It is his fault, and the fault of the people who elected him and who continue to enable him. The country can’t function if this is the leadership we have. 0172 0
jamesspeters.bsky.social @jamesspeters.bsky.social · 4hOh absolutely. My disagreement with Tom was just that there were a goodly handful of Putin simps in the GOP back then. I agree with his larger point. It wasn’t representative of the GOP, as it is today, thanks to the monster our country elected President. 000 0
jamesspeters.bsky.social @jamesspeters.bsky.social · 6ht was actually “GOPer”. Buchanan ran for the presidency as a Republican twice. He was a “GOPer” by any reasonable understanding in my opinion. His move to the reform party was a means of political viability. He was the type of populist Tom’s post was calling “poison”. 100 0

jamesspeters.bsky.social @jamesspeters.bsky.social · 6hI never suggested he was representative of most Republicans. He certainly was not a representative of (former) Republicans like me, a Reagan conservative. But he and his ilk were certainly Republicans who saw Putin as a social conservative fellow traveler. 100 0

jamesspeters.bsky.social @jamesspeters.bsky.social · 15/10/2026As usual, Trump logic is amusing. Cornyn and Rove are “ineffective hacks” who have “ineffectively opposed” him for his entire political career. BUT, if Texas goes blue, it is specifically and entirely their fault! They will have somehow become super-effective! 000 0
