Oh noes, not the dreaded GOP “pounce.” How will Biden sleep?
Are they a couple?
Maybe their should have their own reality show.
This is like the security guard at the mall yelling “Stop! Or I’ll yell stop again”!
This is what you get when the country votes Rats into leadership positions.
White? Male? Ex-Marine?
You’re on your own, bud.
“Many of the GOP lawmakers also expressed worry the deal would incentivize Moscow to imprison Americans in the future for leverage.”
Intersectional Americans, anyway. Others would be a waste of Moscow’s time and resources.
This ‘swap’ was on the table from day one... Why didn’t it take Biden this long to approve it? Of course, if he had done this before the election, the Dumocrats would have lost votes.
The Republican brand of virtue signaling. All a bunch of noise. The Republicans scream “loser” as their defining characteristic.
They have no real fight in them and love being the minority party. That is the whole goal of McConnell - to ensure the GOP stays the minority party. He is succeeding wildly.
WAY TO GO BRANDON!!!!!!!
Sleepy and ilk don’t give a rodents behind about freeing Patriots like marines or the J6 political prisoners in the DC gulag. Despicable yet they keep on prospering.
Yeah. A nice “holiday” card (since they don’t believe in Christmas).

all kabuki - RINOs dont care
They may even puff their sunken chests and make a frownyfaced speech full of indignation, and sideways winks.

"Republicans quickly issued statements expressing relief at Griner’s release"
“Female” basketball players are more important to Americans than military personnel are.
I see that during the entirety of Trump’s presidency there was a grand total of TWO threads about Whelan here on FR. The first was posted the day he was arrested:

The second was posted just a few days later, and most of the discussion is affirming Russia’s charge that he was a spy:

After that, crickets. Why? Because there was no news to discuss here of Trump attempts to obtain his release, or even news of Trump speaking publicly about him other than one early instance of “we’re looking into that”.
I’m sorry but he was released with a dishonorable discharge from the marines. I’m not impressed.
