Rand Paul and Blinken spar over Putin invading countries that ‘were part of Russia’

Biden's actions have made Russia pay a heavy price without escalating the conflict to where boots on the ground are required. Honestly, it's hard to imagine any administration could have handled it better than it has gone so far.

Russia is not a rational actor. The problem with Russia today is that a strong man effectively runs it. If Politburo had been back, and there had been more internal discussion and differences of opinion, the war might never have happened.
Trump would have "negotiated" a deal since he's the great "deal-maker" of the century in which Ukraine would have been carved into pieces with Russia feasting on almost all of it. Then, Davis, Mel and the rest of the cons would be calling for Trump to be awarded the Nobel peace prize!

Oh really?, he pressured Ukraine to find dirt on the Biden's and withheld their aid as leverage and then got impeached for doing it. He wanted out of NATO which would be a wet dream come true for Putin. Add to that, Trump continually advances the big lie of imaginary election fraud, which he also blamed for Putin's invasion of Ukraine on the Laura Ingraham show, and then you have the stupidity to think he gives a rat's ass about how history will judge him and his administration...

Again, Mel, he was impeached for it. It doesn't matter what his lawyer may have claimed...

But wait how about the BIG LIE. Isn't that proof Trump wanted them to surrender to Russia? No? It proves almost everything else, doesn't it?  But wait! LAURA INGRAHAM! Doesn't that prove Trump wanted them to surrender to Russia? No?
But, but, is not all this proof that Trump does not at all care what people, historians, and history think? In fact, is not it proof he doesn't even give a rat's ass what history will think of him? Uh no. Are you sure? Yes.
They only got the aid and that's dwarfed by the aid provided by Biden) because Trump's plan was exposed and, again, he was impeached for it. 
YOU brought up the point that history would judge Trump and his administration on his response to the Russian invasion in Ukraine. A president, ex or otherwise, who cares about what history thinks doesn't go on Laura Ingraham or any other program and claim Russia invaded Ukraine "because of the rigged 2020 election"!

Does the second amendment guarantee the right to bear fruit?

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I saw that on the Rachel Maddow show. I liked the part where Trump insists a tomato is a fruit and when asked about it, his lawyer says, "It has seeds!"

He read it aloud to here, which said "Many people are talking about Martial Law.  I don't know about that", to which Jim Acosta responded "your spelling of Martial is wrong". 

She said "I never urged him to enact Martial Law did I", to which he didn't have an answer. 

She then said, you're a professional Liar". 

Then he didn't know what to do so he said again "you're spelling is wrong". 

She then apparently walked away.  

That is just how much of a hack that Jim Acosta is.  The best he could come up with when she proved him to be a liar about what she said, was to then jump to criticism of her spelling of the word "Martial".

Now that has to be what any leftist drone would have to call out as "dynamite journalism".

He goes up to a citizen, lies about what they said, is called out for his lies, and then diverts the subject to criticism of her spelling.

That pathetic loser was CNN's main guy for about a decade.  Shows you the quality of the average CNN reporter. 

Not to mention that I believe his book sold about 2000 copies total. 

P.S.  Now just HOW pathetic IS Jim Acosta? 

Anyone can be the judge of this pathetic weasel: 

https://dailycaller.com/2019/06/14/jim-acosta-book-signing/

The manager said he had to sign a book to himself because he didn't have an audience.  This guy is just beyond pathetic. 

After the 1st week of sales, when Jim Acosta's book came out, it was at 363 on the Amazon list of book sales. 

Books that have been out for more than 4 decades outsold his ridiculous book.  
Here's the text, the one Marjorie couldn't remember in court, "In our private chat with only Members, several are saying the only way to save our Republic is for Trump to call for Marshall law [sic],"
Saying that she doesn't remember that now or that she doesn't know about it is just as disingenuous as all of the other blatant crap she couldn't remember in court and/or , "I don't recall"...

Lol! She calls the chief of staff to Trump and tells him about her "private" group discussing Trump should consider declaring martial law to stay in power and she doesn't support it? Or, in court, even remember it? Is that something a congresswoman from Georgia or any state does? In other words, she wasn't calling Meadows to talk about a bill she was advancing to improve the lives of the people in the district she represents, she was calling him to discuss one way her private group thought Trump should implement in order to stay in power. But in the absurd logic of those who can't or won't understand that, it's, instead, the fault of a reporter who has the audacity to even question Marjorie Taylor Greene about it...

Trump courted and sent out so many dog-whistles to these groups when he was President that we all became numb to it, but that doesn't mean it did happen.
I'm surprised the cons haven't used their argument from prior threads that the seditious conspiracy and the other acts committed during the Jan 6th insurrection were simply the actions of a few nutcases. Could it be they're actually following the proceedings of the January 6th committee? 
Naw...
