We’re witnessing the entrenchment of an oligarchy at a fast pace in real time.

I’m sorry - was Biden running again? Does Harris have ties to Ukrainian gas companies?

But to tug on that thread some more, since you brought it up - yes I was concerned. But if I’m writing down a list between Biden (later Harris) and Trump of things I should be concerned about, especially now that we know his picks for Cabinet positions, I know who I’d be more concerned about.

What concerns you more?
  • Americans with big American business interests linked to the administration; or
  • Americans and foreigners with big foreign interests linked to the administration.

So you must also be against former high level bureaucrats and former flag officers taking positions in private military industry while relying on their security clearance and contacts to influence outcomes with government?

I'm on the fence. Though Trump has spoken about this as a problem and has a plan to address it... is this another Trump policy you support?

I don’t trust him to get it right. I don’t oppose all of his policies. I just don’t actually trust him or his cronies.

Why on the fence? You brought it up as a problem by highlighting it with a whataboutism as opposed to a defence of the conduct.

Wrong. I suggest it's apples and oranges. Musk is an American and SpaceX is an American company for space exploration. The Bidens were operating closely with Burisma, a foreign company who is likely connected to reasons (energy control) why there is a war going on with Russia.

This is a vast difference. All some of you guys see is "rich guy, business, Trump" and try and make that out as the same.

If that actually happens, is Trump our “Putin - NATO’s best recruiter 2024” award for 2025? 🤣

So another Trump policy that could course-correct a problem in Canada? Sure starting to look like Trump winning is Canada winning.

LOL. It was you doing the apples and oranges in the first place.

No. The reason why there is a war between Russia and Ukraine is because Russia invaded Ukraine. Full stop.

There could have been all sorts of economic or diplomatic actions between the two countries that would not have escalated to an invasion. Hell, the West allowed Russia to take over Donetsk and Luhansk in 2014.

In the same way that “Putin invading is NATO winning”?

Yes, we got Finland and Sweden to join, but most people would say that Russia not invading, and therefore those two countries not joining, is vastly preferable to the 2+ years of war now.

After Hegseth claims, Lindsey Graham says anonymous sources 'don't count.' He's wrong.

From the Justice Department to breaking news, anonymity plays a huge role in ensuring accountability, especially as to sexual assault and misconduct.

And some quips about that article…

Military leaders are rattled by a list of 'woke' officers that a group urges Hegseth to fire

Military leaders are rattled by a list of “woke” senior officers that a conservative group is urging Pete Hegseth to dismiss for promoting diversity in the ranks if he is confirmed to lead the Pentagon.
apnews.com apnews.com

Another female Air Force officer was on the list because she “served as a panelist for a diversity, equity and inclusion” discussion in 2021.

The list names an Army officer who traveled to 14 historically Black colleges to expand the military’s intelligence recruitment efforts, and an Air Force officer partly because he co-chairs the Asian-Pacific Islander subgroup of the service’s diversity task force.

Now I’m not a GOFO, but I (as a visible minority) was in a DEI panel because they wanted people other than a bunch of white dudes.

Hell, she could have said “I, as a woman, think that DEI is bad because it makes people wonder if I’m promoted due to being a woman, or my merits” but still be on the list.
