Rural White Voters Mislead by Trump
Rural White Voters are being mislead by Trump, Republicans and Right Wing Media. Trump doesn’t associate with rural people and isn’t religious. He’s a liar and con artist who’s done nothing to improve their lives. Trump associates says he finds his supporters to be disgusting and “thinks Republicans are stupid”.
The Real Reason Rural Voters Choose Fascism
Rural Americans often cast their votes for the very politicians that will ultimately destroy their way of life.
How Rednecks Became Trumpies
The Polls Prove It: Many Republicans Love Fascism
Trump keeps cranking up the Nazi-esque rhetoric because his supporters are eating it up.
Per the above article: “It is no longer controversial to speak plainly about the authoritarian shift of the Republican Party, led by Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton was dragged in 2016 for saying, “You could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables.… The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name it.” When Biden described the “extreme MAGA philosophy” as “semi-fascism” earlier this year, hardly anyone blinked. This is in part due to a shift in the conventional wisdom about Trump and partly due to Trump and the GOP not even bothering to try to hide their authoritarian aims anymore.
Trump has referred to his opponents as “vermin” who are trying to “destroy America and to destroy the American dream,” and claimed that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our nation.” The Hitlerian overtones have not gone unnoticed. And yet, the man who promises to be a dictator on “day one” leads the GOP primary by 50 points. How could this be? The horrifying conclusion is that there is plenty of appetite within the party for this sort of rhetoric and it doesn’t turn many people off.
Surveys back this up. A recent poll of likely Iowa caucusgoers found that 42 percent of them were more likely to vote for Trump based on his assertion that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of the country. Twenty-nine percent said the comments don’t matter, and 28 percent responded that it would make them less likely to vote for him. In a national poll, 42 percent of Republicans identified themselves as “MAGA” conservatives.
These are the Americans who believe they should be forever atop the social and political order because of their race and/or religion and are angry at society for changing in ways that have leveled the playing field even a little. Trump promised these voters that “I am your retribution,” and they are planning to hold him to it.
Which is to say, an unbreakable plurality of the GOP explicitly wants fascism. Another 29 percent are OK with it as long as it doesn’t directly affect them (though I expect a lot of them are going to unexpectedly get their faces eaten by leopards). And of the remaining 28 percent who don’t like it, Trump’s approval ratings within the GOP as president suggest that most who don’t like what he is saying will pull the lever for him anyway in November 2024″.
Video Shows Trump is a Pathological Liar
| TRUMP DISGUSTED BY HIS SUPPORTERS |
Howard Stern says Trump hates his supporters and is disgusted by them
“Jared Kushner Once Told Reporter That Trump Thinks Republicans Are Stupid”
“According to a recent GQ article, Jared Kushner once told a reporter that Trump doesn’t always believe the things he says but he says them because he knows that Republicans are “stupid.” This explains a lot about Donald’s rise to power, as well as how he feels about the people who put him in power”.
Trump Secretly Mocks Christian Supporters
Olivia Troye who was Homeland Security and Counter terrorism Advisor to Vice President Pence talks about how Trump only cares about himself and how she heard him say; “maybe the Covid is a good thing… so I don’t have to shake hands with these disgusting people”.
Don’t believe pundits at FOX like Sean Hannity or Laura Ingraham… they are Propaganda Ministers for Trump. They have sold they’re souls for the millions they’re paid per year so they can live a lavish lifestyle, with no regard to the harm they’ve cause to our country and it’s citizens. Republican Strategist for 2008 McCain / Palin Presidential campaign Steve Schmidt explains how Fox News and Rupert Murdoch have destroyed America with Lies and Propaganda.
Here’s a photo of Sean Hannity’s home in New York. According to celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/republicans/sean-hannity-net-worth, Hannity is worth $250 Million and his salary is $45 Million a year.
When you look at the lavish lifestyle Hannity lives, one can see why he has a vested interest in doing or saying what-ever it takes to maintain his lavish lifestyle.
TEXTS REVEAL Sean Hannity TOOK ORDERS From Trump White House
Jesse talks about what newly public text messages reveal about the relationship between Fox New’s Sean Hannity and Donald Trump’s White House in the aftermath of Trump’s 2020 election loss to Joe Biden. In text messages between Sean Hannity and WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Hannity replied with “Yes sir. On it” when ordered by Meadows on how to talk about the election.

