A great deal for Vladimir Putin
Yesterday, as 9/11 terrorist were getting plea deals, there was another of those controversial exchanges that encourage more hostage taking. Russia was more than willing to exchange 16 prisoners, including Paul Whelan, a U.S. Marine held since 2018, and several pro-democracy activists to get back eight prisoners which included a convicted assassin and several spies.
The prisoners Russia held would have rotted in jail if Putin didn't get back his assassin and a handful of spies. The exchange took place for only one reason: Putin got a great deal. Aside from getting back a few convicted hackers and several Russian spies, Putin got back a key figure in his vital security force: Vadim Krasikov, who is an assassin and part of the vital group which protects Putin. Krasikov was convicted by a German court for the 2019 killing of Zelimkhan “Tornike” Khangoshvili in broad daylight in a Berlin park. He was sentenced to life in a German prison. Seven countries were involved in the deal.
What did the US get?
Biden got to use the return of what were clearly hostages in the never-ending campaign against Trump. It evoked memories of when Barack Obama was widely criticized for giving up five high-value Taliban prisoners for deserter Bowe Bergdahl and for negotiating with terrorists for his release. One would have thought that Kamala Harris would have been credit for it as well, but Jake Sullivan (maybe unintentionally) said: “If you had not have Joe Biden sitting in the oval office, I don’t think this would’ve happened.”
To add insult to injury, Joe Biden was later asked about former President Donald Trump’s comments that he could have secured the American prisoners’ release without giving up anything, Biden replied, “Then why didn’t he do it when he was president?” and then walked away, seemingly unaware that two of the three Americans released were arrested during his term in office, not Trump’s.
A smug Dana Bash (CNN) called it a “mic drop moment” without clarifying the facts or the timeline of the arrests, which demonstrates how dishonorable the American media has become.
In other news:
The New York Times is now saying that Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, was killed by a bomb that operatives had planted months earlier. If true, it illustrates the effectiveness of Mossad and their cooperation with anti-regime groups in Iran.
The United States recognized Venezuela’s opposition presidential candidate, Edmundo González, as the winner of the country's disputed election.
The Senate rejected a bill that would have restored tax breaks for businesses and expanded the child tax credit.
In the 12 days since Kamala Harris has become the presumptive nominee, she has yet to hold a press conference.

Good morning
Home again, but at a high cost.
gee, I wonder what putin would give us for trump after he's imprisoned? every negative or racist utterance by trump is another nail in his political coffin and sign of his growing desperation. desperation so thick that the structure supporting it is in danger of collapse.
I'm sure Putin is very content with Joe Biden.
[deleted][✘]
You think Putin gives a shit about Trump?
When it comes to racist comments and being divisive look to your own damn party first.
As for desperation which party tried to keep Trump off of state ballots? Which party is using lawfare to try and imprison Trump? Which party is trying to sentence Trump with a state using a federal law to stretch misdemeanor book keeping violations (whose statute of limitations ran out out long ago) into a felony? Show us all anywhere in the Constitution that allows states to prosecute federal law?
Leftist are drowning in desperation. Trying to federalize election laws; putting term limits/packing the Supreme Court; and granting amnesty to the millions of illegal immigrants the Biden administration has let in will be at the top of their agenda. "Americans last" is their only motto.
Nope. Trump is simply a tool to Putin, to be used when it is convenient and to be kept ready for the tool's next use.
It's funny how some think, actually believe, trump gives a shit about anyone but trump
Apparently he gives a little shit about Ivanka, at least he has said that he likes her boobs.
of course, he paid for them...
Neither....It was a jury of his peers, evenly picked by both prosecution and defense.
Did he pay for all her alterations?
lol
Trump literally praised Putin for making the deal...
What was the cost of Sandra Loli and Mikael Gidada in 2020? 200+ Houthi militants?
Bad deals are bad deals. It doesn't matter who makes them.
... not to mention trump reconstituting the taliban leadership and giving away afghanistan with a hostage trade.
[deleted][✘]
But that doesn't help Biden.
It would be like me saying that it was only 2 years ago that Sunny Hostin questioned Nikki Haley's racial identity, calling her a chameleon and accusing her of not "leaning" into her Indian heritage.
When you are compelled to attack Joe Biden and Kamala Harris no matter what you may end up standing on a two legged stool.
Remind us all again which administration botch the Afghanistan withdrawal and allowed them to retake all of Afghanistan?
