Trump claiming a President should have Absolute Immunity to do anything he wants, including having an opponent murdered is more proof he’s an insane, lawless, wannabe dictator

Former military officials challenge Trump’s immunity claim

Retired Adm. Thad Allen, one of 19 former military officials challenging Donald Trump’s immunity claim, says it would be a risk to national security if presidents are not held to a legal standard.

Republican National Committee asking applicants whether they believe the 2020 election was stolen

The RNC is demanding all potential 2025 Trump Administration staff agree that the 2020 Election was STOLEN in order to be hired. This just goes to show what despicable, lawless, unprincipled people MAGA Republicans are and how unfit they are to hold ANY position in Government.

Trump RNC’s question for new hires: Was the 2020 election stolen?

In the wake of the Trump takeover of the RNC, the Washington Post reports job applicants have been asked if they believe the 2020 election was stolen, as a “litmus test” for hiring. “The Republican National Committee, apparently, does not live in reality,” says Chris Hayes.

Trump is accused of Falsifying Business Records and covering up a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, claiming it was for reimbursement of legal fees. Trump allegedly had his former fixer Michael Cohen pay Daniels, while Trump reimbursed Cohen in 2017 and reported the reimbursement as legal fees.

Trump is constantly pretending to be the victim and claiming “he did nothing wrong” in this case and others, which total 91 criminal charges. Trump has no humility, never admits he makes a mistake, never admits he’s wrong, never apologies, never admits defeat and never takes responsibility for anything which goes wrong, but is quick to take credit for other people’s work and success.

Trump & his defenders complaints ignores the high standard of evidence needed to bring criminal charges, and doesn’t refute the allegations.

Trump has consistently characterized the case, as he has with all the criminal charges against him, as a political witch hunt by Democrats to undermine a political rival. Claims that Biden directed charges to brought against Trump in this case and all others are LIES. He calls these prosecutions “Election Interference” and an attempt to derail his campaign. This trial and others is about holding Trump accountable, which most of his life, he’s escaped accountability. This is why he’s been called “Teflon Don”.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records. Prosecutors allege Trump fudged his business records to cover up criminal activity, including trying to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election.

Falsifying Business Records in the Second Degree (Class A Misdemeanor)
N.Y. Penal Law § 175.05: This statute makes it unlawful to intentionally:

• make a false business record;
• cause a false business record to be made;
• alter or erase a truthful entry in a business record;
• omit a truthful statement from a business record; or
• prevent a truthful statement from being made.

Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree (Class E Felony)
N.Y. Penal Law § 175.10: Falsifying business records in the first degree has all of the same requirements as falsifying a business record in the second degree. However, first degree charges requires intent to defraud through the commission of an additional crime–like using your false business record to carry out tax fraud.

Falsifying business records involves intentionally creating, altering, or destroying documents related to a business or organization. This can include financial records, invoices, contracts, inventory reports, or any other official documentation. The purpose behind falsification can vary, but it often aims to misrepresent financial health, hide illegal activities, or gain an advantage such as tax evasion.

On 26 October 2016, 11 days before election day, Michael Cohen initiated a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, an adult film star who said she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. While prosecutors have identified two other hush-money payments to people who said they had stories about Trump, one a former Trump Tower doorman and the other Karen McDougal a former Playboy model, the actual charges for the case stem just from Daniels’ payments. That’s because the other hush-money payments were made by American Media, the parent company of the tabloid National Enquirer. Leaders of the company, especially the then CEO, David Pecker, were close allies of Trump and told him early in his campaign that they would help him with any scandalous stories that might come out about him.

But Trump paid Daniels himself, albeit through Cohen. Each of the 34 counts of falsifying business records represents a document that prosecutors said included hush-money payments masked as legal fees to Cohen.

Michael Cohen secret recording of conversation with Trump

Trump has tried to claim he’s being unfairly prosecuted for “Business Records”.  Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen released a secret recording of him and Trump from 2016, in which they discuss “Hush Money” payments to model Karen McDougal, who alleges she had an affair with Mr. Trump in 2006.

When you hear Michael Cohen state in the recording; “I need to set up a company for the transfer of all of that info regarding our friend David”… experts say “David” is David Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquire who was involved in a “catch & kill” scheme to buy scandalous stories about Trump and make sure they were never published to the public. This is an example of how Trump had many “protectors” who were complicit in getting Trump elected President and making sure the public never found out about Trump’s scandalous conduct.

Even now, Trump has protectors and accomplices such as FOX’s Sean Hannity who like David Pecker, has been buddies with Trump for years. FOX pundits lies to their viewers by “omission of the facts”, making sure FOX’s viewers are kept in the dark about the damage Trump & Republicans are doing to our country.  This is all part of Right Wing Media’s scheme to brainwash their viewers into only watching and trust their networks so they continuing voting for Republicans… who are bought and paid for by the rich and does nothing for average Joe Americans.

Trump has been charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records after a Manhattan grand jury voted to indict him for his alleged role in arranging a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

In a fundraising appeal, Trump posted this message:  “ON MONDAY ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!” the email said. “BIDEN AND HIS ALLIES WANT ME LOCKED AWAY IN PRISON! RABID DEMOCRATS ARE POISED TO RAISE MILLIONS WHILE I’M STUCK DEFENDING MYSELF IN COURT!”  (BTW, all hell didn’t break loose… hardly any protestors showed up)

Trump Lies About Non-existent Protesters

After The New York Times published a story that said Trump was unhappy with the meager crowd he saw when he arrived at the courthouse for opening statements on Monday, On April 24, 2024 , Trump got caught in one of his biggest lies yet by falsely claiming police turned away ‘thousands’ from Manhattan courthouse and that supporters ‘can’t get near’ and wrote on social media on Monday that “Lower Manhattan surrounding the Courthouse was completely CLOSED DOWN.” And he told reporters inside the courthouse on Tuesday: “For blocks you can’t get near this courthouse.”

This is more proof of what a Narcissistic Psychopathic Nutcase Trump is who is either one of the biggest liars in American History or he’s so delusional that he believes his own bullshit. And it’s more proof that Trump is totally unfit to hold ANY position in Public Office, let alone President of the United States.

This is about cheating, this is about lying to the voters

Susanne Craig, New York Times Investigative Reporter, Tim O’Brien, Senior Executive Editor at Bloomberg Opinion, and Harry Litman, former U.S. Attorney join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House to describe the implication of an ex-President going on criminal trial and what to expect when and if he chooses to take the stand and testify under oath, without the ability to unleash his usual parade of lies.

Trump used National Enquirer to smear his opponents, court testimony confirms

Trump used his relationship with then-publisher of the National Enquirer, David Pecker, to manufacture negative stories about his political opponents when they were performing too well against him during the 2016 campaign, and explains why showing the National Enquirer to be motivated solely by helping Trump’s campaign is key to Trump’s prosecution in his New York criminal trial.

