Biden pulls off swap
President Biden announced a prisoner swap with Russia involving at least 7 countries and including Marine Paul Whelan and journalist Evan Gershkovich. They had been held since the previous administration. The MAGA crown claimed the release would only be possible in the next Republican administration because Biden is a blithering idiot. I guess they were wrong. May Otto Warmbier reest in peace. https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/01/politics/russia-us-prisoner-swap/index.h…
VEEP choice down to two?
It appears Pa. Gov. Shapiro and Sen. Mark Kelly are the last two standing in the race for vice president. Kelly might be falling off because he isn’t union friendly enough. https://www.yahoo.com/news/josh-shapiro-mark-kelly-vetted-115640421.html
‘Weird’ is a stroke of genius
It’s not as mean as the words so regularly bandied about until they become meaningless like “fascist” and “misogynistic” but somehow branding the convicted felon and adulterer and his Hillbilly running mate as “weird” seems to have struck an effective chord in the campaign. I’m weird myself but, thankfully, not running for office. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/donald-trump-weird-republicans-str…
