Former GOP Rep. @AdamKinzinger told CBS News that if the choice comes down to Biden or Trump in 2024, he'd vote for Biden:
"I don't even have to hesitate. Do I agree with everything Joe Biden's doing? No, of course not. He's a Democrat. I'm an old-school Republican, I'll say. But I believe he's a good man, and I believe he's focused on the Constitution. I believe he's not looking for reasons to violate the Constitution like Donald Trump is. I wouldn't hesitate at all."
Kinzinger also said he still considers himself a Republican:
"The only reason I'm not giving up the title is I refuse to let the anti-constitutionalist side win. Every democracy in my mind needs a liberal or a progressive movement and a conservative movement because that tug and pull – that push and pull - is what actually makes a country advance at the right speed – not always perfectly. I'll continue to fight for the GOP, but that doesn't mean I'm voting GOP. I'm not because they're an anti-constitutionalist party at the moment."

Russia: Firefighters in Buryatia, region of 1 million people conquered & annexed by Russia from Mongolia in the 17th century, recorded a video address complaining about their monthly salaries of 22,000-24,000 rubles. Equivalent to USD $230-$250.
Decency matters.
While Donald Trump refused to wish Senator McConnell well, President Biden once again showed compassion to Mitch McConnel, a Republican leader:
“Mitch is a friend, as you know…I know people don’t believe that’s the case... I’m going to try and get in touch with him later this afternoon.”
BREAKING: Hunter Biden has been indicted.
Hunter Biden will get a fair trial.
If Hunter Biden is found guilty, we shouldn’t blame the judge or jury.
If Hunter Biden broke the law, he should be sentenced under the sentencing guidelines for the crimes he is convicted of.
Hunter Biden should not be pardoned by the President.
The Rule of Law should apply to everyone.
Now can Republicans say the same for Donald Trump?
I see a lot of right-leaning accounts claiming that there is all sorts of 'Evidence' that Joe Biden is "corrupt" and then pointing to Devon Archer's testimony. Here's Archer's testimony that Republicans are leaving out:
Matthew Swartz: Are you aware of any wrongdoing by Vice President Biden?
Devon Archer: No I'm not aware of any.
Matthew Schwartz: The report also found "no evidence that any action of the U.S. Government or any US official was taken to benefit Burisma or Hunter Biden. Do you have any evidence or knowledge that contradicts this conclusion?
Devon Archer: No.
Matthew Schwartz: So based on everything you saw, heard and observed, did you have any knowledge of Joe Biden having involvement with Burisma?
Devon Archer: No, not direct, no.
Matthew Schwartz: No involvement of Joe Biden?
Devon Archer: No.
FACTS MATTER!
A street band was singing Russian songs in Georgia.
A Georgian seized the microphone and recommended them to follow the Russian warship. I don't want to hear Russian songs in Georgia, he emphasized.
