President Joe Biden ridiculed Donald Trumpthe view of Vladimir Putin in an interview released on Saturday, laughing at the way the former president said the Russian leader’s invasion of Ukraine was a “genius move”.

“I put as much into it as Trump says Putin is a genius as I am when he calls himself a stable genius,” Biden said in an interview with political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen.

Ukrainians are embroiled in a fierce battle for their country after Moscow ordered an invasion Wednesday night.

Republicans Biden was quickly accused of allowing Putin to make aggressive moves, saying the Russian leader considered him weak.

Sometimes they hint that Putin is less of a villain than Biden himself.

This week, Trump went even further, speaking in admiring tones about the way the former KGB officer invaded Ukraine.

“I put as much into it as Trump saying Putin is a genius as I did when he called himself a stable genius,” Biden said in an interview with political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen.

Putin ordered troops to enter Ukraine on Wednesday night after deploying about 190,000 troops over the past six months to close its northern, eastern and southern borders.

This week, former President Donald Trump praised Putin’s strategy to recognize two breakaway parts of Ukraine before the invasion as “smart” and “genius.”

Speaking to conservative podcast Buck Sexton, the former president said, “I came in yesterday and there was a TV screen and I said, ‘This is ingenious.’

“Putin declares a large part of Ukraine, Putin declares it independent. Oh, that’s wonderful.

“So Putin is now saying, ‘This is independent,’ much of Ukraine. I said, “How smart is that?”

Trump touched on the issue again Wednesday, during a fundraiser at his Florida resort of Mar-a-Lago.

“I want to say that he is taking over the country against sanctions worth $ 2. I would say that’s pretty smart, “he said.

In an interview, Biden said the invasion would have the opposite effect on Putin by strengthening forces against him, including NATO.

“My goal from the beginning was to make sure I kept all NATO and Europe on the same page. That’s the only thing Putin thought he could do was split up NATO, creating a big hole for him to get through, and that didn’t happen.

“If you notice that there was complete unanimity, Russia will pay a heavy price for this short-term and long-term plan.”

On Friday, he approved the sending of another $ 350 million in military aid to Ukraine – including hardware and Javelin anti-tank missiles.

But by Saturday night, Ukrainian forces had clashed with Russian troops on the outskirts of their capital, Kiev.

In an interview, Biden also said Putin had failed to split NATO and that the invasion would eventually have the opposite effect on Russia by uniting Moscow’s opposition.

Biden is the last high-ranking Democrat to condemn Trump’s stance on Putin and accuse Republicans of repeating Moscow’s claim.

On Friday, Hillary Clinton told MSNBC’s Morning Joe: “I want to make sure in our own country that we call on those people who are helping and comforting Vladimir Putin to see what a genius he is, what a smart move he is, who he is. are broadcast by Russian media not only in Russia but also in Europe to demonstrate the division in our own country.

“Perhaps this terrible aggression by Putin will harden the backs of many Republicans in office who understand that you cannot continue to give Trump and his aides a blank check because they will take us to a very bad place,” she continued. .

She added that too many Republicans were “naive in such a dangerous way.”

Speakers at the CPAC Conservative meeting in Orlando, Florida, took turns hitting Biden for what they considered a weakness.

They warned that China was watching what was happening in Ukraine to see if it could move to Taiwan with US intervention.

Others said Trump’s energy independence policy has helped keep oil prices down by preventing Putin from filling his military chest.

Desperate Ukrainians fleeing the war were so crushed on the Polish border that several people fainted and a woman is believed to have died, a Briton said.

Jeremy Myers was caught falling in love with his Ukrainian girlfriend as people lined up for 25 hours, with temperatures dropping to minus four degrees at night to escape bombs in the war-torn country.

Jeremy, a 44-year-old Mancunian, described the “smear” as “beyond danger” and said one man had died in a pandemonium.

“It was an absolute commotion,” said Jeremy, a business consultant, speaking safely from Poland.

“There was a very small organization, and the closer you got to the front, the more people pushed and pushed.

Mancunian Jeremy Myers had fallen in love on the Polish border with his Ukrainian girlfriend as people lined up for 25 hours to escape bombs in a war-torn country.