The WSJ appears to be happy ... will not be overly surprised to see them back Harris.
The left needs to get off their own two legged stools first.
But Jake Tapper said nobody, but Biden could have done it.
Yippie for Tapper but he can be an arse.
The release was as far as I can tell a coordinated effort by hundreds of folks from dozens of countries with Biden (and it appears Harris also) channeling diplomatic efforts to arrive at last night's outcome. Note that 'Brandon' had the grace to climb into the plane and thank those still aboard who had helped bring the hostages home. Your bundle of mememe, and you know this, would have claimed all credit for himself
Hey, I'm sorry your choices have had a Fortnight Horribilis but not only are the Gods crazy, they love them some judicious poetry.
which administration botch the Afghanistan withdrawal and allowed them to retake all of Afghanistan?
ezpz ... trump. who leads afghanistan now? who let them out of prison?
... uh, ... who do you think harris is running against?
That comment is just dripping with hypocrisy
got anything from the 2024 campaign?
I only wish Harris did.
a 2 legged puddle of drool
No "buts."
If it’s and buts, were candy and nuts, we’d have a happy NTers …..
Some on the left, both on NT and in the real world are only happy when they are miserable and have something to whine about.
projection...
Nope.
But...........JD Vance said that it was because of trump that they were released... So.......which is it Vic? Better get to those right wing sites so you can get the talking points straight.
Kamala Harris finally goes off script:
"This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy."
Not bad but she is going to have to work to beat her passage of time word salad.
Why do conservatives hate Joe Biden's America ?
If it were still Donald Trump's America they would love it. But Joe Biden's America they hate. If Harris gets in they will double hate it.
Joe Biden is only the proxy.
The left's America is one of open borders, deficit spending, inflation, a fantasy energy policy and the politization & weaponization of government.
I was going to say "why do conservatives hate America?" but I decided to be non-confrontational. I may not make that mistake again.
[✘]
it seems to be by far, the majority, and led to that conclusion via media and pundits that lead them astray, as apparently not too many, are able to think on their own, and why their left behind as they are not allowed to pier at what they have been told to shield themselves from, and with an activist court having delayed what would have shed light, the conservative majority will now choose to allow the truth to be shed no light.
I don't understand.
Unlawful border crossings drop for 5th straight month, reaching lowest level since September 2020
Biden’s Border Actions: How Much of Trump’s Policies Have Actually Been Changed?
In the final months of 2024, he switched gears to save his election.
It won't work.
It takes wit and intelligence...
It was the most obvious ploy ever. Everyone with half a brain understood this would happen. Biden would take enough steps to show improvement leading up the election ) . Suckers would fall for it (or at least pretend to) and after the election the new controls would be taken off.
I can't believe anyone actually fell for it.
He had to, Trump blocked any laws that would help fix the issue. If the House did its job, he wouldn't have had to.
So we are supposed to love inflation; high gas prices; open borders with millions of illegal streaming in; the two tier justice system; the weaponization of the FBI/CIA/DOJ/IRS against Democrat political opponents; Democrats trying to federalize all elections; and pack/change the Supreme Court?
Leftists would be screaming for Trump's impeachment if he were in charge and doing the same damn things. Just flip the last 5 items so Democrats come out on the short end of the stick.
There is no compromising with leftists any more. They need to be removed from power or they will turn this country into a more woke, militarily weaker, dysfunctional version of China.
This is what I mean by blind partisanship. Unlike strategic partisanship in which one generally votes D or R because they prioritize party platform over other factors, blind partisanship condemns anything and anyone from the other party and praises anything from their party.
For some, if Trump were a D (and he could easily have run as a D), they would be condemning him left and right and be up in arms at the judicial system and cooperative judges delaying his trials so that the electorate is denied the legal truth.
For blind R partisans, nothing Harris does will ever be good. Her faults will be exaggerated to the absurd. Her qualifications will be ignored. Meanwhile, Trump —the worst major party nominee in my lifetime (and likely in our history)— is defended at every turn and his many negatives and wrongdoings are ignored.
When I speak of partisanship I am referring to blind partisanship.
all of my friends that assumed I was a trump supporter are very unhappy with me because of my recent statements to vote a straight democratic ticket as a protest against the maga scum that fucked up my republican party. I've actually converted a few that have turned against trump. sometimes it's pretty hard to keep a straight face...
