We must win the war against Russia for the same reason that we had to win the war against the Axis powers eighty years ago.
In both cases, there could not, and cannot, be a half-victory. That would make no practical or concrete sense, given the nature and aims of the enemy.
Period.

FWIW, a court reporter's account, submitted *by the govt* on 11/19 in the Comey case--before it switched positions on 11/20—shows that the full grand jury could not possibly have approved the operational 2-count indictment.
The jury was "released" when deliberations ended.

Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

Snide, condescending and deeply dishonest. Feels like a villain from a bad 80s teen comedy.

It is journalistic malpractice for reporters to print Trump administration statements because they so often prove to be outright lies.
They must be relegated to the final paragraphs with fact checks and context.

Many gov't spokespeople will shade the truth, spin reporters, or sometimes let loose a whopper or two.
But DHS's Tricia McLaughlin is in a league of her own.
Reporters should start from the assumption that whatever she says is false, and then see if, by chance, she stumbles upon a true statement

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.