Jeremy flew to Ukraine to spend Valentine’s Day with his girlfriend of two years, Maria Romanenko (both pictured), 29, a journalist and anti-Putin activist

“Everyone will have these big jumps so often and people will scream.

“She had very young children and she felt very dangerous. Terrifying.

“Battles broke out when people accused others of pushing or hurting them. There was blood on their faces. We saw several women fainted and carried over the crowd.

“And there was a strong rumor that someone had been crushed to death – Polish border guards confirmed that they had heard that it was true.

“It was very dangerous.” I have bruises from the whole push and I’m just happy that we finally managed to get to Poland.

Jeremy flew to Ukraine to spend Valentine’s Day with his girlfriend, of whom Maria Romanenko, 29, has been a journalist and anti-Putin activist for two years.

Her Kiev-based family was convinced that Putin would not invade and that it was safe for the couple to stay in the country.

But on Thursday morning, they woke up to the news that the invasion had begun.

The couple joined huge convoys at the small border checkpoint Shehini. Jeremy described the small crowds (pictured) at the border as “madness” and “dangerous”

Maria, a prominent critic of Putin, has reluctantly agreed to leave the country.

A few weeks ago, a photo of her wearing a bracelet that read “Damn, Putin” was circulated in Ukraine – and she could be charged with arrest if the Russian army reaches Kiev.

A friend agreed to take the couple to the border, where they joined huge convoys traveling from Kiev to the small border checkpoint Shehini.

Police returned cars ten miles from the border to ensure that men under the age of 60, called to defend the country, would not try to escape.

But when the police saw Jeremy’s passport, they waved at him and said, “After what the British did to help us, we will miss you.”

Jeremy said there was a festive atmosphere when they first reached the small village of Shehini. But that quickly dissipated as people realized how slow the queue was.

“There were probably about 2,000 people in line at first,” he said.

“These were mostly women and children with some older people. There were also several foreign students.

“After this initial queue, we headed for a rectangular space, which also had thousands of people, and then into a smaller cage, like a cage. At each stage, people became closer and closer.

– Nobody kept any order. There were only a few soldiers with weapons, and when someone approached them and asked if they could organize the people, they just looked really menacing.

“At times it was said that they had to build a separate queue – a corridor for women with small children – but this was ignored.

“People tried to help each other if they could, but they were all in the same miserable situation.

Jeremy said there was a “strong” rumor that a woman had died in the collision. Pictured: The pen, where the crushing was strongest

Maria (pictured), a well-known critic of Putin, reluctantly agreed to leave the country. A few weeks ago, a photo of her wearing a bracelet with the inscription “Damn, Putin” went viral in Ukraine

“The scariest part was when we approached the cabins – we had been standing for about 12 hours until then – because then we really felt like a dangerous lover.

“Only three people worked in the booths – they had to process people before they got to passport control – and it was extremely slow.

“There were no toilets and nowhere to get food or even water. There was not even a place to sit, so people had no choice but to stand for hours, even though they were exhausted.

After passing through the first queue, they faced a second one for passport control, which took another 12 hours.

After going through this, the Polish border was a completely different experience.

“He was fully served and we moved there quickly,” Jeremy said.

“After we finished, there were hundreds of volunteers who gave us food and drinks and even clothes.

“People were standing there with signs offering to take people wherever they wanted, for free.

“Some people drove us for two and a half hours to Krakow, where we have friends, and refused any payment.”

Jeremy plans to return home to the United Kingdom after Maria, a former student at the University of Leeds, received a visa that would allow her to join him.

“I feel physically and emotionally devastated,” Jeremy said. “But I’m glad I’m safe.”

CPAC Sen. Rick Scott said Republicans who do not think the party needs a specific political agenda to bring Congress back to by-elections ‘they don’t deserve to rule.’

The chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Commission (NRSC) highlighted his own 11-item agenda, released this week, saying: the road to the collapse of America, we don’t really deserve to rule.

“Washington is full of people who do nothing, who believe that no conservative change can ever happen.” Florida the Republican said in an address to the Conference on Conservative Political Action (CPAC).

