In 2021—and beyond—we’ll be told regularly by his minions there’s a “New Trump”, more mature & wiser. There isn’t, and there will NEVER be.— Larry Sabato (@LarrySabato) July 15, 2021

Republicans are bristling over Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer’s (D-NY) hardball strategy to try to force them to finalize a bipartisan infrastructure deal in a matter of days,” The Hill reports.“Republican negotiators and members of leadership believe Schumer is trying to jam them and warn that they won’t vote to start debate even on a shell bill that the Democratic leader is intending to use a vehicle for the bipartisan deal once it’s finalized.”

Whether true or not, how does this release of papers accomplish anything useful? It was well established that Putin’s minions used their access to social media to push Trump and disparage Clinton. The questions were always whether the Trump team deliberately collaborated with the Russians in these efforts and whether Trump was being blackmailed or bought by Putin. Putin deciding to help Trump for his own motives may be of historical interest but has nothing to do with whether Trump was a traitor or should be charged with criminal actions for his association with Putin.

In answer to your question nope. Changed no minds at all. And to me, it’s well established the Trump campaign exploited it all, knowingly incurring the debt to Putin.

OK, even taking it as a given that Pete Doocy is a dope - WTF is it with the RW media and their “communism” shtick? AFAICT, every single fucking public statement President Biden and everybody in his Administration has made regarding the Cuban protests has had just two major themes:
1. Sympathy and support for the protestors.
2. Criticism of the Cuban government.
