Republicans can't help but politicize a Russian invasion of one of our allies. Trump won't shut up, but can't fix anything in less than his "two weeks" lie. The backfire for Putin and an even worse one for Fox. And we're giving up despair and cynicism (especially as it denotes intelligence) for Lent. And thank God or the Flying Spaghetti Monster or whatever higher power there is that Joe Biden is actually President. More at http://ProLeftPod.com !

Joe Biden's "hot mic" not-an-accident moment was not for Peter Doocy, it was for Biden's base. A new SCOTUS justice freaks out the right even before they know who SHE will be. Sarah Palin tests positive and dines out anyway, and no, M&M shoes do not distract us from the criminal investigations Republican fraudsters, especially their favorite president, are facing.
