WSJ editor Emma Tucker called it a "day of great joy" and said: "I cannot even begin to describe the happiness and relief that this news brings and I know all of you will feel the same."

My favorite part of this story is that he had to write a letter to Putin requesting clemency. Which he did, in Russian, and also asked Putin for an interview.

My favorite part is when Trump lied about giving up "NOTHING" when he secured the release of prisoners abroad. Or maybe he simply forgot?

So maybe neither one of them has the mental capacity to be President right now. (BTW, one of the four released yesterday was arrested in Russia when Trump was in office.)

Better yet, perhaps you should stop introducing politics into every topic.

Your favorite part is when President Biden tells the truth while Dementia Don is either lying for the 39,845th time or is too mentally incompetent to remember the truth? Huh.
