Is Biden weak or do humans have to walk out of the room?

View in browser   February 23, 2022 They might differ on the specifics, but for Republicans, President Biden is woefully mismanaging the crisis in Ukraine. And deep in the hellscape of right-wing handwringing is the unified theme that none of this could have happened under Donald Trump because Vladimir Putin was too intimidated by his American counterpart.   Yep, that wild claim—which conveniently forgets Trump's incessant praise for Putin, downplaying of Russian interference, and undermining of sanctions—has basically been playing on repeat for weeks over at Fox News. (Take a look at what House Republicans have to say and ask yourself: Is Biden weak or do humans have to walk out of rooms?) But in light of Trump's praise for Putin as "very savvy" and "genius" for invading eastern Ukraine, are Republicans finally going to drop their bonkers amnesia?  If you've been paying attention to the past five years, I think you know the answer. —Inae Oh Advertisement   A Fugitive Chinese Tycoon Met Steve Bannon.
