But don't be surprised if the Biden administration is indeed working on Whelan's release, and that he is repatriated soon. This will, naturally, discombobulate the right wingers, and the media will dutifully amplify their outrage over . . . well, something, and work double time to make it sound legitimate instead of ludicrous.

Florida Man was too busy cutting several thousand Taliban free. Then he dropped an impossible withdrawal date from Afghanistan that Joe Biden delivered on.
