Interesting that the swap happened after Trump was trying to use the captives in the campaign. Seems like a message from Putin that the useful part of Trump's idiocy is diminished.
Watching the press corps folks interrogate NSA spokesperson John Kirby is quite interesting. Their critiques of the prisoner exchange process illustrates their deep understanding of how such things are arranged. Is there any area or subject that they are not experts?
It does, but the RW version does NOT. Honestly, they aren't remotely Christlike, but still call themselves "Christian," and the media plays right along with them.
After seeing actual journalism with the proven rapist, fraud and convicted felon Trump yesterday, do you think there is any chance that a reporter will hold him accountable for not getting his great friend Vlad to release any prisoners while Trump was is supplicant? Similarly, hold him to account for blaming Our Joe for ending the Afghanistan war under the terms of Trump's surrender when Trump couldn't get it done himself? Or how the United States is more powerful and the world is better with the United States leading and not just threatening to bomb Mexico and toadling up to dictators because Trump things they are the cool kids?
Just wondering.
But congrats to Joe Biden again proven what a strong president can do for freedom and democracy, if that is what they care about.
I don't know. It seems like every time a journalist deigns to do actual journalism, push back, stand firm, they get tons of press and everyone is wowed. Then ... nothing. No one else follows suit.
But according to WaPo, DonOld is still ahead in most of the swing states! It should be noted, however, that they are using older polls, and the commenters are calling them out for being misleading.
stroganoff feast? Followed by a fresh round of stolen documents charges. And a paternity suit by some previously unknown former staffer with a young chinless child.
Ta, Evan.

News investigating and reporting?
But they watched "Bridge of Spies" in the Holiday Inn Express last night!
This guy is all confused.
Billionaire GOP Donor Peter Thiel Blames Christianity for ‘Wokeness’: ‘It Always Takes the Side of the Victim’

Isn't that the whole point?
Who will speak up for the guy who kicks the underdog?
Oh right. Him.
Maybe I should see if he wants to invest in my startup, The Church of Christ the Warrior.
He isn't wrong. Kinda a feature of the religion.
Blessed are the rich in Bitcoin
Theirs is the valley of Silicon
Giant asshole complains that people keep calling him an asshole.
WTF? Isn’t he throwing the rotting heart and rancid soul of the GOP under the bus?
First of all, right wing Christianity always takes the side of the oppressors.
Secondly, the Golden rule is ALWAYS take the side of the victim. It’s why there are called victims. They didn’t do anything wrong.
I always thought Christianity supported the downtrodden.
It does, but the RW version does NOT. Honestly, they aren't remotely Christlike, but still call themselves "Christian," and the media plays right along with them.
The downtrodden are those who might have people tut-tut at them for using a racial, ethnic or sexist slur.
1. Yes, if you've read anything about this Christ character, that is the case.
2. Have you seen American Christians? They absolutely do not take the side of the victim.
Hey, not all American Christians! Don't you mean American RW Christians, aka evangelicals?
Indeedy
Jesus is too woke.
Biden kicks ass and I'll miss him

Too bad Trump is the consensus best president for The Blacks since Lincoln. /s
Suck it, LBJ!
And just look at Dark Brandon spreading the credit around, like a common decent person!

Trump demands Press give him equal time thanking him for bringing the WSJ reporter home.
Lol!

This also explains the low unemployed rate right now.
Well….that’s a hell of a take!
Having the lowest approval rating in history maybe he should try to keep his mouth shut.
Oh yeah, J.D.? How much can your guy bench?
Oh don't say "bench" you'll give the Shillbilly the tinglies in the downtheres.
No, for him a bench would be like fucking a skeleton.
What a fucking ass kissing idiot.
So, if Donny if Donny is losing even according to Rasmussen, how dumpster fire are the internals?
And the dumpster is full of little dumpsters on fire

The dumpster is floating down a river that is also on fire.
The supreme court has a heavy lift coming.
All Dark Brandon has to do is "officially" declare Harris president, so ...
I believe that it's going to be more of a matter of shoveling up the shitty mess.
With a pitchfork.
The asphalt beneath it is bubbling up as well.
The battery in the tesla someone tossed in at the start is now experiencing a thermal runaway event. This may take a while.
Oh, she is rocking that coral! Gorgeous!
I wonder if the universe has maybe ONE MORE THING teed up for tomorrow to make this week a trifecta for Trump.
Like, a massive stro…ya know imma end my thought right there.
stroganoff feast? Followed by a fresh round of stolen documents charges. And a paternity suit by some previously unknown former staffer with a young chinless child.
Stromboli, right?

Q: Trump has repeatedly said he could have gotten the hostages out without giving anything in exchange. What do you say to that?
President Biden: Why didn't he do it when he was president?

I hope he lifted up his sunglasses after saying that, and stared at the “journalist” until they cried.
The evil grin before the mic drop - 😘

Ot, but fuck the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women. Losing a boxing match isn't gender based violence you trans hating peace of shit.
OT: I somehow forgot that Elly May was such a critter lover!

Elly May was a childless cat lady. OK, she had dogs, chimps and other critters, but she was happy, healthy and an all-around nice person.
There were always the raccoons swimming in the cement pond. Hillbilly raccoons, hell all raccoons, adapt to city life right quick.
She always had a raccoon riding on her shoulders!
I loved that program when I was short. I wanted to be pretty and have critters like Elly May but be a tough gal like Granny.
All things considered I haven't done too badly.
