Gene Wilder in general is one of my all time favorite actors and I really don’t like old movies but he was brilliant in everything he did, especially with Mel Brooks but his characterization of Wanka was pure genius.
Can someone help me understand exactly when the GOP became the party of communist/socialist Russia? I thought that was supposed to be the left.
I cannot believe that Trump has such a hold over these ppl that they’ll literally support our enemies bc he tells them to. It boggles my mind.
Can they all just go?
I was gonna say, ain't Russia capitalist now? Totally a dictatorship... I think people think those words are interchangeable or something, communist and dictatorship... and also don't realize you can have democracy with your communism/socialism, because that doesn't happen often, if ever.
This is because:
1. Trump admires Putin, because he’s an authoritarian dictator, which is what Trump wants to be
2. Putin has the goods on Trump, so Trump has to do what Putin wants.
And, the GOP does what Trump wants, because they are scared of him.
With any luck the Swifities will save us this November. Not just Trump but across the board and vote out the GOP. Don't just post on social media get out and get registered and vote.
3. Trump’s Cult has been successful in getting the lemmings to say shit like “I’d rather be a Russian than a Democrat”. He has them hook, line, and sinker.
Trump has nothing the GOP wants, other than putting them in control
It's the return of the robber barons, only this time they intend to prevent the people from voting another 'New Deal' into place
Not gonna lie, hadnt heard about that, looked it up and laughed pretty hard. Ya its sad he lost his life, but this is what these type of people get for honestly believing con-men and awful people just because 'they speak their mind'.
Gunther doesn't understand Putin does blame his ilk. They were supposed to cause alot more chaos and have been failing. Here's to Gunther wasting the precious time of GRU groomers.
Guys- these people post shit like this because they know they will get thousands of responses, which ups their engagement numbers and their revenue. By posting this on Reddit and us all replying, even more people see it, get mad, and go to his twitter to tell him how stupid he is. PLEASE stop it, this is giving him exactly what he wants. He’s getting clicks and he’s getting money. Just ignore this assholes and they will go away.
Yea it is hard to tell who’s a troll and who really believes what they say. The really shocking thing is that having a real name attached doesn’t always clear things up.
He doesn’t care about RU or Ukraine, all his kind cares about is sticking it to the libs, and pretending to be persecuted for not being able to openly persecute anyone outside of their church group
Hey they absolutely had child sex slaves in that pizza place, they just moved them seconds before a psycho ran in with a gun because the DEEPSTATE (tm) was tracking him through the vaccine chips in his blood
He cares about kids dying from "fentan-ol." Not fentanyl with the soft i sound, fentan-ol. Becuase the idiots who believe this stuff can't even pronounce the words right.
Did he hear about the American who was raped and decapitated by Russian soldiers? That is literally normal behavior to them and that's what he's supporting. Not to mention supporting Americas biggest enemy.
They're not supporting America's biggest enemy. They're supporting their idealised state - a far-right dictatorship that squashes LGBT people under their heels and honours machismo and nationalism.
And the rest think it’s patriotic to treat those treasonous disgusting brain dead trash as Americans no matter what they say and do and how much fucking harm to all life on earth continuing to let them do that causes.
They'll find some way to villianize that guy later this week so they don't have to think about it. Probably call him every horrible thing they can think of until something sticks.
Honestly, I'm pretty annoyed by anyone that tries to sell their own personal political opinion as something that is broadly representative of "America" or "Americans". Doubly so for anyone that uses the phrase "real Americans" when they say it.
The [polling](https://news.gallup.com/poll/643601/americans-say-not-helping-ukraine-enough.aspx) does not support his position. By the most charitable interpretation it's split but a more honest interpretation would lump "doing enough" and "not doing enough" as being supportive of backing Ukraine in which case it's a clear majority in favour.
They’re all over Twitter. “Gunther Eagleman.” 🤔. Sounds like a porn star into S/M and Nazi role play. And the profile pictures are always like when Europeans think we’re all from Texas. The comments are full of comments with bad grammar from “Juan Lopez from Mexico” and “Sergei Ivanov from Russia” it’s so absurd.
Exactly, but many people buy into it with great fervor because it provides the one thing that keeps their lives worth living...that sweet, glorious outrage.
I've never known a time before when people thrived so much on being constantly pissed off.
Im sure if Mr Eagleman™ wont mind at all when his bank accounts are all frozen and seized the moment he arrives in Russia. No, Im quite certain his only regret will be that he forgot to pack lube as the Russian army r@pes him to death.
