It's not enough to just admit the obvious. The time for that was 2016. We are witnessing, in realtime, what it looks like when a Putin puppet is POTUS. Hit "find/replace," swap out "the Kremlin" for "Trump and Musk," and behave accordingly. h/t @samspade1941.bsky.social - ThreadSky

THE MEDIA SHOULD BE SCREAMING THIS. STARTING WITH THE NYeT... WHAT WILL IT TAKE? Does Vladimir Putin have to force USA to launch a NUKE to WAKE Everyone TF UP?

I remember those days when we thought our votes counted.

This is the way. America is in a fight for independence again. Only this time, we seek independence from Russia.
