Far too often in the last seven years, I have said the word hate and felt the feeling of it more than in the previous five decades combined. I have, more times than I can count, said βI am so tired of hating people I donβt know.β

Jennifer Rubin makes a compelling case that Chris Wray is not the right FBI director for now.
Why?
πHe presided over the worst internal infiltration in decades.
π Failed to act on intel about Jan 6
π Failed to track domestic terrorist groups
Time to go, Wray.

πNOTE: I see the 15-time loser McCarthy and his pathetic Trump Republicans going after Schiff and Swalwell on Russia, and I'm confused. Because the GOP's very own report supports EVERYTHING these gentlemen have said.

πTraitor Trump's GOP position on Ukraine: Surrender to Putin.
Quote Tweet
We must stop funding Ukraine. This war needs to end.
America has sent over $113 billion to Ukraine, now sending tanks, and have funded the Ukrainian government at $1.5 billion every month.
Itβs a corrupt slush fund and itβs just killing people.