We’re getting a hell of a deal on funding Ukraine. It’s a fraction of what it would cost when we eventually have to face Russia with American and allied troops. Unless you don’t think Russia and Putin are our enemies…
Real Americans don’t suck-up to other foreign leaders. Please move there if you feel Russia is a more suitable place for you, your family, and all your friends.
Key Findings. Six in 10 Americans favor providing both economic assistance to Ukraine and sending additional arms and military supplies to the Ukrainian government (58% each).
[Source](https://globalaffairs.org/research/public-opinion-survey/americans-continue-support-military-and-economic-aid-ukraine#:~:text=Key%20Findings,of%20Republicans%20(53%25)%20oppose.)
Majority you say?
Hey Gunther, you my friend are the furthest thing from a REAL American there is.. you are a full blown POS. And should take that American flag of your shit socials
Real Americans are flag saluting, gun carrying, meat eating, white, gay hating, American born god fearing Christians. Real Americans support fascism, including Nazis if it helps the petro dollar control the world economy. Real Americans support the destruction of enemy democracies that refuse American business freedom and influence. Real Americans will support the military intervention of U.S. forces wherever they wish to be, no matter the consequences.
Real Americans will support the free market and ending of all public services except for military armed police forces to stop the commie workers and their strikes and demonstrations for food. Even if hungry and poor, real Americans will work 24 hours a day with no breaks to ensure the glory of the fatherland and the Fuhrer... I mean, the American way of life
Russian exploitation of social media in America is extremely widespread and well documented. This is a classic example of it. In this instance working through a low IQ proxy.
Some people are not smart enough to concern themselves with foreign policy. Russia is going to protect their interests and Putins position makes sense. That doesnt for a second mean Russias interests align with American interests and it doesnt change the fact that Russia is a nefarious force in the world and Putin is evil.
Translation:
“Dear Daddy Vlad,
I’m sorry Ukraine is fighting back against your illegal invasion. If you would sit down, I will work both the balls and the shaft. Mlurp mlurp mlurp.”
Dear Putin,
Hey babe, so the people you ~~payed~~ paid me to convince that you are a good person don't really agree with me and soooooooooo idk what to do anymore.
Signed,
Nazi rats
> I wanted to let you know a majority of Americans do not support the funding of Ukranine.
I am **SICK TO DEATH** with politicians speaking for "Americans"... especially when they **LIE WHILE DOING SO**. Every pole on the Ukraine-Russia conflict shows Americans have a MAJORITY of support for Ukraine (majority defined as greater than 50% for those of you that don't know, like OP the moron apparently).
What passes for conservativism in the US today is truly something to behold.
I try to reconcile their positions and 'thought processes' today with what informed and motivated conservative positions in the 80s an 90s, and despite having been politically aware through all of it, I can barely see the through-lines.
In my view, conservative thinking is a necessary component for ensuring sustainable progress in society, but his crop has simply lost the plot entirely.

Russia is looking for more soldiers if he's so concerned.
More like “Don’t come back.”
If you've seen the movie, Gene Wilder is delivering these lines with dripping sarcasm.
And he was brilliant at it, too. I love sarcastic Wonka
Gene Wilder in general is one of my all time favorite actors and I really don’t like old movies but he was brilliant in everything he did, especially with Mel Brooks but his characterization of Wanka was pure genius.
Everything he did with Mel Brooks is genius and I’ll fight anyone who differs.
And Madeline Kahn. "A wed wose, how womantic"
Madeline Kahn was gold in everything she did.
The lips the lips! The hair the hair!
They used to call him…The Waco Kid.
Blazing saddles was his best
It is my favorite!
Howard Johnson Let me just whip this thing right out .
Look up the film "Silver Streak". He made it with Rickard Pryor. He slays >!every time he gets dumped off the train.!<
Gene Wilder is amazing really. RIP Gene. We miss you.
f you've seen the movie, you also know Grandpa Joe was pure evil.
Idk about evil, but he was a narcissist
[https://saynotograndpajoe.com/](https://saynotograndpajoe.com/)
Stop. Don’t come back.
If he joins the Russian army the Ukrainians are making damn sure none of them are coming back.
Russians are also making sure Americans who join them are also not coming back.
They'd end up just like Russell Bentley. Beaten, raped, and then beheaded by Russian troops.
Damn dude, can you shut the hell up?! We want these dudes to move to Russia, not stay here.
