#Trump and Russia

[the-orange-shit-stain-scam]

So called MAGA “Patriot” leaders wrap themselves in our flag while pissing on the legacy of our founding fathers and the constitution. A vote for The False Orange Savior is a vote for tyranny. Putin thanks all of the MAGA politicians via $$$ for their service in the dismantling of the “United” States of America. It is always hard to accept that you have been scammed. However, this is reality. Look up how Putin was trained to take down western governments via creating this form of internal cancer when he was in the KGB.

Why is this man smiling?

Russia's murderous dictator, Vlad Putin, must be a happy man. His project of installing a puppet as president of the United States in 2016 was — with the help of our compliant news organizations (but her emails!) — unprecedentedly successful. And then, as a bonus, that puppet somehow managed to capture and dominate one of the country's two major political parties.

Which is why it has become so difficult to tell the difference between the Kremlin's goals and those of today's GOP. Both seem single-mindedly intent on dividing Americans along racial and class lines, turning our democracy into a joke, delegitimizing our national institutions and destroying our economy.

Many Republicans, like Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ohio senator J.D. Vance, might as well be paid Russian agents. In fact, Michael McCaul of Texas, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Puck News he thinks “Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base.” And GOP congressman Mike Turner, chair of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, recently observed on CNN's "State of the Union,"

We see directly coming from Russia…communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor.

But it's not just their refusal to support Ukraine (as per Putin's wishes). During the four years of his presidency, Donald Trump's foreign policy purposely sought to do much of what Putin wanted to achieve. Even today Trump and his Republican fellow-travelers eagerly work to do Putin's bidding by undermining the NATO alliance, weakening the European Union, and preventing any improvement in relations with Iran.

Think Republicans don't follow Russia's lead? A few years back the Russian government announced it was raising the age of retirement from 60 to 65 for men and from 55 to 63 for women. Sure enough, in March the Republican Study Committee, which comprises more than 170 House members, released a budget proposal that would raise the age of Social Security eligibility.

Finally, consider this quote from more than a century ago by America's greatest humorist, as cited in Albert Bigelow Paine's Mark Twain, a Biography:

In our democracy we are cheering a thing which of all things is most foreign to it and out of place — the delivery of our political conscience into somebody else's keeping. This is patriotism on the Russian plan.

Even though Twain wasn't trying to be funny at the time, it remains an accurate observation that would put a grin on Putin's face.

"- I have a lot of problems with Biden. He is clearly the better of the two options, which I recognize is a very low bar. Being better than Trump cannot be the standard, because Donald Trump is the absence of a standard.

"But the truth is, even if Trump looses, that won't be the end of this. The people who cooked up Project 2025 will just move onto Project 2029 instead, because for them, this is so much more than just one election, or indeed, one candidate. Project 2025 is born from impulse as old as America. It's an impulse that says one class of Americans is entitled to lead, and the rest of us are lucky to be allowed to serve- that thinks there should be a limited government when it comes to rules they have to live by, but also a unitary executive to keep the rest of us in line. These are old, old ideas that have been shouted from podiums-... but have now been placed into a new handbook for an only too willing president to use on day one.

"And in a perfect world, I would love if we had an opposing party better able to articulate a strong defense of our country's ideals and that also consistently lived up to them. People are entitled to hope for more from the next four years than someone just not being Trump (and for at least two supreme court justices to die)-...

"And for anyone tempted to think, 'Well, we survived Trump's first term,' first, not everyone did, and it should hopefully be very clear by now a second Trump term really does promise to be far, far worse, because if Trump's first term was defined by chaos, his second could be defined by ruthless efficiency. That should be troubling to absolutely everyone because Project 2025 is a movement who's members joke about wanting a white homeland and insist women have to have more babies to uphold western society.-

"We need to be better than this."

Russian disinformation has set our country back at least a decade.

Everything changed in 2016

Paragraph Left: "Every four years, presidential elections are held in the USA. The two main political parties in the country—the Republican and Democratic parties—compete for power, each aiming to put "their own person" in the White House. However, both the Republican and Democratic parties are organizations of big capital in the USA, and all their activities are focused on ensuring and protecting its interests." Text Right: "The master will decide who defeats whom, as both are in his service!" Unknown Soviet Union 1968

Putin served in the USSR's spy agency for 16 years, between 1975 and 1991, eventually reaching the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

I have heard from multiple MAGA friends and family members that they trust Putin more than any Democrat. This frightening political stance by people who believe that they are acting in the best interest of our country shows the devastating impact of Russian propaganda spread through MAGA politicians and pundits. I generally do not agree with the Democratic party’s platform. However, every vote for a MAGA politician who enables this murderous former KGB leader is a vote against the very freedoms that our country was founded on.

[the-orange-shit-stain-scam]

The Orange Shit Stain Scam would never have won in 2016 without Russian money and interference. Unfortunately, Trump, along with all other MAGA politicians, are all clueless assists of the former KGB official, Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir Putin. Their lust for power has blinded them as to who’s agenda they are really serving.

TFG’s sponsor needs to know.

Americans died because Trump puts Russia first. The entire country suffered. Families lost loved ones. Graduations, reunions, weddings, and billions of moments of joy were forever changed due to Trump loyalty to Putin.

US hospitals were sacrificed.

Medical professionals were sacrificed.

Retirement homes were sacrificed.

Never forget how Republicans give their power to Trump, who gives that power to Putin.

I live in Finland. It's been a very stressful few days seeing USA elect the convict as their president. Finland shares a land border with Russia and we have only recently joined NATO, which has caused further tension between us and Russia. Trump has indicated a desire for either weaken NATO support or to leave NATO entirely. This would like mean less NATO resources and weaken NATO support. We have a mad man at our border and we have aggravated him by not supporting his attack on Ukraine and by taking an active stance by joining NATO, something we had avoided doing for a really long time in an effort to maintain relations with Russia. A lot of European, especially Baltic, countries face similar situations and have reassess the threat Russia poses to them.

Ive seen a lot of discourse online these past few days where Americans take offense to Europeans reaction to the election. How can we not react when we have a credible threat to our safety at our door? Yes, we understand this is terrible for you but it is for us too. I personally already know my war time station. I know what my future holds should Putler attack us. I know hiw my life will change, should this happen. My family has made plans for their safety should this happen and I am so lucky I know my family takes this as a serious threat and makes plans just in case.

I dont mean to belittle anyones anguish over this, but I want to point out: it is just not the people in the US whos future is at risk because of this. It is very much a global threat.

[the-orange-shit-stain-scam]

MAGA has zero to do with making America Great. It is a 100% bullshit scam designed to help two men, Putin and Trump. Here’s hoping that enough Americans turn out to vote this November to make this a reality!

[canberramaidan]

I'm not American, but my feed is full of soft russian propaganda. Fake accounts, or clueless Westerners, posting over and over about how Ukraine has to surrender for their own good.

They keep using the term "to the last Ukrainian", acting as if Ukrainians have no agency in fighting for their freedom, and as if russia has a right to invade and colonise their neighbour. AGAIN.

I have family killed, missing, or POWs in this genocidal invasion. They know what they're fighting for. Let them speak about their own country, which apparently nobody here can even find on a map.

And it's no coincidence that the Kremlin has upped their "Ukraine must surrender to genocide" narratives so much right now, days out from MAGA likely sending the world into WW3.