Yeah I get that. Frankly I do not know how one even starts trying to convert someone who still is supporting Trump. After all, what must this guy do before people recognize that he is entirely unfit for the office?
Generally speaking anyone that was supporting Joes mental capacity to be president for 4 more years should not be the ones trying to convince anyone Trump is unfit. There might be a credibility issue there.
First of all, you are yet again misrepresenting my position. I have stated for years now that Biden is too old to be PotUS. I disagreed with him running in 2020 because the presidency needs a younger individual (45-65) give or take due to the nature of the job. I have criticized the Ds this election year for not urging Biden to yield the race to someone younger.
Biden is too old, Trump, in contrast, is both too old AND entirely unfit to be PotUS.
In a choice of an elderly PotUS past his time vs. an irresponsible scoundrel, traitor, etc. like Trump the choice should be obvious. Trump should never be given the power of the presidency.
From your comments, if forced to choose between an old Biden and Trump for PotUS, you would choose Trump.
You have no ground on which to question my or anyone else's credibility.
(their) Groundhog Day
Once again you are misrepresenting my comment. I specifically said in general
Once again you are attempting to tell someone what they would do.
Of course I do
You think that bullshit ploy is going to convince anyone that you were not directing that comment at me?
No, I was clearly stating what you would do based on your comments. If you were forced to choose between Biden or Trump, you would choose Trump. Go ahead, prove me wrong.
[✘]
they have to first consider you "one of them". I was a corporate bully in my last salaried job. only my 2 closest friends know that I'm a left leaning independent. I was brought up to know the difference between right and wrong and could never align myself with such unamerican and unpatriotic ignorance exhibited by maga trash.
You think I care? Everyone can make up their own mind if it was directed at you. It was not
Correct. You are trying to tell someone what they would do
Asking someone to prove something that is impossible to prove is pretty weak. Not to mention I have no need or desire to prove anything.
Additional to the Harris remarks you shared above should she win the presidency in November she can already count on Trumpists (GOP) if they control either branch of congress to obstruct her fiercely— and I am not referring to the cause being she is a democrat. Let's remember 2009:
I mean Donald is so stupidly divisive that he is deliberately trying to 'split' Kamala Harris, a multi-racial/ethnic woman, politically in half!
Of course you refuse to answer the question. That was entirely predictable.
We all have read your comments. I doubt anyone on this site would believe that you would select Biden if forced to choose between Biden and Trump.
If forced between Biden and Trump, you would obviously choose Trump.
You have no basis on which to question my credibility.
Even if it was originally their idea, if Obama was for it, they dropped their support for an idea they came up with. A pretty telling explanation of what is wrong with this nation.
Once again you accuse someone they did not answer your question. You asked "You think that bullshit ploy is going to convince anyone that you were not directing that comment at me?" My response included "It was not". Hard to believe that is confusing
Maybe, maybe not. Again, what people on this site believe I would or would not do doesn't mean anything to me. Is it important to you? Just the question of "If I was forced" is ridiculous.
Tripling down on telling me what I would do. Again, just the question of "If I was forced" is ridiculous.
If you say so.
The comment was not about you so I obviously did not question your credibility, not about this in particular case.
If forced between Biden and Trump, you would obviously choose Trump.
It seems you are not actually reading or understanding my comments. My wife of almost 40 years does not claim to know me as well as you seem to think you do. It is actually pretty amusing.
Basic logic.
Do you actually think you are fooling anyone on this site into thinking that if forced between Biden and Trump that you would choose Biden?
If you say so
Do you actually think I care if people believe a comment I never made about a ridiculous, hypothetical scenario being forced to choose between an asshole and a guy that is not even running?
Do you think people can't see the flailing?
I am positive they can see your flailing.
If forced between Biden and Trump, you would obviously choose Trump given your history of comments.
I have no problem answering the question, if forced between Biden and Trump I would choose Biden. You refuse to answer and just keep on dodging as if you are fooling anyone.
Republicans For Harris is growing exponentially...
Good! It is encouraging to see vestigial remains of the former GOP acting against the cult that has infected and consumed the GOP.
Funny how you have never actually asked a question. It seems all you keep doing is making the same statement again and again.
If forced between Biden and Trump, you would obviously choose Trump.
Yes, that is the statement. Still not a question but thanks for your opinion.
