17 years ago, Obama tried to "reset" relations with Russia - and was vilified by Republicans as naive and weak of defense.

Now, Trump and the GOP want to "recalibrate" with Russia, by conceding everything Putin wants.

We can all see who is weak and naive.

An Azerbaijani plane that crashed in Kazakhstan was downed by a Russian surface-to-air missile over Grozny, according to Euronews citing an Azerbaijani government source.

Now that Joe Biden Stepped Down for the Good of the Country, Joe Kahn Must Join Him - emptywheel

In its serial demands on Joe Biden and other Democrats "for the good of the country," the NYT keeps demanding that politicians do its job in holding Trump accountable, even while failing to do its part. If Joe Kahn's NYT won't meet NYT's own standards for reporting on Trump, he must step down.

Point is:

If it continues in this vein, soon we'll start shooting blue tits in Russia, hundreds of brands will have to be shut down for their yellow and blue logos, and at least one political party – the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia – will be banned.