This is a clear break from minority senator Mitch McConnell, who has refrained from releasing GOP agenda in the hope that Democrats they will crash to the ground.

In January, when asked what the party’s plan was if it returned to power, the Kentucky Republican joked, “I’ll let you know when we get it back.”

“Washington is full of people doing nothing who believe that no conservative change can happen,” Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott said in an address to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

Scott highlighted his own 11-item agenda, published this week, saying: “If Republicans return to Washington’s business, as usual, if we have no bigger plan than to be a speed bump on the road to America’s collapse, we in fact, they do not deserve to rule

Scott takes a picture with a fan at CPAC, the annual Conservative Gathering in Orlando, Florida.

“I’m a businessman,” Scott said. “I believe we just have to have a plan. We can’t just do our best and just hope for the best. ‘

IN agenda includes a combination of classic republican priorities – downsizing the federal government and passing national laws to identify voters – and measures for cultural warfare, such as declaring “gender”, completing the border wall and its name Donald Trump and limiting most federal workers, including members of Congress, to 12 years of service.

Democrats took advantage of part of a plan that required all Americans to pay income tax. “All Americans have to pay some kind of income tax to have skin in the game, even a small amount. At present, more than half of Americans do not pay income tax, the plan said.

McConnell believes the best way for Republicans to take the only Senate seat they need to regain a majority is to turn the election into a referendum on President Biden. With inflation, spending, the evacuation from Afghanistan and the now-Ukrainian-Russian crisis, scarce figures in presidential polls show no signs of improvement.

So far, 30 Democrats in the House of Representatives have announced their resignation in a demonstration of low expectations for the by-elections, compared to 13 Republicans.

But other priorities in Scott’s plan include requiring students to swear an oath of allegiance every day, requiring them to stand for the national anthem, banning the government from requesting a competition for application documents and “reimbursing” law enforcement.

Scott also launched a full-blown attack on Democrats during his speeches at the CPAC.

“The military left wing of our country has become an internal enemy,” Scott said. The military left has now taken control of our economy, culture and our country. When you broadcast the news at night, do you recognize the country you see? he asked. The crowd shouted a resounding “NO.”

“They want to end the American experiment,” he said. The military left is the modern version of book burners. These are the narrowest and most intolerant people our country has ever seen.

“Those Democrats who have no idea how the real world works are behaving as if they have just invented socialism,” he continued.

All this makes you wonder, is this the end of America? Scott asked. “Well, it may be, but only if we let it.”

Scott acknowledged in a speech that his plan could “instill fear in the hearts of some Republicans” as conservative priorities could repel some Democrats and independent voters.

However, he says his priorities are in line with those of American families. “That’s what people think, by the way,” he said after launching the plan. “If you talk to a normal, unawakened family, they think so.”

House of Representatives minority leader Kevin McCarthy is expected to announce his own program in the coming weeks.

Scott did not criticize McConnell’s approach and insisted he had a “good working relationship” with the Republican leader.

“As a general rule, you know, this year’s election will probably be very much on Biden’s agenda. But I believe we will win, “Scott said.” We need to have a plan and what we are trying to do when we get the majority. ”

And Democrats took advantage of the lack of a Republican agenda.

“We are currently competing against the Republican Party. And I think Mitch McConnell has been quoted as saying that they are not on any agenda, “said Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Chairman of the Senatorial Committee on the Democratic Campaign. “So if you are not on the agenda, you are not offering anything for the future, for the people of the country.”

In January, Biden asked, “What are Republicans for?” After his plan to switch to his Build Back Better program failed.

“I did not expect there to be such a determined effort to make sure that the most important thing is that President Biden has done nothing,” Biden said in a public statement. “Think about it: what are Republicans for?” What are they for? Tell me one thing they are for.

He quoted New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, R, as saying to the Washington Examiner that he had decided not to run for the Senate after talking to Republican senators and learning that their plan for the next two years if they win conversely, the majority focuses on obstructing Biden more than pursuing any political priority.

“For the most part, they were all happy with the speed with which they did nothing. It was very clear that we just had to keep the line for two years. Okay, so I’m just going to be a barrier for two years. I’m not doing that, “Sununu said.