Ex-National Enquirer Publisher Testifies in Trump Case

Former Playboy model Karen McDougal is back in the spotlight due to Donald Trump’s New York hush money trial. David Pecker, former publisher of the National Enquirer, testified that he paid McDougal $150,000 for her story. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments on whether Trump should have immunity from prosecution for the Jan. 6 riots. Inside Edition’s Ann Mercogliano has more.

Trump was born into a rich family of privilege and has managed to evade consequences for his outrageous and despicable conduct his entire life

There is one piece of evidence that was disclosed more than a year ago in the Statement of Facts that accompanied the Indictment that will make Donald Trump the most unpopular person in the entire courtroom. In fact, this one piece of evidence could very well lead the jury to convict Trump in a New York minute.

National Enquirer Helped Elect Trump

Trump’s Cozy Relationship with National Enquirer

Rachel Maddow reports on the outlandish stories the National Enquirer printed leading up to the 2016 election to SMEAR Hillary Clinton to their low information readers, then after she was defeated, the National Enquirer printed stories complimentary to Trump.

Above are just a few of the articles the National Enquirer pumped out to help Trump. The type of mindless people who buys tabloids like the National Enquirer & believes the stories they print are the same type of people who were stupid enough to vote for Trump & support him.

According to stats at americanmediainc.com/brands/national-enquirer, the National Enquirer has a weekly audience of 6,965,000 which is easily enough to help influence the outcome of an election.

The National Enquirer helped get Donald Trump elected President by posting articles complimentary to him and smearing his opponents.

Articles like the one above, claiming “Hillary is going to Jail!” and Corrupt, Racist, Criminal!” were seen seen by millions of people as they went through check-out lines in stores, painting a very negative image of Hillary in the minds of millions of people.

Decades-Old Housing Discrimination Case Plagues Donald Trump

In the 1970s, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Donald Trump, his father and Trump Management, alleging the Trumps engaged in racial discrimination at their properties.

The claim that Hillary is a Racist was a total lie. Hillary was always an advocate & defender of minorities… the same cannot be said for Trump. Apparently Trump was pissed off that people were calling him a Racist, so he retaliated by calling Hillary a Racist, then the National Enquirer printed the “Corrupt, Racist, Criminal” edition to help Trump.

Throughout Trump’s campaign, Trump and his supporters followed in the footsteps of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels by accusing opponents of that of which Trump was guilty.

Trump’s Hush Money Payment Came Right Before Election

Tracing Publisher of the National Enquirer, David Pecker’s Connection to Trump

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/06/01/national-enquirer-owner-trump-campaign-491557

Per the above article:

National Enquirer owner pays $187,500 for aiding Trump campaign in hush money deal. The firm that owns the National Enquirer has agreed to pay $187,500 to the Federal Election Commission to settle complaints that it unlawfully aided Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016 by suppressing the story of an actress who said she had a sexual relationship with Trump.

The FEC concluded that American Media Inc., now known as A360 Media LLC, made an illegal corporate contribution to Trump’s campaign by paying Karen McDougal $150,000 to give up the rights to her story about Trump.

AMI and its former chief, David Pecker, initially argued through attorneys that they acted as journalists in making the deal with McDougal. However, in 2018 the firm and Pecker entered into a non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors in New York, stipulating that the arrangement was intended to influence the 2016 presidential election.

Trump Consulted On National Enquirer Stories To Smear His Political Opponents

Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to Donald Trump, talks with Rachel Maddow about the stories in his new book, “Disloyal,” including how Donald Trump was looped in on stories run in the National Enquirer to hurt his political opponents.

When Ted Cruz threaten Trump as the GOP front-runner, the Enquirer published a cover story on Cruz headlined “Ted Cruz’s Father Linked to JFK Assassination”

A Wall Street Journal article titled “National Enquirer Shielded Donald Trump From Playboy Model’s Affair Allegation” and claimed in the article that the Enquirer “agreed to pay $150,000 to a former Playboy centerfold model for her story of an affair but then didn’t publish it”

Articles by the National Enquirer about Trump were always Pro-Trump, with no mention about how Trump lies with impunity, his failed businesses, bragging about grabbing women by the pussy or anything negative about him.

The National Enquirer did everything possible to help Trump get elected.

David Pecker, the publisher of the National Enquirer has been granted immunity in the Cohen probe. Chris Jansing explains what Pecker’s cooperation means for President Trump.

National Enquirer publisher fined $187,500 for helping Trump campaign

The owner of the tabloid National Enquirer was fined $187,000 for illegal payments it made to kill a damaging story against Donald Trump in 2016.

Per the above article; “The Federal Election Commission fined the publisher of the National Enquirer $187,000 for payments the tabloid made to hide a story about former President Donald Trump’s ex-mistress while letting Trump and his campaign officials skirt any penalties.

The FEC reached a settlement with the publisher after a complaint from the watchdog group Common Cause, which released the details of the agency’s settlement. The FEC similarly recently declined to bring charges against Trump for directing payments of $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels, who claims she had sex with Trump.

In 2018, the owner of A360 Media LLC, then known as American Media Inc., admitted to paying $150,000 to former Playboy model Karen McDougal for exclusive rights to scandalous information about Trump. It was also later found that Trump had attended meetings with the tabloid owner prior to the media group intervening in the story.

Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer, pleaded guilty to counts of campaign finance violations related to payments of the two women in 2018. Trump denies having relations with either woman”.

Trump Hush Money to Stormy Daniels Campaign Finance Violation

The above video explains how personal attorney / fixer Michael Cohen paid “hush money” to porn star Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 Presidential Election on Trump’s behalf which NY prosecutors claim is a Campaign Finance Violation. Fixer Michael Cohen served over 1 year in prison for being a co-conspirator for this offense.

This has nothing to do with Politics. This is about violating Campaign Finance laws.

Trump could be indicted under New Your State Law for a hush money payment Cohen arranged to porn actress Stormy Daniels on Trump’s behalf days before the 2016 presidential election.

The New York hush-money probe of Donald Trump explained

More than six years after Donald Trump’s lawyer paid off a porn star, New York prosecutors appear to be close to deciding whether the former president should face charges in connection with that payoff.

Per the above article: “In the final weeks of the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump’s lawyer tried to buy the silence of a porn actress who said she had a sexual encounter with the Republican during his days as a reality TV star. More than six years later, New York prosecutors appear to be close to deciding whether Trump should face charges in connection with that payoff, in what could become the first criminal case ever brought against a former president”.

The investigation centers on hush-money payments made in 2016 to two women who alleged that they had extramarital encounters with Trump, who has denied their accounts of his infidelity.

HOW WERE THE PAYMENTS MADE?

Cohen paid porn actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 through a shell company Cohen set up. He was then reimbursed by Trump, whose company logged the reimbursements as legal expenses.

