Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

I agree that performative moral preening needs to go, but what Carville is recommending is just "it's the economy, stupid" with a Bernie coat of paint.
He hasn't been relevant in a quarter-century for a reason.

Glad to see the VP acknowledge that there are vestiges of anti-totalitarian energy in the GOP. Embers only, but they annoy the administration deeply.
I'm not even talking about the substance of their views. Much of what these people have said about the Ukraine war has been proven wrong, but whatever. We can agree to disagree.
