Here's fascist traitor Trump with Brexiters Farage, Raheem Kassam, and Arron Banks. And here's Raheem Kassam boasting about Russia defeating Ukraine in half a day, and Farage and Arron Banks parroting pro-Russian propaganda lies. Farage is a traitor working for the fascist axis.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

"NATO is not the thing that Russia is afraid of. Russia is afraid of democracy expanding to Russia. Why are we in NATO? Its because we are afraid of Russia.

"This is what is required of Europe today: Commitment, clarity, confidence, planning and strength. This is disparaged as warmongering by Putin's apologists on left and right. In fact it is the opposite. It is the best way to prevent further war."

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Crime is an interesting concept, because if you steal some food or break into an empty home to use it for accomodation you go to jail. But if you steal billions and force millions of hungry people onto the streets, absolutely nothing happens.