Earlier in 2016, Cohen also arranged for former Playboy model Karen McDougal to be paid $150,000 by the publisher of the supermarket tabloid the National Enquirer, which squelched her story in a journalistically dubious practice known as “catch-and-kill.”

Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, “grossed up” Cohen’s reimbursement for the Daniels payment for “tax purposes,” according to federal prosecutors who filed criminal charges against the lawyer in connection with the payments in 2018″.

McCarthy & Jordan attempt to shut down NY DA Alvin Bragg’s criminal investigation of Donald Trump.

In a dramatic and transparent abuse of power, Representatives Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan and others attempt to interfere in New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s criminal investigation of Donald Trump. This represents a gross abuse of congressional power, a potential violation of the 10th Amendment (as this is NOT a power delegated to the federal government), and it may also constitute the crime of obstruction of justice. But we can expect more of this abuse of power by McCarthy and company if law enforcement authorities decline to hold McCarthy and Jordan accountable for these abuses.

Trump promoted a video featuring an extreme close-up photo of his face in black and white, and audio of him making an obvious threat: “If you f— around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.”

Trump posts disturbing baseball bat photo with Alvin Bragg, threatens ‘death and destruction’

Former President Donald Trump has sparked outrage by sharing images of him holding a baseball bat next Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s head.

March 24, 2023: Trump threatened “death and destruction” if he’s criminally charged in New York — writing the shocking social media warning after posting an image of himself holding a baseball bat next to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s head. Trump shared the image of himself holding a baseball bat — with Bragg’s hands up — on his Truth Social platform Thursday as he devoted his day to attacking the prosecutor for pursuing a case over a “hush money” payout to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump prooves he’s a LAWLESS THUG who should be ARRESTED and LOCKED UP for making threats: “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” & “If you f— around with us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before & threatening “death and destruction” if he’s criminally charged for his crimes in New York.

This is how MOB BOSSES and CRIMINALS behave and is more proof that Trump is the Most Lawless, Corrupt & Dangerous President in History

Trump Threatens NY DA Alvin Bragg in violation of NY state law

Former President Donald Trump threatened New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as Bragg investigates and prepares to indict Trump for his earlier New York crimes.

Then, Trump commits a second crime by posting a picture of himself, holding a baseball bat, mid-swing, next to a picture DA Bragg whose hand is upraised as if in a defensive posture., who

This conduct by Trump violates New York penal law section 195.05, obstructing governmental administration in the second degree: “a person is guilty of obstructing governmental administration in the second degree when that person intentionally . . . attempts to prevent a public servant from performing an official function, by means of intimidation or interference . . . ”

When the NY grand jury reconvenes on Monday, they should be presented this evidence of Trump’s threats and add two additional charges to the indictment of Donald Trump – one for the “death and destruction” post and one for the baseball bat post.

Renowned Psychologist : Like Hitler, Trump suffers from Sadism, Malignant Narcissism & Paranoia

Per the above article: “Renowned Psychologist Dr. John Gartner, who specializes in borderline personality disorder, biopolar disorder, and depression stated; Trump has the most dangerous form of mental illness that you can find in a leader… Malignant Narcissism”.

“Gartner stated that Malignant narcissism is a combination of 4 traits, which includes narcissism, paranoia, antisocial personality disorder (the psychology of a criminal and someone who routinely lies) and sadism”.

“The sadist aspects of Trump’s apparent mental illness, according is Gartner, means that “he is driven and gets intense pleasure from harming, humiliating, and degrading other people.”

“He has actually gotten intense pleasure from [other people’s] pain. He is reveling in the chaos and the destruction he is causing,” Gartner explained. “The more he feels threatened by the Mueller investigation, the more he needs to experience the exaltation of feeling drunk with power, through his ability to harm and humiliate and degrade other people.”

“While Gartner stopped short of saying that Trump is the next incarnation of Hitler, he did emphasize the importance of looking back at history as a means to try and prevent the catastrophes of the past from happening yet again”.

In speaking of Trump, Gartner did not imply that Trump would follow in the path of Hitler, but he did underscore his belief that “these are the kind of people who really can commit genocide,” when comparing the two men.

“I’m not saying he’s Hitler. I’m saying he has the same psychology. He’s of the same type, cut from the same cloth…. He is someone, who if given the chance, would enact that same kind of destructive agenda.”

Gartner accentuated his observations that Trump is demonizing immigrants similarly to how Hitler demonized the Jews”.

According to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) have at least five of the symptoms listed below;

• Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment by others
• Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
• Self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with high-status people and institutions
• Needing constant admiration from others
• Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
• Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain
• Unwilling to empathize with others’ feelings, wishes, or needs
• Intensely jealous of others and the belief that others are equally jealous of them
• Pompous and arrogant demeanor.

Normal People Doesn’t Behave Like This

Dr. John Gartner stated; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump,” Gartner began. “He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies. And this is someone who is handling the nuclear codes.”

Former Professor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Lance Dodes suggested; “He lies in the way anybody who scams people does. He’s tried to sell an idea or a product by telling you something that is untrue. There is also the kind of lie he has that in a way is more serious — that he has a loose grip on reality. We can say that because he lies about things that aren’t that important. I think what that indicates is that he can’t stand an aspect of reality that he doesn’t want, so he rejects it,” Dodes continued. “His grasp of reality, his attention to reality is loose. This is an extremely dangerous trait in a president. It actually makes him unqualified.”

Even ex-Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan referred to Trump as an ‘Authoritarian Narcissist’. No normal person would lie with impunity like Trump has (over 30,000 times while President), refuse to admit he lost the election, claim he won after he lost, then instigate a coup and insurrection to overturn the election after he lost.

Psychiatrist Warns Trump Has Become More ‘Psychotic’ As Trials Get Closer

Per the article referenced in the above video at; salon.com/2024/02/02/either-malpractice-or-criminal-dr-justin-frank-on-power-and

“Donald Trump has repeatedly shown that he is a lawless person — but his malign influence extends far beyond himself.

We are a society more divided than united. Many of us are anti-intellectual and don’t want to think. That makes such people attracted to strongmen and bullies like Trump. Trump has made his followers reject the truth for alternate facts – and that makes most of us insecure and uncertain about what to believe.

Trump’s “dangerous charisma” attracts already corrupt and ethically compromised people into his orbit. He also exerts a malignant perfidious influence over people who are vulnerable to such energy and temptations, but for whatever reason have not yet fully surrendered to them. This is a defining feature of dangerous leaders.

Dr. Frank continues to warn about Trump’s extremely dangerous mind and overall pattern of behavior and why as seen with the second E. Jean Carroll court case for defamation, and escalating threats of violence and retribution against his “enemies”, that the corrupt ex-president will not be stopped by “the walls closing in.” Instead, Dr. Frank predicts that Trump is a malignant narcissist who will go down in a blaze of glory before he ever surrenders or is otherwise made to yield in his assaults on society, human decency, and the rule of law.

