In my almost 65 years I have never seen a sh!tshow like this one.  Where to start?  Biden admin makes a plea deal with Islamofascists responsible for 9/11 that apparently none of them knew and the SecDef had to rescind.  The Secretary of State is ordering the movement of military assets. The Dem nominee for President will have been anointed as such not having won one single primary vote, not one.  POTUS gives away the farm to get back two political prisoners from Russia and while taking a victory lap wondered why Trump didn't get them out.....not realizing because he has dementia that both were arrested during his presidency and not Trumps. Neither Biden nor Harris said a word about Hezbolla killing kids playing soccer or Israel's  amazing whacking in Iran for seveal days. July jobs numbers come in low and 10 of the last 14 months they've been adjusted downward, unemployment is up, employment in the private sector has shrunk in the last 12 months for Americans and grown for illegals, etc.

The media has gone from Biden is sharp as a tack and Harris is a disaster to Biden is a disaster and Harris is the second coming who has changed every one of her well documented radical leftist positions in a matter of a few months.  This will amount to the greatest gaslighting in a century, I not of all time.  And Goody, who was AWOL has come to the surface after months of relative silence. To say we live interesting times is a massive understatement.

The 9-11 prisoner's case was turned over to the military years ago and Trump did nothing about it during his 4 years.

Whelan was arrested in 2018 while Trump was in office and wasn't able to get his buddy Putin to release the Marine Vet.

You need to get your facts straight before you try...opps forgot facts don't matter to the Right.

Goofy, you never cease to amaze.  The 9/11 case originated 23 yrs ago and during that time we had 3 years of Bush and 8 years of Obama/Biden and you want to dunk on Trump for not doing anything?  That's your response?  How typical of TDS....missing the point by a million miles as usual.  Take your meds and try to keep up.....this is about a dysfunctional executive branch where low level flunkies and making horrid deals and then being overturned by SecDef, all without Dementia Joe or his replacement having a clue.

As for Whelan, you are correct that he was arrested in 2018 but was sentenced in 2020 and the WSJ guy was indeed grabbed when Biden was in office.  Hardly a surprise that Rmp didn't do anything to get them out before one was arrested and the other was tried and convicted.  Ironic that the WSJ exporter was also not released until after he was tried and convicted.  But again, TDS has again messed with your mind.  No, Trump would have never given Russia what Dementia Joe and his replacement gave up in order to get these two released.  Yet another example that Joe ain't running things and his replacement is too busy avoiding saying anything without a teleprompter. 

So my point stands......it is now openly obvious what was blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain that we literally have no idea who is running the executive branch, cause it ain't Joe or his replacement. Now lt us all wait for Goofy to come up with another deranged pivot to Trump because that is all he has. He can't defend what he vote for so he fixates on the guy who isn't president. SMH.

Like you, I didn't vote for weird and deranged Trump in the primary. If he was so great during his term as President, you would have voted for him rather than DeSantis in the  2024 Republican primary. You are nothing but a chameleon....DeSantis one day, Trump the next, and Harris tomorrow.

You minmize the effort required to achieve a hostage exchange. My wife subscribes to Vanity Fair and I just read this fascinating article.

Vanity Fair?!?!?!?  HAHAHAHAHAHA.... Nothing changes the fact that none of the Russian hostages were released until they were tried and convicted.....neither of which happened while Trump was POTUS...and no way would he have made such an awful deal to get them.

I am perfectly consistent in my views.  In 2016 I did not believe that Trump was a conservative but he did far better than I expected.  In 2024 I didn't vote for Trump because I believed that DeSantis was far more likely to defeat whoever replaced Biden and would be a two-term POTUS, not a one-term like Trump regardless of how far superior he would be to the Dems. It's going to take far more than four years to fix the mess that your man and lady have caused.
