opposition, it's more difficult for him to make a "mistake" like this. It's pretty easy to identify people in Ukraine who claim to be Nazis.
