Did Trump Just Commit TREASON?

from Thom Hartmann,

Trump actually said yesterday, "Russia fought for that land in Ukraine and lost a lot of men doing it, so they should just keep it." And our defense secretary backed him up!

Trump is telling the world that territorial acquisition by force is acceptable again. He even blamed Ukraine for "going to war," as if this was their fault. He spoke well of Putin—a murderous thug—and then quoted Putin’s lie that Zelensky isn’t polling well in his own country. Right, like Gallup is over there doing reasonable polls. Give me a break.

Trump wouldn’t even call Ukraine a partner with the U.S. in negotiations. This is going to be entirely between him and Putin. And now, Trump says he’s going to Russia—or maybe Saudi Arabia—to meet Putin in person. So he can kiss his ass in person.

This is treason—both against the United States and against democracies across the world. It’s a complete repudiation of the world order established after World War II, which was specifically designed to prevent the kind of territorial seizure that could lead to another world war.

How We Pay For Tax Cuts

Trump Did Not Win - He Is An Illegitimate President

The numbers are hiding in plain sight - the last time Americans allowed an illegitimate President to stay in office after the official numbers were released we were stuck with 911, Two foreign wars that cost taxpayers between $4 and $6 trillion.

The United States ELECTIONS ASSISTANCE COMMISSION - Official Government Agency tracks not only the votes that were cast - but also the votes that were not counted.
That amounts to 4,776,706 voters knocked off the voter rolls for no good reason.
That is why Kamala did not win. Trump must be removed.
Trump is not president - He is precedent.

Trump, Republicans Threaten to Withhold Disaster Aid

Republicans are preparing to hold California families reeling from the impact of deadly wildfires hostage unless Democrats vote to pass tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

They are saying, no federal aid for recovery unless Republicans get what they want.

How about this, Gov Newsom, How about
CALIFORNIA WITHHOLDS FEDERAL TAXES THAT FEED RED STATES AND KEEP IT FOR OUR OWN DISASTER RELIEF??

WHAT DISASTER COULD BE NEXT THESE MAGAs THREATEN TO WITHHOLD AID??
EARTHQUAKE? FLOODS? DROUGHT??

THIS IS NOT MAKING AMERICA GREAT FOR ANYONE!

In reality, California pays far more to the federal government than it receives in benefits — one of only a handful of states for which that is true. Analysis from the Rockefeller Institute of Government shows that, in 2022, California contributed $83 billion more in taxes than it received from the federal government.

2025: Boycott and pledge to only buy necessities


Anytime I hear these comments from Republicans or the the wealthy:

"Why should we have to pay taxes for these programs we'll never use?" or "Why should we have to pay for these welfare queens?"

I say we illustrate it to them.

Boycott and pledge to only buy necessities.

Billionaires own the oil, so make less unnecessary trips.

Billionaires own the grocery stores so only buy necessities.

Billionaires own restaurants and coffee chains so stop patronizing them.

Billionaires own e-commerce platforms so stop ordering.

Stop ordering, stop consuming, stop patronizing.

Let's show them why they should support us- because we support them!

Cutting Social Security Doesn't

Just HURT recipients, it also hurts
Landlords
Retailers
Grocers
Oil / Gas Companies
Electric Companies
Utilities

Did I forget any?
How about online shopping:
Amazon sales
EBay sales

and the shippers:
Post Office, UPS, Fed Ex and others
Yes, we Seniors support a lot of the economy that is taken for granted!
I live on Social Security.
66.1886% goes to rent.
After I pay utilities, electricity and Medigap,
I'm left $30 for the month for Rx and groceries.
I just got a whopping $10 a month increase
to Social Security for next year!
