So let’s be sure that I’m understanding John Kirby, one drug attic LGBTQ female basketball player equals one Russian arms terrorist, so along those lines 1 US Marine trade would equal the state of Alaska and plans to the new B21 bomber

Trump would have gotten our marine home
How many Veterans have pot charges just for trying to deal with PTSD? This administration has some f'd up priorities. Releasing war criminals for someone who willfully violated the Laws of Rome. Leaving Veterans in the custody of the enemy.
Echo Chamber politics, you have 33% of the vote, the rest you have to fight for and you lost a lot of that today.
Party politics over national security, us Independent moderates in swing states get what just happened. good luck g4etting reelected after this.
Imbeciles.
11 Pros and Cons of the Patriot Act
The goal of the Patriot Act was to give Federal and law enforcement officials more authority when tracking, intercepting, or gathering communications and intelligence of suspected terrorists. It also allowed for greater communication in foreign intelligence gathering and provided the Secretary of the Treasury greater regulatory powers regarding foreign money and terrorism.
Certain privacy considerations for US citizens were reduced, including the use of “secret” courts where warrants can be issued to obtain metadata from phone calls and internet activities of private citizens. Warrantless collection methods were also used in some instances.
Pros of the Patriot Act
It strengthened US measures to detect, prevent, and prosecute the financing of terrorism. Law enforcement and government officials could now use their crime fighting tools for the war on terrorism. Because terrorists require financing to accomplish their goals, a primary focus was domestic and international banking systems.
It added scrutiny to foreign jurisdictions and financial institutions. US government and law enforcement could now investigate financial transactions that took place in foreign jurisdictions. This increased the chances of catching a suspected terrorist before an attack occurred.
It instituted measures within the US financial system to stop corruption. Legal loopholes that could potentially fund international terrorism while US banks profited from the encounter at home were eliminated.
It expanded the government’s surveillance authority. Terrorism and terrorists could be included in communication laws.
Improved communication and better resources provide more speed. Forced delays on the working pace of officials could be reduced.
Cons of the Patriot Act
It reduced the checks and balances on government oversight. Legal restraints were put in place to protect the rights of American citizens. In a moment of panic, Congress gave law enforcement officials permission to collect intelligence on legal citizens of the US. At the same time, judicial oversight was reduced, allowing law enforcement to act without always needing to get permission from the courts.
It reduced public accountability. One way to keep law enforcement accountable for their actions is through public oversight.
It reduced the ability of the public to challenge a government search in court. Many secret search warrants that are issued by the courts through the legislation of the Patriot Act come with a gag
She actually did commit a crime 😆
This sounds wrong
We now have a problem ! The ruling globalist elite and its media, will not listen to its people. This is not just America and Britain, but the whole world. The rift between our leaders and ordinary people is unbridgeable !!!!!
Another Catastrophic and disgusting self-serving political decision by the Biden Administration to rescue a "LGBT icon" while ordinary American families are told to shutup and fend for themselves when they are stuck or captive abroad.
First and foremost, the name is not pronounced "boot", it is rather pronounced "bah-wt" like in "bounty". This is the same Viktor Bout commonly called Bouty Groutch Jr. If you love to read, then you know him. You have seen him with that same mustache. It is him, the bout guy diagnosed with gout on his big fingers. It is of him they said "Is this not Bouty Groutch, the bounty hunter?" So now you know him, the bouncer.
Just banned travel to countries that are known to be anti-American. I know if it would limit travel but it would stop thing like from happening
This is such a good idea they waited until the final Senate seat was determined before doing it. No sense in stirring up America too soon.
Whelan is a CIA asset and they want a spy in return. The spy the Russians want back the government won’t even acknowledge they are here in America.
American officials are triggered…
Welcome home viktor 🤣 🤙
It's time to watch the movie again, hello Nicolas Cage.
All this does is show Russia that they can use High profile Americans who come to Russia as pawns to get a trade for their spys and terrorists free. America is weak and makes bad decisions. Let’s get it straight that this practice only is available for high profile Americans. If this happened to a plain ordinary American the president would do squat.
why does Griner have a low voice
