should have made him uncomfortable, they often kissed his ass.
Hopefully Russians want a change bad enough to oppose leaders like putin, despite the governments hammer. Russia has a lot to offer, without the likes of putin.

Trump told him in Feb. of 2020 how serious covid-19 was.
It's airborne, Bob, he said over the phone. And we get to hear this months later when he's pushing his damn book. How many thousands had died by then?
Good on John Dean.
