Even the consideration of that man in any kind of governmental capacity should be shot out of the water immediately. And on the phone with Trump and Zelensky? A man who is tight with Putin? Add in Gabbard, who a lot of smart people believe is a Russian asset, to head national intelligence?
Putin's fingerprints will be all over this administration. They already are. They worked very hard to get Trump elected. For a reason.

@Ynotisay But not enough people cared about the country to stop it happening. So maybe they need the wake up call thats coming..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Yep. It seems to me that the only way certain types of people ever wake is when they themselves are personally impacted by something. They can play their games about oppressing others and "draining the swamp" but when the rubber hits the road, and they lose, then there's a chance. But even with that, there's no guarantee. Rural people have their air and water poisoned yet still support the poisoners. I'll never understand it.

Rural America does not subscribe to CNN or FoxNews because cable TV is not available rurally in America beyond the edge of any large urban center. It's for sure that local news networks that farmers can pick up with rabbit ears on their TVs are not spending air time talking about Donald Trump, so how do farmers learn about this dude called "Donald"?
They don't! That's always been my point whenever I've criticized Americans for being uneducated. The only Americans who are educated politically are those who subscribe to cable TV AND who actually listen to the news daily which is otherwise predominated by politics and not local news at all.
Additionally, rural America typically votes from tradition, not from current affairs. If some farmer's granddaddy voted Republican back in 1960, I can assure you that today's American farmers will be voting Republican on principle alone for what Republicanism once stood for in their granddaddy's time and every child of every American farmer will be raised to understand that 'R' is for good and 'D' is for bad.
That in part is why Americans at large voted Donald Trump back into power. Americans are not stupid, they are just uneducated. They remain uneducated because they don't actually know who Trump is and what he's all about and therefore did not know the consequences of their Republican vote... but they're about to find out! 🤣

@Ynotisay I admit this is my mistake, because I am still trying to find a rational reason (theres the problem right there) for Trump doing everything he is doing before he has to. And the only one I can come up with is that he wants to scare all the people who dont like his plan to become emperor of America into leaving the country immediately, so he doesnt get a push back from protests. Every appointment announcement he has made so far seems to be the worst possible option. And this BS about a "warriors board" to fire high ranking military he doest approve of is straight out of Project 2025, to guarantee the military will turn on the people if he wishes.. That cant be an accident. Its clear he expects to live long enough for a third term..Not that I care any more. Americans have blown all the opportunities to save the nation..😷

Do you think I've got a fuking map of Kansas sitting in front of me, ffs's?
Is the place you're referring to which you allege has full cable TV service between Kansas City and Salina Kansas, in the middle of Kansas farmland ...or is it adjacent to an urban center?

Dale, that is twice I've asked you the same question and that is also twice that you've been unable to answer a very simple question. The reason you cannot answer my question about rural Kansas having cable TV service is because rural cable TV service doesn't exist in rural Kansas.
