These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

Donald Trump lies about everything. Everything. And I stopped a long time ago saying shame on Trump for lying all the time. I now say shame on his supporters. Shame on his supporters for allowing themselves to be lied to repeatedly by Trump. Trump’s lying is on them, not him.

Trump and Musk have market sharks’ views of the US—they have no interest in our long term fate. They just want to suck out whatever value they can before they take their profits and move on. They’re corporate raiders doing a hostile takeover and selling the assets off bit by bit.

Too polite. Trump is lying to support Putin and the Kremlin over the interests of the US, our allies and Ukraine. American foreign policy has flipped. We’re anti-NATO, anti-rule of law, pro-war crimes, pro-aggression now. Not an overstatement. It’s the biggest foreign policy betrayal in our history
