If Trump were President there would be no Ukraine War. Democrats ABUSED FISA Courts with the Russian Collusion "Steele Dossier" lie. Address it or you have no credibility. Johnson has thrown an olive branch. Democrats will NEVER respond in kind. Complete bull.

[@leegrulke5383]

Claire. You don't seem to realize what secure borders are. How low unemployment and low inflation are. We enjoyed them without exception for the past 40+ years other than the average 7.5% unemployment during the Obama years. For workers seeking private insurance, other than those subsidized under the affordable care act, medical insurance is INSANELY EXPENSIVE. You 3 would never know or ever care. Claire, you ONLY hold office because your late husband was an admired politician. Quote frankly, you wouldn't be qualified to hold Missouri Senator Josh Hawley's jock strap. Let's keep it simple. Is Joe Biden capable of carrying an intelligent, spontaneous conversation? If so, why can he only call on pre-approved members of the press that submit questions in advance as he always had for fear of "getting in trouble" as HE ALWAYS HAS? WORSE YET. During the recent visit of the Japanese Premiere, not only did his staff put tge simpleton questions on the front of his notecards, they had to write the answers for him to read on the back of the same card!!! This person (I won't call him a "man") is the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD? This is the level of leadership that Americans should expect? Liars now calling Joe "sharp". If you are unwilling, or unable, to insist on spewing misleading lies to earn your paycheck, rather than provide fair and balanced coverage, all you are doing is creating divisiveness and hate. Unfortunately, it is what you seem to thrive on. Disgusting.

Well, he spent a good deal of personal time with Zelensky when he came here. Looking at a man in his face who then explains the misery that he and his country is going through while trying not to get wiped off the map probably played a big part in his change of mind. Especially when you know that you can personally do something decisive about it. If Mike doesn't do this, he has to live with that fact the rest of his life.