Democrats Have Always Been the Pro-Union, Pro-Workers Party while Republicans have always been for Corporations and the Rich
Republicans are bought and paid for by Huge Corporations and the RICH. The United States is Trillions of Dollars in Debt because of Republicans giving tax breaks to the Rich, refusing to make them pay their fair share.
President Truman Explains Difference Between Republicans & Democrats
UAW chief Shawn Fain explains why the union endorsed Biden over Trump
Shawn Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers, explains why the union endorsed President Biden’s reelection, saying he “can’t fathom” any union supporting former President Donald Trump.
Trump gives staged speech to non-union workers
Trump Paid $20,000 To Non-Union Shop To Hold Fake UAW Speech
Donald Trump spent $20,000 to hold his fake UAW speech at a non-union factory with non-union workers in Michigan.
Trump Paid $20,000 To Non-Union Shop To Hold Fake UAW Speech
Per the above article; “After the Trump campaign announced the speech, it was revealed that Trump wasn’t going to the UAW picket line. The former president wasn’t addressing autoworkers, and he wasn’t speaking a union shop. It was all a con.
President Biden wrecked Trump’s stunt by showing up ahead of Trump and walking the picket line with UAW workers.
Trump’s speech ended up being a disaster that didn’t address any of the concerns of the auto workers, and the story concluded with the UAW endorsing President Biden for reelection.
Donald Trump could not risk meeting with actual union members, so he set up a fake event for the television cameras and had non-union workers hold up union members for Trump signs.
None of it was real, and it didn’t work. The former president didn’t fool anyone. His staged event was seen through and did not generate the media coverage that he was hoping for.”
Former Union President says Trump failed to keep Jobs in the United States or bring jobs back home as he promised
Trump Rewarded Companies Who Shipped American Jobs Overseas
Trump has repeatedly claimed that he saved American jobs and prevented them from being sent overseas. But the truth is that he’s done nothing to save American jobs, and he coddled the companies which sent our jobs overseas. The Trump administration handed out $425 BILLION in federal contracts to companies who are sending jobs overseas, according to a new analysis.
This speech by Democrat Representative from Ohio, Tim Ryan is a classic example how Democrats fight for Average Joe Americans, while Republicans LIE and fight for the RICH
Democrats working for middle class working Americans
Right Wing Media, FOX News and Republicans constantly demonize President Biden so as many people as possible vote for Republicans, the Party which is bought and paid for by the RICH.
| JOE BIDEN VERSUS TRUMP |
Trump is the son of a New York City Real Estate Tycoon, he became a millionaire at 8 years old, grew up in a 25 room home in the City and didn’t serve in the Military because he claimed he had bone spurs in his feet, doesn’t have anything in common with Rural White Voters, isn’t religious, he’s a liar and con artist who’s done nothing to improve their lives. By contrast, Joe Biden is the son of a used car salesman and was born to a middle-class family in Scranton, PA and has dedicated his life to helping the Middle Class and the Poor.
Donald Trump’s Record Of Stiffing The Little Guy
This video shows how Trump managed to evade consequences his entire life.
After learning that he lost the 2020 election, Trump REFUSED to admit defeat and LIED claiming without any proof that the election was stolen from him. Trump used legal tactics to challenge the election results in swing states and when those challenges didn’t work he resorted to inciting his deluded & brainwashed followers to engage in a violent COUP to overturn our government to make himself an UN-elected dictator to stay in power against the will of the people.
This violent coup was the final act committed by the most Lawless and Corrupt administration in American History.
Most Lawless & Corrupt, Self Serving “Administration” in History
Trump associates arrested, charged and found guilty of crimes
Right Wing media outlets brainwash their viewers into believing the Mainstream Media is “Fake News” so they only watch and believe the lies and misinformation from Right Wing Media sources. This helps them make more money because MORE VIEWERS = MORE PROFITS in advertising. And it helps Republicans get re-elected, against the best interests of middle class and poor Americans. Right-Wing outlets want to KEEP their viewers brainwashed so they never watch legitimate news and learn the truth about the damage Trump and Republicans has been doing to our country while screwing over “the little guy”.
Why Fox is ‘the most destructive institution in all of American politics’
Fox News fearmongering backfires on live TV
When Curtis Sliwa and the Guardian Angels attacked a “migrant shoplifter” live on Fox News, it fit perfectly with the right’s narrative about “illegals” and “rampant crime.” Except after the cameras turned off, a little more reporting and digging revealed the truth.

The “Fox-Can-Lie Lawsuit” established that they’re not required to be truthful by law. Since Fox has established that they have the legal right not to be truthful, Fox Opinion Hosts tells their conservative viewers that Democrats are “Radical Leftist Socialists” who want to take away your guns & freedom, that Republican policies are good for this country, that Trump’s a rational person and the MSM (Main Stream Media) such as ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post etc is “Fake News”. ALL the exact opposite of the TRUTH.
Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice
From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception
Republicans Must Lie to Survive: They have No Other Choice
Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.
Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.
But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”
“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”
“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”
The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.

TRUMP IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW REPUBLICANS LIE
Republican Candidates such as George Santos, Hershel Walker and J.R. Majewski all got caught Lying to get elected
Republicans told outrageous lies about Democrats at the 1st GOP Debate in August 2023 claiming they’re for Abortions up until Birth as a scare tacit to deflect from their own Radical Anti-Abortion policies such as NO exceptions for rape or incest, forcing 10 year old girls to give birth to a rapists child, prison sentences if a woman gets an abortion and laws allowing Anti-Abortion Vigilantes to sue anyone who assists a women seeking an abortion for $10,000.

Per the above article; Alabama Chief Justice Tom Parker indicated on the show he was a proponent of the “Seven Mountains Mandate,” an explicitly theocratic doctrine at the heart of Christian nationalism.
“Alabama Chief Justice Tom Parker, who wrote the concurring opinion in last week’s explosive Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos have the same rights as living children, recently appeared on a show hosted by self-anointed “prophet” and QAnon conspiracy theorist.
Parker was the featured guest on “Someone You Should Know,” hosted by Johnny Enlow, a Christian nationalist influencer and devoted supporter of former President Donald Trump. Over the course of an 11-minute interview, Parker articulated a theocratic worldview at odds with a functioning, pluralistic society.
“God created government,” he told Enlow, adding that it’s “heartbreaking” that “we have let it go into the possession of others.”
Media Matters, the liberal media watchdog group, was the first to report on Parker’s appearance on the program.
That a state’s chief Supreme Court justice would associate himself with Enlow is a cause for alarm. Enlow is a prolific conspiracy theorist, often weaving QAnon apocrypha with prophecies he claims to receive directly from God.
As reported by Right Wing Watch, Enlow has claimed that Trump “is on assignment” from God to work with the angels Michael and Gabriel to take down George Soros and Bill Gates, among others; he has claimed that Russian President Vladamir Putin is fighting “Luciferian pedophiles” in Ukraine, in a battle to stop them from deploying vaccines and 5G that would turn people into transhumanist semi-robots; and he has claimed that the majority of other world leaders are “satanic” pedophiles who “steal blood” and “do sacrifices.”

Why So Many QAnon Believers Are Evangelical Christians
Christian Nationalism Is On The Rise
The religious right has been around for a long time. But in recent years, a new kind of public, political expression of religion has grown increasingly common: Christian nationalism. But what do Christian nationalists really stand for and where is the movement headed? Amanda Tyler, lead organizer of Christians Against Christian Nationalism, joins Ayman to discuss.

Republicans fit all of the Characteristics of Fascism described below
Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism – Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt
1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
2. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.
14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

Secret Christian Government Takeover Exposed
Video describes a plot to take over the government by a secret men-only right-wing Christian entity called the “Society for American Civic Renewal”.
The Society for American Civic Renewal, or SACR for short, is a group that was uncovered earlier this month by Talking Points Memo, which described them as, “a secret, men-only right-wing society with members in influential positions around the country who are on a crusade to recruit a Christian government that will form after the right achieves regime change in the United States, potentially via a ‘national divorce.'” Joining Joy Reid is the journalist who wrote this story, Josh Kovensky, investigative reporter for Talking Points Memo.
On December 13, 2023 at a Trump rally in Coralville Iowa, Radical Right Wing MAGA Preacher Joel Tenney declared; “This election is part of a spiritual battle. There are demonic forces at play. But judgment is coming. When Trump becomes the 47th president, there will be retribution against all those who have promoted evil in this country.”
The fact is, it’s TRUMP & his followers who are promoting evil by lying about the 2020 election being stolen, then engaged in riots, violence and an insurrection (which caused 5 deaths) to overturn the election because TRUMP is such a Narcissistic Psychopath that he refused to admit he lost.

