I'm sure he will expose Trump for the Russian asset that he is.

Christ, Trump repeating a line from the 1970s Soviet Union about European countries taking advantage of the
United States with NATO should have been a tip.

He has been beyond cool since the Inauguration. This is a man who is very focused and confident.

preaching isolationism and bad-mouthing NATO at that time. What a short collective memory we have.

.... produce "The Apprentice," in order to sell the idea that Trump was a billionaire business
genius instead of a failed business and conman.

experts at the State department and intelligence agencies first. Ya know, to have a plan going in. Then I would be willing to bet he stuck with the plan and those agencies have the recording of the call. That kind of thing comes in handy. Carefully giving Putin the message we want, then being able to analyze his response.

former ambassador to Russia. McFaul helped developed the US policies under President Obama, and I think I read that he was going to help out President Biden, too. I believe McPaul currently teaches at Stanford.

I forget the story, but a few years back Putin wanted Donald to extradite McFaul to Russia, and Donald considered it! It would have been bad politics for Donald, and you know him - always looking out for himself.

Hopefully, someone here remembers what happened back then.

Everything Biden does right just points up how much Trump did wrong and HOW wrong Trump's wrong was.

Give 'em hell, Joe!

I'm guessing that Joe doesn't owe money to the Russians, and the Russians don't have pee-pee tapes on him!!

One of the problems with the focus on MTG is that everyone has lost sight on the important stuff - MF45 is a traitor!!
