putin said to many news outlets that "Russia did not attack Ukraine, but defended itself" (TASS) I guess by invading Ukraine which somehow is not an attack. It's not even a good lie.
He also said "Former US President Donald Trump is being persecuted for political reasons, and this fact destroys Washington’s imaginary leadership in the sphere of democracy" (TASS). Mr. putin, is the imaginary leadership in the room with us?
A 2nd #Trump admin could #weaponize existing government agencies to dismantle democracy itself.
This article is part of “Project 2025: The Plot Against #America,” a Nation special issue devoted to unpacking the right’s vast & chilling program for a 2nd Trump term.
In Mandate’s chapter on the #DHS, Ken Cuccinelli writes, “Of the utmost urgency is immediately ending CISA’s counter-mis / #disinformation efforts. … #Project2025 document declares that “the entirety of the #CISA#Cybersecurity Advisory Committee should be dismissed on Day One.”
…This is just one way that Project 2025’s cabal of “experts” is scheming to thwart honest discourse about #elections & #democracy.
#StephenMiller, a fmr snr adviser to #Trump [& pure concentrated evil] who still helps guide his thinking on policy, blared out a directive on #FoxNews after a jury found Trump #guilty of falsifying financial records to cover up… his 2016 [#ElectionInterference]. Miller posed a series of questions to Republicans at every level, including local DAs.
“Is every House cmte controlled by #Republicans [ab]using its subpoena power in every way it needs to right now?” #StephenMiller demanded. “Is every Republican DA starting every investigation they need to right now?”
“Every facet of #Republican Party #politics & #power has to be used right now to go toe-to-toe w/Marxism & beat these Communists,” Miller said, using the catchall slurs #Trump allies routinely use against #Democrats.
Your twice weekly reminder that the fight is between those who want to “Terminate the Constitution” and those who do not. Everything else is distraction. #Politics#USPol
It is fundamentally ludicrous when U.S. citizens turn against #immigration. Unless you're 100% Native American, your existence depends upon immigrant ancestors.
Would you have told them to go back where they came from? Called them “scum of the earth?”
Our immigrant ancestors persevered to give us a future in the U.S. Not so that we could turn around and tell others like them that we’re all full up.
Remember the morons who said back in December that bypassing #congress to give arms to #Israel unconditionally would make it more compliant with #US demands?
Istrael has "a very generous stock of nuclear weapons. Hezbollah has a very generous stock of missiles & rockets. That's a lethal combination on both sides of the border.
"And many people, including Benny Morris are very eager for an attack on Iran.
"You're sure Benny, you want to attack Iran? You know what Benny.. you go attack Iran, but..leave the rest of the world out of it. You're a maniac."
