“They arrested a judge?!” exclaimed Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH). “They can no longer claim to be a party of law and order. This must be a red line for congressional Republicans.”
This kind of sentiment can only come from a person entirely inexperienced in a courtroom. Within the first decade of my law practice, I was entirely disabused of the belief that judges can be counted on for either objectivity or integrity. Some are fantastically honorable, to be sure. But, in my experience, at least 30% are corrupted. Landsman mustn’t have a law degree. What a joker.
since when have Stalin's actions become sacrosanct i.e. Crimea belongs to Ukraine because Stalin gave it to them? Why, indeed, should Crimea belong to anyone?
Crimea was not transferred by Stalin. Khrushchev, who was of Ukrainian nationality, made the transfer the year after Stalin's death.
Stalin transported most of the Turkic population out of Crimea on the basis of their collaboration with the Germans during the wartime occupation.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, a series of referendums in Crimea indicated the desire of the majority to rejoin Russia. There is no majority support for an independent Crimea, and no-one is discussing it as part of any peace plan.
None of the above should be viewed as implying any support for the war crimes (deliberate targeting of civilians) of Putin in Ukraine since 2022.

One should not be surprised that radicals wearing robes engage in such illegal conduct
Tales of wackos, all.

Maybe Joey couldn’t get a deal done with Saudi Arabia was because right out of the box he trashed them as pariahs?
Seems there’s a very strong link between knuckle tattoos and bad, societal behavior. Here’s looking at you Michael Gloss and Mr. Garcia too?

Good point; why not make it independent?
