Donald Trump being installed into the White House was part of an act of war on America by Russia and all those
Americans who went along with it are part of the biggest crime in our History. J-6 2021 was the attempted violent
overthrow of our Constitutional Democracy and although TFG did not or would do the work as POTUS he was behind
much of the action so he could keep power and avoid the shit ton full of legal problems he knew was coming his way
after he left the White House. 70% of the republican House members were in support of the J-6 rioters and all but
Mitt Romney of the Republicans in the senate were OK with TFG helping to support Putin taking of the Ukriane and
his trying to blackmail President Zelenskyy into making up dirt on Joe Biden and his family.
BTW After these hearings anyone of those republicans who helped the rioters get tours of the Capitol, turned off the
panic buttons in democratic house members offices, had the D.C. National Guard stand down, and sold "the big lie"
need to be dealt with.

(70,490 posts)A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset
He helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016
As to Russia, the report leaves no doubt: In 2020, as in 2016, President Putin authorized, and a range of Russian government organizations conducted, influence operations to help Trump and hurt his Democratic opponent. For example, Shortly after the 2018 midterm elections, Russian intelligence cyber actors attempted to hack organizations primarily affiliated with the Democratic Party. Then, in late 2019, Russias military intelligence service, the GRU, conducted a phishing campaign against subsidiaries of Burisma holdings, likely in an attempt to gather information related to President Bidens family. Throughout the 2020 election, agents connected to the Russian Federal Security Service, FSB, planted negative stories about Biden. Internet operatives working for the Kremlin, including the troll farm that had boosted Trump in 2016, continued to promote Trump and his commentary, including repeating his political messaging.
Attacks on Biden and his son, Hunter, were part of this operation. Through US officials and prominent US individuals, some of whom were close to former President Trump and his administration, the report says Russias intelligence services repeatedly spread unsubstantiated or misleading claims about President Biden and his familys alleged wrongdoing related to Ukraine. In this way, Trumps circle laundered the Russian-planted stories, which were then recirculatedand promoted by Russias online proxiesas American news.

(9,776 posts)Short version is that chaos means weak government, and that means little or no regulation of oligarchs. Period.
It's exactly the Nazi Germany playbook
Normalize hate and violence.
Stochastic terrorism.
Bring down elected government.
IT CAN BE STOPPED.
THIS IS NOT 1938 GERMANY.
