PUTIN GOOD MAN. WHITE AMERICANS BAD MAN.

WHITE HOUSE FORCED TO SCRAMBLE FOR EXPLANATION AFTER BIDEN SAYS HE TRUSTS PUTIN
by Kevin Ryan
Moments before the two world leaders were scheduled to begin their summit this morning, President Biden seemed to clearly indicate that he trusts Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the assembled press.
From The Hill: “President Biden arrived in Geneva at the site of his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, shaking the Russian leader’s hand after the two posed for a photo with the Swiss president. ‘I hope that our meeting will be productive,’ Putin said… Biden nodded when asked if he trusted Putin”.
PBS: “Reporter to President Biden: Do you trust Putin? Do you trust each other? President Biden looked directly at the reporter and nodded affirmatively.”
Wall Street Journal: “As reporters were brought into the room where Messrs. Biden and Putin were meeting, a U.S. journalist asked whether the two men trusted each other. Mr. Biden looked at the reporter and nodded.”
Biden’s actions left the White House scrambling for an explanation. Communications director Kate Beddingfield said it occurred during a “chaotic scrum with reporters shouting over each other”. And White House press secretary Jen Psaki said “the president gave a general head-nod in the direction of the media,” “He wasn’t responding to any question.”
But it wouldn’t be the first time that Biden praised the man that former President Trump was chastised for meeting with.
Prior to the summit, Biden went out of his way to compliment Putin, saying “He's bright, he's tough, and I've found that he is — as they say when I used to play ball — a worthy adversary.”
Of course, actions speak louder than words. But Biden’s actions have thus far been even more favorable toward Russia than his words.
Less than six months into his presidency, Biden has already removed sanctions on a Russian gas pipeline to Europe, despite it undermining NATO and American interests.
And earlier this week he snubbed Ukraine on the question of NATO membership, saying the alliance will not admit the country and calling it “corrupt”.
Of course this is the same Joe Biden who, as part of the Obama administration, refused to arm Ukraine to help it defend against Russia’s attacks, and allowed Russia to invade and annex Crimea, taking the crucial Red Sea port away from Ukraine.
And all along Biden has pursued policies that would increase oil prices, something that will dramatically strengthen Russia, whose economy is all but dependent on oil for its revenues. The price of oil is up nearly 50% so far this year.
Even in the case of Russian cyberattacks against America, President Biden is seemingly deferring to Putin, saying he was “open” to Putin’s offer to exchange cybercriminals.
It remains to be seen whether the media will give Biden another pass on this latest incident undermining claims that Biden is tougher on Russia than Trump was.

WATCH as we learn how occupied government agencies (like the Federal Bureau of INTIMIDATION) manipulate patriots into infiltrating the very groups meant to protect America. Former special forces operator Jeremy Brown breaks down what they’re doing…and what We The People can do about it. SHARE this critical intel.

So, "patriots" are unintelligent rubes incapable of their own thought.
Got it.

Are you under the assumption that I disagree with the assertion that agents of the Federal government routinely engage in the infiltration of far-right groups in order to entice their members into committing crimes for which they can then be prosecuted?
If so, disabuse yourself of that notion. (Source: Ruby Ridge, and a whole lot of stuff since then.)
In order to play the victim card, sacrifices of ego must sometimes be made.
Ok, I've read the article.

Yet somehow I keep getting what sounds like reality from Tucker Carlson, and the young fella and his hidden camera at "Project Veritas" who thinks he's Allen Funt.

The FBI, CIA, and the other alphabet agencies be-clowned themselves during the Russian hoax, for which no one is wearing prison orange and no media have prostrated themselves in apology, nor returned any of their ill-gotten Pulitzers. In fact, we continue to get censorship from Youtube/Google, Twitter and Facebook for the stupidest of things.

Orwell kinda missed the mark on that one. Big Brother came not in the form of a tyrannical government which the people resisted, but in the form of technology companies which the people joyfully embraced.
I got a decent chuckle out of that one.
Yes.

Yes. Hence the chuckle.
Don't forget about The Salvation Army, Alcoholics Anonymous, The International Red Cross, and Carole Baskin.
