From a Friend Who's a Citizen of the British Empire:

Many of us who had spent our lives among international 'connected people' felt that Trump danced to Putin's strings from when Putin's shady oligarch pals bailed him out from the failed casinos: we were more certain when numbers of rich Russians began funneling money through Trump's businesses.

When Trump was elected in 2016 ,"we" became more convinced.

These latest actions absolutely confirm those certainties. It is not just Trump's statements, but the appointments of "weak sisters' and known Putin fellow travelers and to the confirmed opinion: a Rubio an international Know Nothing, there to weaken the US influence all around the world: Hegseth, put in place to weaken the US militarily: Tulsi Gabbard, a known Putin apostle for National Security.

There has always been a wonder whether Melania was inserted as a "minder" in view of her father's diehard Moscow support right back to Stalinist days.

Wake up, United States, your President works for Russia!

PLEASE start saying it and sending it out..

"Andrew Johnston".

If we follow the money, it's from Putin's wallet into Trump's pocket.

Our only hope is for every citizen to bombard their elected officials with phone calls and e-mails. We need to attend public meetings, march in the streets. And, we need to do it now! We will take strength from one another because we are all in this together!

Kompromat on the hoof. In fact, his entire administration is a Kompromat Ponzi scheme and they think it's street-cred.

those of us who've been paying attention all along, from that very first "Russia if you're listening..." the secret meetings... all of it. "No collusion" meant the exact opposite (as everything does in Bizarro-land).

Problem being, those "proud American patriots" would rather BE Russian than Democrat. Trump would call it treason, if Democrats did it, but hey.....
