Who is the only person who beat Trump?

Edit: Says a lot about a person who downvotes a question because they don't like the obvious answer.

The article doesn't say how. It only says that it has happened.

The interesting part is the very end:

The onslaught against migrants that the Russian nationalist movement has unleashed, in concert with the police, has become so virulent that even some of Putin’s erstwhile defenders can’t stomach it. Despite being a member of Russia’s military alliance, the government of Tajikistan recently called for its citizens to stop visiting Russia amid the roundups. The leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, slammed the Kremlin for its campaign of “persecution based on nationality or religion,” which he called a “messy inquisition of citizens of foreign countries.”

Kadyrov is hardly a Kremlin critic. Back in 2010, he told me of Putin, “I love him very much, as a man can love a man.” But there comes a time when enough is enough.

They always need to be at war with some element of American society. Since Dems are largely taking a break and waiting for the Find Out part of this disaster, they're going to have to quench their thirst by going to war with each other.

Oh lookee there. The NYT picked it up this morning.

Lloyd's List is one of the world's oldest continuously running journals, having provided weekly shipping news in London as early as 1734. But, sure, they could have made the whole thing up to make Russia look bad. :) Look around, maybe you can find something more credible to your tastes.

Finland is a fine addition to NATO

In a move I expect to have an equal impact on the world, I’m proud to announce that I’m running for the papacy.

(No, I’m not Catholic. Does that matter?)

Cruelty is the point.

By the way, I'm already tired of this blowhard

You allow Russia to invade one country, you invite Russia to invade the next country.

You allow Russia to shoot down one passenger plane, you invite Russia to shoot down the next passenger plane.

You allow Russia to cut one undersea cable, you invite Russia to cut more undersea cables.

A confederacy of assholes

Neither Orwell nor Bradbury nor Vonnegut could have come up with anything so bizarre and upside down as to have a complete criminal and felon pretend that he cares about law and order.

Assad wasn't toppled by just one group of rebels, but by the Kurds and Turkey as well. Was it coordinated? Sure. Was there a guarantee of success? I suspect not.

Matt Gaetz is the Eddie Haskell of Jeffrey Epsteins

Murkowski openly advocated for the Obama administration to rename Mt. McKinely as Denali...this feels like a really good way to piss off one of the most important votes in his party (for absolutely no reason).

When Iwas there in the 90's the locals called it Denali, not McKinley.

Tell you what Don. I'll vote for the billions to buy Greenland if you sign off on Puerto Rico and DC as states. That's the deal.

Joel stole millions of dollars while being tax collector of a Florida county. What did he do with that money. He, and his good friend Matt used it as fuel for coke and sex parties. So he rolled on Matt. He's now in jail for federal fraud charges.

That's a trafficking charge. But, as far as I know, the Feds had a problem with credible witnesses. The victim is now working as a porn star. The DOJ thought that they shouldn't prosecute a case they would lose.

Most civilized countries have abolished the death penalty