If forced between Biden or Trump, which would you choose?
Interesting that it took 2 hours and a half dozen statements to get to the question. Of course I am sure most can see why.
So I can choose one of two paths here. I can:
Continue down the path of a ridiculous, hypothetical scenario being forced to choose between an asshole and a guy that is not even running. Of course to continue down the ridiculous road I would have to know how I was being forced. If someone were holding my kids and told me I had better pick Biden (or Trump) or my family would suffer I would gladly choose if whomever they want.
Or I could state:
Some questions are not worth answering, some discussions are not worth continuing.
Actually I will choose the second one even though you will interpret that as you usually do.
Same dodge. As always.
It does not matter, it is obvious that if forced to choose Biden or Trump, you would choose Trump.
As predicted, just like always.
“I obviously did not question your credibility”
It’s 100% ok to question others credibility. Based on comments i’d say a little over half the members here have zero credibility.
He cannot own a gun or even go to Canada. Yea, he is unfit.
Exactly, Mitch McConnell was one that voted against several of his own bills when he found out that Obama supported it.
At least
He doesn't need a gun, he has secret service, if they do their job. If he wins I guess Canada politicians will have to come here.
Misdefelonies don’t count.
Gun ownership in America is as American as baseball and apple pie. But not for trump. He's a felon, deal with it. Hell, he can't even vote.
Lol. I will try my best to deal with it. S/
Why do you keep repeating things he has already said he doesn’t have to answer? [deleted] [✘] Also, for clarification, forcing someone to vote for someone only happens in the leftist world.
For up to date proof, go back and review US history the last few weeks.
TiG is not "forcing someone to vote for someone", he is asking a simple question. For some reason, many around here have a problem with this type of question. If anyone wishes to spout off their opinion, go ahead, but on a forum like this, there will be other people that will wish to know why one defends a candidate or various positions, and why they attack another candidate for their various positions. I find it ridiculous how so many here, after reading so many of their comments, stating they won't be voting for Trump. It is just crazy to watch people bend over backwards while doing a triple Lindy off the 80' platform to defend and rationalize any and everything Trump, and then say they are both bad candidates, so I'll not be voting for either.
It just doesn't jive. And I really would like to know how and why people , first, defend the POS, and second, why they continue to defend the POS after each and every day another reason to NEVER vote for this POS rears its ugly head. ( Today, it appears Trump possibly accepted $10,000,000.00 from the dick tater of Egypt, during his 2016 campaign and ole Lower the William Barr shut down the investigation) If Trump gets reelected, we all will suffer, so some of US really would like to understand WHY this clown deserves people diving upside down in contortionist positions, to defend him.
Nobody said Tig is forcing someone to vote for [ someone deleted ]
[ ✘ ] But for your clarification so you can get straight on what he did say...
answer a question...? Just curious why the right has such diffiCULTY in not joining,
in, and answering simple questions ?
[deleted][✘]
[deleted][✘]
i got it at Rants R US
I would be looking at getting my money back. It was useless.
Because it is not the right that is forcing the electorate to vote for a particular person.
Like I stated above……for your answer as to who IS forcing their electorate to vote for a particular person, look no further than the last several weeks known as the democrat shit show.
well then i'll yield to your expertise on uselessness, but don't worry about refunds, Cause I ain't giving them a dime back, thanx 4 ure concern though.
bugsy, Gumby could be on the Democratic ticket for president, and he would mold around and get support and my vote B 4 Trump and the spineless GOP, as they attempt to sweep , and have to date, swept , more away of this country than can be believed, as by overlooking Trumps attempted steal of our elections, they have proven, at least to me and in my opine, they are traitors to this country, who put their POS Party above opur damn Country. Hell, Pokey, Mr. BiiiiLLLLLLLLL, N E BODY but that LYING MUTHA FCKR Trump
Explain exactly how anyone is forced to vote for a particular person.
Check out Key & Peele's sketch 'Obama and the republicans', so spot on.
Then why keep pushing the question of who people would vote for if the were forced to choose between an asshole and someone that is not running?
I asked you who you would choose if forced to pick Trump or Kamala for PotUS. You ran from the question with a series of deflections. Now you want to reopen this?
You will not answer. Expected since you will never admit that you would obviously choose Trump based on your comment history.
So what value is it to bring this question front and center?
