A joyous day. Biden demonstrates his love and kindness in this event. Imagine trump doing thisβ¦he would make it all about himself rather than the families. I love the βHappy Birthdayβ!
Russia mustβve got some good stuff for this deal since it includes Whelan. My personal theory is that he is a spy. Not for the US, I believe that. I think heβs a spy for us. Heβs part Canuck.
But then again I also believe we were the only country still allowing the Chinese Huawei to offer us 5G because I believe the US was using Canada as a back channel way to let the NSA to spy on the Chinese through us leaving the links open. Your CIA NSA alphabet soup isnβt supposed to operate on US soil but last I checked Canuckistan isnβt the US no matter what Poilievre says.
Putin will have leverage as long as Americans travel to Russia, unfortunately. I'm NOT blaming those Russia basically kidnapped, but personally, I would never visit Russia while Putin is in power. Western journalists reporting from Russia deserve ALL the respect and moneys!
By at least a hundred thousand to one, MAGA ratbags and maybe Trump himself, are going to claim that President Biden is a traitor for releasing Russian assassins. In a different context they would probably claim that Russia doesn't even HAVE assassins, because Putin denies it, and they "don't see why [his denial] wouldn't be true." They would also cheer the deal as a glorious triumph that nobody else could possibly bring off - if Trump had been the one achieving it.
And, of course, Trump is FULLY understanding and taking this prisoner swap with all the grace and dignity that he does every other circumstance in which he's NOT involved (/s):
It's good Whelan has been released, but the man is probably some sort of wannabe superspy/action movie hero. Reading his Wikipedia entry the guy has lied about his past and education, and was given a bad conduct discharge from the Marines on a number of charges including attempted larceny and writing bad cheques. The fact he has Canadian(he was born in Ottawa), American, UK, and Irish citizenship doesn't help.
Just spitballin' here but it's also possible Putin doesn't see Trump winning this year and wanted to show Trump just how insignificant he is on the world stage and also too Putin is pissed that Trump put those yoooge lifts in his shoes so he could tower over Putin instead of merely being taller. Kamala in her Chuck Taylors is only 5'2" to Vlad's 5'7". That may be the one thing that Putin wants more than military secrets from a US president.
Donald has been replaying his "Russia, if you're listening ..." collusion with Gershkovich in this cycle so he's gotta be eye-watering-smarting that Vladdy kicked him in the nuts, but good. Hey, Vlad, give him an extra hard kick for me too! And then fuck off.
Saw Alsu's husband and older daughter on the NewsHour not long back. The girl was sad that her mom missed her last birthday & was worried that her mom wouldn't be able to be there for her & her sister's this year, either. I bet the younger one just about died of mortification when Biden started the round of Happy Birthday. But he did arrange for her to get one of the best birthday presents a kid can get
OMG...imagine my relief by learning that Biden has again pulled a rabbit out of a hat. He is incredible at foreign policy...I just have to say. So glad grotesque diaper baby tRump didn't get that win!
i was sadly coming to the belief that he needed to retire, but man damn. today is a day that reminds me how much we're going to miss his fucking expertise.
Yep. Itβs like I said beforeβ¦.he has a little bit of a hard time with the public speaking, but heβs quick with the quips. As I tried to explain to the multiple idiots that kept insisting he has dementia. No. There is no way he has dementia. They just sucked up the propaganda & didnβt bother to investigate it which is weak. Or perhaps some of the accounts on here are troll accounts which is possible.
There will be more and more, as we get closer to the election, there is one that everyone pretty much knows, because he has been trolling at Wonkette for so long. He shows up everytime HRC is in the headline. Even Evan asked him why he was here!
I wonder which despicable misogynist it is... There are so many to choose from. This extreme Hillary hatred is ridiculous. Yes the clownish ReTHUGs caused it, but also the MSM & Msnbc. Sometimes it's what you don't say that matters more than what you do say.
The Obama ass kissing at Msnbc is making me nauseous, if they think I'm just going to "not remember" what went down...they better "think" again. I know another piece to Biden's pushout had to do with them not wanting Harris to get to POTUS via Biden falling ill, because then the GOP fascists would say she didn't earn her place. I strongly think that was a factor (maybe by Michelle?). I'm not saying it's a wrong assessment. It is correct. What I resent, is the lies used, the cruelty & viciousness that was employed via Obama who got those donors to pressure those Dems. MSM wants to claim it's the other way around, but we know better. Mika knew Obama was behind it. She ought to because her dad invented Barack Obama practically.

There need to be more do-or-die moments for Putin. Eventually one of them will turn out well.

Gonna scrap the ACA and replace it with something much better. Factcheck: NOPE
Gonna tear up the Iran Nuke deal and replace it with something much better. Factcheck: Nu-uh
Gonna shitcan the North Korea nuke talks and make a deal that's much better. Factcheck: Are you kidding me?
Can't even handle one tough question from a black woman reporter.

i never trust canadians.
You raise good points but just get him home and then sort the rest out.

I hate to say it, but there is a reasonable chance Russians will make porn of Putin and Harris. Putin loves being seen as manly and sexy.

Trump's Mario Kart needs to go to the shop after all that dick-punching.
