    The common understanding on the far right. You guys live in to be completely honest - a bizarre reality.

    Tsar is what Dems often used to refer to as someone given responsibility and overview over handling something which was common in the Obama years. Tsar is not an official title in the US government so I am not sure what you are expecting, but here is a story from when she was given responsibilities related to the border. Obviously she is not an actual tsar and title or not it changes little about how she has mishandled the border situation.

    This is not a both side scenario. Jan 6 happened and we have magats still refusing to believe it happened or tries to downplay it.

    No one on the left spends the day on here just spamming tweets of rando people sprouting nonsense. If u believe folks are acting like that call them out and prove it.

    If it was really Russian they'd use the word Tsar, duh.

    Based on the last 3.5 years, I think she politely declined off the record, his request to lead this effort. So the media isn't entirely wrong.

    Ironically it's Republicans who get confused by that title - claiming that Obama's Car Czar was going to take over the auto industry and make it goburnmont run!

    But in this case, Biden never made her the Border Czar. Just sent her down to central america to do economic development which is what she did.

    LOL. The Tsar and everyone associated with him was brutally killed by Bolsheviks. Maybe they’d use Comrade or Deputy.

    I remember clear as day she was tasked with it... questioned why she didn't visit... then visited... then questioned why ... etc...

    Point is, she was part of the admin and didn't stem the flow. She is part of the Biden admin and a top player so whatever they failed at falls on her too. She can't just say "oh I was on vacation".

    The Russian Imperial Romanov family (Nicholas II of Russia, his wife Alexandra Feodorovna, and their five children: Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei) were shot and bayoneted to death[2][3] by Bolshevikrevolutionaries under Yakov Yurovsky on the orders of the Ural Regional Soviet in Yekaterinburg on the night of 16–17 July 1918. Also murdered that night were members of the imperial entourage who had accompanied them: court physician Eugene Botkin; lady-in-waiting Anna Demidova; footman Alexei Trupp; and head cook Ivan Kharitonov.[4] The bodies were taken to the Koptyaki forest, where they were stripped, mutilated with grenades to prevent identification, and buried.

    GOP people calling her border tsar are probably trying to make her sound Russian (Commie) but they aren't wrong on a wider scale. She and her admin (Biden's) failed us on the border and she was given tasks related to it. Either way it's mincing words and distracting from her failures. I would do the same too if I were a boot licking Dem.

    She can't decline what she wasn't offered. It's amazing the spin people put on things. It was Texan Republicans who gave her that title. Invent a job for someone, then criticize them for not doing it???

    How did she fail? She went to those countries and got them to enact policies and pulled in economic investment. Thats not going to change things right away. It's a longer term solution.

    Let me state this again. She got PRIVATE money to mitigate a PUBLIC issue. Isn't that what you GOPers are all about?

    Doesn't matter. Russia is primarily associated with commies within the memory. Tsar is distinctly Russian. In fact, not a great word to use for either side! Hopefully this is the death of it.

    Overall, illegal immigration was not stemmed to most people's liking. Not really sure why you are even bothering to die on this hill. You can mince words all you want or try to spin it around, but the numbers aren't pretty and she is attached to the failure. Honestly, she (and other dems) should be spelling out proactive measures for what she will do instead of trying to defend it.

    I just wanted to use that to highlight how brutal the communists were to the Romanovs. Imagine the world where the White Russians won.