You do realize the posts don't disappear don't you? No less than 5 posts above said Trump and Biden. Interesting deflection attempt to not answer the question I posed. If someone believes people can not be forced to vote for anyone why keep asking who people would vote for if the were forced to choose between an asshole and someone that is not running?
Why keep asking a question if you insist you already know the answer?
And you continue to deflect.
It is obviously not me doing all the deflecting here
You do realize the posts don't disappear don't you? No less than 5 posts above said Trump and Biden. Interesting deflection attempt to not answer the question I posed.

how many votes did HARRIS receive in the 2024 Democratic primaries?
Whining about the lack of s second D primary takes you nowhere. Get over it.
Since you will not vote for the D nominee why do you care?
The electorate has a choice between Harris and Trump. That is the big choice this election year.
How petty. That's no way to run a railroad
I saw that yesterday on Fire TV News! Someone should seed that
Black and a woman! Ya! What a combo that they already despise
No one cares that she is black and a woman.
Getting her current job BECAUSE she is black and a woman is the concern.
What qualifications does Harris have to be VP other than her gender and skin color?
She may have experience in other parts of the government, but when Biden specifically states he is looking into picking a black (is she really?) woman and the short list consisted of 4 black women…..she was picked because of her race and gender. No other reason.
Don't just bullshit, answer the question:
What qualifications does Harris have to be VP other than her gender and skin color?
See - 'black (is she really)?
Ask Joe, he is the one that chose her.
This time the question was not even asked of you but you intercede with … of course … deflection.
That is usually how public forums work
And you cherrypicked too to change the meaning of my post.
Except that I quoted your full statement. The deflections have reached a new level of absurdity.
Why pen such an obvious lie?
This is what I wrote:
You cherry-picked to post only the red part.
What does such dishonesty accomplish for you?
I was looking at your other comment.
This make you feel better?
TiG @3.4.7 ☞ This time the question was not even asked of you but you intercede with … of course … deflection.
That is usually how public forums work. There is no deflection. Biden would know.
Why ask me? That was up to Joe.
I told you what his priorities were for a VP.
Hope that helps.
She was Indian American when she won in the Senate, so is she really black now? or just leftist pandering.
Deflection.
Your comments claim Harris’ only qualifications for VP were her gender and skin color. That is clear bigotry.
That might be what you read
It isn't what he said.
How do you think they arrived at the short list? What qualifications did one need to make the short list? Black and a woman? Did a computer pick them randomly from a list of all black women in the US? How then did they winnow the selections down? I mean, there are quite a few black women in the US over the age of 35. Oh, shit there is a qualifier that you did not even mention. So your logic: Kamala Harris only got picked because she was a women and black, is false. Period.
But by all means, keep up with the denigration. I love the way it plays on the voters.
What Trumpists won't discuss is what "qualifications" they use to vet Donald for his 'position.' That is, the 'perfect' candidate for them is one who: lies, cheats, is vindictive, thief-ish, unjust retributive, uncompassionate, and lest we forget: Angry. We can know this to be true because. . . the Trumpists have nominated him three times to head the (GOP) party ticket!
The qualification for them is "Because it's Donald"
Just keep repeating it.
When someone says they are considering a black woman, and the four people On the short list are black women, then that is very obvious that are the two MAIN things he is looking for.
hope that helps.
When 'someone' (Donald) heads a presidential administration that hires 'toughs' and confrontational types who 'hit back hard' it may indicate a level of unprofessionalism and a lack of experts sufficient for the jobs they are given to serve. Collectively, 'you' can't hire 'toughs' and "confrontational types' and properly label the process: "merit-based."
But, that won't stop Donald's exploitation of Project 2025 next year should he become a repeat president.
I am pretty sure that helps!
Does it? Why does the presence of two things negate the presence of others?
Did you even read my comment? Did you understand my comment?
I would rather the tough type in administration to be able to go against, diplomatically, a rough and tough world leader or country dictator.
in other words, the exact opposite of the pussies we see populating leftist administrations.
BTW. “Donald” has never endorsed Project 2025 so that argument was a failure before it hit the internet.
Yes…..and i read and understood your comment, hence my response.
Donald has approved the work of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 ( Mandate for Leadership). "You," the collective, can peek this out:

Donald Trump Delivers Keynote Speech in Florida 4/21/22 Transcript
Donald Trump: ( 46:24 )
Because our country is going to hell. The critical job of institutions, such as Heritage to lay the groundwork .