Alabama Supreme Court Justice Tom Parker drew scrutiny after he invoked the threat of “the wrath of a holy God” in his legal opinion that embryos have the legal rights of children. Parker is a believer in the Christian Nationalist ideology known as the Seven Mountains Mandate which commands followers to control the ‘seven mountains’ of society — including government. An alarming number of prominent GOP figures, including Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, have embraced Christian Nationalist ideas. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,” wrote the Founders in the First Amendment, but today’s GOP seems bent on tearing down the wall between church and state.

3 Ways Christianity Was Largely Responsible For The Holocaust
While Christianity wasn’t the sole catalyst for the Holocaust, there is no doubt that Christianity set the stage for the Holocaust to happen.
Per the above article; “Christianity was culturally oppressive to the Jews – In the eyes of the Christian church, Jews were heretics and Jesus-killers. Since they rejected the teachings of salvation, they deserved to go to Hell. Hitler hijacked German Christians’ existing prejudice towards Jews.
Hitler stepped in and said, “I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator by defending myself against the Jew. I am fighting for the work of the Lord.”
Hitler merely played on the prejudices created by Christianity to blame the problems that were largely created by Christianity, on the Jews. Thus, Christianity played a central role in setting the stage for the Holocaust”.

But there’s a new and troubling trend in American right-wing politics: the desire to impose Christianity in the name of politics and nationalism. Professor Samuel Perry joins Mehdi to discuss: Just how dangerous is the rise of this movement in America?
Radical Christian nationalism replaces ‘gospel of love with false idol of political power’
Michael Flynn, convicted of lying to the FBI, is fusing Christian nationalism and conspiracy propaganda in his radical roadshows. Joy Reid and her panel discuss this and other elements of the specter of the radicalized right.

Christian Nationalism’s Racist Past Precludes Revival Except Among GOP’s Trumpiest
Rachel Maddow looks at the racist, antisemitic roots of “Christian nationalism” as advocated by American politician Gerald L.K. Smith in the 1950s, and the renewed embrace of the tenets of that disgraced movement by supporters of Donald Trump like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Republican candidate for Pennsylvania governor Doug Mastriano.
Religious Extremists Mix Trump Worship With Christian Nationalism
Mehdi Hasan looks at how religious extremists in the Christian nationalist movement have cast Donald Trump as a messianic figure and threaten to make democracy secondary to empowering Donald Trump as an expression of divine will.
Iran is a country run by Radical Right Wing Religious Fanatics where women and girls are mandated to wear hijabs, to wear so-called “modest clothing” and to hide their hair in public. This is an example of how oppressive the United States could become unless Radical Right Wing Republican Christian Nationalists are STOPPED.

Republicans fit all of the Characteristics of Fascism described below
Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism – Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt
1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
2. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.
14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
REPUBLICANS ARE LIKE ISLAMIC TERRORISTS
Right’s Embrace of Authoritarianism
POLL: Only 36% Of Republicans Support Freedom Of The Press
43% of Republicans think President Trump “should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” while only 36% disagreed with the statement, according to an Ipsos poll
Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator
Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.
Expert Compares Trump’s Politics to Fascism
Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains why he claims President Donald Trump’s politics are akin to fascism, a political movement based around a leader. 80+% of Republicans approve of Trump, even after he has LIED more than any other Politician in history (fact checkers claim over 30,000 false or misleading statements since becoming president).

Norm Ornstein, Emeritus scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, and Raymond Smock, former historian of the U.S. House of Representatives, speak to Ali Velshi about the unprecedented levels of disorder and chaotic infighting gripping the U.S. House of Representatives after more than two weeks without a speaker and what methods could be used to resolve it.
2010 GOP House of Representatives: 2nd Least Productive in History
On Face the Nation, Speaker John Boehner was asked about his record of presiding over the least productive and least popular Congress in history. He responded by defending the obstructionist policies of far-right Republicans and said that Congress should be, “judged on how many laws we repeal.” If you ever had any doubts, this confirms it — Republicans would rather obstruct than govern.
The 113th Republican Majority House of Representatives is the Least Productive in History. When Democrats had control of the house, senate and presidency in 2008 they got a lot accomplished. Most of the bills passed benefited regular Americans.
That’s because Democrats represents regular Americans and Republicans represents the rich and radical right wing.
GOP Party of Treason & Traitors
Treasonous conversations held in Trump’s Oval Office about seizing ballot boxes before January 6, and then declaring martial law only hours before Biden’s sworn in as president. General Michael Flynn, Congressman Ralph Norman and the My Pillow Guy were in serious talks with Trump to overthrow our government (as reported by David Feldman)
Trump and Republicans Engaged in Sedition, Insurrection and Treason by a coup d’etat, inciting riots & violence, causing 5 deaths by brainwashed supporters to make Trump an UN-elected Dictator by stopping the certification of Democratically Elected Joe Biden.
Trump & Republicans engaged in Sedition, Insurrection and Treason by lying about the 2020 election being “Rigged” and “Stolen”, then incited violence, chaos, rioting wrecking havoc, destruction and deaths at the United States Capital to overturn the United States Government and overturn the 2020 election to make Trump an UN-elected Dictator.
Republicans have proven… they’re Anti-Democratic, Fascist, Seditious, Treasonous Traitors who support the most Lawless and Worst President in History.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Regrets That January 6th Wasn’t Successful
Marjorie Taylor Greene made a string of controversial statements this week, including telling the world that her Party is a “complete failure.” But it was her comments about January 6th that stood out the most. Greene lamented in a speech that January 6th didn’t go her way because Donald Trump didn’t get to continue playing President. Even if her comments aren’t about the insurrection, they should still be considered treasonous for supporting the overthrow of the duly elected government, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.
Trump hopes stock market crashes under Biden
Trump proves to be an Unpatriotic Traitor, putting his political interests above Americans by hoping the Stock Market crashes under Biden
Trump constantly praising Putin is Treasonous because Putin is murderous dictator responsible for thousands of deaths due to his unprovoked war against Ukraine and he’s a sworn enemy who is dedicated to our destruction, who has nuclear weapons ready to launch and aimed at our country.
Trump is a Traitor
Trump Kissed Putin’s ass during the entire time he was President
Trump had secret meetings with Putin in which he demanded no notes or records be kept. This has never happen before with past presidents, and raise concerns of inappropriate quid pro quo agreements.
Trump was told that Putin had put bounties on American soldiers to be killed by the Taliban in Afghanistan and he did NOTHING. Any yet, most Republicans are continuing to support and defend this TRAITOR
Trump proves to be an Unpatriotic Traitor by inviting an attack by Putin & Russia against NATO, while Republicans do and say NOTHING. An attack on a NATO country would require a response from the United States which would put our troops in harms way.
Republicans Repeating Russian Propaganda
GOP Rep. Mike Turner said Sunday that Russian propaganda has taken hold among some of his House Republican colleagues and is even “being uttered on the House floor.” Rep. Turner made his comments while on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Trump and Republicans has been praising Murderous Dictator of Russia Putin for years, which at this very moment is MURDERING innocent people in Ukraine and bombing their cities into rubble… a peaceful country which did nothing to deserve being invaded and attacked by Russia.
Putin has proven himself to be a barbaric war criminal, which Radical Right-Wing “Conservative” Republicans… Trump, Mike Pompeo, FOX, Tucker Carlson and Right Wing Media praised while disparaging President Joe Biden.
Trump was complicit in Espionage when he said; Russia: “If you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press”. It’s clear Russia was listening because within hours, Wikileaks released 8,000 DNC emails. The DNC was hacked by two groups that linked to senior levels of the Russian government.