Valery Gergiev, a conductor who is a personal friend and a prominent supporter of the Russian president Vladimir Putinwill not lead the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra on a five-concert tour of the United States that began at Carnegie Hall on Friday night.

The 68-year-old Russian conductor is the musical director of the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg, Russia, the White Nights Festival there, and is the principal conductor of the Munich Philharmonic.

He received the Hero of Labor Award of the Russian Federation, which Putin revived in 2013. invasion of Ukraine which began on Thursday.

Gergiev has been friends with Putin for more than 30 years – the two met when Putin was an employee in St. Petersburg and Gergiev began his term as head of the Kirov Theater there, according to New York Times.

He has repeatedly defended Putin’s actions in the past and supported Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014.

Valery Gergiev, pictured left with his longtime friend Vladimir Putin, will not lead his Vienna Philharmonic on a five-concert tour that began at Carnegie Hall on Monday night after he failed to make a statement condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Gergiev, left, has been friends with Putin for more than thirty years – the two met when Putin was an employee in St. Petersburg and Gergiev began his term as head of the Kirov Theater there.

Gergiev, pictured, appeared in a television commercial for Putin’s third presidential campaign in 2012. In 2014, the conductor signed a petition in support of the annexation of Crimea.

The decision comes as Russia is banned by a growing list of events condemning the conflict with Ukraine.

Yesterday, the International Olympic Committee told international federations to relocate all events planned to be held in Russia or Belarus, and the country was banned from participating in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in May.

“This change was made due to recent world events,” said Carnegie Hall spokesman Blue Carlino.

Ron Boling, a spokesman for the orchestra, said the philharmonic would not comment on whether the decision was made by the orchestra, Gergiev or Carnegie.

The move came after the famous Teatro ala Scala in Milan sent a letter to Gergiev asking him to make a clear statement in favor of a peaceful solution in Ukraine, otherwise he would not be allowed to return to complete his commitment to conducting. Tchaikovsky’s The Queen of Spades . ‘

Gergiev was slightly contested by the audience during a performance Wednesday night, but the situation changed dramatically with the Russian invasion overnight, theater spokesman Paolo Besana said. His next performance is in Milan on March 5.

Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala, who is president of La Scala, said the request was made because Gergiev had repeatedly declared his closeness to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala (pictured), president of La Scala, said the request was made because Gergiev had repeatedly declared his closeness to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We ask him to take a clear stand against this invasion, and in case he does not, we are forced to give up cooperation,” Sala said. “It is clear that culture can move to other levels, but we must act in such a situation.”

Although Gergiev did not publicly comment on the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, he had previously supported Russia’s actions against the country, the Times reported.

Online publications in recent days have promised protests at Carnegie Hall, where Gergiev was to lead the Vienna Philharmonic on Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons. The orchestra then travels to Hayes Hall in Naples, Florida, for performances Tuesday and Wednesday.

Activists posted the hashtag #CancelGergiev on Twitter and spread photos of the composer to the Russian leader.

It would not be the first time Gergiev has angered foreign appearances on the ground – in 2013, protesters opposed him from the outside for failing to condemn Putin’s restrictions on the country’s homosexuality debate. New York Times reported.

The conductor appeared in a television commercial for Putin’s third presidential campaign in 2012. In 2014, Gergiev signed a petition in support of the annexation of Crimea.

“Ukraine for us is an essential part of our cultural space, in which we were brought up and in which we have lived so far,” the conductor told a state publication at the time.

However, just days before the last-minute decision was made, violinist and chairman of the Vienna Philharmonic Daniel Froschauer told the publication that Gergiev would conduct the tour, defending his support for Putin.

“He will be an performer, not a politician,” Froschauer said. “We are not politicians. We are trying to build bridges.

Metropolitan Opera’s music director Yannick Neze-Segen will replace Gergiev for Carnegie’s concerts, creating a busy schedule before Neze-Segen leading the premiere of Matt’s original French version of Verdi’s original Don Carlos in a five-hour performance Monday night.

Russian pianist Denis Matsuev will not play as planned on Friday. In 2014, Matsuev said he supported Russia’s annexation of Crimea.

Vienna said the weekend program would remain unchanged and a soloist would be announced along with a conductor for the Florida concerts.

