The invasion of Ukraine is proof that Putin was planning on getting and keeping Trump in power

[Kyblue1]

Trump clearly was part of Putin’s long range plan to reclaim the former Russian empire by weakening NATO and our relations with our allies in Europe. Trump is the greatest traitor in our country’s history. How can the GOP continue to allow this internal war on our country?

1. Agree

When Republicans say with a straight face that "Putin didn't invade Ukraine when Trump was in power", I laugh my arse off. Trump was trying to get Zelensky out of power for 4 years, he was undermining Ukraine and was impeached for withholding military support from Ukraine. Trump's entire policy around Ukraine was to try to weaken it so Putin could have it.

Don't let them forget, Trump was literally impeached over undermining Ukraine.

2. GOP and Putin have the same goals.

Total permanent power and access to all their country's wealth.
And to install white christian minority rule.

3. Anyone of these pro Putin rat bastards should be held to acount

Everyone of them voted to let Donald Trump off the hook about blackmailing Zelenskyy and Ukraine
to rat fuck our elections by withholding military aid. They put party over our country and standing up
to Vlad Putin. Only Romney voted to hold Trump accountable.

the evidence of Trump's trying to blackmail Zelenskyy by blocking military aid to the Ukraine.

4. I'm probably preaching to the choir here

The vast majority of the elected GOP doesn't give a rat's raw ass about anything but staying in power, working for the benefit of corporations, harvesting as much money as possible for themselves and their benefactors, cutting taxes of the ultra-rich, cutting social programs that cost money that might require raising taxes, and lyng whenever convenient.

We live in degenerate times. At the top of my list is reforming campaign contributions. Corporations are not people. Only people should be allowed to make financial contributions,and limited to a reasonable amount, which I deem is $25K max, but we can debate what is a reasonable amount.

We need to dump the electoral college. It is simply not fair and undemocratic that Montana and Idaho get the same number of senators as NY, Cal, FL, Tex.

Maybe the senate should go to. Just have 1` body of representatives. Or if we keep the senate, membership is proportional to each state's population. Better minds than mine can work on this one.

Election day needs to be a Fed paid holiday. Absentee mail-in voting not discouraged.

[Lovie777]

6. Agreed . ...

Money and power and taking away any rights that don't comply with their fucked up ideology which invokes JC and Gawd.

[brush]

9. I like your Senate idea. Wyoming's 600,000 have...

proportionately way more representational power than California's 40 million people. Not fair.

Also get rid of the 60 vote rule. It such be a simple majority like the rest of our representative bodies...majority rules. Keep the 6 year term maybe for more mature senators who theoretically would have more wisdom in making voting decisions.

And in the House unfair representation is also a problem. The 435 number of members was set in 1911, but the population of states did not stop growing in 1911, especially in the larger, blue states. That needs to be addressed too.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Agree, putZ wanted weak NATO. . . nt (fixed my error not seeing the past tense of the OP)

[wiggs]

7. All the private meetings with no transcripts. secret servers. There was a larger deal

in the works that included Russia but also other autocrats...SA, UAE, Turkey, Qatar, and more. A massive step toward world kleptocracy that was delayed by Trump's loss. Concentration of wealth and power into the hands of fewer and fewer is a long term plan and investment that won't be abandoned because of a single presidential loss.

[brush]

10. Putin has turned out not to be the ultra smart puppet master...

pulling trump's strings but a not so smart megalomaniacal psychotic who blundered massively in in overestimating his shell of an army by invading Ukraine.

Biden and NATO has proven to be superior and Putin will pay for his war crimes. IMO his days as the supreme tyrant in Russia a numbered.