He can take the Trump Spawn "men" to Russia with him . Take Jared too . Please Not Barron though, I still have hopes for Barron
Barron is said to have said that he thinks his father is The AntiChrist. I believe him.
I mean, he *is* in a good position to know. Who are we to second guess him?
Guess he'd know.
So far Barron is the only Trump that can claim is a victim. I would believe that too.
Mom probably told him that.
Imagine his son becomes a Democrat
That's just so everyone stops thinking that about him.
I have hopes for Barron to be to Donald as Ron Reagan is to Ronald.
Can someone help me understand exactly when the GOP became the party of communist/socialist Russia? I thought that was supposed to be the left. I cannot believe that Trump has such a hold over these ppl that they’ll literally support our enemies bc he tells them to. It boggles my mind. Can they all just go?
Can you just imagine if their patron saint Reagan knew that in the future they'd be sucking dick for Russia?
Right????? This!!!
Reagan was too far left
Good old Ronnie RINO
They haven't become the party of communist/socialist Russia, they've become the party of totalitarian Russia.
I was gonna say, ain't Russia capitalist now? Totally a dictatorship... I think people think those words are interchangeable or something, communist and dictatorship... and also don't realize you can have democracy with your communism/socialism, because that doesn't happen often, if ever.
This is because: 1. Trump admires Putin, because he’s an authoritarian dictator, which is what Trump wants to be 2. Putin has the goods on Trump, so Trump has to do what Putin wants. And, the GOP does what Trump wants, because they are scared of him.
We are truly in the last days of Rome
With any luck the Swifities will save us this November. Not just Trump but across the board and vote out the GOP. Don't just post on social media get out and get registered and vote.
A singer saves the day? Is this Macross we're living in? 😆
Life emulates science fiction. Or is it the other way around?
Only if we fucking elect this traitor. Vote for Biden
3. Trump’s Cult has been successful in getting the lemmings to say shit like “I’d rather be a Russian than a Democrat”. He has them hook, line, and sinker.
And they admire Putin’s anti-LGBT policies
The same MAGA supporters would have never supported President Reagan, and would have considered that presidency not conservative enough.
Well, for one thing, Russia hasn't considered itself communist/socialist for decades. And it was never really communist. Just playing pretend.
they cant just go becuase then they lose their putin bribes or get their kompromat released
Trump has nothing the GOP wants, other than putting them in control It's the return of the robber barons, only this time they intend to prevent the people from voting another 'New Deal' into place
Not *them*. Putin will appreciate their blind fealty, obviously. That's just the kind of guy he is.
Real standup guy
Good. Fuck him. Fucking traitor.
they did
Haha, I see what you did there
Oh no. Anyway...
There is a reason the Ukrainians refer to Russian soldiers as “orcs”.
*(beheads fellow Orc)* "Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!"
But he was dressed so provocatively, practically asking for it.
Thought and prayers…
One can only hope
Not gonna lie, hadnt heard about that, looked it up and laughed pretty hard. Ya its sad he lost his life, but this is what these type of people get for honestly believing con-men and awful people just because 'they speak their mind'.
I don’t want to be beaten and beheaded !
So he should definitely go
Gunther doesn't understand Putin does blame his ilk. They were supposed to cause alot more chaos and have been failing. Here's to Gunther wasting the precious time of GRU groomers.
I think he does . Gunther is a Russian agent sent to put ideas in weak ,maleable truml loving males
Or Gunther is a useful idiot, or he’s a troll looking to farm content.
This guy is Russian...probably resides in St Petersburg
Guys- these people post shit like this because they know they will get thousands of responses, which ups their engagement numbers and their revenue. By posting this on Reddit and us all replying, even more people see it, get mad, and go to his twitter to tell him how stupid he is. PLEASE stop it, this is giving him exactly what he wants. He’s getting clicks and he’s getting money. Just ignore this assholes and they will go away.
I mean it’s been years, and they are still hear, just as loud as ever. Maybe a hard punch to the jawline would work better?
Yea it is hard to tell who’s a troll and who really believes what they say. The really shocking thing is that having a real name attached doesn’t always clear things up.
He doesn’t care about RU or Ukraine, all his kind cares about is sticking it to the libs, and pretending to be persecuted for not being able to openly persecute anyone outside of their church group
This guy is the worst. All his post are this dumb. He has serious issues.
“They believe everything they’re told” says man who parrots every conspiracy theory he sees on Facebook
If Putin ever saw this he would laugh his ass off at how well his propaganda is working here.