And Heritage does such an incredible job at that. And I’m telling you, with Kevin and the staff, and I met so many of them now, I took pictures with among the most handsome, beautiful people I’ve ever seen. I didn’t like that picture. If you could lose that picture, please would you Kevin? But this is a great… No, he says I won’t do that. But this is a great group.
And they’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America and that’s coming .
That’s coming. Because nobody can stand what’s happening right now. Only a fool, only a fool or somebody that hates our country could like what’s happening right now.
Donald Trump: ( 50:18 )
Okay. But then they made me a dictator instead. In other words, I don’t know, which would you rather be, a dumb person or a dictator? I don’t know. Perhaps a dictator would be better. I don’t want to be a dumb person. With the right leadership, we can erase the Biden nightmare. We can rescue the American dream faster than anyone ever thought possible. But we cannot be satisfied merely to turn back the clock to 2020 or 2019 . The potential of our movement and the Republican party itself is so much greater than that.
We need an organization like yours working on the next generation of policies for a post-Biden, post-COVID world.
And if I didn’t have confidence in your new leadership and all of the people that I’ve met and so many that I knew of, but didn’t know, I wouldn’t be here tonight.
Oh, nice job, CB!
Rachel Scott implied that Trump's objection to DAs who vowed to get him, was based on race.
She seems to have gotten away with that.
gosh darn those uppity black women that don't give any due respect to racist white men ... /s
Ya, we're all racists and you've been allowed to make that claim since you've been here.
Rachel Scott started the interview with Trump with a very direct question, using Trump's own words as the basis of the question. Instead of trying to answer the question, he insulted her and changed the subject.
Those are the facts. What is your excuse for him?
Trump attacked DAs who vowed to "get him." She concluded that so-called question with "how can black people trust you?"
Are you going to stand there and tell us that Trump attacked those DAs because they were black?
Why not? He attacked Kamala because she "became" black a few years ago.
He is attacking Kamala every day on her policies. The same policies that she is now running away from.
she said trump had questioned obamas birthplace - straight up racism.
Trump called black prosecutors "animals" . Not quite as obvious as the birtherism , but still a totally uncalled for racial tone.
He told four female persons of color , who were American citizens and in most cases born here, that they should go back where they came from.
-
Nonetheless Trump had the opportunity to argue that those acts and comments of his were not racist, but instead he attacked the black reporter.
Face it, your candidate is cracking up under the pressure.
losing campaign momentum, losing the media spotlight, losing in the polls, losing in the cash haul....
he's a total loser, and I hope the convicted felon gets remanded directly into custody at his sentencing...
Very weak sauce.
1) Obama was not the only person to have his birthplace questioned. The others were all white. That disposes of the idea it was racist to question it.
2) Trump called all the prosecutors who were waging lawfare against him "animals" and other things. It was clearly based on prosecutorial malpractice.
3) The 4 "women of color" were Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.). In other words, the radical squad and they are not all women of fucking color. Trump didn't tell them to go to another country. Trump told them: “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”
Trump tells Dem congresswomen: Go back where you came from - POLITICO
Face it
Face it: Scott is a white hating race baiter.
I blame white progressives suffering from white guilt for this kind of hate.
Ya! Someone needs to look into that
Yeah and nasty is code for uppity black women who dare to use the racist scum's words against him.
I love how she started the Q&A that, 'no one wants you here'
Lifelong total loser!
It must be fun living in alternate reality.
Birtherism lasted well into Obamas presidency. We are talking about years . At one point 2/3 of republicans believed Obama was born in Africa. EVEN THOUGH the state of Hawaii had specifically said TWICE that Obamas birth certificate proving he was born in Hawaii was on file in the state archives. After Trump came out as a birther , TWO YEARS after Obama became president , the state of Hawaii made an official statement for the 3rd time that Obama's birth certificate was on file with the state and he was born in Hawaii.
Only a fool thinks birtherism was not racist, and Trump was up to his ears in it.
gee, what revealing comment...
Is that a Freudian slip?
= all white people should stick together.
Sort of like if a black person does not vote Dem it is because they are an Uncle Tom.
He WAS the only one questioned because of his name and his skin color.
Despite there being no evidence of "lawfare" being the motive behind the criminal proceedings.
So again he made the statement based on their names and skin color.
And, that's tribalism in a general sense.