John Bolton: Trump Is a Putin-Loving Moron Who Thought Finland Was Part of Russia
The former national security adviser also said Tuesday that Trump complained about all the sanctions his administration put on Russsia, and did nothing to deter Putin from invading Ukraine.
Per the above article: John Bolton: Trump Is a Putin-Loving Moron Who Thought Finland Was Part of Russia
“Donald Trump has devoted much of his last week to rewriting history when it comes to his relationship with Russia, Ukraine, and NATO. Among other things, the former president has claimed that Vladimir Putin “never would have” invaded Ukraine on his watch; that there “would be no NATO” if it wasn‘t for him; and that he generously armed Ukraine “when the previous administration was sending blankets.” These statements, of course, are lies. When it comes to NATO, Trump had to be convinced not to destroy the organization. With regard to Ukraine, the former president conveniently leaves out the part about how he famously tried to extort the country and make U.S. aid conditional on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreeing to dig up dirt on Joe Biden”.
The idea that Trump was so tough on Russia that Putin feared him, and wouldn’t have dared to attack Ukraine if the 45th president had gotten a second term” is BULLSHIT. During a interview with a Newsmax host who tried claiming Trump was tough on Putin, Former National Security Advisor John Bolton pushed back, stating ‘Trump complained sanctions on Russia were too tough” and he “barely knew where Ukraine was”.
Putin paid a bounty to kill American soldiers. Trump knew about it but did nothing and Republicans said nothing to condemn Trump being weak, feckless, and unfit

