Why Trump is suing Hillary ??

Because there is nothing that stirs the hatred of the Trump cult moreso than the mention of Hillary Clinton.

Just the mere mention of her name brings them all together.

If nothing else, Trump understands how to pull the strings of his supporters. He plays them like they deserve to be played.

"Oh Boy! Trump is finally getting serious and is going to put Hillary in jail!", they scream in joy.

The truth of the matter is that he is keeping his flock together by using Hillary as the target of their wrath and to assure they remain loyal to him during these difficult times.

It's an obvious distraction but it works.

After what we have seen in this country with "misinformation and disinformation"...?

...Is it surprising to anyone that the Russian people support Putin's war in Ukraine with about 60% in support?

Putin has been "programming" his people for more than 20 years. Trump only had 5 or 6 to "program" his followers. We see what he was able to achieve in such a short time.

The Russian people are not that different from the American people. They are susceptible to populist messages and propaganda from a cult of personality, just as are the Trump supporters in this country.

Channel One in Moscow is very similar to FOX News in this country. That is where most of Putin's followers get their "news". They have been fed a steady diet of "feel good" news about the "military operation" in Ukraine and are not aware of the facts on the ground.

America and Russia are two-way mirrors of alternate realities.

Did Donald Trump encourage and embolden Vladimir Putin?

Or did he keep the evil tendencies of Vladimir Putin at bay? Was Putin afraid of Trump? Did he think he was too unpredictable to challenge? And that is why he waited until Joe Biden was President until he decided to invade Ukraine? He saw Joe Biden as weak?

No doubt, this is what many Trump supporters believe. However, the reality paints a different picture.

Vladimir Putin has terribly miscalculated. He may have thought that NATO had been weakened to the point they would never oppose him? He may have thought the Ukrainians would have welcomed his troops with kisses and flowers? He may have thought the war would be short and he would continue his dominance over the Russian people?

But, he forgot one small item. Everything Donald Trump touches dies. His association with Donald Trump will be his downfall.

He may have thought Donald Trump and his followers were in charge of America and they were on the side of Putin and Russia?

He has made a blunder of historic proportions.

2022 elections will be a barometer for the health of America

How much do Americans care about Putin's invasion of Ukraine?

How much do Americans care about Donald Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin?

How much do they care about what happened on January 6th of last year?

How much do they trust the Dept of Justice to apply justice fairly and squarely?

How much do they trust Republicans to do what is best for America?

These are a few questions Republicans are confronted with when they go to the polls? Are we to believe they do not care about any of the questions above? Is their primary motivation only to defeat the left and the liberals?

The elections of 2022 and 2024 will not tell us where America is going. They will tell us where we have already gone.

Violent, forced immigration is Putin's biggest weapon.

He did it in Syria. He bombed towns to rubble and the people had to leave. He did in the name of protecting his puppet, Assad, in Syria. At the same time, he was helping his friend, Trump, to destroy the ISIS army that were using Syria as a refuge from the American forces in Iraq.

In his reckless bombing and destruction, he created millions of immigrants and refugees from that part of the world. Many of them moved north into the European countries. But, that did not matter to Putin. He once again had his threatened puppet in control and ISIS had been nearly annihilated.

Now, he is doing the same thing in Ukraine. In reckless abandon, he has driven almost 4 million people away from their country and into other European countries. He has threatened the use of nuclear weapons on anyone that might challenge him. He has made the world a much more dangerous place.

Why are so many Republicans still supporting Putin?

Is it because their Leader, Trump, is still supporting Putin and they do not wish to get on the bad side of their Leader?

Are they so captive to their cult that they cannot criticize a dictator who invades his neighbor and commits war crimes against innocent women and children? Even though the entire world has stood up to condemn this reckless act of aggression?

It is truly sad to see such spineless acquiescence. It is even more sad that many of them are sitting in the Congress of the United States.
