“Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt….”

– Donald Trump, suggesting Putin was an aggrieved party who suffered

.

“No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice-president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.”

– David Frum

.

“Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day—when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.”

– Liz Cheney, (former Representative, R-WY)

"I'm overjoyed to see Donald Trump and most Americans embrace most of the issues that I've championed for years."

– David Duke, former Grand Wizard of the KKK. (Note: In the 2020 election, Duke initially endorsed Tulsi Gabbard, then Trump after Gabbard was out of the running. In 2024, Duke endorsed Jill Stein.)

Duke was for anti-semitism before he was against it?

I am still laughing at the notion that he has endorsed a Jewish Presidential Candidate who ended up renouncing his support for obvious reasons.

Then again, Stein is pro-RT which means pro-Kremlin so she’s got explaining to do herself.

Political corruption and extremism does indeed make for strange bedfellows.

As I understand it, David Duke grew disillusioned with Trump’s emphatic pro-Israel stance. On the other hand, he applauded Jill Stein’s vehement anti-Israel position, and even more so the pro-Hamas stance of her VP running mate. Strange bedfellows, indeed!

But now we’re getting dangerously close to forbidden topics, and that was not my intention.

Sure. I just find that David Duke is willing to be this “open” to supporting different political candidates like Jill Stein.

On the other hand, white nationalists and supremacists are notoriously anti-interventionist from what I have understood.

I was saying on here years back . . .watch Duke's 1991 debate with Edwin Edwards. The similarities to Trump re: rhetoric and messaging are eerie.