37 times Trump was soft on Russia | CNN Politics
President Donald Trump has an Achilles’ heel when it comes to Russia. Over the years, he’s made no secret that he has a soft spot for the country and its authoritarian leader, President Vladimir Putin. Here’s a breakdown of 37 occasions when Trump was soft on Russia or gave Putin a boost.
As stated in the above article;
Trump has repeatedly praised Putin
While he was a private citizen, during his 2016 campaign and throughout his presidency, Trump has showered Putin with praise. He said Putin was “so nice,” he called Putin a “strong leader” and said Putin has done “a really great job outsmarting our country.” Trump also claimed he’d “get along very well” with Putin. Few, if any, Western leaders have echoed these comments.
Trump hired Manafort to run his campaign
Trump raised eyebrows in spring 2016 when he hired GOP operative Paul Manafort to run his presidential campaign. Manafort spent a decade working for pro-Russian politicians and parties in Ukraine and cultivated close relationships with Putin-friendly oligarchs. Manafort is currently in prison for, among other things, evading taxes on the $60 million he made from his Ukraine consulting.
Trump suggested Russia can keep Crimea
Trump said Putin did “an amazing job of taking the mantle” when Russia annexed Crimea in 2014. During the presidential campaign, Trump broke with US policy and suggested he was OK if Russia kept the Ukrainian territory. He repeated a Kremlin talking point, saying, “The people of Crimea, from what I’ve heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were.”
Trump aides softened GOP platform on Ukraine
Ahead of the 2016 Republican National Convention, Trump campaign aides blocked language from the party platform that called for the US government to send lethal weapons to Ukraine for its war against Russian proxies. Mueller investigated this for potential collusion but determined the change was not made “at the behest” of Russia. (The Trump administration ultimately gave lethal arms and anti-tank weapons to the Ukrainian military.)
Trump made light of Russian hacking
Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump cast doubt on the US government assessment that Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman. At a news conference in July 2016, he even asked Russia to hack more, saying, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,”
Trump denied that Russia interfered in 2016
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Justice Department and the Senate Intelligence Committee all confirmed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump. But Trump has repeatedly rejected this view, and publicly sided with Putin at the Helsinki summit in 2018, saying he accepted Putin’s denials.
Trump transition undermined Russian sanctions
After the election, the Trump transition team asked Russia not to retaliate against new US sanctions imposed by then-President Barack Obama. The sanctions were meant to punish Russia for interfering in the election, but then-Trump aide Michael Flynn asked the Russian ambassador not to escalate the situation so they could have a good relationship once Trump took over.
Trump was open to lifting Russian sanctions
Days before his inauguration, Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he was open to lifting sanctions on Russia. He said: “If you get along and if Russia is really helping us, why would anybody have sanctions if somebody’s doing some really great things?” Putin has tried for years to persuade the US and European countries to end crippling sanctions on Russia’s economy.
Trump refused to say Putin is a killer
Bucking other US leaders, Trump has dismissed credible allegations that Putin uses violence against his opponents. Trump said in 2015, “I think it would be despicable if that took place, but I haven’t seen any evidence that he killed anybody, in terms of reporters.” Asked again in February 2017, Trump deflected, saying, “There are a lot of killers. Do you think our country is so innocent?”
Trump mulled giving spy compounds to Russia
The Washington Post reported in May 2017 that the Trump administration considered returning two diplomatic compounds to Russia. The Obama administration expelled Russian diplomats and seized the compounds in New York and Maryland after the 2016 election, claiming they were used for “intelligence” purposes. The compounds were never returned to Russia.
Trump gave Russia classified intelligence
In a shocking move during the early months of his presidency, Trump shared highly classified intelligence with two senior Russian officials during an Oval Office meeting in May 2017. The intelligence, which was about ISIS, was sensitive enough that it could have exposed a vulnerable source. The unplanned disclosure by Trump rattled even many of his Republican allies.
Trump was reluctant to sign Russian sanctions
Lawmakers passed a bipartisan bill in July 2017 imposing new sanctions against Russia, even though Trump administration officials reportedly tried to water down the language. Trump reluctantly signed the bill, but said the new law contained “clearly unconstitutional provisions.” Trump had little choice in the matter because the bill had passed with veto-proof majorities. (The Treasury Department followed up with several rounds of hard-hitting sanctions.)
Trump thanked Putin for expelling US diplomats
Trump thanked Putin for expelling hundreds of US diplomats from Russia in August 2017, saying, “I want to thank him because we’re trying to cut down our payroll.” Putin kicked out the officials to retaliate for US sanctions. Trump’s view conflicted with the State Department, which said the mass expulsion was “uncalled for.” (Trump later said he was being sarcastic.)
Trump criticized and alienated NATO allies
Trump has repeatedly attacked NATO, aligning himself with Putin, who wants to weaken the alliance. Trump said NATO was “obsolete,” rattling European leaders. At his first NATO summit, Trump scolded other countries for not spending enough on defense and declined to commit to NATO’s mutual defense pledge. (Trump later said he supported the mutual defense provision.)
Trump eased sanctions on Deripaska
In January 2019, the Trump administration lifted sanctions on three Russian companies tied to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin. The Treasury Department had sanctioned Deripaska and the companies over his support for Russian interference in the 2016 election. In a bipartisan rebuke, 11 Senate Republicans supported a Democratic resolution calling for the sanctions to remain.
Trump congratulated Putin on his sham election
Ignoring the advice of several top national security aides, Trump congratulated Putin on his March 2018 reelection victory. Putin got 77% of the vote, but Western observers declared that the election “lacked genuine competition” and took place in an “overly controlled legal and political environment.” Trump’s critics said he had given the election legitimacy it did not deserve.
Trump defended USSR invasion of Afghanistan
During a January 2019 Cabinet meeting, Trump defended the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. He said the Soviet Union “was right” to invade in 1979 because “terrorists were going into Russia.” The comments puzzled many observers, who noted that the Soviets invaded to bolster a communist government and the US had backed Afghan militants who fought the Soviets.
Trump praised pro-Russian leaders in Europe
On several occasions, Trump has praised controversial far-right European leaders who have been shunned by most US officials because of their close ties to Putin. Trump met at the White House with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a top Kremlin ally. He praised the campaign of French politician Marine Le Pen, whose party previously got millions from a Russian bank.
Trump didn’t publicly condemn Russian attack
According to congressional testimony, Trump declined to publicly condemn a Russian attack against Ukrainian military vessels in November 2018, even though the State Department prepared a statement for him. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo criticized Russia’s “dangerous escalation.” The White House didn’t say anything, but Trump canceled a meeting with Putin.
Trump wanted to let Russia back in the G7
Breaking with American allies, Trump repeatedly called for Russia to be invited back into the Group of Seven. Russia was suspended from the working group of leading industrial nations in 2014 after Putin annexed Crimea. At this year’s G7 summit in France, Trump pressed the other leaders to include Russia next year. They balked at the request, which would have been a huge benefit to Putin without any concessions.
Trump’s Syria withdrawal gave Putin a boost
Trump announced in October 2019 that US troops were withdrawing from northern Syria. The abrupt move cleared the way for Turkey to conquer territories previously controlled by the US and allied Kurdish militias. It also gave Russia a golden opportunity to expand its influence and swiftly take over abandoned US outposts and checkpoints. Trump’s move was a boon for Putin.
Trump repeated Kremlin talking points on ISIS
After announcing the Syria withdrawal, Trump repeated Kremlin talking points about ISIS. He said, “Russia hates ISIS as much as the United States does” and that they are equal partners in the fight. But Trump’s comments don’t reflect the reality on the ground: Since intervening in Syria in 2015, the Russian military has focused its airstrikes on anti-government rebels, not ISIS.
President Donald Trump and Russia's President Vladimir Putin attend a joint press conference after a meeting at the
Trump spread Russian myths about Ukraine
Over the past two months, Trump has said many false things about Ukraine that align with Russian disinformation about the country. This includes claims of uncontrollable corruption, improper ties between Ukrainian officials and the Obama administration, and allegations that Ukraine meddled in US elections. This helps Putin’s goal of destabilizing US-Ukraine relations.
Trump temporarily froze US aid for Ukraine
As the impeachment inquiry has revealed, Trump personally froze $391 million in US military and security assistance for Ukraine in mid-2019. US diplomats said Ukraine desperately needed the help for its war against Russian proxies. Previously, the Trump administration had slow-walked sales of anti-tank missiles to Ukraine because of concerns it would upset Russia, according to a State Department official.

147 Republicans should not be seated for attempting to overturn the 2020 election
On November 3, 2020, former Vice President Joe Biden was elected to be the 46th President of the United States by overwhelming margins in the popular vote and the Electoral College. Despite Biden’s decisive victory, Donald Trump and other prominent Republicans commenced a daily assault on the legitimacy of the election that includes filing dozens of frivolous lawsuits seeking to have the results invalidated.

On Friday morning, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough and co-host Willie Geist accused Vice President Mike Pence and the 106 Republican House members who signed onto Donald Trump’s attack on the 2020 presidential election of committing sedition and treason against the people of the United States.
In the words of Geist, what they are doing by signing onto an amicus brief attacking the election in support of the president can only be described as a “lame coup.”
“It’s bad enough that Mike Pence and other Republicans at the highest reaches of government are doing what they’re doing over the last 5 1/2 weeks which is looking the other way while the president tries to pull off this lame coup, but knowing is the worst part,” Geist began. “Knowing that it’s wrong, knowing that it’s false, knowing that Joe Biden is the president-elect. They all know, they all say it in private, they’re calling Joe Biden to congratulate him. But they’re going out and again, they’re signing on in the Congress to these letters and these amicus briefs to support lawsuits, they’re fraudulent.”

“Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was written after the Civil War to bar from government any traitors who would seek to destroy the Union. My letter to House leadership today demands that 126 Republicans (and counting) are violating the Constitution”.
The text of the 14th Amendment expressly forbids Members of Congress from engaging in rebellion against the United States. Trying to overturn a democratic election and install a dictator seems like a pretty clear example of that.
On January 20, 2009, the day of President Obama’s Inauguration, Republican Leaders in Congress plotted to obstruct everything President Obama proposed to make his presidency a failure (in what have become known as the “Caucus Room Conspiracy“), so he and Democrats would be blamed, so Republicans could re-take Congress and the White House in 2012, with no regard to the damage it would cause to the American people.
In Robert Draper’s book, “Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives” Draper wrote that during a four hour, “invitation only” meeting with GOP Hate-Propaganda Minister, Frank Luntz, the below listed Senior GOP Law Writers literally plotted to sabotage, undermine and destroy America’s Economy by among other things “Just Say No” to everything President Obama proposed.
During the four hour meeting: The senior GOP members plotted to bring Congress to a standstill regardless how much it would hurt the American Economy by pledging to obstruct and block President Obama on all legislation.
These Republican members of Congress were not simply airing their complaints regarding the other party’s political platform for four long hours. These Republican Congressional Policymakers, who were elected to do ‘the People’s work’ were literally plotting to sabotage, undermine and destroy the U.S. Economy.
Here’s a list of the congressmen who attended the meeting;
Frank Luntz – GOP Minister of Propaganda
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX)
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX)
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI)
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA)
Sen. Jim DeMint (SC-R)
Sen. Jon Kyl (AZ-R)
Sen. Tom Coburn (OK-R)
Sen. John Ensign (NV-R)
Sen. Bob Corker (TN-R)
Non-lawmakers present Newt Gingrich
On January 20, 2009 Republican Leaders in Congress literally plotted to sabotage and undermine U.S. Economy during President Obama’s Inauguration.
If Obama Likes it, its Dead of Arrival
McConnell told Republicans to obstruct from the start
Vice President Joe Biden stated on the record stating that Republican Senators warned him that Sen. Mitch McConnell had ordered the GOP to oppose whatever President Obama proposed
Agreeing to “Just Say No” to everything President Obama proposed, requires a promise and future action and makes mental reservation of future action and that is in direct violation of the Oath of office.
Every Republican congressman who agreed to “Just Say No” to everything President Obama proposed violated his or her Oath Of Office. Such an agreement exhibits willful, treasonous disregard for the American people and the best interests of the Citizens of the United States of America.
These same Republican members of Congress supported the very Bush/Cheney policies that caused America to teeter on the brink of the 2nd Great Depression and caused the 2007 US Economic Meltdown.
Here’s how they all voted:
— “Yes” to Bush/Cheney January 2008 Stimulus
— “Yes” to Bush/Cheney bailing out Bear Stern
— “Yes” to Bush/Cheney bailing out AIG
— “Yes” to Bush/Cheney TARP (sept 2008)
— “Yes” to Bush/Cheney TARP (oct 2008)
And these same Republican members of Congress:
Supported Bush/Cheney keeping cost of two wars out of the Budget.
Supported Bush/Cheney spending $4Trillion while giving Top 1% Tax Cuts; ignoring the fact that taxes pay for wars.
GOP – Grand Obstruction Party
Grover Norquist Tax Pledge is also a Oath of Office Violation
A large number of Republicans has signed what’s known as the Grover Norquist Tax Pledge which is a written promise to never increase taxes.
Before taking office, each member of Congress swears a oath to “faithfully discharge the duties of the office.”
The oath taken by both houses of Congress reads:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God”
US Supreme Court Ruling Interprets “Grover Norquist Tax Pledge”, GOP Elected Officials Violating Oath Of Office, “Sincerity Clause” The US Supreme Court precedent holds Grover Norquist GOP Tax Pledge in clear violation of the Oath of Office. The majority of Republicans in Congress has made the “Norquist Tax Pledge” perpetually since 1986 violating their Oath of Office according to the US Supreme Court.
“The Oath of Office does not require a promise of future action, it demands that elected representatives swear that he holds a certain belief at that very moment, loyalty to the Constitution ‘without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion as well as to faithfully discharge the duties of the office they have entered” 401 U.S. 154 S. Ct.(1971) LAW STUDENTS CIVIL RIGHTS RESEARCH COUNCIL, INC., ET AL. v. WADMOND ET AL.
The Norquist Tax Pledge requires a promise and future action and makes mental reservation of future action and inaction in direct violation of the Oath of office itself.
The Constitution of the United States Article I, Section 8: The Congress shall have the Power to lay and collect Taxes…..
The preemptive and unconditional pledge to Norquist by each signer is a knowing and willful repudiation of Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution and the Sixteenth Amendment. The pledge to Norquist makes signers’ oath of office to uphold the Constitution a fraud on the Congress and the American people. It is also a probable violation of federal criminal law.
Here’s a list of Republicans who signed the Grover Norquist Tax Pledge http://s3.amazonaws.com/atrfiles/files/files/073013-113thCongress.pdf.
Violating Oath of Office is a Federal Crime
Federal law regulating oath of office by government officials is divided into four parts along with an executive order which further defines the law for purposes of enforcement. 5 U.S.C. 3331, provides the text of the actual oath of office members of Congress are required to take before assuming office. 5 U.S.C. 3333 requires members of Congress sign an affidavit that they have taken the oath of office required by 5 U.S.C. 3331 and have not or will not violate that oath of office during their tenure of office as defined by the third part of the law, 5 U.S.C. 7311 which explicitly makes it a federal criminal offense (and a violation of oath of office) for anyone employed in the United States Government (including members of Congress) to “advocate the overthrow of our constitutional form of government”. The fourth federal law, 18 U.S.C. 1918 provides penalties for violation of oath office described in 5 U.S.C. 7311 which include: (1) removal from office and; (2) confinement or a fine.
It would seem there are grounds to remove Republicans who signed the Grover Norquist Tax Pledge which the Supreme Court deemed a violation of the Oath of office. Republicans allegiance should be to the United States of America and the American people, not Grover Norquist.
Republican who agreed to “Just Say No” to everything President Obama proposed should also be removed from office.
It is clear that a large number of Republicans has violated their Oath of Office and made agreements of promises and future action and mental reservation of future action and inaction which violated their of their Oath of Office.
Each and every Republican who engaged in actions which violated their Oath of Office should be held accountable, removed from office and prosecuted. These Republicans are not just failing to perform their jobs, they’re doing the opposite of what they swore to do.
REPUBLICAN Rush Limbaugh proved to be a Traitor by putting his own personal hatred for President Obama above our country by stating that he wanted Obama to fail. This was typical of ALL Republicans at the time Obama was elected.

