RR is not a moderate. Yours and my definitions of moderate differ.

I am a close to centre progressive. We do not have to declare party affiliation for primaries and politics is seldom mentioned in conversation.

He's delusional... I was once a Social Liberal and a Fiscal Conservative Democrat until I realized that the democrat party had left me behind in their rush to the far Left. I would not support them and changed my political identification to Independant... but vote almost a pure Republican ticket to try and restore some kind of balance in our political system.

Not exactly, but you're close. Russia prefers a stooge in the White House.

Instead he got someone that pulled the nations that prefer democracy to totalitarianism together to help Ukraine fend off an unprovoked Russian military attack.

The only deed that I ever do that matters is my acceptance of Jesus’ free offer of salvation. The lack of doing that one deed will certainly land one in the lake of fire for all eternity.

RR may drink in moderation but his party is not a moderate leaning party now and RR can't see it as he has always followed the demorat playbook. Hitlery had RR pegged right when she uttered her famous words that demorats are easily lead and easily deceived.

Putin knew he could drain our military resources and our financial resources by playing cat and mouse with slo joe. You can see that Putin is winning since our military hardware is being drained and the amount of money we are sending to that stupid war is draining us and putting us so far in debt that we will never climb out. Plus slo joe is laundering money again and using that money for his social injustice and gay as hell rights agenda. Joe loves everything that is bad for America. The corrupt demorat party is going to start WW3 with China, Russia and Iran aligned against us.

I share those same concerns.

$100 Billion in weapons and aid sent to Ukraine in the last year (2022)...with Zelenskyy's hand still in our wallet.

And let's not forget Ole Joe draining our Strategic Petroleum Reserves:

"US Crude Oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Stocks is at a current level of 371.58M, unchanged from 371.58M last week and down from 580.02M one year ago. This is a change of 0.00% from last week and -35.94% from one year ago."

In 2019, Trump added over 3 million barrels... COVID hit and and then Biden was in. We went from over 600 million barrel to now down to about 371 million barrels;

" In March, 2022 U.S. President Joe Biden announced a directive to release 1 million barrels of crude oil per day on average for six months, totaling 180 million barrels. The White House news release said the Biden administration’s record release of oil was intended to lower rising energy costs as Russia's invasion of Ukraine disrupted supply."

Oil can be pumped from the SPR at 4.4 million barrels a day. we would have about 90 days of oil supply in an emergency and the Military would get theirs, first...

Can we add the cost of our depleted SPR to to cost of the war in Ukraine?

No, Trump won't be elected, again... The Democrats will do anything and everything they can to keep him out of the Office... Too bad, we could really use him to Make America Great Again.

Don't be so pessimistic. Trump has as good a shot as anyone else of winning the Presidency.

America is great. There are far worse places to live and few to none better.

There is no going back to the post war 50’s.
