It’s pretty easy to curry favor with a movement whose only real priority seems to be willing to say you even tepidly support Donald Trump.
They give him an standing ovation so that must mean MAGA has Marxist infiltration?
lol
It's called being polite.

To hear opposing viewpoints in a polite forum?
We are allowed to do that, right?
You do bring up good points about MAGA but at the same time your TDS gets ridiculous at times.

Dude do you know who Cenk is and what he has said about Trump and MAGA for 8 years?
Yes, I know what he is and has said but what is wrong with having him there? He's not there because MAGA is infiltrated with Marxists, dude.

I heard he overpowered the secret service’s guards and took the wheel from the limo driver and made them take them there by force all while having a mental breakdown

MAGA: We just won big! Let's have a big conference. How about we invite a committed Marxist who has called us all terrorists for a decade??
Sounds good. Standing ovation!
Clown show. My biggest fears of this ****show are unfolding quickly

I dunno, seems to me that Panama has taken the proper stance on the issue of the possession of its things. We can posture all we want about how the Panama Canal was built or sold to Panama, but we made the sale, it’s their canal. Perhaps we should strategically partner with Panama instead of seemingly threatening them with an international crime?

I seem to recall little thethe telling me to let him know when Trump does something authoritarian. He isn't even in ofoldice yet and he wants to invade a country to take their land.
My guess is Trump has some business interest in the country that isn't going his way and he is using this as leverage. But what do I know.

On December 23, 1783, General George Washington stood in front of the Confederation Congress, meeting in the senate chamber of the Maryland State House, to resign his wartime commission. Negotiators had signed the Treaty of Paris ending the Revolutionary War on September 3, 1783, and once the British troops had withdrawn from New York City, Washington believed his job was done.
“The great events on which my resignation depended having at length taken place; I have now the honor of offering my sincere Congratulations to Congress and of presenting myself before them to surrender into their hands the trust committed to me, and to claim the indulgence of retiring from the Service of my Country,” he told the members of Congress.
“Happy in the confirmation of our Independence and Sovereignty, and pleased with the opportunity afforded the United States of becoming a respectable Nation, I resign with satisfaction the Appointment I accepted with diffidence.”
“Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theatre of Action; and bidding an Affectionate farewell to this August body under whose orders I have so long acted, I here offer my Commission, and take my leave of all the employments of public life.”
In 1817, given the choice of subjects to paint for the Rotunda in the U.S. Capitol, being rebuilt after the British had burned it during the War of 1812, fine artist John Trumbull picked the moment of Washington’s resignation. As they discussed the project, he told President James Madison: “I have thought that one of the highest moral lessons ever given to the world, was that presented by the conduct of the commander-in-chief, in resigning his power and commission as he did, when the army, perhaps, would have been unanimously with him, and few of the people disposed to resist his retaining the power which he had used with such happy success, and such irreproachable moderation.”
Madison agreed, and the painting of a man voluntarily giving up power rather than becoming a dictator hangs today in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol.

Why do we want Greenland?
It's like Trump is stuck in COld War era stuff where having more chess pieces is good. But like are we chomping at the bit for cheaper fish? Is that his goal?