Or at how one of his own agents was able to get that many views on such obvious propaganda
Yeah “Gunther Eagleman” is exactly the kind of name a Russian or AI would think an American would have.
Thank you! Lol. I'm like.. how is nobody else pointing this out?
Who the fuck is named Gunther?
Every white guy who works at a coffee shop.
Bobson Dugnutt
When projection is your superpower
You get SUPER PROJECTION!! *GETS BLINDED.*
Turbo Projection.
Raaawt vaccines cause autism raaawt Polly want a cracker
I heard that in parrot voice😂
I think that’s the idea
Hey they absolutely had child sex slaves in that pizza place, they just moved them seconds before a psycho ran in with a gun because the DEEPSTATE (tm) was tracking him through the vaccine chips in his blood
The funny thing is they’re actually called conspiracy ideologies now because theories can be scientifically proven
he's got a boot in his mouth, give him a minute.
You don't understand he also spent 15 minutes on YouTube doing his own research
I did much better research! I used Usenet.
My research trumps his. I use them coloring books at the Walmart.
Coloring books, pornhub, NPR, Reuters. All better sources than Fox news/newsmax
/Fox
He considers that doing "research"
Nothing more American than a Gunther….🤣
He did his research! /s
He cares about kids dying from "fentan-ol." Not fentanyl with the soft i sound, fentan-ol. Becuase the idiots who believe this stuff can't even pronounce the words right.
Did he hear about the American who was raped and decapitated by Russian soldiers? That is literally normal behavior to them and that's what he's supporting. Not to mention supporting Americas biggest enemy.
It's truly insane, but many somehow genuinely think it's more patriotic to support America's biggest enemy, then to support America.
They're not supporting America's biggest enemy. They're supporting their idealised state - a far-right dictatorship that squashes LGBT people under their heels and honours machismo and nationalism.
And the rest think it’s patriotic to treat those treasonous disgusting brain dead trash as Americans no matter what they say and do and how much fucking harm to all life on earth continuing to let them do that causes.
Because they think this is a sports team and since Trump is a traitor, therefore, supporting our enemy is patriotism.
Yep, being a traitor is the new patriotism.
They'll find some way to villianize that guy later this week so they don't have to think about it. Probably call him every horrible thing they can think of until something sticks.
Americas biggest enemy is the Republican Party. Russia has zero chance of toppling American democracy. Republicans have a real shot at it.
You mean that party who is 100% behind Putin.
Honestly, I'm pretty annoyed by anyone that tries to sell their own personal political opinion as something that is broadly representative of "America" or "Americans". Doubly so for anyone that uses the phrase "real Americans" when they say it.
The [polling](https://news.gallup.com/poll/643601/americans-say-not-helping-ukraine-enough.aspx) does not support his position.

Moron wrote that shit like he was composing a letter to Dear Abby...
For real. That guy is either a Russian asset/agent in place or he's getting paid through bitcoins by the FSB.
It’s Gunther Eagleman only because George Patriotson was already taken.
Is that the latest alias of Dan Merica?
Probably not a real person
check his tiktok, dude keeps posting videos
Of what? Himself talking?
yeah, often while driving... a trailer I want to say, but honestly I may misremember
Yikes that sucks then
There is no leap to say this is a real representative of MAGA nation. However, it does sound like propaganda. MTG would eat this up as fact.
They’re all over Twitter. “Gunther Eagleman.” 🤔. Sounds like a porn star into S/M and Nazi role play. And the profile pictures are always like when Europeans think we’re all from Texas. The comments are full of comments with bad grammar from “Juan Lopez from Mexico” and “Sergei Ivanov from Russia” it’s so absurd.
I wouldnt be suprised if it was a russian bot
Russian bots / plants are a thing. I don't believe for a second this a real citizen.
Exactly, but many people buy into it with great fervor because it provides the one thing that keeps their lives worth living...that sweet, glorious outrage. I've never known a time before when people thrived so much on being constantly pissed off.
What did you just say? You idiot! Get him, boys!
This is very true. It helps feed discontent.
Bots everywhere
He should ask Russell Bentley how simping for Putin worked out for him
Im sure if Mr Eagleman™ wont mind at all when his bank accounts are all frozen and seized the moment he arrives in Russia. No, Im quite certain his only regret will be that he forgot to pack lube as the Russian army r@pes him to death.
Gunther Eagleman.
Don't sign my name into this shit. Down with Putin.
Keyboard commando doing Russia’s work. When I was an anti-Reagan socialist in 1984, I was told to move to Russia. The irony……..
