many people move just for the weather, or proximity to golf, work, etc. but politics is a part of it, a big part, because politics plays a big role in determining the cost of living of a place. liberals want to pretend it has nothing to do with liberalism. i just point out that’s it’s part of it. i never came close to saying it’s 100% because of liberalism. you say “it’s more than politics”, then say part of it is low taxes. Earth to Wayne….low taxes primarily exist in places that are economically conservative. do you really think that tax rates have nothing to do with whether or not a state is liberal or conservative? think of the cheapest states to live in, in terms of taxes. how many are solidly blue states? any? “states with low taxes often give up services.” correct. and americans are figuring out, that they’ll happily give up whatever those services are, to avoid taxes. NH has no income tax or sales tax. i could move there and put an extra $1,000 in my pocket every month for the rest of my life. i don’t know what i’d be giving up exactly, in terms of services. my friends who have moved there from CT don’t feel like they gave up anything. i think what you give up, is waste.

you see zero connection between taxes and politics. it’s just a coincidence that liberal states tend to have high taxes and conservative states tend to have low taxes. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

conservatives states have less services ! OMG 8 of the top 10 on the federal teat! are red states states.. odd for red states to scream about socialism but won't tax their residents in an effort to pay their own states Bills .. funny how that works yet Red States Lead With Federal Dependence red states are 24% dependent on federal funds as compared to 14% of blue states in the U.S. that were most dependent on the federal government in 2021, 1 New Mexico Blue 2 West Virginia Red 3 Mississippi Red 4 Alaska Red 5 Montana Red 6 Kentucky Red 7 Alabama Red 8 Arizona Red 9 Louisiana Red 10 Vermont Red So clearly federal dollars from Blue states are funding the ability of red states to not tax their residents .. But claim their against raising taxes! but have no issues taking federal moneys to prop up their states finances so they dont need to raise taxes .. hypocrisy at its finest , |

not sure if the MAGA world or Republicans pay any attention to past events
Republican after Republican keep parroting the same message Putin 'Smells Weak US and' What happened on Trump's watch? Nothing,'' But they were singing a different tune in early 2020 Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah described Trump's move as "a gift to Russia" and a "slap in the face at a friend and ally. retired US Navy Adm. Jim Stravidis, the former top military commander in Europe and NATO, said hurts NATO solidarity overall, and is a gift to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin." There are few things that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia desires more than the weakening of NATO, 2016 let's revisit Trumps watch on Ukraine and Nato Trump Discussed Pulling U.S. From NATO, Aides Say Amid New Concerns Over Russia Trump’s barrage of attacks ‘beyond belief,’ reeling NATO diplomats say Trump Belittles NATO in the Run-Up to the Putin Summit july 2018 Trump's Germany troops pullout may be his last gift to Putin before the election Trump has offered No statements centered on Ukraine have been published on his PAC’s website. Jan 2022... no condemnation towards russia or Putin and we all know how he tried to Strong Arm Ukraine for Dirt on Biden So in a nutshell Putin Ask Trump to withdraw troop and destabilize nato and like a good Puppet and he did just that Just like he Tried to steal the election here in the US yet republicans refuse to hold him accountable for anything But their outraged and see That Biden relaunches 'Cancer Moonshot' initiative aimed at halving rate of cancer deaths by 2047 as arrogance Why when It comes to Trump everything is somehow a coincidence never planned or done in coordination with others even when the facts show otherwise ? |

Trump and Putin met one-on-one in a room for 2 hours. “While I had a great meeting with NATO, raising vast amounts of money, I had an even better meeting with Vladimir Putin of Russia,” Trump tweeted Tuesday morning. “Sadly, it is not being reported that way - the Fake News is going Crazy!” No official readout was Taken :faga: and then 12000 troops were ordered to leave europe in 2020 Just before the election Seems Putin started moving Troops once Trump lost.. another coincidence?? since March experts say they are witnessing something new. Russia has started sending thousands of troops, tanks, artillery and other units to Crimea and regions along its 1,200-mile land border with Ukraine, yet weak Biden Freezes Trump’s Withdrawal of 12,000 Troops From Germany Feb. 4, 2021 https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...2ad_story.html |
Republican senators say they are not moved by Fox News host Tucker Carlson's recent rants in favor of Russia's Vladimir Putin while deriding support of Ukraine.
Carlson has been on a tirade rationalizing Russia's aggression toward Ukraine and downplaying its relevance to U.S. national security. But major Republican figures are not afraid of taking on Fox's top-rated host for what they believe is dangerous thinking, if not outright propaganda. amazing Tucker again ... |

The left desperately wanted to paint Trump as soft on Russia. While he obviously has a soft spot for Putin, here's what Trump did with Russian policy... 1) Bombed Syria, Russia's main client, and unleashed the U.S. military in Syria, including against Russians; 2) Armed Ukraine; 3) Weakened the Iran nuclear deal, and would likely soon end it [which Trump later did]; 4) Browbeat NATO allies to increase defense spending; 5) Approved $130 billion in new defense spending; 6) Added low-yield nukes to the U.S. arsenal; 7) Started research and development on a new missile after Russia deployed a missile that did not comply with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty; 8) Shut down Russia's consulate in San Francisco; and 9) Pumped more U.S. oil and gas, making the U.S. more energy independent. The left repeats "Trump is a Russian puppet" often enough, that many, like you, will assume it's true, nodding like livestock when you hear it. The facts are pretty different. He was tough on Russia. NATO was created to defend against the Soviet Union, which no longer exists. Today's Russia, isn't yesterdays USSR, not by a long shot. Sorry to demolish a good, liberal, anti Trump rant with facts. You go ahead and tell me which of those things, Trump didn't do. You can fill the oceans with Trump's faults. Being soft on Russia, ain't one of them. It says nothing to you that Putin is getting so aggressive now? With Pudding Brain in the White House? |

The RNC spent years giving cover to the many scandals involving Trump while he was having an affair with Russia, whose President happened to be Trump's leading banker. If you find yourself echoing Putin - Biden is goading Russia to invade Ukraine - you should reconsider your assumptions. Putin was trained to lie in the KGB, killed innocents, annexed territory, arrested opponents. You trust him? Want to be on his side? Some people seem surprised the Trump/America First wing of the GOP is so vehemently against helping Ukraine against Putin. But the original America First Committee was vehemently against helping Britain against Hitler. “America First” was wrong then and it’s wrong now. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss says the government is "very clear there could be an imminent invasion of Ukraine" and calls on British citizens to "leave now"
Let me guess the Brits are making this up Yet Republicans running in high-profile primary races aren't racing to defend Ukraine against a possible Russian invasion. They're settling on a different line of attack: Blame Biden, not Putin. The gop Doing the fear on the border … Biden cares more about Ukraine's border than America's southern border. Because don’t forget according to conservatives we are being invaded by Brown people Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
