    ‘I’ve got morons on my team’: Romney blasts fellow GOP members for attending White nationalist event and supporting Putin

    https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/27/politics/mitt-romney-gop-ukraine-russia/index.html

    “Look, there is no place in either political party for this White nationalism or racism. It’s simply wrong … it’s evil as well,” Romney told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.” “(Rep.) Marjorie Taylor Greene and (Rep.) Paul Gosar, I don’t know them, but I’m reminded of that old line from the ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ movie where - where one character says, ‘Morons, I’ve got morons on my team.’ And I have to think anybody that would sit down with White nationalists and speak at their conference was certainly missing a few IQ points.”

    Your "hot takes" come off like the Walmart version of Nostradamus quatrains.

    Good. Thanks for noticing. If your "truth" plays out, I'll buy you a beer. Not at the Acropolis.

    I just can’t wrap my head around anyone in the US supporting Russia. I was raised in the 80s to hate Russia.

    You first tell me what "Your "hot takes" come off like the Walmart version of Nostradamus quatrains" means and I'll then tell you.

    Nostradamus wrote his predictions for the future in what is called a quatrain. They were very vague and could/are used as proof of almost any major person or event since his death. From Napolean to Hitler, to Stalin, and now Putin, to events like WW I, WW II, 9/11, covid, and so on.

    So I was saying that like a Nostradamus quatrain, some of your posts are so vague that you can claim they mean almost anything.

    World's largest plane reportedly destroyed in Ukraine

    (CNN) — The world's largest aircraft, the Antonov AN-225, has been destroyed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to Ukrainian officials, generating alarm and sadness among the aviation world in which it occupies almost cult status.

    The enormous aircraft, named "Mriya," or "dream" in Ukrainian, was parked at an airfield near Kyiv when it was attacked by "Russian occupants," Ukrainian authorities said, adding that they would rebuild the plane.

    "Russia may have destroyed our 'Mriya'. But they will never be able to destroy our dream of a strong, free and democratic European state. We shall prevail!" wrote Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Twitter.

    And your way of doing it is to ignore all the people who were right on that subject? Interesting strategy.

    Now just think if you were raised in the 50s or 60s.
    Communism whether it is Russian or Chinese isn’t a good thing.
