Please remember that any criticisms of the President of the United States during this crisis is immoral, disloyal, plays into Putin’s hands, and likely means that you’re a Kremlin asset or useful idiot. Now is the time for caution and patriotism, not criticism or questioning. (/sarc)
Important reminder from the past about our collective responsibilities now (though such reminders aren’t really necessary given how often and emphatically employees of media corporations such as
@kasie are saying the same thing or worse):
Just a stunning thing to read from someone whose corporate job title is “journalist” — criticizing the president is illegitimate:
Official arm of House GOP as the US works to keep alliances strong and US influence at its peak
Who is the enemy, exactly? https://t.co/IVEsy6xf8R

This was one of the most demented and insane things ever written and published by a Harvard Law Professor, even with the awareness that the competition is intense. It’s not just unhinged but pernicious. But since Tribe has the right ideology, it was largely overlooked.
In 2018, a Russian regional passenger jet crashed shortly after taking off, killing all 71 on board. Tribe suggested the plane was sabotaged by Putin to kill a Russiagate witness – who wasn’t on board. That’s how insane liberal elites are on Russia:HARVARD LAW PROFESSOR Laurence Tribe did not wait even 24 hours to exploit yesterday’s tragic crash of a Russian regional jet shortly after it took off from Moscow, killing all 71 people aboard. On Twitter this morning, Tribe (pictured above in 2010 with former Vice President Joe Biden) strongly insinuated that the Russian government may have purposely sabotaged the plane, murdering all of those on board, in order to silence one of the passengers, Sergei Millian, who has been linked to a couple of figures involved in the Trump-Russia investigation.
This is from the chief strategist of the 2004 Bush/Cheney re-election campaign who (needless to say) is now a Democrat and MSNBC favorite. He sounds like virtually every elite liberal in politics and media now. At least he’s consistent:
The nationalistic treason rhetoric from 2002 aimed at those who opposed the invasion of Iraq is 100% the staple of Democratic Party discourse and has been for five full years now.

after listening , in a very limited 2 nano seconds, to the morainic podophile it is quite evident that a crayon has a higher IQ than FJB
I guess, first, we should point out we are NOT at war… yet. Also, please cite the treaty under which we are obligated as an “ally” of Ukraine?
Now, we can move on. Who was being helped when Democrats accused Trump of being a traitor, a Russian asset, while he was negotiating with the Chinese on trade or Kim on peace in that region? Who was benefiting when Democrats, knowing full well it was lies and without foundation, accused Trump of being a Russian asset, even when he was negotiating with Putin himself? When Trump killed a high-placed terrorist leader, who benefitted by calling Trump a murderer?
Perhaps at times of national crisis, it is the time to suspend difference and line up behind the Commander in Chief (wish we had one right now), but when the country faces the same adversarial threats as we do now, is it proper to actually invent lies to use to tear down a sitting, lawfully and duly elected President that had actually broken no laws or committed now offenses?
Democrats have shown they are more than willing to align themselves with ANY enemy of the United States in order to gain political traction against a Republican. However, in the current situation, totally orchestrated by idiot Biden, his telegraphed weakness and his damage done to our energy industry and economy, is totally justified.
Steve Cortes Hits the Target, Team Biden Using Russia to Hide Outcomes of Their Economic Agenda
Putin is invading a sovereign nation that posed no threat to Russia, and risking a global conflagration in the process. That is entirely PUTIN’S DOING, not Joe Biden’s.
Take Putin’s side on this, and you are siding against Western Europe and your own nation.
We’ll be lucking if doubled gas prices and a crashing economy is the worst we see.
Putin would not be making any of these moves without a lame, incompetent, corrupt, weak puppet in the White House. He would not be confronting Trump in this way; Trump would have denied him the revenue he needs by maintaining our energy production and would be supplying Europe with energy instead of Russia. Idiot Biden sits around with his thumb up his ass while Putin occupies the separatist regions (Ukraine’s “Sudetenland”) when he should have been putting the full range of sanctions on Putin until he pulled his forces back from the border. Russia should be kicked off the UN Security Council and sanctioned. China should be punished for supporting Russia.
But we have a weak pile of limp shit in the White House who only worries about his foreign investments, not world peace or security. This is all due to the fraud that put the idiot Biden in office. It would not be happening under Trump.
They’ve probably been practicing by crossing our southern border.
So according to the Liberal wanks critizing Trmp was Freedom of Speech but critizing Biden is a violation.I read in a World Book Encyclopedia that its a crime to say bad things about your leader under Dictatorship
But we aren’t criticizing the President for Ukraine. We are criticizing Joe Biden.
