I’m quite confident that Tucker Carlson is being paid by Putin, and should be sent to jail for the rest of his life.
I particularly liked when he said (paraphrased), “This is not charity. This is an investment.”
Good speech. He was able to make some jokes and even a pun in his speech, very well done.
He is not letting go of his gifted flag. I can hold!
This is a gift link to the NYT live blog about Zelenskyy’s visit if anyone is interested.
Oddly enough, I have exactly zero problems with the result being getting rid of Putin.
I watched the whole thing, rather after the fact but it was up on one of the news sites – I’ve forgotten which one, except that it certainly wasn’t Fox.
I think most of the chamber got their exercise for the week getting up and down – it seemed that no longer had they sat down when they stood up again for yet another standing ovation. Some members sat at least some of the time, but even they seemed to be applauding. I didn’t hear a single boo or catcall. (I couldn’t tell you who was doing what, I’m partly faceblind and for most of them couldn’t tell who was who. But I think just about all of them were there.)
I saw online that MTG wasn’t there.
I made the mistake of checking in on Truth just in case the TFG was ranting. The first post I saw was from Don Jr. It was a picture of Zelensky handing the signed flag to Harris and Pelosi with what I assume was an image of naked Hunter Biden standing next to Zelensky and jerking off. Classy.
This pretty much summarizes the MAGA brain trust at this point. Congratulations MAGAts, This is who you are. Be proud. Show it to your mothers.
Tap the Admiral. 
Tucker Carlson is the modern Lord Haw-Haw.
Well, that story implies that at least some of the recent misfortunes the Russian Navy has suffered may not have been Ukrainian action.
that Zelenskyy gets back safely.

Frankly, I want America to send him back blatantly openly. Have 30 American fighter jets escort him in a plane all the way back to Kyiv, tell Russia that any attempt to shoot him down is a casus belli.
I still can’t understand why we aren’t sending trainers or advisors with the Patriot.
We’ve sent in advisors or even special forces into most modern conflicts.
Iran sent a entire drone team to Crimea. Iran is directly responsible for a lot of deaths. We don’t have the balls to staff a defensive Patriot system? It would make sense for our men to set up the Patriot and gradually train the Ukrainians.
If we were, it’s likely we wouldn’t know it. I have little doubt that for every public announcement of military equipment and other aide, there are lots of secret forms of assistance we’re providing.
“Sargent Artillery Instructor, where have you been the last six months?”
“Oh, you know, around and about…”
“Visiting my girlfriend in Canada.”
Why assume that trading wasn’t included? In fact, it was.