He is not lying. When she first ran as senator, she ran as an Indian American. When she realized being that would not get her anywhere the votes she and Biden needed to win in 2020, she ran as the first black VP nominee.
Trump is right again.
You call a black woman a 'white hating race baiter' thanks to white progressives.
WOW
That's quite inflammatory and nucking futs
No one was 'out to get him' - he's racist scum.
Trump implied, no he straight up said, that Kamala Harris (seen here as an infant in her Father's arms) is not black or African American...
Less than a year after she turned Black.
Yep, and I used to be a dumb brunette...
and what an excellent D E I example so ample of Dysfunctional Erection Inhibitors
The logic of this article is non existent.
The far right loves them some right wing Israeli government.
The Israeli government has, on occasion over the years and recently, made vastly unequal "trades" with people they call terrorists in order to get some captured Israelis back home. When Netanyahu does it its necessary, when an American president not named Trump does it its horrible. That is how conservatives hate America . It seems many of them would be happier living in Israel or even Russia.
The logic is undeniable.
Hostage swaps with rogue regimes encourage more hostage taking.
You are aware that Palestinians for hostages exchanges that took place earlier this year in Israel/Gaza involved very unequal numbers of people with Israel releasing far more Palestinians than hostages they got back ?
How does that put Biden in a good light?
Replying on this column every day gets too easy.
Easy but weak.
Sounds like I Robot

What logic was that by the way?
It is much easier to toss bullshit than an actual thoughtful response.
Just telling it like it is brother.
Me too
trump's daily mantra...
Good example of what I was talking about. Bullshit without any thought
Trump made hostage swaps with Russia, Iran, and even the Taliban in 2019 and 2020. Stop listening to the propaganda that Trump would have done it different or better. He doesn’t just lie a lot - it’s practically every hour, on the hour.
Trump did do a decent job of bringing some people home, but he didn’t bring everybody home and certainly not just by force of will. Just like other presidents, he sometimes gave up prisoners to make the deal, and yes, he did so with “rogue regimes.”
Because Palestinians aren’t worth as much?
DA!
I'll pitch in for their boat tickets
And here I thought right wing Populists liked having American hostages released? Hmmm... this must be one of those many things that are only good when someone with an R after their name does it.
Not when it is a democrat involved with arranging the hostage swap.
Exactly.
"Whenever I hear that Kamala Harris is leading in the polls, it brings back memories of the ones in 2016 that had Hillary winning by a landslide. Personally, I don’t believe Kamala can win an honest election. Nor do I believe she can hold together a team given her track record." ... Dr Carol Swain
...a trumpster that's been licking republican and thumper asses since 2009.
must be some kind of honorary degree - what a stupid ass kisser
This article has been shown to be an epic fail, otherwise known as every day of the week.
Ya! SSDD
Remember, those two hardest things to say in the English language:
"I'm sorry" and "Trump was right."
Not hard to say regarding the latter, just never true.
I'm sorry the 'right' has found itself so lost, and Trump was
right, about him loving those not so educated or informed or easily played, as the excuses for this clown will go down as some of the most exhaustive ever seen construed and distributed while believed and not through with it, as in the BullShit that seems to have not end, as with every Trumpian excuse, it does send US All further away from where we should be today, and in every weigh, brings US further down, all led by one orange clown, who's racism lowers an entire country, yet we see it yet still abound...
Trump enabled a dark side of so many here, to appear, and as it opened the door, it shines the light on so many and much more, that can't seem to see or be made aware of that which they do share, and they've proven far too generous to know or care, almost to the point of debate know longer seems fair
Conservative arguments in favor of Trump are the verbal equivalent of "bringing a knife to a gun fight".
a plastic butter one
"I was wrong"
is something never said by the former 'president' convicted felon and rapist nor its' supporters/enablers/cult

Straight up delusional.
My advice for white MAGAs is to definitely keep on defining who is and who is not what race.
Pointless, stupid, and dishonest bickering. Just like any president, Trump presided over prisoner exchanges where we gave somebody to get somebody. Sometimes we give a lot to get a little, and sometimes it’s the other way around. I’m so weary of this POS lying about how he would have done this or that amazing thing at no cost. He’s so full of shit.
It was a false statement. There was no fact checking.
Our dishonest media remained silent.
Did he? Because the simple math of this is we got 16 people and they got 8. That’s 2-for-1 in our favor.
