You agree with him when he says bad things about Trudeau. You don’t agree with him when he says bad things about Trump. I totally understand. Matt totally gets it unless it comes to Trump. Then he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

I can't read those articles due to the paywall. Maybe you can post them here.

In hindsight, we can look at what he said and agree or disagree with what he said.

Those are, in fact, both of the options.

Haha, we can even agree or disagree with parts or whole of what he wrote.

Let me guess. When he attacks people you want to attack, you agree with him. When he attacks Trump, he’s obviously way off base?

They got the guy. I’m sure they will find out everything. I assume since In2 posted it that the victim is a right winger and the assailant was a left winger.

There are 1,700 homicides every day on planet earth and you randomly picked this guy to post about? You had no idea who he was. You just saw that someone was killed and decided to post about it.

The leader of a country is just one of random attempted homicides? For some reason it was newsworthy, by not just me, but a lot of outlets. Do a lot of leaders of their country randomly get shot multiple times daily in your world?

Why are you being such a prick lately?

I guess because I am sick of Trump and Maga. Conspiracy theories about conspiracy theories on top of conspiracy theories. Every single Democracy in the world is now labeled an authoritarian government by you and Maga and the real authoritarian governments get a total pass and praised. If I hadn’t met you in person I would swear you have to be a Russian troll here to help destroy Democracy in America.

What are the odds?

https://apnews.com/article/robert-fico- ... 2d664a5e6d
FICO - After five years in opposition, Fico’s party won parliamentary elections last year on a pro-Russian and anti-American platform. He vowed to bring an end to Slovakia providing Ukraine with military support as it battled Russia’s full-scale invasion, and has argued that NATO and the United States provoked Moscow into war.

After his election victory, the new government immediately halted arms deliveries to Ukraine. Thousands repeatedly took to the streets across Slovakia to rally against Fico’s pro-Russian and other policies, including plans to amend the penal code to eliminate a special anti-graft prosecutor and to take control of public media.

So, was it NATO that tried to assassinate him?

You asking me? I never heard of the guy. You think I know who shot him? Obviously somebody didn’t like him.

In In2's defense, it is totally newsworthy that someone tried to kill a prime minister of a country.

It is newsworthy. I just assumed that since in2 posted it, the victim had to be someone on the right.

The guy was an anti US pro Russian guy.
