Imagine having this much disdain for your own voters

As Donald Trump turns the United States into one of the closest allies Russia has worldwide, it's worth revisiting the news item below, which came out immediately after Trump won a surprising victory in November:

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Governor Walz has it right. I miss hearing his plain, common sense talk.

Nobody should be surprised that our Secretary of State is a pathetic, weak, cowardly piece of shit.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Keith sums up how I feel perfectly. Burn in hell, Donald Drumf. www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

There were certainly signs

I want everyone to know that screaming match in the Oval Was all for Russia TV that was there

Trump is an international disgrace. The way he treated Zelensky was un-American. Only a traitor who is Putin's puppet would be this horrible. Unforgivable.

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Negative distortions of terms like Entitlement, Liberal, Bureaucrat, Woke, DEI, Welfare are all examples of Orwellian Doublespeak. Social Security IS an Entitlement because we paid into it and are ENTITLED to the benefits. Fascist tactics to redefine language is pervasive and designed to confuse.

So, Russian Oligarchs, who are funding the brutal, illegal massacre of Ukranian civilians, or Saudis who chop up beloved investigative reporters to send a message, or any global member of the Tyranny of Evil Men could just buy a green card for $5 million? www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Put all the “DEI” folks who got let go onto a new network and I’d watch the shit out of it.

The kernel of our national dilemma and the cyclical downfall of civilizations are still these old, tried & true, ancient nuggets of wisdom that people continue to ignore. 1)The love of money IS the root of ALL evil. 2)Power corrupts & absolute power corrupts absolutely. Until we fix this, we fail!

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

This is the way.

⚡️Australia, New Zealand impose new sanctions against Russia. Australia has introduced the most extensive package of sanctions since the beginning of the all-out war, while New Zealand imposed restrictions on over 50 individuals and entities.

The CIA is conducting a damage assessment to determine potential damage from an unclassified email sent to the White House identifying for possible layoffs some officers by first name and last initial that could have exposed undercover agency roles.

To Gitmo we goooooo 😵‍💫

This truly breaks my 💔 Thank you @joyannreid.bsky.social, I’ll be watching for what’s next. 🙏🏽

After 1,000 National Park Service employees were abruptly fired on February 14, staff banded together to signal “dire distress” by draping an upside-down American flag from the 3,000-foot summit of Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan monolith.

The Revolution will be AI-icized

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

“[W]hosoever in authority exceeds the power given him by the law and makes use of the force he has under his command…ceases in that to be a magistrate; and, acting without authority, may be opposed, as any other man, who by force invades the right of another,” John Locke

If you still have any ?'s about the New York mayor Eric Adams DOJ Scandal, Joyce Vance helps clear up some of the Corruption nuance. www.iheart.com/podcast/867-...

Keith encapsulates the latest Drumf Madness in his latest ramblings. I love how he slips in "Don Krasnov..." like we've known along. Alsoa bit of a rant about how MSNBC isn't yelling "FASCISM" loudly enough &..why was Joy Reid fired? www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

This is indeed brilliant

This should be an inspiration to all American Governors. I give you @jbpritzker.bsky.social's State of the State speech for 2025. It's worth a read. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

Trump’s biggest corruption yet open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

This is horrific to see. And any news organization that resorts to any sort of euphemism to describe this is absolutely failing everyone.

NRA rises up, on the side of the Tyrannical government.