The Right’s Embrace of Fascism and Authoritarianism
Right-wingers turned Hungary into a anti-democratic fascist one-party-rule dictatorship. Trump & Republicans have followed the same playbook so it could happen here unless they are STOPPED.

“It’s basically saying that the Biden regime is coming after half the country and this is the War on Terror 2.0,” Goldberg tells NPR. “It traffics in all manner of innuendo and conspiracy theories that I think legitimately could lead to violence. That for me, and for Steve, was the last straw.”

How Republicans Are Destroying America and Democracy
If you want to see what Republicans want to do to America, look no further than the state of Florida. This solidly-Republican one-party-rule controlled state is passing all sorts of Draconian laws – from abortion bans to voter suppression to white appeasement legislation – and all of these are items that other states will copy if Florida is successful (while others were stolen from other states that have been successful.) But Florida is going downhill faster than any other state, and it gives Americans a clear picture of what Republicans want to do to the entire country.
Similar to Russia and North Korea, Republicans Anti-Protest Laws Violates Freedom of Speech
Similar to how Russia & North Korea stifles Freedom of Speech, Republicans are doing the same in the United States by passing more than 80 Anti-Protest Bills in 34 States they control.
Similar to Florida Employees being threatened if they criticize Republican Ron DeSantis or tell the truth about Climate Change when Republican Rick Scott was Governor, during the invasion of Ukraine, Russia passed a law which would put people in prison for up to 15 years for criticizing Putin and Russia’s policies.
Democrats has never engaged in these type of restrictions or violations of Freedom of Speech. This commonality is found in oppressive RIGHT WING governments. It’s easy to see that Republicans are headed in this direction and would not hesitate to be just as extreme if given the opportunity.
I’m a Former RT Anchor. Fox News Mimics Russian State TV.
Liz Wahl, who quit a Kremlin-funded network in disgust in 2014, writes that right-wing media stars like Tucker Carlson are at times indistinguishable from Russia’s own propaganda.
Per the above article; “Liz Wahl, who quit a Kremlin-funded network in disgust in 2014, writes that right-wing media stars like Tucker Carlson are at times indistinguishable from Russia’s own propaganda.
Fox News hosts like Tucker Carlson, along with other right-wing media figures, are at times indistinguishable from the propaganda on my former network, RT, a Kremlin-funded cable news channel that eagerly uses American voices to push a pro-Russia agenda.
American voices frequently amplified on RT include former Democratic congresswoman-turned-CPAC speaker Tulsi Gabbard, libertarian politician Ron Paul, and his son, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)—all of whom share foreign policy positions that Russia now finds beneficial to amplify.
What these figures don’t seem to understand or ignore is that RT uses their stateside fame and clout to drive eyeballs to its YouTube channel and legitimacy to its brand.
During the Trump years, the channel routinely featured videos and friendly headlines of Trump himself and his radical supporters. Popular themes on the channel were Trump’s denigration of NATO and the European Union. One video on RT’s YouTube channel features Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn at an RT event, being interviewed by the channel’s Russia-based host, wearing an RT lanyard”.
Calmes: Russia’s crackdown on liberty sounds all too familiar to Americans
Red states like Texas, Missouri and Florida are waging their own culture war in parallel to Putin’s, targeting the rights of women and minorities.
Per the above article; “Russia’s crackdown on liberty sounds all too familiar to Americans We see the ravages of Russia’s war on Ukraine, where it’s as if the black-and-white scenes of carnage and fleeing refugees in World War II Europe — scenes consigned to history books, we thought — have been updated in horrific, real-time color. Vladimir Putin’s heinous war has united the Ukrainian people”.
“Then there’s the coverage of the figurative war here in America, a culture war waged by Republicans against women, minority groups, LGBTQ people, educators, public health officials and just about anyone not of a right-wing mindset. This needless conflict divides us, for Republicans’ political gain”.
“Such domestic battles are a luxury of peace and prosperity. I’m reminded of conservatives’ culture wars amid the good times at the turn of the century, before 9/11 made a mockery of the invented threats and brought Americans together against a real one”.
“Even as Ukrainians suffer bombings of hospitals, a maternity center, apartments and schools, our bloodless war proceeds on its several fronts: Against women’s constitutional right to abortion before a fetus’ viability. Against teachers’ rights to speak freely about race and gender. Against transgender youth and their parents. Against public health officials dealing with a once-a-century pandemic that’s killed nearly a million Americans”.
“On abortion rights, Republican-led states aren’t even waiting for the conservative U.S. Supreme Court to turn back the clock a half-century. They’re rushing either to ban abortions at 15 weeks’ gestation, significantly before a fetus is viable (the latest bill just went to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to sign), or to go further and copy Texas’ plainly unconstitutional law that ended nearly all abortions in that state, home to 7 million women of reproductive age”.
“Texas devilishly wrote its law to avert federal court review, dangling cash bounties to spur citizens to sue anyone who even unknowingly helps a woman who’s more than six weeks pregnant get an abortion. Under the legal threat, clinics ceased most services”.
“Predictably, Texans are traveling elsewhere. At least 5,500 women sought help in six neighboring states in just the first three months after the law took effect in September. Now comes a Republican lawmaker in Missouri, inspired by Texas’ law, who’s concocted a way to stop women in her state from going to Illinois or Kansas to exercise their reproductive rights: Attack women’s freedom to travel, too!”
“The bill, the brainchild of state Rep. Mary Elizabeth Coleman, is now before the Missouri House. It would invite anyone to sue a person who helps a Missourian get an abortion out of state, whether that’s a hotline operator making appointments or a doctor providing the service. It’s another patently unconstitutional gambit, but one that could have a chilling effect if clinics in the neighboring states want to avoid legal battles”.
“Texas Republicans, meanwhile, continued their pioneering ways in the culture war by opening a new offensive, against transgender kids and their families”.
“Gov. Greg Abbott, acting late last month on a nonbinding legal opinion from Atty. Gen. Ken Paxton, directed state officials to investigate parents for abuse if they help a child medically transition to the gender with which the youth identifies. The Texans sprung this plan just as the Journal of the American Medical Assn. reported that gender-affirming medical care made teenagers 60% less likely to suffer depression and 73% less likely to be suicidal”.
“By this week, Texas had opened investigations of at least five families. What a blatant invasion of personal liberty from the state that unironically advertises “Don’t mess with Texas.” As if transgender kids and their parents don’t deal with enough stigma, bullying and even the threat of violence”.
“Yet copy-cat Idaho aims to one-up Texas: Its state House voted Tuesday to make it a felony for a doctor to help transgender children. A record 147 bills against transgender people were introduced in 34 states last year, according to the pro-LGBTQ Human Rights Campaign, including successful measures to bar transgender girls from women’s sports”.
“LGBTQ issues more broadly are the target — along with racial justice and history – of a raft of so-called “parental rights” bills to restrict what teachers can say or assign in classrooms from pre-K through college”.
“Florida’s legislature sent its “Don’t Say Gay” bill to DeSantis, as well as a separate measure limiting what teachers and employers can say about race and diversity. Georgia’s Republican lawmakers are moving to ban the teaching of what they vaguely call “divisive concepts” about race”.
“PEN America, which keeps a monthly roundup, says there’s “no recent parallel” to the number of book bans and “educational gag orders.” The organization laments “a willingness, and even eagerness, to bring the weight and power of government to bear on controlling classroom speech.”
“In Russia, Putin is cracking down further on speech, too, just as he’s moved against gay rights and abortion. If Republicans in this country truly stood for freedom, their domestic agenda wouldn’t have so much in common with his”.
Title from Youtube; “Why Tucker Carlson pretends to hate elites”
Description from Youtube; “Tucker Carlson has branded himself as a populist, condemning the “liberal elite” that he argues makes up the American “ruling class.” It’s a good shtick, and it’s helped him stand out from other Fox News hosts. But while Tucker decries the “elite” on his show, he regularly ignores major stories of Republican economic policies that harm the working class, choosing instead to focus on bogus culture war stories.
That isn’t an accident. Carlson’s show is meant to distract Fox News viewers from Republican economics, channeling their frustration and anger at groups that don’t deserve it. That kind of misdirection produces what Marxist theorists call “false consciousness”: when workers are tricked into accepting their own exploitation”.
When spoiled kids whine
Saying the White House “can’t not give us a pass,” Tucker Carlson shows why we need a better class of rich people
Per the above article; “Nothing says “spoiled child” like Tucker Carlson. The son of wealthy Republican William Carlson, a former Los Angeles television anchor who became the head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and a U.S. ambassador, Carlson used his family connections to sail into journalism. Except for a brief moment when he seemed willing to ruffle the powers that be – his first George W. Bush profile for Talk magazine comes to mind – he has done nothing but afflict the afflicted and comfort the comfortable in his career. Examples of his partisan ethics abound, but my favorite was his shrill defense of Scooter Libby in the Valerie Plame case while never acknowledging that his father headed Libby’s defense fund. Wealthy Republican family values at work”.
Here’s a photo of Tucker Carlson’s home. Per an article at velvetropes.com/backstage/tucker-carlson-house; “Tucker Carlson’s house is 7,400 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. In the fully-enclosed backyard is a 40-foot heated swimming pool, a veranda, a flagstone terrace, a lush lawn, and perfectly manicured mature landscaping”.
According to celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/republicans/tucker-carlson-net-worth is worth $30 Million and his salary is $6 Million a year.
When you look at the lavish lifestyle Carlson lives, one can see why he has a vested interest to do / say what-ever it takes to maintain his lavish lifestyle. Also, having a show watched by millions of people carries enormous prestige, to the extent some people might be willing to abandon allegiance to county & decency.
Republicans represent & protect the RICH and Corporate America. They have unlimited money to spend to buy the type of America THEY want. Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoch, a Multi-Billionaire worth $22.4 billion as of July 2021, according to wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Murdoch.
As part of the RULING CLASS, he has a vested interest in “Controlling the masses” and making sure as many people as possible watch his channel and vote for Republicans, so they can stay in power and cram what they want down the throats of Average Joe Americans.

