    theres a bunch of right-wing posters on here like this. they say they dont like trump and didnt vote for him, but parrot trumper talking points, defend his policies and get upset at people that criticize him.

    I don't like his Ukraine policy, but then again, I didn't like Biden's either.

    unlike the rest of you, I'm not a tariff expert, so for the moment, I'm w/holding comment about the tariffs.

    ill ask again...what year was i born? you implied that you knew so im just curious.

    so against his ukraine policy. is that it or is there anything else?

    and whose ukraine policy and approach do you prefer, biden or trump?

    and you dont have to be a "tariff expert" to see how stupid his ideas about them are. and the people who are 'tariff experts" (economists and the like) are pretty much in agreement that trumps tariffs are a bad idea. and anyone with a retirement account can see that in real time.

    Don't have to be an expert to have an opinion... Or in the Trump era to even set policy.

    one infers from your posting style you were born after January '82, which is when I first made Trump's acquaintance.

    I preferred neither. you could search the Ukraine thread for my thoughts on the matter.

    Nice to see our resident war expert admit he's not a tariff expert.

    no one is claiming to be an expert.

    most of us remember about Trump 1.0 tariffs, they were ineffective

    can you show me posts of yours where you discuss what policies of trumps you are against and what you dont like about his ukraine policy?

    seems odd that you cant respond here, but if you have already discussed then id love to see!

    I recall you posting alot of updates early on, and I was appreciative of that.

    However I have to admit that how you actually think about Trump's policy with Ukraine, and Putin/Russia is unclear to me. I really don't like having to make judgements about how someone believes based on how many times you can retweet someone else's thoughts. I assumed that you supported the US supplying weapons to Ukraine to defend themselves, but beyond that assumption, I don't really know what you believe.

    so i went to the beginning of the ukraine thread and all i found was you liking posts that criticized obama. on page 8 you posted a tweet that criticized the media.

    i found nothing regarding what policies of trumps you are against and what you dont like about his ukraine policy.

    You're doing a lot of legwork for a prick (basso) who refuses to do even a simple Google search on a multitude of topics.

    start here.

    this was and is my opinion on the right path in Ukraine. whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is where I think Trump (and Biden) are wrong.

    Sounds like a very insecure and weak style of management.

    Serious question for you:

    Do you prefer management (could be government, business, your church, household, etc.) where if if half of your employees/constituents/etc. are unhappy with you, where you:

    -Deal with little tid bits people say behind closed doors with ticky tack things by throwing a tantrum, and firing or throwing out anyone and everyone who is critical??

    or

    -Deal with little tid bits people say behind closed doors with ticky tack things by maybe first reaching out to people, listening to them, and trying to find common ground where the whole of the body of your department, company, church body, family, etc. can find a way to move forward productively despite not everyone always seeing eye to eye???

    So seriously... which one of these management or leadership responses do you support??
