I wouldn't travel over there without at least a brown passport.

Anybody catch what type of plane flew the three into Andrews tonight? They said a private jet. Just curious.
Photos online make it look like a "private" jet. The U.S. government owns numerous such jets for diplomatic purposes, and I imagine it was one of those.

I was wondering if it was a LearJet, Gulfstream, etc.
Trump will fix it.

The media this morning is declaring this a massive win for Harris because they "brought home the hostages, something Trump could never do."

Even comparing it to the Iran hostage crisis and implying Trump wanted Russia to keep them there until the election so he could be the savior. The same lie they tired on Reagan.

The media never misses a chance to try to resurrect the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

God bless President Biden!

This is a great day for the American hostages that are now back home.

Russia, Putin & the Commies can all go to hell.

"Hostage diplomacy" isn't sufficiently on-point. Kidnapping and extortion are much more accurate descriptors. But so long as it's productive for Putin, expect it to continue. Meanwhile, Russia remains a blight on the planet.

"Thursday's major prisoner exchange highlighted the heavy imbalance that has become typical of such deals, with Russian winning the release of individuals convicted of serious crimes while the West is focused on its own citizens jailed on trivial or baseless charges, or even on Russia's own citizens who are the victims of political persecution by Putin's government."

You gotta give it to Putin; his attempts to recreate the Soviet Union are not going well physically, but his backdoor KGB-style manoeuvring has been chess against NATO for the past 25 years.
