I'm still hoping and praying Trump decides not to run. But I would have to reconsider my pledge not to vote for him if it's between Biden and him again.

Please god, Tom Cotton or Tulsi Gabbard, throw your hat in the ring.

It's interesting polls say 62% of Americans believe Putin wouldn't have invaded if Trump was president. I think Trump was effective in policy, but he's a narcissist. I don't really have a problem with that, except narcissist are supposed to be smart and great at psychological manipulation and Trump has the ability of a used car salesman. I could tolerate a used car salesman, but not a dumb narcissist.

Or coupled with bounties on Pootlers head might give the Russian people some ideas. He's sending hit squads against Zelensky, the leader of a sovereign foreign nation, so why would his own people taking him out be such a bad thing?

I'm not saying it's a bad thing but I'm pretty sure they didn't need Lindsey to point that out.

Clickbait, Trump was permanently banned from twitter in Jan 2021, the reason: He hurt too many feelings with his mean tweets.

Nah. The real reason was they were embarrasingly childish and stupid comments.

After Banning Trump For Denouncing Violence, Twitter Lets Putin Keep His Account

https://thefederalist.com/2022/03/04...p-his-account/

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Twitter account, which has 1.5 million followers, remained active as of Friday, as Putin’s forces continue their invasion of Ukraine and attacks on the Ukrainian people.

the platform has repeatedly allowed brutal foreign regimes to keep their accounts. Ali Khamenei, supreme leader of Iran, maintains an account with nearly 900,000 followers, despite using his Twitter to call for Israel to be “uprooted and destroyed” and pledge support for anyone who “opposes and fights the Zionist regime.”

And ....

Twitter has also continued to allow Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid to use his official account to push Taliban propaganda, during and since the group’s violent takeover of Afghanistan in August.

I also saw the "new" Trump account on twitter, but it would be big news if he was really back on.

We do now know, Joey and the Democrats are the leaders and the smartest of the free world.And every Nato country must accept the leadership that comes from present day Washington. You do know that politicians by nature are narcissist and do live in bubbles high in the clouds above you right.
