If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

If Trump wants to see elections in Ukraine, all he has to do is use the power he keeps talking about to get the Russian invaders off Ukrainian soil. Then martial law in Ukraine ends, and elections will follow.

American social media companies write the algorithms that determine what voters read; moderation systems are opaque; political advertising cannot always be tracked. Do European democracies, or any democracies, really have sovereign elections anymore?

Here is the Issue for Putin:
Putin invaded Ukraine for 2 reasons.
1: as punishment for rebelling against him, to send a signal to everyone else that he is the leader and cannot be questioned
2: To keep the west out of Ukraine at all costs

Interesting that Carlson asks "why am I required" to hate Assad. But nobody is "requiring" him. it's just that normal people, with what used to be normal American/Christian moral values, find torture and mass murder repugnant. He does not. And he also does not want to feel bad about that.