From the time Trump was five years old, he hated rules and couldn’t control himself. If Trump didn’t like something, he would convert feelings into immediate action. He threw rocks at a toddler who lived next door when he was five. He punched out his second-grade teacher because he got mad at him. As a father, Trump knocked out his son, Don Jr., when he was in high school because he wasn’t dressed appropriately. Trump has always been like this. As people age, they generally do not change; they instead become more of their true selves. His capacity for self-restraint is becoming a thinner veneer over fundamental destructiveness. He is increasingly no longer able to fake it. This is why Trump is in court acting out, mumbling, being angry and disruptive.

In my opinion, Donald Trump is a “segmental thinker”. He lives in the moment and is attracted by a shiny object and forgets everything else.

The main thing that I am worried about is the complacency of the public and specifically the country’s leaders and law enforcement and other people in positions of authority and power who are still letting Trump run wild. Trump is extremely dangerous. Trump does not believe in laws and rules. He wants to be a lawless dictator. This is why I continue to share my conclusion, based on the evidence, that Donald Trump appears to be psychotic. He is a person who is detached from reality. Even with the trials and other pressures, Trump is not capable of breaking down, of being cowed and/or broken. If anything, Trump will go down in flames if he goes down at all. Trump is an extreme narcissist who will destroy anyone who has ever done anything to hurt him, to oppose him, or defy him.

Dozens Of Mental Health Professionals Sign Letter Declaring Trump Has Dementia

As Trump’s mental decline becomes even more pronounced, a petition has begun circulating online asking mental health professionals to sign on and declare that Trump does, in fact, seem to be suffering from dementia. Dozens of professionals in the mental health field have already signed onto the petition, but they are technically not able to give a real diagnosis without examining him in person.

Radical Right Wing Supreme Court “Justices” Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito are citing the Comstock Act of 1873 impose a nationwide ban on abortion medication.

The Comstock Act of 1873, is a relic statute from a bygone era regulating public morality, which hasn’t been enforced since the 1930s, says Sen. Smith. ‘It’s rooted in the Victorian era idea that the government should be the morality police.’

Arizona’s 1864 abortion ban is the kind of ‘history and tradition’ that Samuel Alito and the Radical Right Wing Supreme Court have brought to the 21st

“William Claude Jones spent his life wielding his power over women and over girls and their bodies with complete tyrannical domination,” says Chris Hayes on the man behind the Arizona abortion ban. “And that is exactly the kind of ‘history and tradition’ that Samuel Alito and the Supreme Court have brought back to the 21st century.”

The United States Supreme Court is a Illegitimate Kangaroo Court because 5 of the Justices, were appointed by Republicans Presidents who were not elected to office by the majority of Americans. These partisan ideologues “Justices” were selected solely because they were expected to rule against key issues such as “Roe Venus Wade” which Republicans wanted stricken down.

This Incompetent & Illegitimate Supreme Court has in recent years made horrible decisions such as “Bush Versus Gore” stopping the vote count & handing the 2000 election to Bush on a silver platter, “Citizens United”, striking down key provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, “Roe Venus Wade” overturning the right for women to have an abortion and failing to strike down the Texas “Heartbeat” Law which bans abortions in Texas and turns Anti-Abortion Zealots into Bounty Hunters.

Two (2) “Justices” were installed by George W. Bush who LOST the 2000 election by 543,895 votes and Three (3) “Justices” were installed by Donald Trump who LOST by 2.8 Million votes.

Trump’s 1st Supreme Court Nominee, Neil Gorsuch is a illegitimate “Justice” who obtained his seat by theft from Obama’s Nominee, Merrick Garland

Advise & Consent Clause of the Constitution Violated by Mitch McConnell & Republicans

Obama was President when Antonin Scalia died. Obama chose Merrick Garland as Scalia’s replacement but Republicans violated their constitutional duty by refusing to provide “Advise & Consent” and held Scalia’s seat open for almost a year, blocking President Obama’s pick Merrick Garland. This was an outrageous and despicable power grab by Mitch McConnell & Republicans.

When Trump became President, he appointed Neil Gorsuch, who obtained his seat by theft, due to Republicans blocking Obama’s nominee, so Gorsuch is without question, an illegitimate “Justice”. Gorsuch seat rightly belongs to Merrick Garland.

Ex-Federal Prosecutor Glenn Kushner explains how when Mitch McConnell & Republicans refused to provide Advise & Consent to President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Obama should have told Merrick Garland to take his seat in the Supreme Court.

Since Mitch McConnell & Republicans refused to provide Advise & Consent, any legal challenges would have likely failed, so the Supreme Court today would be 5 to 4 Radical Right Wingers instead of 6 – 3.

Republicans have hijacked the highest court in the land. First, they stole a Supreme Court seat from President Obama. Then, they changed a 70-year old rule to install two of Donald Trump’s far-right justices and confirmed Brett Kavanaugh despite credible allegations that he committed sexual assault and lied under oath.

Now, the politicized Supreme Court is enacting a far-right, partisan agenda that favors corporate interests and Republican Party special interests. Reproductive freedom, civil rights, environmental justice, common sense gun safety laws, and our right to vote are all at risk. And the Court has eroded confidence in our system of government with ethical lapses and lack of transparency.

‘Politicians in Robes’: How the right-wing Supreme Court is mounting a power grab

Supreme Court Justices should be appointed by Presidents who were elected to office by the majority of Americans so their viewpoints reflects the majority. That has NOT been the case due to the Electoral College, which made Republicans Bush & Trump President (who received less votes than their opponent)… and the Senate, which doesn’t represent the majority.

Supreme Court Faces Credibility Crisis As Anti-Abortion Justices Set To Fulfill Purpose

Rachel Maddow explains why the anti-abortion justices on the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade would confirm what many people already think about the court being compromised by politics, and highlights the more liberal justices cautioning their colleagues who appear poised to fulfill the reason Republicans nominated them to the court.

The roots of America’s democracy problem

The Senate Is Rigged for Republicans

The Senate does not represent the Majority and is rigged for Republicans because Red States like Wyoming which has a small population get as much say a California or New York, with huge populations.

According to 2018 Census Bureau estimates, more than half of the US population lives in just nine states. That means that much of the nation is represented by only 18 senators. Less than half of the population controls about 82 percent of the Senate.

This UNEQUAL Representation is another reason why the United States Ranks 25th as a “Flawed Democracy”.

Samuel Alito Quotes 1600s to Justify Outlawing Abortions

Samuel Alito reaches back to legal writings in 17th century England to show that the right to abortion services is not deeply rooted in our history. He cites Sir Edward Cook, writing in 1644 that abortion is a crime.

