The amount of corruption is staggering, approaching Russian levels.

Then again, this is "convergence", just unlike what anyone ever imagined in the Cold War.

Hi @democrats.org

All over USA.

Talk to Republican voters.

Visit their districts, listen to them and their fears.

Is their concern about immigration, overshadowing their cost of living, violation of laws, corruption, education, jobs etc ?

Not everybody joined TrumpMusk cult !

Win them over ♡

Isn't striking & ironic to see a bust of Benjamin Franklin in the background there ? Somehow highlights Musk's shamelessness.

would bet a bazillion that muskyballs, pootstain, and mr. blow-yer-own trumpet had a contorted plan that would end up with Nobel peace prize being considered for you-know-who. leaving Ukraine a smoking pile of rubble. creepy-eyes-vance derailed it with his loud mouth. ha !

Twitter was bought w help of 8VC (founded by cofounder of Palantir). 8VC, coincidentally, hires the sons of TWO sanctioned Russian oligarchs.

Putin has ongoing campaign of dividing Western democracies by supporting far right across EU & US ➡️ installed Trump 2016 (according to Pres Carter), fueled Brexit; same anti-immigrant, misogynistic, homophobic, racist, pro-Christian etc propaganda.

Trump is an illegitimate President, according to President Jimmy Carter in 2019, because he was installed with the help of Russia:

Not even Russian oligarhs are this blatant

Oligarchs who tried this kind of thing usually ended up being dead soon after.

There’s not much loyalty amongst thieves.

Staggering corruption in US should disqualify US from sharing security info with previous allies. If Ukraine considered too corrupt to join NATO, shouldn't even higher levels of corruption in the new version of US disqualify US from NATO? Can't be trusted.

One rule for one set of people another for in club cabal. I have to keep reminding myself: Musk BRIBED VOTERS IN SWING STATES: both Trump & electoral system allowed it. Should be illegal. Now Republican leaders in those states can't be sure as to what extent their "support" reflects greed only...

Is it time to eat the rich yet. Or if not, at least tax them into submission before we all become their actual slaves.
