Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?
The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out.
You would be doing your country - and the world - a great service.

@LindseyGrahamSC
The only people who can fix this are the Russian people.
Easy to say, hard to do.
Unless you want to live in darkness for the rest of your life, be isolated from the rest of the world in abject poverty, and live in darkness you need to step up to the plate.

Ingraham: I dont know why a sitting US Senator would be tweeting that out. It seems really dangerous and stupid and we like Lindsey Graham but thats just a stupid comment

Do you know how horrible it feels to have Ingraham agree with me? LOL

It is wildly reckless and irresponsible for a U.S. Senator to call for assassination of anyone, no matter how evil.

(63,221 posts)I think he knows where this is going and it's not going to end up well for anybody, regardless of what side you are on. He's a self-serving, narcissistic ass-kisser, but he just might be right about this one.
They are all scared.

Thats just not acceptable.

(2,218 posts)The fact that he is now willing to turn and bite his master informs me that he worked for money and not because of compromat. He may have compromat, but at this point wants a copy of the video for himself and this may be the only way he can get it.
