Putin maintains power through projecting strength, power and fear. The Ukrainians have shown they can overcome their fear and by doing so have exposed Russia’s, and therefore Putin’s weakness. A tyrant cannot maintain power once he is exposed as weak. The Russians will put a stop to Putin before Putin puts a stop to the Russians.

And yet after 115 appointments to the Supreme Court that’s exactly what it took. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to illustrate the point you made - Yes, I agree Racism is at the heart of it, ingrained institutional racism. Biden just cut the racists out of the equation, predictable fabricated outrage has followed.

Placing prisoners of war to act as human shields is a breach of the Geneva Convention. Treating captured Russians humanely and getting that message out to other Russian troops and Russian civilians is a far smarter play, not to exclude far more moral, and in the battle for hearts and minds morality matters.

The Constitution places the nomination of appointees to the SCOTUS firmly in the hands of the President. This President made a campaign promise to appoint a highly qualified black female to the SCOTUS, he’s done exactly what he he promised he would do. The histrionics from the other side of the house is where you’ll find your ‘partisan’ pantomime. I have no problem holding a whole party to account for behavior the whole party supports.

While recognizing personal budgets might be tight, maintaining a passport is probably a good investment if you believe your son might at sometime in the future wish to visit or move to the UK.

Can you point me to your objections to the last two appointees, one of whom was clearly an over emotional alcoholic with a secret benefactor paying off his huge gambling debts, you might remember him sobbing in outrage at being questioned in the Senate. The other had to be schooled on basic points of constitutional law, a bit of a worry for a SCOTUS judge.

Here’s what he actually did. He nominated a black woman to the SCOTUS, and in doing so triggered a predictable response from the same people who are gerrymandering to reduce the voting rights of minorities pulling books discussing race out of school libraries. Nobody who is not triggered to respond with predictable fragility on matters of race are in the least bit bothered by this appointment.
