I’m here for the truth. Don’t wreck this platform with BS. Be kind. Flood the zone with facts. Dig deep. Stay informed. The truth is out there and it won’t be pretty. Headlines and sound bites don’t cut it. Read. If you actually know, then write.
Excellent summary.
For Trump, "flooding the zone" means committing so many crimes and outrages, both great and small, that no one can focus on any of them. From mass murder on the high seas to plastering his name on everything thing in sight to blatantly violating a law he signed just last month.

People need to see things like this since corporate media no longer reports on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. If you need a refresher, please watch the documentary “20 days in Mariupol”.
To those thinking Russia is winning in Ukraine:
Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, we were almost four years into it, only occupied 20 percent, and lost a million men.
Not a soul would call that “winning.”

There are no words. One can only imagine the posts when Trump finally dies and no former Presidents attend his funeral. The eulogies will only serve to highlight the broken people surrounding him still.
Trump posted a very sick and twisted message about the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife.
Trump is obviously a very sick person and a national security threat.
The American people need to vote to remove Republicans who are endangering our country by enabling Trump.

Perhaps this explains why Trump quietly lifted sanctions on Russia’s Lukoil. He doesn’t have to explain why the U.S. isn’t going after their shadow fleet.

I’ve yet to hear a counterpoint on this or anything, anything else that would explain Trump’s behavior. Just saying. Let’s start with why sanctions were lifted on Russia’s Lukoil with no announcement.
Trump is a Russian asset. There can no longer be a shred of doubt. He is fucking up the whole world to prevent Putin exposing the Kompromat he has on Trump. I don't know what it is, but it must be bad, even worse than the Epstein files.

All because a mentally ill man couldn’t accept the result of an election.