In the draft Supreme Court opinion that will live in infamy, Samuel Alito says, on page one, the Constitution makes no mention of abortion. The Constitution, also, makes no mention of the right to travel. The government has never granted us the right to travel. Yet, we have always had it.

Roe versus Wade links the right to abortion services, to the right to privacy, which we, also, assumed that we have, but the Constitution does not mention a right to privacy, and Samuel Alito, and the majority of the Supreme Court, don`t believe that you have a right to privacy. They believe that they have a right to privacy. It was the first time, in its history, has ordered an investigation of the very worst thing that has ever happened to the Supreme Court. The court`s privacy has been invaded.

The chief justice calls the violation of the court`s privacy, quote, egregious breach of trust. And that`s how the Supreme Court feels when they lose their privacy, it`s egregious for them. But they don`t care how you feel when they take your privacy away. The private deliberations of the Supreme Court have been invaded by the leak of the Alito first draft of the revocation of a constitutional right. Samuel Alito says that a right to abortion services is not, quote, deeply rooted in this nation`s history.

Women on the Supreme Court are not deeply rooted in this nation`s history. Nowhere does the Constitution say that women can serve on the Supreme Court. Nowhere does the constitution say that Black people can serve on the Supreme Court.

The Founders thought only white men should ever serve on the Supreme Court. The Founders were the original proponents of affirmative action exclusively for white men. The Founders deeply and fervently believed in carrying out the mass murder of as many members of the native tribes of this continent and enslaving as many Black people as was necessary for white men to reign supreme in this land. That is deeply rooted in this nation`s history.

If you are using “deeply rooted in this nation`s history” as the basis for what you think is right and just and you are lost. You are morally lost. Samuel Alito reaches back to legal writings in 17th century England to show that the right to abortion services is not deeply rooted in our history. He cites Sir Edward Cook, writing in 1644 that abortion is a crime.

In 1644, in England, they were still having witch trials ending in the execution of the convicted witches, and Sir Edward Cook helped English law define which is when he rewrote English law in 1604 to make it even more cruel in witchcraft trials. He wrote a witch is a person who hath conference with the devil to consult with him or to do some act.

So, Samuel Alito is quoting approvingly the 1644 judgment on abortion of an English aristocrat who said a witch is a person who has conference with the devil. Samuel Alito is reaching back four centuries to use Sir Edward Cook, as a moral authority on abortion, a man who believed in witches and believed they were working with the devil and believed that witches should be murdered by the state and he helped make sure that they were murdered by the state in England.

’17th Century Misogynist’ Cited Multiple Times In Justice Alito’s Draft Opinion

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade cites a virulent 17th century misogynist multiple times. Alito also saying some supporters of “liberal access to abortion” are trying to suppress Black births, among other statements.

A 7 to 2 Supreme Court decision rejected Trump claim of ‘absolute immunity’ from grand jury subpoena for tax returns.

And who felt Trump should be treated like a Dictator and have ‘absolute immunity’?

REPUBLICAN APPOINTED “Justices” Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito

Justices of the Supreme Court should be allowed to serve for a maximum of 12 years. NO ONE should be guaranteed a job for life. Anyone appointed should be non-political and not affiliated with any political party.

The US Supreme Court has proven that it is not “Just”. Proof is how they almost always vote down party lines. This underscores how flawed our justice system is in general.

The US Supreme Court has become nothing more than a tool to force political policies of minority Republicans down the majority of American people’s throats.

We need a Supreme Court that can be trusted to be fair, nonpolitical, and ethical. We need to reform the Supreme Court.

Videos show how Russian propaganda is being repeated and spread by Republicans

Rachel Maddow explains how Russia is using real-looking, fake news sites to introduce propaganda in American discourse by giving fake stories the appearance of legitimate sourcing, fooling some Republicans into resharing false information that they want to believe is true.

GOP Rep. Mike Turner said Sunday that Russian propaganda has taken hold among some of his House Republican colleagues and is even “being uttered on the House floor.” Rep. Turner made his comments while on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Trump and Republicans has been praising Murderous Dictator of Russia Putin for years, which at this very moment is MURDERING innocent people in Ukraine and bombing their cities into rubble… a peaceful country which did nothing to deserve being invaded and attacked by Russia.

Putin has proven himself to be a barbaric war criminal, which Right-Wing Conservative Republicans… Trump, Mike Pompeo, FOX, Tucker Carlson and Right Wing Media praised while disparaging President Joe Biden.

Trump was told that Putin had put bounties on American soldiers to be killed by the Taliban in Afghanistan and he did NOTHING. Any yet, most Republicans are continuing to support and defend this TRAITOR

War And Lies: Trump Republicans Confronted With Past Putin Praise On TV

Many Republican leaders praised Vladimir Putin and misled Americans about the facts of his record as a dictator. This MSNBC report documents some of those claims, featuring them in contrast to recent reporting and footage about Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Putin jailed, poisoned & murdered political opponents, seized oil companies for his own personal monitory gain and interfered in elections around the world. Putin’s atrocities has been well know for years yet Right-Wing “Conservative” Republicans praised and supported him.

This video gives insight into the oppressive laws Republicans has been passing in recent years such as anti-voting laws to rig elections in their favor, anti-abortion, anti-LGBT laws and how Russia shares many of the same anti-democratic ideals and values held by Republicans.

The United States will become as oppressive as Putin’s Russia unless Republicans are STOPPED by Voting them Out of Office.

The Right’s Embrace of Fascism and Authoritarianism

The above video shows the history of how Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort helped Putin Puppet Viktor Yanukovych get elected President of Ukraine, how Republicans changed their Party Platform in 2016 to favor Russia and hurt Ukraine, how Trump helped Putin by destabilizing NATO and why Putin likely didn’t invade Ukraine while Trump was President.

Russian conspiracy about the US is spreading in America

A new conspiracy theory has become popular among some of the online communities that formed around QAnon — one simultaneously being promoted by the Kremlin as a justification for its invasion of Ukraine. The false claim: the United States is developing bioweapons in Ukraine and Vladimir Putin has stepped in to save the day and destroy the weapons. March 10, 2022

Claims Trump was tough on Russia and Putin wouldn’t invade Ukraine if Trump were President are Absurd. Trump kissed Putin’s ass during the entire time his was President.

During a interview with a Newsmax host who tried claiming Trump was tough on Putin, Former National Security Advisor John Bolton pushed back, stating ‘Trump complained sanctions on Russia were too tough” and he “barely knew where Ukraine was”.

Federal Prosecutor Glenn Kirschner: ‘Vladimir Putin Owns Trump’

Right-wingers turned Hungary into a anti-democratic fascist one-party-rule dictatorship. Trump & Republicans have followed the same playbook so it could happen here unless they are STOPPED.

Republicans have passed laws to overturn / override election results in states they control and put partisans in control of counting the votes, allowing them to make sure only Republicans are declared the winner.

