The Republican-led Senate voted decisively to punish Moscow for interfering in the 2016 election by approving a wide-ranging sanctions package that targets key sectors of Russia's economy and individuals who carried out cyber attacks.
Senators on Wednesday passed the bipartisan sanctions legislation 97-2, underscoring broad support among Republicans and Democrats for rebuking Russia after U.S. intelligence agencies determined Moscow had deliberately interfered in the presidential campaign. Lawmakers who backed the measure also cited Russia's aggression in Syria and Ukraine.

I can't tell the difference in how they behave, or their mental stability. Not to mention, Trump is fond of dictators. Lemme see.... oh yeah... Trump has talked and joked about killing/imprisoning the press.
I could go on, but yes, there are striking similarities between Trump and Little Kimmie. The major difference? Both are dictators, but one is facing a hell of a lot of checks and balances, and is unable to rule like a dictator. The major similarity? They both whip up hate and fear to better control the populace.
Perhaps you don't want to acknowledge the similarities between them, but they do exist. They're very similar sociopaths, just operating in different environments.
I doubt that. You can't be on the "crazy left" and be okay with President Dumbass and what they're doing. You would be more frothing mad than I already am, and I'm more of a centrist and right leaning than YOU are. Yet you are mostly okay with what he is doing, so you are lying about being on the left. You sound like a centrist that doesn't want to be associated with the right.
We do agree on something. I doubt it will be a productive conversation if what Trump is doing now doesn't bother you. I guess we would need actual murdered babies and concentration camps being set up next door before you become bothered enough huh?
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

You're not actually all that good at reading comprehension.
At no point did I say I didn't mind it. I said that he wasn't as bad as I expected him to be. I also said that I don't hate him.
If you can't be intellectually honest with yourself, you sure as hell won't be honest with me.

You can't expect everyone to have the same level of emotional reaction. Trump is terrible and the GOP is green lighting some of the worst stuff because trump is dumb enough to go along. However, this is nothing new. Rights eroding, public services defended, par for the course really. KGIII has a very good point, life is too short for hatred. Get mad, but let it go and move forward rationally.
