All Trump has to say, is we had peace and prosperity, until the CCP unleashed covid-19 and Putin not invading Ukraine or other mischief, especially with gas prices going through the roof now.

The media is prepped to hop on Trump whether he says something good or bad about Putin.

Spin it fast and hard as you can AP. Putin attacked his neighbors during Bush W, Obama, and Biden...but never during Trump. So spin spin spin spin your remaining shreds of credibility away AP.

Does anyone else believe that this crap is going to end, or improve the way that the communists constantly make enemies out of more than half the American people?

Every day is groundhog day for the degenerate media.

While Bill Murray’s movie character relived each day with improvements,
the media regurgitates, and gets worse.

No pivot necessary, or did you miss the RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA campaign over the last few years. [They] have been building for this moment for a while now, as they deflected from China and made Russia the bad guy.

Because Russia and Trump were the bulwark against Deep State hegemony and total control. This was always coming.

And Freepers are supporting it.

But she only drives less than 5000 miles a year
