and tim ryan. j.d. vance literally did an about-face on the debate stage. why? because his stance on abortion is not popular, but go to other places across the country, republicans are digging their heels in, cough, cough, georgia. ah. georgia! oh, my god. do we go there now? hmm. i guess we could. i mean something as fascinating going state by state by state and it s all over the place and reminds me, actually, not of 2008. huge democratic year in 2010. huge republican year reminds me of 2014. remember hour tight 2014 was? didn t know which way north carolina would go or so many other races. think about it. arizona, i think that s may be safe for democrats right now. nevada. whoa. not safe for democrats. looks like they could lose that seat. colorado safe. then go to wisconsin. that s close. ron johnson doing pretty well. pennsylvania looks like it could
the russians are continuing at the united nations and in the media? you know, i think the whole world has already seen that russia has a serious track record of lies, manipulation. and that it is trying to continue doing this. we have seen this from the very first start of the war, back in 2014. remember may 17th? when it was down by russian? troops with the support of the russian military? that particular incident, as they called, it was portrayed by russia in seven or eight different ways, where they were trying to picture it as something that had no relations to the russian federation but we know that mh17 was connected, indeed connected to the russian federation. so, at this time right now, russia is just continuing on its lies. and we have to ensure that our
and it s trying to continue doing this. we have seen this from the very first start of the war, back in 2014. remember, ma-17, when it was downed by russian troops, with the support of russian military, that particular incident, as they called it, was portrayed by russia in seven or eight different ways, they were trying to picture it as nothing that had any relation to russian federation. we know a couple of years later that it was already connected, and legally connected to russian federation, so this time right now, russia is just continuing on this way, and we have tone sure that our major weapon is truth. and that s what we are coming with. and that is how we probably can break the, even the neutrality of some of those nations that
