This is great. There isn’t any reason for Republican politicians to treat the dum dums in the Press as having any integrity. Trump, DeSantis, Rubio and Vance are all very good at this.


Great!! The SOS attacks the news as fake, even though he knows it is true. It has nothing to do with press integrity, which is rich coming from an administration with zero integrity. His Ambassador in Greece has extorted $300,000 and wanted another $100,000. We know it is true as the person extorted, a Trump supporter, went on TV and admitted the whole payoff scheme. A decent SOS would pull the Ambassador and request Trump nominate another. But Rubio has sold his soul for his position and won't dare do anything without Trump ordering him to do so. Rather than being outraged at the lack of integrity of an Ambassador and the Trump Admin. as a whole, you MAGA cultists complain about the integrity of the press.

Feel free to link your outrage when then Vice President Biden demanded the firing of the Ukraine prosecutor in order for Ukraine to secure a billion dollars in aid.

What did the VP say? He said they damn well fired him in the 6 hours!

The prosecutor was corrupt and all of Europe demanded he be fired Nimnuts. You MAGA are really stupid, hence the cult following.

So, zero issue with Biden bragging about blackmailing them. Gotcha. You sure do swallow every Democrat lie!! On the other hand, Jack Smith tracking Trumps wife and minor child, zero problems for Stone Head there. Zero problem with corrupt NY prosecutors changing laws to get Trump and running on a platform to find a crime for a private citizen.

A normal person would have trouble sleeping with your brain. Fortunately you are usually drunk and or high, so zero sleep problems in Naples, Florida

I sleep well because unlike you I have a grip on reality and do not make up ******** like those in your post. There was no blackmail. Biden told Ukraine to fire the absolutely corrupt prosecutor, or Biden was leaving in 4 hours and Ukraine was not going to receive the US payment. Prosecutor was fired and all rejoiced, except RW nutcases.

If Democrats would just let the refiners build new refineries, the US wouldn’t have to go to Russia for diesel. I’ve also been sick of corrupt Zelensky and Ukraine for some time. The bottom line is the guy loves his status and does not want to make a deal in a war he won’t win.

Zelensky is getting checked. He’s a goof. If Trump was President, his country would not have been attacked by Putin, but yes…he is trying to help the Dems.

Man it's really too bad Zelensky won't surrender territory Russian hasn't conquered. What a douche for not just resisting an unprovoked attack on his country but also not surrendering it WHILE BASICALLY EMBARRASSING RUSSIA'S INCOMPETENT MILITARY.

I mean ... screw him.

There is something deeply wrong with the modern American right (and people like TJ). This proves it almost more than anything. You literally have a nation that a foe of the US tried to subjugate (in many ways for it wanting to become more like the US), and they are blaming said nation for not surrendering after mounting a largely successful defense.

I mean, when does the war become unwinnable for Russia? 75 miles off its own border 5 years and 1.5M casualties into the conflict. Beyond laughably pathetic. But hey, at least Russia is improving at killing civilians!

I have to admit I'm rooting for the Ukrainian people. Putin wants 3 large regions of Ukraine and no Nato or any defensive capabilities in the rest. Sounds like he wants another puppet state like Georgia. Ukrainians remember how the Russians starved, imprisoned, murdered millions of Ukrainians in the 1930's. Many educated people were sent to Siberia, executed - very Nazi like. Putin is Stalin 2.0.

There is no end to the level of mental gymnastics they are willing to go to. No matter how dumb dear leader gets, they will run to twitter and find some Q-like slop account with a justification.

I’m a bit concerned about what’s going to happen when he’s gone and all these MAGA people are slapped with reality. They’ve spent over a decade devoting their entire identity to a corrupt fraudster.

Since the young man landed his Piper Cub on Red Square the Russian bear has been known as a cub.

When major regions of the Country still uses out houses...
