There’s nothing to worry about folks, Biden should have all new fluids and be back at work Monday.

What about the invasion on our southern border?


The Chinese and Mexican cartels have that under control

McCarthy told "Sunday Morning Futures" that he believes one reason is "because this war is not going well" and Putin is "being painted into a corner and he wants to be a stronger hand to try to negotiate a way out."

He went on to argue that the second reason is because Putin is "unstable."

"At this moment in time, no country in the world should stand with Putin," McCarthy stressed. "Everyone should unite around the basis of what he just claimed to take in just the last hours."

“I’m a Trump supporter and I 100% support this.”

Not me, I would have preferred a policy of NOT letting Ukraine goad Putin into attacking, as I get kind of nervous when their nukes are put in high alert.

Thank you.

Putin is evil. Biden is just a career liberal with early onset dementia so they aren’t on the same level.

But I don’t feel there’s a need to clarify something so obvious. Well, obvious to most.

Well they both seem to be in hiding. Trump would have been on TV daily updating and explaining.

My sincere and humble apologies, Mea culpa. It was a cheap shot and a weak attempt at humor. Since we’re on the humor beat, an excerpt from Seinfeld in a different context:

I seem to recall his press secretary or some other staffer making a comment about Putin “hidig out” - oblivious to the fact that Biden had gone back home to “hide in his basement”.

Lots of Putin stooges on FR.

When the murderous KGB bastard starts killing people they care about perhaps they’ll change their minds.

Putin is a thug and this won’t be his last invasion.

Paul Ryan’s protege and Frank Luntz’s housemate, who elevated Liz Cheney to the leadership and dumped her only when forced, is now a mind reader.

Why should we go to DefCon 4? Instead, let’s follow George Washington’s advice and stay out of foreign wars. Let’s put our troops on our own southern border. Further, while I don’t think Putin is an angel, traitor Biden and his cohorts are usurpers and every bit an enemy of the US as Putin may be; actually more so. Biden and his ilk want to destroy America, I don’t think this is Putin’s aim.

Do you really think Biden is any better? If you don’t think that treasonous usurper and his enablers won’t start killing when they think they can get away with it, you don’t understand communists/Nazis/Fascists/Maoists, etc., very well.

We have true enemies in DC, maybe enemies in Moscow if we are stupid enough to get involved in their quagmire.

Too bad McCarthy never bothered to say anything after Pelosi called General Milley to block President Trump’s access to the nuclear launch codes.

Correct. It is want they want, for their adversaries to be afraid of their irrational actions and decisions; keep them guessing. It’s all part of the chess game that is being played.

Putin pointedly said at the onset of the invasion that there will be serious consequences exacted upon a country that interferes.

That didn’t last long. Already nationalist mercenaries/volunteers, along with new munitions and equipment deliveries to Ukraine are on the way via Poland and other NATO countries. There will be small arms air-drops and humanitarian aid soon.

Putin is trying to bluff his way in keeping any interference out. He will try several bluffs through rattling the nuclear option. Putin knows he is weakening fast on the field and his military dominance is about to be seriously compromised by inbound support for Ukraine forces. He can’t sustain the losses and what it is costing him in money and morale, at home and on the field.

"...What about the trashing of our constitution? ..."

The Constitution has not been "Trashed" - it is far too valuable for that.

The covid pandemic should have taught you that there could - at any time,
and without warning - be a severe toilet paper shortage.

(and don’t laugh, that’s the mindset of the kids now running this country and holding the nuclear football)

Only if they can find it. Remember when Clinton lost the football for a week or so?