Hungary Is a Version of What Republicans Wants For The U.S.

Chief national correspondent at the New York Times, Mark Leibovich, and former FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence, Frank Figliuzzi, react to Fox News’ anchor Tucker Carlson’s bizarre choice to host his show from Hungary, a country with an authoritarian regime.

POLL: Only 36% Of Republicans Support Freedom Of The Press

43% of Republicans think President Trump “should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” while only 36% disagreed with the statement, according to an Ipsos poll

Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator

Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.

Expert Compares Trump’s Politics to Fascism

Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains why he claims President Donald Trump’s politics are akin to fascism, a political movement based around a leader. 80+% of Republicans approve of Trump, even after he has LIED more than any other Politician in history (fact checkers claim over 30,000 false or misleading statements since becoming president).

How Republicans Are Destroying America and Democracy

If you want to see what Republicans want to do to America, look no further than the state of Florida. This solidly-Republican one-party-rule controlled state is passing all sorts of Draconian laws – from abortion bans to voter suppression to white appeasement legislation – and all of these are items that other states will copy if Florida is successful (while others were stolen from other states that have been successful.) But Florida is going downhill faster than any other state, and it gives Americans a clear picture of what Republicans want to do to the entire country.

Trump Loving Florida Governor Makes It LEGAL To Kill Protestors

Under a proposed piece of legislation from Ron DeSantis, the Trump-loving governor of Florida, it would be legal for citizens to run over protestors without any fear of prosecution, as long as the protestor was in the street. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment of the United States, and DeSantis is merely trying to give voters the impression that things are out of control in the state

Similar to Russia and North Korea, Republicans Anti-Protest Laws Violates Freedom of Speech

Similar to how Russia & North Korea stifles Freedom of Speech, Republicans are doing the same in the United States by passing more than 80 Anti-Protest Bills in 34 States they control.

Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize Ron DeSantis

State employees in Florida have been sounding the alarm bells about the quasi-dictatorship that they are working for, with multiple individuals saying that they have been threatened with demotions if they criticize Republican governor Ron DeSantis’s COVID policies. They are living in fear, as one employee put it, and they feel like they have no one to turn to.

Similar to Florida Employees being threatened if they criticize Republican Ron DeSantis or tell the truth about Climate Change when Republican Rick Scott was Governor, during the invasion of Ukraine, Russia passed a law which would put people in prison for up to 15 years for criticizing Putin and Russia’s policies.

Democrats has never engaged in these type of restrictions or violations of Freedom of Speech. This commonality is found in oppressive RIGHT WING governments. It’s easy to see that Republicans are headed in this direction and would not hesitate to be just as extreme if given the opportunity.

Euronews reporter Valerie Gauriat traveled to Hungary for the national Republic Day to hear from supporters and critics of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s hardline stance on immigration—and what it means to be Hungarian.

Former Fox News analyst says Fox has become ‘destructive propaganda machine’

Tucker Carlson’s Patriot Purge “documentary” is a classic example of how Right Wing Media is destroying our country with lies, conspiracy theories and attempting to re-write history.

Calmes: Russia’s crackdown on liberty sounds all too familiar to Americans

Red states like Texas, Missouri and Florida are waging their own culture war in parallel to Putin’s, targeting the rights of women and minorities.

Per the above article; “Russia’s crackdown on liberty sounds all too familiar to Americans We see the ravages of Russia’s war on Ukraine, where it’s as if the black-and-white scenes of carnage and fleeing refugees in World War II Europe — scenes consigned to history books, we thought — have been updated in horrific, real-time color. Vladimir Putin’s heinous war has united the Ukrainian people”.

“Then there’s the coverage of the figurative war here in America, a culture war waged by Republicans against women, minority groups, LGBTQ people, educators, public health officials and just about anyone not of a right-wing mindset. This needless conflict divides us, for Republicans’ political gain”.

“Such domestic battles are a luxury of peace and prosperity. I’m reminded of conservatives’ culture wars amid the good times at the turn of the century, before 9/11 made a mockery of the invented threats and brought Americans together against a real one”.

“Even as Ukrainians suffer bombings of hospitals, a maternity center, apartments and schools, our bloodless war proceeds on its several fronts: Against women’s constitutional right to abortion before a fetus’ viability. Against teachers’ rights to speak freely about race and gender. Against transgender youth and their parents. Against public health officials dealing with a once-a-century pandemic that’s killed nearly a million Americans”.

“On abortion rights, Republican-led states aren’t even waiting for the conservative U.S. Supreme Court to turn back the clock a half-century. They’re rushing either to ban abortions at 15 weeks’ gestation, significantly before a fetus is viable (the latest bill just went to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to sign), or to go further and copy Texas’ plainly unconstitutional law that ended nearly all abortions in that state, home to 7 million women of reproductive age”.

“Texas devilishly wrote its law to avert federal court review, dangling cash bounties to spur citizens to sue anyone who even unknowingly helps a woman who’s more than six weeks pregnant get an abortion. Under the legal threat, clinics ceased most services”.

“Predictably, Texans are traveling elsewhere. At least 5,500 women sought help in six neighboring states in just the first three months after the law took effect in September. Now comes a Republican lawmaker in Missouri, inspired by Texas’ law, who’s concocted a way to stop women in her state from going to Illinois or Kansas to exercise their reproductive rights: Attack women’s freedom to travel, too!”

“The bill, the brainchild of state Rep. Mary Elizabeth Coleman, is now before the Missouri House. It would invite anyone to sue a person who helps a Missourian get an abortion out of state, whether that’s a hotline operator making appointments or a doctor providing the service. It’s another patently unconstitutional gambit, but one that could have a chilling effect if clinics in the neighboring states want to avoid legal battles”.

RFK Jr.’s campaign is being funded by Right Wing Republicans to take votes away from Biden. Every vote for RFK Jr will help Trump get re-elected

Donald Trump and RFK Jr have the same largest donor

GOP mega-donor Timothy Mellon in January gave $5m to Super PACs supporting both the Republican’s and independent’s 2024 campaigns.

Per the above article: “The biggest individual contributions to Donald Trump’s and Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s 2024 presidential Super PACs in January both came from the same longtime Republican mega-donor, according to filings.

Timothy Mellon, heir to the Mellon banking fortune, donated $5 million to the Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. fundraising attempts in January, as well $5 million to a Super PAC supporting the Democrat-turned-independent’s presidential bid the same month, Federal Election Commission (FEC) listings reveal.

Mellon gave American Values a total of $15 million in 2023, according to FEC filings, covering a period when Kennedy Jr. ran as a Democratic and independent presidential candidate. The billionaire was also found to have donated $10 million to the Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. in the second half of last year, making him the largest contributor to both Super PACs.

Reacting to multimillion dollar donations from Mellon, Alex Floyd, rapid response director for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), said in a statement: “Today’s news that Donald Trump’s largest donor has given another $5 million to RFK Jr.’s Super PAC confirms what we already knew: RFK Jr. is a stalking horse for Trump in this election.”

