    Find me an example where an important nomination isn't made because it may be held up. That's not how things are done. Biden is rightfully being criticized.

    you said important. Ambassadorships are mostly political gifts.

    Not in strategically important countries.

  4. Plus, Biden ran on a platform of being Mr. Bipartisan and reminded us hourly that he had decades in the Senate and as VP so knew how to get things done in DC.

    Now it turns out that Ted Cruz and Joe Manchin are his go-to excuses for everything.

    The reality is the he is purposely letting Acting Ambassadors/ie. charge' d'affaire stay in those positions because they are appointed positions out of the career diplomatic corps and are usually far more lefty and DC oriented than anyone who would have to get bipartisan support. The host country gets snubbed in those arrangements because they have a lower level representation on behalf of the U.S. but Biden doesnt worry about that type of thing or anything else for that matter. The current acting ambassador was involved in all of that Hunter Biden/Let's all Impeach Trump for a phone call scam so she can just chug along without ever having to face the Senate if she is just in an acting capacity.

    Maybe Kummyla needs to suck someone's dick in order to move things along?

  6. Hopefully, Peter Doucy will ask Psaki if she thinks Kamala should do that.

    We all know Kamala's motto: "Where there's a willy, there's a way."

    :cool:

    They have an acting ambassador
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristina_Kvien
    and they are pulling the ambassador now anyway. Trump had both China and Russia massively accelerate their military buildup. This die was cast in 2016 when China and Russia realised they were dealing with a failing nation having elected Trump.

    By 2030 the US will be right wing totalitarian hole with a crucifying internal struggle.

    They love Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump in Russia. I wonder why.

    I see all of the right wingers throwing everything they can at Joe Biden over Ukraine but do you know what Joe Biden is not, an appeaser.

    The Hungary/Tucker/newsmax relationship is weird af.

    I had a passing though yesterday that Russia's strategy in eastern Europe has been to prop far right dictators (Belarus, Hungary, Ukraine B4 last election, and another country I can't recall), with propaganda & psyops campaigns. The Trump and US right wing news parallels did not go unnoticed. Using Hungary to deliver the message gives them some plausible deniability.

    The muddled mess of right wing media, right wing pollsters, the right wing political agenda in America, and Russians steering all of it:
