We're helping Ukraine get Putin out of their country; the January 6th Commission needs to get him
out of ours.

On MSNBC's Morning Joe program yesterday (3/29) Joe Scarborough really did a great job of putting the whole statement in its perspective. He was one of a few journalists who took the President's remarks at face value. Well, Scarborough has been around long enough, has enough experience and knows how bi-partisan politics work. He's also been around for most of Joe Biden's career in politics and he knows him, who he is, how he operates, what he thinks. And he thinks President Biden didn't mince any words in expressing himself.
It was not a gaffe, certainly not one of the kind of "off the top of his head" remarks that Trump came up with every time he held a microphone in his hand, making himself look confused, contradicting what he'd said before and demonstrating his ignorance. Nor was it the first time, looking back, as Scarborough pointed out, that a President of the United States has talked tough to Russia, or about Russia. The President was sending a message. And you can bet it was clearly received. There's no need for anyone to try to walk this back and the President has made that very clear.

Putin's fingerprints were all over that January 6th Trump insurrection. That violent insurrectionist mob was fighting against everything that the Ukrainians are now fighting for. Maybe seeing the images of Ukraine's ruined cities, and the refugees flooding into Eastern Europe will get not only Democrats, but all Americans moving to make sure that everyone who was associated with the planning and conducting of that Trump insurrection is brought to justice. We can't afford to be apathetic or indifferent, or afraid of the inflated balloon of "political consequences." We're providing weapons and money to help the Ukrainians get Putin out of their country. We need to provide the incentive and put the pressure on our politicians to get him out of ours.