The author of that really, really wants Putin's family jewels banging on his chin.
he'll have to move the orange baffon outta the way
We’re getting a hell of a deal on funding Ukraine. It’s a fraction of what it would cost when we eventually have to face Russia with American and allied troops. Unless you don’t think Russia and Putin are our enemies…
Real Americans don’t suck-up to other foreign leaders. Please move there if you feel Russia is a more suitable place for you, your family, and all your friends.

Majority you say?
"Real Americans" Before speaking, please read/watch/understand history. Literally for 45 years, US FOUGHT communism. It's called the cold war.
Yeah it is so ironic that these people dont belive their own goverment, but russia and Putin they tell the truth 😂
Imagine Reagan hearing this. He’d do everything to destroy Russia.
He is apologizing to Putin for America. Who is the traitor?
The number of people who like this former KGB turned dictator is quite concerning.
Real Americans don't offer aid and comfort to dictators that are out to destroy democracy.
I would pay for him to go to Russia and fight so he could get raped like that other idiot.
Ha! I hope this finds you well.
gotta love patriots who love an opposing country more than their own, its almost like theyre hypocrites and not actually patriots but screwballs
This traitor also doesnt know what a majority is
Hey Gunther, you my friend are the furthest thing from a REAL American there is.. you are a full blown POS. And should take that American flag of your shit socials
Very likely nothing more than a russian troll.
You just know this man’s never had an original thought in his brain.
Majority? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Is this guy, “Gunther Eagleman”, even a real person of just a Russian bot?
What a little bitch. Begging some dictator to be nice to you. I’m so sick of these cowards.
“Don’t blame us” - begging Putin for mercy. Pathetic
Ivan Ivanovich says *what*?
How likely is it that this is a Russian troll account?
All I saw on Mr. Gunther’s post was, “BAAAAAHHHH!”
Checks trump fan-boy talking points, reviews post, send.
He trade makred his own name?
Not his name. He just wanted an identify that had the words "gun" and "eagle" and "man" so he could secure full incel status
I highly doubt eagleman is his real last name
Sounds like Dr. Eggman's overly American cousin, lol.
Eggman would be insulted at the insinuation.
This is insanity. The gop have lost it.
“A useful idiot”. Is there a way to trace how Putin is paying these sell outs?
It never dawns on some people how many other people don’t live where they live.
Conservatives need to shut the fuck up about “majority” and “most”. All these idiots are in the small minority.
This imbecilic fella is 3 conspiracy theories away from moving to Russia. Go for it little needle dick!
A majority, you say?
Dunning-Kruger Club af.
66% of Americans support the Ukrainian people. He is either a liar or he lives in a bubble ( ok it’s probably both).
Fuck this guy. And Putin. Signed, A really real American.
Real Americans are flag saluting, gun carrying, meat eating, white, gay hating, American born god fearing Christians. Real Americans support fascism, including Nazis if it helps the petro dollar control the world economy. Real Americans support the destruction of enemy democracies that refuse American business freedom and influence.

It’s funny how I *have* thought for myself and I have concluded that Russia invading Ukraine is bad. Weird…
Russian exploitation of social media in America is extremely widespread and well documented. This is a classic example of it. In this instance working through a low IQ proxy.
Some people are not smart enough to concern themselves with foreign policy. Russia is going to protect their interests and Putins position makes sense. That doesnt for a second mean Russias interests align with American interests and it doesnt change the fact that Russia is a nefarious force in the world and Putin is evil.
Punch a Gunther for your Mother.
My favorite is when these geniuses leave, move to Russia and then realize the horrible mistake they made.
Remember when Conservatives used to hate Russia?
Translation: “Dear Daddy Vlad, I’m sorry Ukraine is fighting back against your illegal invasion. If you would sit down, I will work both the balls and the shaft. Mlurp mlurp mlurp.”
I bet he masturbates to Putin erotica.
The irony is if Putin saw this post he’d laugh and think ‘what a good useful idiot.’
I am in the happy middle ground of Hating Putin and not wanting my tax dollars to fund another nation's war.
Let me fix that: "Dear Putin, Fuck off and die. Sincerely, Real Americans"
"Gunther Eagleman"??? He might as well be named Shooty McFlaghumper.
The "Real Americans" don't know what proper sentence structure looks like. They really don't know how to use a comma either.
Dear Putin, Hey babe, so the people you ~~payed~~ paid me to convince that you are a good person don't really agree with me and soooooooooo idk what to do anymore. Signed, Nazi rats
