Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has some sort of financial influence over former President Trump.

In an interview with MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” Pelosi said Putin is the “richest person in the world” and has “stiff competition” to being named the most evil person in the world.

Pelosi asked “what does he have on Donald Trump that he’d have to constantly be catering to Putin?”

Her comments came just after Trump doubled down on his criticism of NATO and said he would encourage Russia to attack U.S. allies who fail to reach the alliance’s defense spending goals. Trump has also declined to criticize Putin for the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison last week.

    Well. I think we’ve established very clearly that you denying a genocide that is happening right now is going on proves that you don’t give a shit about queer people.

        Nope. In fact, as I already told you, I talk about it regularly. It’s horrific and it won’t stop until Israel controls the entirety of Palestine.

        I, unlike you, do not deny genocides.

        But then you don’t give a shit about queer people.

          Which is the Cornel West credo:

          1. No imperialism

          2. Genocide all the queers

            I’m not talking about Cornel West. I’m talking about you.

            I’m guessing if Cornel West were asked if there was an ongoing queer genocide in the United States, he would not deny it like you did.

            You are the one who doesn’t give a shit about queer people, not Cornel West.

              There is no queer genocide the link you sent implies that there will be one in 2025. Consider doing reading.

              You like to throw the word Genocide around so much that the gun-control issue could be classified as a “child Genocide”.

              And you’re the one voting for Genocide just keep that clear.

                The link I provided and quoted from specifically says that the queer genocide is happening right now.

                I will quote it again:

                Sue E. Spivey and Christine Robinson have argued that the ex-gay movement, which encourages transgender as well as other LGBT people to renounce their identities, advocates social death and therefore could meet some legal definitions of genocide.[32]: 68–70  Spivey and Robinson argued that “by waging a culture war using hate propaganda and misusing scientific research to gain public legitimacy, the movement seeks to deploy state powers and the medical profession to perpetrate genocidal acts on its behalf.”[32]: 83

                Cornel West would not deny this. Because he gives a shit about queer people.

                You deny it because you do not give a shit about queer people.

                    Cornel West would call it a targeted campaign of hate, not a Genocide.

                    Prove it.

                    Please stop abusing terms for your own gain.

                    Says the person who calls something that fits the UN definition of genocide as “a targeted campaign of hate”

                    Even if the term Genocide applied

                    It is.

                    it’s despicable that you are willing to willingly comply with the factual mass Genocide of others to prevent your own.

                    Are you somehow incapable of understanding the difference between a person and their daughter?

                    But you don’t care about others that much is clear.

                    Again, do you understand what “daughter” means?

                    Oppression only applies to you.

                    Yep. You definitely don’t know what “daughter” means.
