I'm preparing to LEAVE THE COUNTRY - David Pakman [View all] Swede May 2025 OP

Well, bye. marble falls May 2025 #1

Odd response. GoneOffShore May 2025 #22

What's so odd??? marble falls May 2025 #29

Because Pakman did not say he was leaving now, he said he was looking into keeping all his options open, to Celerity May 2025 #33

Those bad circumstances will require all of us here to resist and overcome. marble falls May 2025 #35

Easy to say if you are not in direct cross hairs. I recall some extraordinarily problematic shaming here done by Celerity May 2025 #38

Rec'd and seconded. nt scipan May 2025 #47

Plus, he's one of the very best voices, can leave all of the MAGAts in the dust. UTUSN May 2025 #49

Pakman makes a reasoned case for an exit strategy, and all you say is "Well, bye"? GoneOffShore May 2025 #36

He's made his decision for himself. I don't blame or criticize him. I am disappointed. The fight is here and it ... marble falls May 2025 #37

He didn't say he was leaving, as it stands. You can not frame it as such, as he absolutely made that clear in the video. Celerity May 2025 #40

His being a naturalized US citizen puts him in danger. Basso8vb May 2025 #54

Nasty replies. Behind the Aegis May 2025 #6

I too am a bit taken aback by the replies. Swede May 2025 #10

Not to mention he's the best, intelligent, debates the MAGAts & leaves them in the dust. These haven't heard him. UTUSN May 2025 #51

Me as well. Honestly, some of these replies sound like the shit I'm used to hearing from conservatives. I don't know how Karasu May 2025 #17

I've never had bad vibes regarding David Pakman. chouchou May 2025 #9

Me, either. Only he and his family know the situation and I don't ever want to be in his shoes Deuxcents May 2025 #11
