Presidential Pardons will NOT help this time. States and Foreign Countries all have their own anti-fraud, wire fraud statues to enforce. States have treason clauses in their constitutions as well. Nobody is coming to save these fiends.

Worth remembering...this article from 2024 highlights how Russia's invaluable A-50u AWACS can be brought down before even taking off...via runway sabotage. Hopefully we'll see more of this in the future, via #Ukraine or 'elsewhere.' @andreasor.bsky.social #NAFO kyivindependent.com/belarus-sent...

Russia ups its ground based radar kit as it runs low on AWACS systems like the A-50 ✈️ . Yet in wartime such sites could be mere sitting ducks…a modern day Maginot Line. #Ukraine @andreasor.bsky.social @69thsb.bsky.social @nafordfiesta.bsky.social #NAFO www.stripes.com/theaters/eur...

Just speculating here…But this might be one of the reasons #Ukraine is targeting Russian civilian airports now. Most experts estimate 🇷🇺 has less than 5 active units left. These AWACS are invaluable to all modern militaries. @69thsb.bsky.social @andreasor.bsky.social militarnyi.com/en/news/russ...

🚨 HERE WE GO AGAIN: GAS PRICES JUST JUMPED. The national average shot up overnight to $4.29 a gallon — and diesel climbed to $6.32. Americans are getting hammered at the pump and at the checkout line. If you’re sick of paying the price, remember in November — and VOTE OUT all Republicans!

The oil prices only know one way and this is up. They have climbed continuously in October. Trump’s announcement regarding the minuscule Russian promise has not even dented that, predictably. The Strait of Hormuz is severely disrupted and the Iranian regime plays Trump like a fiddle.

The strategy of blaming Ukraine isn't working (because its bullshit), so he switched to blaming Iran.
