Nah, Roger is pretty honest about what he thinks. Especially when they are just trolls spewing nonsense.
lulz at Russia's leadership's money they stole from the Russian people being frozen and no longer available to buy yachts, pay for orgies and prostitutes. (Panama Papers) No wonder they are so mad and taking it out on a smaller country. The problem is, USSR's corrupt Communist Party wasn't snuffed out when the USSR broke up. So, Putin, a KGB dinosaur, is nothing more than a power mad money grubbing delusional dictator. Not too different from Mugabe, Sadam Hussein and Gaddafi. If Putin doesn't find a way out of the mess he started, he'll join them in Hell.

It would only cost half that to end homeless in the US. Why haven't we prioritized that?Any votes to send Paul to the Russian side of the fighting?
Rand Paul objection delays $40 billion Ukraine aid package
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) hit the brakes Thursday on bipartisan hopes that the Senate could quickly pass nearly $40 billion in Ukraine aid before leaving town for the week.
Paul objected to a deal offered by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) that would have set up votes on Thursday afternoon on the funding and on an amendment from Paul, who wanted to include language in the bill to expand an Afghanistan inspector general role to include oversight of the Ukraine funds.
Paul blocked the votes because he wants his language inserted into the text of the bill instead of having to take his chance with an amendment vote, which could be blocked. The stalemate will delay the Senate’s passage of the Ukraine package until at least next week, and potentially beyond.
“I think they’re going to have to go through the long way,” Paul told The Hill about what comes next after the floor standoff.
The roadblock comes after senators and staff haggled privately for hours on Thursday to try to find a path toward passing the Ukraine aid before they wrapped up their work for the week. Senators were also eager to avoid making changes to the bill, which would require it to go back to the House for a second vote.
Though senators say they were told during closed-door lunches to hang around, by mid-afternoon members of leadership and senators were spotted leaving the Capitol.
Schumer and McConnell then appeared on the Senate floor to try to set up votes on the Ukraine aid. Under the Senate’s rules any one senator can try to quickly set up a vote or pass a bill, but it only takes one senator to object.
Under the deal offered by Schumer and McConnell, the Senate would have first voted on stand-alone legislation from Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) to establish a special inspector general for the Ukraine aid.
After that the Senate would have taken up the $40 billion in Ukraine assistance, with a vote on Paul’s amendment. To get included in the Ukraine assistance, Paul’s proposal would have needed 60 votes.
“There is now only one thing holding us back, the junior senator from Kentucky is preventing swift passage of Ukraine aid because he wants to add, at the last minute, his own changes directly into the bill … He is not even asking for an amendment. He is simply saying my way or the highway,” Schumer said.
“I’m offering to hold a vote on his amendment, even though I disagree with it. Let the chamber speak its will. Let both sides of the aisle have input and for heaven’s sake, let Ukraine funding get done ASAP,” Schumer added.
McConnell had signaled that he wanted to get the Ukraine package passed on Thursday. He added that while he understood that Paul wanted to change the bill that the “simple way to solve this” was to have a vote on Paul’s amendment and then a vote on the Ukraine aid, as Schumer offered.
“Ukraine is not asking us to fight this war. They’re only asking for the resources they need to defend themselves against this deranged invasion, and they need help right now,” McConnell said.
Paul, however, warned about the pace of spending, arguing that “we cannot save Ukraine by dooming the U.S. economy.”
“Americans are feeling the pain [from inflation] and Congress seems intent only on adding to that pain by shoveling more money out the door as fast as they can,” Paul said.

i'm fairly sure they told you not to do it again...in that forum....bring that thread to the politics forum and i doubt they would say boo to you...
i also have no doubt it was brought to their attention by one of three or four members who are hyper sensitive to any political thought outside of this forum, mainly because i think they're fucktard magat pieces of shit and know that none of us will stand for their horseshit, so they watch for any instance to shut anyone else down...

that website is full of horseshit...you try to place anyone in any kind of program for 12,800 dollars a year...and what about those that don't want help? you gonna force them into some government program they don't want to be a part of? i'm all for helping those who want help, but if they don't want help, all you're going to do is force them to move on to some place where people will fuck off and quit trying to make themselves feel better for helping the "poor homeless people"...and the chick who wrote that article is a digital marketing assistant...just who i want to be giving me information about anything not related to digital marketing...It would only cost half that to end homeless in the US. Why haven't we prioritized that?

it doesn't take into account paying for the thousands of new workers you would need to support all these "permanent supportive housing" projects..nor does it even start to explore the difficulties of passing any of this into laws that will work together from state to state...or get any republican support in any state. you figure out how to get rid of the fucking republicans and you will have solved about 75% of the problem

did it occur to you that he may be saying he is a Comanche who takes scalps, not someone taking Comanche scalps?
both are offensive and stupid, and racist....but for different reasons.

I'm not suggesting that anyone who doesn't not want to be helped is forced into anything, however most people who experience homelessness do want help. If you think the numbers are wrong, feel free to post what you think the cost would be.

Well, in a health forum "Mental Health" is a valid topic.
Sure non-paid (moderator) folks have to maintain order and to "buoy" the flow of topics. Working for free, well that is a bad thing.
Otherwise people would be saying "Gee Friendly_Grower" you are right! Killing and cutting the skin and hair of native Americans is a bad thing.
Well that isn't happening now is it!
Prove me wrong.
Systemic racism exposed? Prove me wrong.

I am free to take it as I wish unless you are saying this is not a democracy.

Oh for sure.
We are wealthy enough in material support that we have access to the Internet.
That is not a given for all the people of the world.
Just try going one year outside. Even in California.
We can talk then.

ok...no one here is supporting the asshole with the offensive name...he thought of it on his own, and while it is offensive, i'm not sure if it breaks any kind of rules...you have to remember that this website is not a democracy, it is a monarchy...the owner is king, and the mods are his peace keepers. they enforce the rules as they are given them to enforce.
just because no one is hopping on your party wagon doesn't mean we support his bad behavior, nor does it mean anyone here is in favor of scalping or being scalped by anyone....
as far as systemic racism...this is just one case of one person choosing an offensive name, not a long trail of incidents establishing a pattern of racist behavior by anyone on this website, except the douchebag with the fucked up name.
most of us choose not to empower him by engaging with him, and we certainly aren't going to go off on rants about his name, which will just encourage him and others to come back with even more offensive shit for all of us to deal with.

it was an alternate view point....i didn't ever take that name as him saying he was going to go scalp Comanche indians, i took it to mean that he finds that very rare and obsolete behavior admirable, and wants to consider himself as someone he thinks is strong and admirable, all be it for completely wrong and fucked up reasons.
and, as i already mentioned, this is NOT a democracy, it's a privately owned website with an owner who equates to king of the realm, and we are mere peons allowed to use the area for meaningful (well....) interactions, at his discretion.
