I'm not the idiot who believes in the big lie that the election was "stolen" or that the emails from Dr Fauci somehow implicates him in any wrongdoing. Case in point would be you, Greg. LOL...

This is no longer just detachment from reality; it's bonkers.

Another welcome back to Jim, too. 
Just to bring him up to date on Republican doings these days, the infrastructure talks are kaput because the Republicans use their time on this major issue to push a phoney talking point about defunding the police that no one else is talking about. It's the same thing as a filibuster and anything they can do to stop Biden's domestic agenda is the Republican priority instead of bettering the country. Meanwhile, the presidents of China and Russia are pointing to this as well as the events of January 6th and the continuing efforts of the GOP to undermine the election as proof that democracy doesn't work and an autocracy is better. The Republicans are doing their damndest to prove them correct...

Putin

Decidedly more so than with Trump. Do any cons remember Helsinki or did MAGA media not cover it?...

Er, ah here's what the participants actually said:

The tone of the entire meeting was good, positive," Biden said, adding: "The bottom line is, I told President Putin that we need to have some basic rules of the road that we can all abide by."
Putin gave a somewhat similar description.
"He's a balanced and professional man, and it's clear that he's very experienced," Putin said. "It seems to me that we did speak the same language."
"There were modest achievements, like a decision to return each countries' ambassador back to their posts and the establishment of task forces on cyberattacks, perhaps the biggest new point of contention between Washington and Moscow.
But in both Biden and Putin's telling, the summit wasn't meant for great breakthroughs. Instead, each said it was about taking stock, being honest and moving forward."

In other words, worlds ahead of the Trump Helsinki fiasco...
