Whatever they’re saying in those supposed Russian deepfakes about Biden, I’ll bet one billion dollars it’s not worse than killing thousands of babies. Pretty hard to top mass murderer, but hey, you’re welcome to argue a try.
How do you expect to know whether or not babies are being killed in the future if you don't know whether or not any video you see is real?
I suppose I’ll do what you do, turn on my TV and ask the corporations what I’m supposed to be thinking.
I didn't realize I watched commercial TV. What else do I do that I don't know about?
It would literally be hundreds of millions of babies that die all through the world if Trump wins and let's Russia try to take over the world.
And anyway, no matter what Biden does, Israel is going to remove the terrorists that keep raping women, shooting rockets at civilian houses, and trying to exterminate their families with or without US help. And we need their help in that region of the world with very few free democracies to rely on.
Holy shit, you’re an actual psychopath. We don’t need any help in that part of the world, because that part of the world isn’t our fucking country, you shitnozzle. We aren’t the arbiters of fucking justice, we don’t need to be fucking about in other countries. Take that imperialist bullshit and shove it up your ass, and leave places that aren’t the United States alone. You shit liberals have already fucked up your own nation beyond saving, don’t be exporting your flavor of deranged lunacy anywhere else.
