    If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

      Biden said he could bring bipartisanship.

      But it passed the Senate this month so on we go.

        Some hyperbole here:

          @George-K

          Some hyperbole?

          There’s outright falsification:

          If you were a Republican officeholder and Zelenskyy came to Washington, maybe you would for a moment, ask him about his current and ongoing war against Christianity in Ukraine. Especially if you were, say, Mitch McConnell or John Cornyn and a lot of your own voters go to church on Sunday. They might care about that issue. But McConnell and Cornyn didn't mention it. They didn't say a word. You will not hear a word on television tonight about the fact that Zelenskyy has banned an entire ancient Christian denomination in Ukraine and then seized churches and then thrown priests into jail.

          That loudmouth fool conveniently fails to mention that it is only those Russian Orthodox churches under the Moscow Patriarchy and its priests found actively collaborating with and/or assisting the Kremlin war effort that are being proscribed.

          Carlson is perhaps the most useful idiot and asset Putin has in the US right now.

            @Renauda what gets me is his outrage, OUTRAGE, over the sweatshirt. There are photos of Churchill at the White House similarly attired.

              I'm deeply concerned about the incoming Congress and their ability to follow through on the most important foreign policy issue since God knows when. If we back off, not only will Ukraine be lost, but the US is lost forever as a reliable partner.

                Churchill often sported RAF work overalls in public during the war. Seems to me I have seen photos of him wearing them when meeting with FDR.

                But yeah, the outrage comes across as more than just a little contrived. But then not much should be expected of a yellow journalist of Carlson’s meagre calibre.