“RFK Jr. powered by MAGA/Trump. Same biggest donor Timothy Mellon,” the billboards read.

Mask slips from RFK Jr. campaign as right-wing policies and Trump-supporting staff come into view

For a candidate described as a liberal by Trump-supporters at Fox News, Robert Kennedy Jr.’s policy positions are remarkably aligned with the right. And key members of his campaign staff are strikingly anti-Biden and pro-Trump, leading many to question the real goal of the RFK Jr. campaign as Donald Trump’s allies are reportedly trying to use his candidacy to their advantage.

This time around, the donor class ‘cannot make the argument that they don’t know what they’re getting into’, says Sheelah Kolhatkar, staff writer at The New Yorker. Faced with the choice of losing some wealth to preserve democracy, many of the ultra-wealthy seem to be leaning towards their personal short-term financial interests. ‘They put up the walls and protect what they’ve hoarded for themselves.’

Trump Gets Even MORE Special Treatment From Georgia Judge

Judge Scott McAfee, the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s RICO trial in Georgia, decided to give Trump even more special judicial treatment this week by agreeing to set a hearing date for Trump’s arguments that the case should be thrown out on First Amendment grounds. That argument itself is laughable, but it is incredibly dangerous that the judge is willing to entertain Trump’s idiotic court filings and further delay justice in this case.

Trump’s claims of “Election Interference” are LIES to deflect from his being held accountable for his many CRIMES of which he has been charged, arrested and will be prosecuted. Note how he’s constantly saying ‘it’s a disgrace to our country’ when he’s held accountable. This is how dictators talk.

‘Completely unacceptable’: Threats against subjects of Trump’s ire revealed in gag order filing

An appeals court considering the gag order in Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial learned about the shocking volume of threats against court staff and others in the wake of Trump’s rants that single them out. Kristy Greenberg, former federal prosecutor, and Josh Gerstein, senior legal affairs writer for Politico, talk with Alex Wagner about what courts can do about the dangers inherent in Trump’s bellicosity.

How Trump Incited Violence for Years

Trump threatening revenge with a extreme close-up photo of his face in black and white, and audio of him making a threat: “If you f— around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.”

Trump posted “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” after he was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury on four counts relating to efforts to overturn the 2020 election leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

After being indicted in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, Trump posted the above photo with a baseball bat aimed at New York Prosecutor Alvin Bragg’s head and threaten “death and destruction”  if he’s criminally charged in New York and held accountable for his crimes — writing the shocking social media warning after posting an image of himself holding a baseball bat next to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s head. Trump shared the image of himself holding a baseball bat — with Bragg’s hands up — on his Truth Social platform as he devoted his day to attacking the prosecutor for pursuing a case over a “hush money” payout to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump PROVES he’s a LAWLESS THUG who should be ARRESTED and LOCKED UP for making threats: “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” & “If you f— around with us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before & threatening “death and destruction” if he’s criminally charged for his crimes in New York.

This is how MOB BOSSES and CRIMINALS behave. If an average Joe made threats like these, they would have been LOCKED UP. The fact that he hasn’t been locked up after repeatedly engaging in such outrageous behavior is more proof of his receiving SPECIAL TREATMENT.

Trump is a hateful vindictive bully, pathological liar who has no humility, never admits he’s wrong, never apologizes & the most UN-Presidential behavior in history. This video shows how Trump has managed to evade consequences and has been given preferential treatment during his entire life.

There’s a reason Trump cozies up to Putin. Putin helped Trump win his first term, and now Trump owes him. It was never about ‘America First’, it’s always been about satisfying the dictator he’s indebted to.

37 times Trump was soft on Russia | CNN Politics

President Donald Trump has an Achilles’ heel when it comes to Russia. Over the years, he’s made no secret that he has a soft spot for the country and its authoritarian leader, President Vladimir Putin. Here’s a breakdown of 37 occasions when Trump was soft on Russia or gave Putin a boost.

As stated in the above article;

Trump has repeatedly praised Putin
While he was a private citizen, during his 2016 campaign and throughout his presidency, Trump has showered Putin with praise. He said Putin was “so nice,” he called Putin a “strong leader” and said Putin has done “a really great job outsmarting our country.” Trump also claimed he’d “get along very well” with Putin. Few, if any, Western leaders have echoed these comments.

Trump hired Manafort to run his campaign
Trump raised eyebrows in spring 2016 when he hired GOP operative Paul Manafort to run his presidential campaign. Manafort spent a decade working for pro-Russian politicians and parties in Ukraine and cultivated close relationships with Putin-friendly oligarchs. Manafort is currently in prison for, among other things, evading taxes on the $60 million he made from his Ukraine consulting.

Trump suggested Russia can keep Crimea
Trump said Putin did “an amazing job of taking the mantle” when Russia annexed Crimea in 2014. During the presidential campaign, Trump broke with US policy and suggested he was OK if Russia kept the Ukrainian territory. He repeated a Kremlin talking point, saying, “The people of Crimea, from what I’ve heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were.”

Trump aides softened GOP platform on Ukraine
Ahead of the 2016 Republican National Convention, Trump campaign aides blocked language from the party platform that called for the US government to send lethal weapons to Ukraine for its war against Russian proxies. Mueller investigated this for potential collusion but determined the change was not made “at the behest” of Russia. (The Trump administration ultimately gave lethal arms and anti-tank weapons to the Ukrainian military.)

Trump made light of Russian hacking
Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump cast doubt on the US government assessment that Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman. At a news conference in July 2016, he even asked Russia to hack more, saying, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,”

Trump denied that Russia interfered in 2016
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Justice Department and the Senate Intelligence Committee all confirmed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump. But Trump has repeatedly rejected this view, and publicly sided with Putin at the Helsinki summit in 2018, saying he accepted Putin’s denials.

Trump transition undermined Russian sanctions
After the election, the Trump transition team asked Russia not to retaliate against new US sanctions imposed by then-President Barack Obama. The sanctions were meant to punish Russia for interfering in the election, but then-Trump aide Michael Flynn asked the Russian ambassador not to escalate the situation so they could have a good relationship once Trump took over.

Trump was open to lifting Russian sanctions
Days before his inauguration, Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he was open to lifting sanctions on Russia. He said: “If you get along and if Russia is really helping us, why would anybody have sanctions if somebody’s doing some really great things?” Putin has tried for years to persuade the US and European countries to end crippling sanctions on Russia’s economy.

Trump refused to say Putin is a killer
Bucking other US leaders, Trump has dismissed credible allegations that Putin uses violence against his opponents. Trump said in 2015, “I think it would be despicable if that took place, but I haven’t seen any evidence that he killed anybody, in terms of reporters.” Asked again in February 2017, Trump deflected, saying, “There are a lot of killers. Do you think our country is so innocent?”

