If it weren't so absurd and deadly it would be humorous.
Trump has been Putin's puppet for decades.
Water is wet.
We expect US senators to keep up with known facts.

As another DUer says above, "This.Is.Why.We.Lose.Elections" - having a go at a senator who actually thinks exactly the same as you.,

I simply answered the question.
I am just the messenger.

(106,816 posts)"We just get tired of leaders paid big bucks who state the utterly obvious years after everyone else knew it." - a view, based on you not listening to the clip in the OP, and an attack on Sen Murphy
"If it weren't so absurd and deadly it would be humorous." - another view
"We expect US senators to keep up with known facts." yet another view, and another attack on the senator.

I answered it.
Sorry to have offended you somehow.
I am perplexed.

(106,816 posts)"I think the story here has been pretty simple from the start". That's what he said, directly before the quote that was written out on BlueSky.
So why are you moaning?