Gergiev is scheduled to return to Carnegie in May to conduct two performances with the Mariinsky Orchestra; it is not clear whether these performances will go according to plan.

The surveillance video captured the shocking moment when a future thief tried to break into Chicago jewelry store with a heavy metal chain – but instead came face to face with the barrel of the gun.

The attempted smashing and grabbing took place just before 1 a.m. Friday at The Jewels of Chicago on East Madison Street on Jewelers Row.

The footage from CBS 2 shows a man in a blue puffy coat with a raised hood lurking outside the store. He waits while people pass before peering out the window.

Jason Kuach, who runs the building, told CBS 2 that the man stepped back and seemed to be checking to see if he would hear an alarm. He was in the office and heard the commotion.

“I don’t think he expected anyone to be inside,” Kuach said.

“I did not have the opportunity to tell him anything. The moment he saw me come out with a firearm, he quickly fled, “Kuach told CBS 2,” and I just heard, “No, no, no.”

Kuach said he was ready to fire if necessary, but there were no shots and no injuries were reported.

The identity of the potential thief is unknown.

As of Friday night, the store was still closed.

“For me, this store is bread and butter,” Kadar Mohammed, president and owner of The Jewels of Chicago, told CBS2.

Chicago’s bustling shopping district has become the epicenter of burglary and looting, with gangs of young people flocking to luxury stores, snatching goods and fleeing.

Burberry’s store on the famous Magnificent Mile in Chicago has been repeatedly targeted by brazen thieves between November and January.

Burberry is not the only business in Chicago that has been searched by organized gangs for smashing and looting.

In November, more than a dozen people stormed a Louis Vuitton store in the Chicago suburb of Oakbrook and stole $ 120,000 worth of items seen in a surveillance video to be taken out in garbage bags.

In December, two thieves broke into the Gold Coast Auto Gallery, smashed shop windows and distributed high-end watches worth $ 1 million.

Days later, police said a 16-year-old girl robbed the Niketown and Zara stores on North Michigan Avenue and used an electric shock to guard. She was later arrested.

Illinois Attorney General Kuame Raul said in September that large-scale thefts from shops organized by organized crime groups cost U.S. retailers approximately $ 45 billion in annual losses.

Raoul has set up a working group on organized retail crime, consisting of public and private actors, to tackle the problem directly.

“These brazen, violent crimes have been committed by sophisticated criminal organizations involved in drug trafficking, human trafficking and other serious crimes,” Raoul said at the time.

A similar trend is observed in other major US cities, including San Francisco and Los Angeles, which have progressive district attorneys and lenient sentences for nonviolent crimes, such as petty crimes.

HBO“Said real-time presenter Bill Maher Republicans they were “taken from a salesman” but warned liberals not to “humiliate” them, because that would put them back in the “rabbit hole MAGA”, despite a drop in Trump’s support rating.

“You were caught by a salesman,” Maher, 66, said during Friday’s episode. It happens to all of us.

He also compared Trump supporters who changed their minds to people who “went out with a psychopath” and said “the last thing they want to talk about is how they met a psychopath.”

“Look, we all had a friend who dated a psychopath. And then they come to their senses, the last thing they want to talk about is how they met a psycho, “said the host in real time.

“It took a long time for Trump voters to get to the MAGA rabbit hole. Jumping on them the second they take their heads off will provide many more years of political winter.

“Don’t do this, it will bring them back into Trump’s arms.”

Bill Maher, 66, warned Liberals not to “humiliate Republican voters” because they would return to the “rabbit hole of MAGA” and directly to “Trump’s arms”

Maher warned against calling Republicans “stupid, racist nasty kickers,” and instead asked them “kindly,” “Hey, how are you?” Welcome back to the wonderful world of reality.

Maher even cites a DailyMail.com an article on a Democratic poll that recently showed that swing district voters are “preaching” and “condemning” and telling viewers not to do so.

Despite his warning to play well, Maher highlighted Trump’s declining support, saying “Trump’s fever is starting to dissipate” as attendance at the rally is declining and his “press fart brains” don’t weigh as much as his tweets. .

