Why would a European nation at war with someone like Russia place themselves in a line to vote? I think he's a bum, a fake coward, but that logic makes sese


You are asking why a nation at war might want to vote?

Are you retarded or something?

So... when does the RIPPING take place?


Sounds like a FOX news headline. "So and so RIPPED for her ridiculous statement about x". Then you click on the story and it's one reporter who called her out.

I dont think that was a rip.....I think its makes much more sense than many realize. In the USA we can have elections during a war because we are so large and have borders with nations that couldn't harm a fly.



We had elections at the height of the U.S. Civil War

Should’ve referred him to the year 1864 in our own country’s history.

Well, from Ukraine's perspective, it would be like us having a national election with California, Oregon, and Washington occupied, fighting, and unable to vote. Even if you did it, the legitimacy would be challenged.

I don't think Trump made that statement to "[RIP] Zelensky," because Zelensky said that was in accordance to their Constitution. Rather, I believe it was said by Trump TO trigger the left.

Agreed, but not being a thing never stopped liberals from flipping out before.

Americans can get all preachy about it, but for the most part we've never had to field elections with an invader on our soil. By November of 1864 we were on a hell raising tour of the South.

Were you stoned every day of American History class in high school? Were we, or were we not, involved in a major world war in both Europe and Asia in 1944, and did we or did we not have a Presidential election anyway?

How'd that work out for Honolulu?

We had House and Senate elections in 1942, just 5 months after the Battle of Midway, when the entire Pacific Coast was still vulnerable to attack.

When Trump swore in he agreed to inherit Biden’s shortcomings. Thats how shite works. Anyone who hasn’t inherited someone else’s problems and had to fix them is blessed. The higher profile the position, the likely higher the shitstorm you’re inheriting.

This shouldn’t be a tough concept to grasp.

Because maybe their citizens want to end the war and there's a candidate that promises to end it. If 90% want a war to end, but the President wants to keep fighting, it seems that you're arguing that he should be able to cancel the election.
