Yulia Navalnaya: It's not a shame to do little, it's a shame to do nothing. It's a shame to let yourself be intimidated.

“I address you with the words of Alexei, in which I really believe: It’s not a shame to do little, it’s a shame to do nothing. It’s a shame to let yourself be intimidated.”

— Yulia Navalnaya, quoted by ABC News, vowing to continue her husband’s fight against Vladimir Putin

No, Nikki, Everybody would NOT be upset.

Nikki Haley Says Again She Would Pardon Trump
February 19, 2024 at 7:38 am EST By Taegan Goddard 13 Comments

Nikki Haley vowed once again to pardon Donald Trump should she defeat him in the Republican primary and win against Joe Biden in November, The Independent reports.

Said Haley: “We’ve got to leave the negativity and the baggage behind. I don’t want this country divided any further. I don’t think it’s in the best interest for America to have an 80-year-old president sitting in jail and having everybody upset about it.”

BEGALA: I hope these shoes are wonderfully comfortable for Mr. Trump because he is a very soft man.

Begala: He knows a lot about feet because he dodged service in Vietnam by claiming that he had bone spurs in his feet. He's got very soft and delicate feet. And so I hope these shoes are wonderfully comfortable for Mr. Trump because he is a very soft man.

Stop. Mincing. Words.

Alexei Nalvany didn’t just die. Putin ASSASSINATED him

Trump didn’t just sexually abuse E. Jean Carroll. He RAPED her

He didn’t just incite a riot. He TERRORIZED our Capitol, spilling American blood

Trump doesn’t just admire Putin. He’s a RUSSIAN ASSET

Sen Tillis: Putin is a murderous, paranoid dictator.

Navalny laid down his life fighting for the freedom of the country he loved. Putin is a murderous, paranoid dictator. History will not be kind to those in America who make apologies for Putin and praise Russian autocracy. Nor will history be kind to America’s leaders who stay silent because they fear backlash from online pundits.

Looks like journos were cherry-picking the polls to make it the horse race they wanted

One Thought
By Josh Marshall

"One thought on how this race turned out. As far as I know, not a single poll showed Pilip ahead. There were a few at the end that showed it close. But this was yet another race with a lot of junk or what we might call plain wrap polls. There were a couple polls I saw recently that had a modest single-point lead for Suozzi. But at least one of these and I think two also added a tighter screen of voters who were sure they were going to vote — slightly different from a standard “likely voter” screen. Those showed Suozzi moving into double digits. That made me pretty confident Suozzi was going to take this, for obvious reasons. The vibes world picked up a big Pilip surge in the final days. But that didn’t pan out.
