Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason
I keep debating how I could improve upon your comment, but this simple and direct statement of fact is too good and too correct by definiton to be beat. Nothing more needs to be said.
I don't think it's his or anyones specific surprise by this behavior. For me, it's surprising that people seem to just let him do it and seem like it's normal, which only normalizes it further.
I don’t think releasing that would even hurt him that much. His supporters would either call it fake news or celebrate it as „owning the libs“. Or both.
Idk, my first reading on the title’s quote was as being a backhanded compliment directed at Biden, but that might just be because I always expect Trump to be a spiteful fuck
And we got our people back, but, boy, we made some horrible, horrible deals. And it’s nice to say we got them back. But does that set a bad precedent?
There's no shortage of Americans in Russia for Putin to hold hostage. He's going to keep doing it until either we let every one of his spies and assassins go free or we stop giving in.
He is, but why this orange fuck-piece celebrates it? Because he can turn it at Dems being weak,
while the same deal would be in the interest of the US no matter who holds the office, as every country is to defend their citizen around the world,
while he himself could've generously freed even more spies and killers without demanding anything back if he was there to decide.
And Biden's admin not only negotiated to free their own but also freed russian political prisoners who could've been killed like Navalny, who supposedly was in a draft of this exchange before something-something the thromb fell off. I don't feel like Don could've negotiated that.
