✔️Spread propaganda that Ukraine started the war
✔️Cut off military aid
✔️Block intel sharing
✔️Demean Zelenskyy in the Oval Office
✔️Weaken US alliances with Europe

Who benefits? Putin. Who loses? Us.

For the love of God, why do they even try to lie. They also deny that tRUMP instigated insurrection.

Thank you, Senator. For being a truth teller and my senator. #truthteller

So proud of you for demanding answers from Republicans about Trump being a Russian asset and his obvious support of Putin.

chriscat.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Trump is A de facto Russian Asset. The speculation that IQ47 is a master negotiator & the war would never have occurred under him is as breathtaking as it is nonsensical. Gaslighting America. Don't believe the lies; don't give into the fear.

Cmon get all your comms staffs in a room and start communicating as a network not only as individuals. Same images, same messages, same time. Podcasts, PR, townhalls with groups. We have no reach compared to them. You reach the base and highly engaged. That’s it.

I saw you at the hearing where you were pointing out that there’s no difference between Trump’s actions and what a Putin asset would do. I’ve been saying too. The biggest reveal was when the “Art of the Deal” author sabotaged Zelensky negotiations with Putin at the outset by crapping on him publicly

Of course he desires Greenland. Russian access to our northern sea lanes and borders/Canada. Same with Panama Canal. Give Russians access again. Wants Russia in G7.

hellomuself78.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s been established that dt is a Russian plant back in his last administration. When will everyone say, enough of this treasonous administration and lock them up for the sake of the country? Have the fired fec chair testify if the 31 cases against dt that weren’t investigated affected the outcome.

Anyone denying this would need to provide one example of him doing anything that would not be to Putin's liking. Anything at all. Ever.

Thanks and more please. I would like to have seen a follow up to the comment about Trump being an elite deal maker, something like, ‘is that based on his experience with the Trump casino, Trump steaks, Trump University or Trump crypto currency? Or all of them combined?’

Thanks, Senator, for moving the Russian asset question into the mainstream. Good job at the hearing yesterday. Today it has gotten worse, with US order to UK to not pass any intel to Ukraine if it even has a smidge of USA input. And now Trump wants to deport Ukrainian refugees.