Trump mulled giving spy compounds to Russia
The Washington Post reported in May 2017 that the Trump administration considered returning two diplomatic compounds to Russia. The Obama administration expelled Russian diplomats and seized the compounds in New York and Maryland after the 2016 election, claiming they were used for “intelligence” purposes. The compounds were never returned to Russia.

Trump gave Russia classified intelligence
In a shocking move during the early months of his presidency, Trump shared highly classified intelligence with two senior Russian officials during an Oval Office meeting in May 2017. The intelligence, which was about ISIS, was sensitive enough that it could have exposed a vulnerable source. The unplanned disclosure by Trump rattled even many of his Republican allies.

Trump was reluctant to sign Russian sanctions
Lawmakers passed a bipartisan bill in July 2017 imposing new sanctions against Russia, even though Trump administration officials reportedly tried to water down the language. Trump reluctantly signed the bill, but said the new law contained “clearly unconstitutional provisions.” Trump had little choice in the matter because the bill had passed with veto-proof majorities. (The Treasury Department followed up with several rounds of hard-hitting sanctions.)

Trump thanked Putin for expelling US diplomats
Trump thanked Putin for expelling hundreds of US diplomats from Russia in August 2017, saying, “I want to thank him because we’re trying to cut down our payroll.” Putin kicked out the officials to retaliate for US sanctions. Trump’s view conflicted with the State Department, which said the mass expulsion was “uncalled for.” (Trump later said he was being sarcastic.)

Trump criticized and alienated NATO allies
Trump has repeatedly attacked NATO, aligning himself with Putin, who wants to weaken the alliance. Trump said NATO was “obsolete,” rattling European leaders. At his first NATO summit, Trump scolded other countries for not spending enough on defense and declined to commit to NATO’s mutual defense pledge. (Trump later said he supported the mutual defense provision.)

Trump eased sanctions on Deripaska
In January 2019, the Trump administration lifted sanctions on three Russian companies tied to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin. The Treasury Department had sanctioned Deripaska and the companies over his support for Russian interference in the 2016 election. In a bipartisan rebuke, 11 Senate Republicans supported a Democratic resolution calling for the sanctions to remain.

Trump congratulated Putin on his sham election
Ignoring the advice of several top national security aides, Trump congratulated Putin on his March 2018 reelection victory. Putin got 77% of the vote, but Western observers declared that the election “lacked genuine competition” and took place in an “overly controlled legal and political environment.” Trump’s critics said he had given the election legitimacy it did not deserve.

Trump defended USSR invasion of Afghanistan
During a January 2019 Cabinet meeting, Trump defended the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. He said the Soviet Union “was right” to invade in 1979 because “terrorists were going into Russia.” The comments puzzled many observers, who noted that the Soviets invaded to bolster a communist government and the US had backed Afghan militants who fought the Soviets.

Trump praised pro-Russian leaders in Europe
On several occasions, Trump has praised controversial far-right European leaders who have been shunned by most US officials because of their close ties to Putin. Trump met at the White House with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a top Kremlin ally. He praised the campaign of French politician Marine Le Pen, whose party previously got millions from a Russian bank.

Trump didn’t publicly condemn Russian attack
According to congressional testimony, Trump declined to publicly condemn a Russian attack against Ukrainian military vessels in November 2018, even though the State Department prepared a statement for him. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo criticized Russia’s “dangerous escalation.” The White House didn’t say anything, but Trump canceled a meeting with Putin.

Trump wanted to let Russia back in the G7
Breaking with American allies, Trump repeatedly called for Russia to be invited back into the Group of Seven. Russia was suspended from the working group of leading industrial nations in 2014 after Putin annexed Crimea. At this year’s G7 summit in France, Trump pressed the other leaders to include Russia next year. They balked at the request, which would have been a huge benefit to Putin without any concessions.

Trump’s Syria withdrawal gave Putin a boost
Trump announced in October 2019 that US troops were withdrawing from northern Syria. The abrupt move cleared the way for Turkey to conquer territories previously controlled by the US and allied Kurdish militias. It also gave Russia a golden opportunity to expand its influence and swiftly take over abandoned US outposts and checkpoints. Trump’s move was a boon for Putin.

Trump repeated Kremlin talking points on ISIS
After announcing the Syria withdrawal, Trump repeated Kremlin talking points about ISIS. He said, “Russia hates ISIS as much as the United States does” and that they are equal partners in the fight. But Trump’s comments don’t reflect the reality on the ground: Since intervening in Syria in 2015, the Russian military has focused its airstrikes on anti-government rebels, not ISIS.

Trump spread Russian myths about Ukraine
Over the past two months, Trump has said many false things about Ukraine that align with Russian disinformation about the country. This includes claims of uncontrollable corruption, improper ties between Ukrainian officials and the Obama administration, and allegations that Ukraine meddled in US elections. This helps Putin’s goal of destabilizing US-Ukraine relations.

Trump temporarily froze US aid for Ukraine
As the impeachment inquiry has revealed, Trump personally froze $391 million in US military and security assistance for Ukraine in mid-2019. US diplomats said Ukraine desperately needed the help for its war against Russian proxies. Previously, the Trump administration had slow-walked sales of anti-tank missiles to Ukraine because of concerns it would upset Russia, according to a State Department official.

It is clear these actions have & are giving considerable “Aid and Comfort” to a sworn Enemy which at this very moment has Nuclear Missiles aimed at the United States

Republican Elected Officials Not ‘Saying The Truth’

Over the past months, Trump and some Republicans has said many false things about Ukraine that align with Russian disinformation about the country. This includes claims of uncontrollable corruption, improper ties between Ukrainian officials and the Obama administration, and allegations that Ukraine meddled in US elections. This helps Putin’s goal of destabilizing US-Ukraine relations.

Republicans used to distrust Russia but after Trump took office, many Republicans shifted their position.

This graphic accurately depicts how Trump was subservient to Russia / Putin’s wishes while Republicans did doing nothing to “Defend and Protect” the United States from this foreign adversary which is dedicated to our destruction.

Republicans Admit They’re Afraid of Trump and MAGA

Our friends in the Ukraine are dying for Trump. Citizens are being kidnapped and killed so an American who never even understood the words integrity and honor can get political points. There’s no honor and no Integrity in that for all of America. Putin will continue his Conquest when he’s done in Ukraine knowing America will just say do whatever the hell you want when Putin attacks our NATO allies. Our sons and daughters will be caught up in yet another European conflict and the cost will be much much higher than the cost of sending weapons to Ukraine.

We all know funding for Ukraine would pass the house in a heartbeat. Since when does a former official like Trump get tug on the puppet strings of a house Speaker? Since when does a murderous foreign dictator get the control of former President? There is nothing great about abandoning our allies. GET TO WORK!
