To debate on America's most pressing issue: a border dispute between two foreign nations.

I guess when Republicans refuse to debate, someone had to step up?

Blumenthal? Anti-establishment?

He was a writer for The Nation, AlterNet,[2] The Daily Beast, Al Akhbar, and Media Matters for America,[3][4] and has contributed to Al Jazeera English, The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.[3] He has been a writing fellow of the Nation Institute.[5] He is a regular contributor to Russian state-owned Sputnik and RT

Yes, he's such a rebel against The Man.

No need to sell me on him. You had me at pro russian.

Journalists m9ve around a lot, should treat them on the articles and substance of their work, maybe, oh well.

Yeah, who wouldn't be pro-Russian these days, what with their invading sovereign countries and oppressing LGBTQ people inside their borders? And then there's the bishops blessing nuclear weapons. Great place. Absolutely wonderful.

If I am in favor of someone, I need to be 100% in on all they do. Got it.

In reality, I do not agree with people on 100% of what they do/say.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

So you're saying that other than oppressing its own people for daring to love someone other than the opposite gender or being their birth gender, invading a sovereign country and blessing nuclear weapons as holy objects, Russia is a wonderful place and supporting them is the right thing to do. Gotcha.

How do you feel about North Korea?

Nope. If RFK is speaking there won't be any coherent thoughts on display.
