Bravery of incoming Biden admin,

as evidenced by Jake Sullivan in his condemnation of Navalny's arrest by Putin today.

Gonna take a lot of courage to get through the next few days, weeks, months..

Their courage is a role model that I will turn to and rely on in facing my own fears.

He probably used his presidential account so taxpayers covered the cost. Many people say that a box of chocolates was also sent to Putin but it's unclear if those came from Trump or Melania.

That’s my plan. I will not stand by quietly while anyone or any news network spews lies about Biden or Harris from now on.

The Fairness Doctrine must be brought back. Enough of the shit they’ve been pulling for decades. Just get f###en rid of them. Without a bullhorn spewing lies at them they won’t have any goals nor will they be manipulated to destroy the one thing that benefits them.
