I had to laugh yesterday

One of our local radio talk show hosts was taking calls about the situation in Ukraine. He's a Limbaugh-want-to-be in a local radio market that never thought his callers would literally turn on him in favor of putting down a democracy. He's been a Trump supporter all the way, but he's at least smart enough to know praising Putin over a democracy like Ukraine is not something he wants on his resume.

He found himself in a bit of a pickle as he was taking callers who were claiming that Biden was wrong to back Ukraine, and that Trump is right when he says "the US should be friends with Russia". After years of bashing democrats, he literally found himself praising Biden for doing the right thing by backing Ukraine. For the first time in years he was doing something right. I hope this is happening other places.
