All Republican Roads Lead to Russia

Trump's end goal is to transform our entire government into an oligarchy working for HIM, *not* the American people. He gets there by lying, hiring loyalists, and sowing chaos, doubt, fear, and hate. Trump is doing Putin's work FOR him.

We're going to be Russia in less than four years. Prepare for a drastic drop in the standard of living.

I don't think food lines are out of the question with all the sabotage that's being done

food insecurity for most Americans is probably just a small price to pay for the wealthy to have space tourism. Earthly problems are beneath them.

Sycophant. By definition he is unable to be impartial. I’m not a smart and savvy elected official, but this seems like 2 + 2 =4

Even though some GOP Senators know Kash Patel is unfit for the job, they'll vote for him anyway. They are spineless cowards afraid of blowback from the Big Don who runs the government like a protection racket.

"A nice family you've got there. It would be a shame if something happened to them."

Their cowardice only extends to their jobs.

charlessumner-rino.bsky.social•25 days ago

we should assume that the GOP senators will have pockets full of reasons as to why that isn’t problematic at all.

it’s probably just one more aspects of that, “Russian Hoax.”

But he's an honest man. Cash aka Kash Patel.

The guy who said the FBI needs to be stripped for parts and is about to have the job where he can do just that, participated in a Russian anti-FBI film last year during an election?