Maher warned them not to humiliate them, despite a drop in Trump’s rating in opinion polls, falling 18 percent from October 2020 to January 2022. In 2020, 54 percent of Republicans were loyal to Trump because of the party, but now only 36 percent are

“You have to say, maybe you’re not like that anymore,” he said after comparing Trump to Madonna’s hit “B ** ch I’m Madonna.”

In October 2020, polls showed that 54 percent of Republicans were more loyal to Trump than to the Republican Party, but polls conducted in January 2022 showed that he was more in favor of Trump, jumping from 38 percent at 56. Maher did not cite where he got his data from, but it appears to have been taken from January NBC poll confirmed by DailyMail.com.

“Not everything can come from raw animal magnetism [Senate Republican Leader] Mitch McConnell, ”Maher joked.

the former president’s “star” players also refused to support.

“Men, people over 65, freaks of Jesus and white boys who didn’t go to college,” Maher said. “This is a description of the people who made him a star in politics.”

Maher said Republicans without higher education fell 26 percent in support of Trump from the party, down from 62 percent to 36 percent; the Conservatives fell 21 points from 59 to 38 percent; Republicans fell 18 points, from 53 percent to 35 percent; Republicans over the age of 65 fell 23 points, from 55 to 32 percent; and Jesus-freaks fell 19 points from 55 to 36 percent. Maher did not say where these numbers came from.

In the near future Associated Press According to the poll, 44 percent of Republicans said they did not want Trump to run for president in 2024, despite the strong branch of the former president.

“Things seem to have changed,” said Patrick Rufini, a Republican sociologist New York Times in January.

“It’s a strong attachment. This is one that is very likely to win the Republican election today. But is this the same iron, monolithic, Soviet-style attachment we saw when Donald Trump was president? No it is not.’

In 2020, 54% of Republicans were loyal to Trump because of the party, but now only 36% are

In just over a year, the numbers have “reversed” and now 56 percent of Republicans are loyal to the party. Maher added that the people who made Trump a “star in politics” – “men, people over 65, Jesus freaks and white boys who didn’t go to college” – all fell in support in a recent poll

Maher went on to say that “two-thirds of Republicans now even approve of Mike Pence verifying the vote” and that QAnon’s “Shaman” Jacob Chansley claims to have been “cheated” by Trump – although “the garment, he should he owns it himself.

“Something must change if heartless miracles, such as Pence and McConnell, dare to say out loud – in the end – that the emperor has no idea,” Maher said on Friday.

The informant spoke to Rodriguez through the passenger’s right window, and the transaction was recorded on audio and video and monitored live by agents.

He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison if convicted and a maximum of life imprisonment. It was unclear whether he had a lawyer representing him at the time.

The DEA has arrested Kevan Rodriguez (pictured), a 33-year-old Raleigh police operative for Raleigh cocaine trafficking and possession of a firearm. Confidential sources told investigators

U.S. Attorney Michael Isley said Officer Kevan Rodriguez distributed cocaine while in his police uniform and driving his patrol car.

Rodriguez’s arrest came after the investigation began in November 2021, when members of the Raleigh Police Department and the DEA were informed by two confidential sources about a police officer selling drugs around Raleigh, according to an affidavit as part of a federal criminal complaint in the eastern county of North Carolina.

Raleigh Police Chief Estella Patterson said Rodriguez was on unpaid administrative leave pending the results of domestic and federal investigations.

“The arrest of Mr Rodriguez is a disappointment to me, the Raleigh Police Department and the citizens and people of our community,” Patterson said.

“Although I am discouraged, I want to ensure transparency in order to maintain public trust.”

Isley declined to comment on whether there would be other arrests in the case, but said the investigation was ongoing.

Rodriguez has been employed in the department since July 30, 2018 and is on unpaid administrative leave pending the results of internal and federal investigations

Rodriguez, who was hired by the department on July 30, 2018, is an officer in the field operations department.

“When someone who wears the badge breaks the law, it breaks public trust,” Isley said. “This alleged crime is a serious breach of public confidence.”

Rodriguez appeared in court for the first time on Thursday in connection with the charges.

Ellie did not confirm whether such arrests are expected, but suggested there may be more staff than expected.
