“For me as an American, it’s humiliating that my country’s leader is taking the side of the Kremlin. I never dreamed that we would have a Republican president on the side of the Kremlin in my life,” Gen. Ben Hodges (Ret.), Former Commander of U.S. Army Europe, said in an interview with TVP World.

Mark Carney on Elon Musk crippling Ukraine’s Starlink: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision… against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression."

This is so true

Remember when President Obama and Senator McCain could disagree politically and still treat each other with respect? They understood that above all else, leadership should be about what’s best for the American people. We need that decency, integrity, and spirit of unity back in America. #VoteBlue 🇺🇸

Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.

While I welcome Ukraine to hold an presidetial election as soon as Russia has capitulated and withdrawn all their troops, I’m quite convinced the USA is in much more dire need of a new president - a proper one and not a clown like the present one - than is Ukraine.

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

Obviously,those who are convincing President Trump that fuel prices can be brought down quickly by forcing Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil refineries are either demonstrating their ignorance or deliberately leading Republicans toward electoral defeat Fuel prices are already hurting Republicans

One didn’t see the US administration colluding with Russia coming before Trump but now I’m not even surprised. The sooner Trump is evicted from office the better.

Great @phillipspobrien.bsky.social piece on depth of Trump’s alliance w/Putin: “The US keeping Ukraine dependent on Patriots means even a small number gives US leverage, & in this case it can be used to do a massive favor for Putin—a favor Ukrainians were sadly forced to start giving right away.”

Yes completely bizarre as everything else he says or does

Just think of how sick, twisted and demented you have to be to post this as president knowing it is all a lie because you don’t want to admit you hired an unqualified pool guy - the act of typing this knowing that every word is false.

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

No one is surprised by this, Trump operates purely on royal dictates, breaking laws mean nothing to him, just power, control, greed. Not one thought about what's good for the average citizen, yet the average citizen voted for this horror.

Jack Smith: “I am not going to be intimidated. If the thought was to go after me so I wouldn’t speak up about the corruption that’s happening, or speak up to defend these agents and prosecutors, that is a grave miscalculation. There is no way I’m going to be intimidated.”

For the record, someone elected President is a public servant. He’s not there to steal from the public or stuff his own pockets. Donald J. Trump needs to be held accountable for abusing the office and taking our money.