Per the above article: “Democracies don’t turn into fascist oligarchies by being invaded or losing wars. It always happens from within, and is always driven by an alliance between demagogic, populist politicians and some of the very wealthiest people in society.
Step one for these right-wing politicians and the morbidly rich who support them is to pit one group of people within the nation against others: Marginalize and demonize minorities, deny them access to the levers of democratic power while openly attacking them for trying to usurp the privileges and prerequisites of the majority”.

Bill to Require Florida Resident ID for Social Media
The dark side of Florida’s HB 1 it that it will require everyone using Social Media in the State of Florida to submit a photo ID, making it much easier for Florida officials to identify and go after anyone who posts things on Social Media which they don’t like.
We’ve already seen how Florida Republicans attacks entities which exercise their Constitutional Rights to Freedom of Speech, such as Disney and the Tampa Bay Rays.
This bill violates every principle of Republican “limited government”. Florida Republicans are taking away people’s freedom and attempting to use BIG GOVERNMENT to micro-manage and legislate every aspect of their lives. This is all part of Republican’s “slippery slope” to take away your Liberty, Freedom and Democracy… piece by piece… until they’ve completely turned the United States into a Fascist Dictatorship like Russia, North Korea and Hungary.
“It is only the third week of the Florida Legislative session, and lawmakers have pushed for an extensive censorship bill to be heard on the House floor.
House Bill 1 (HB 1) would stifle freedom of expression online by requiring all users, including adults, to verify their age by providing a photo ID or other age verification documentation before using existing social media accounts or creating new ones.
If passed, HB 1 would result in the prohibition of minors under the age of 16 from creating social media accounts on specific platforms and the deletion of any existing accounts, regardless of parental consent for their children to use such platforms.
The bill raises serious constitutional concerns regarding freedom of speech and privacy. Age-verification requirements create unwarranted barriers between users – adults and minors alike – and their constitutional right to express themselves online. It also forces adults to sacrifice their anonymity to engage in constitutionally protected speech, chilling their freedom of expression.
“Let’s be clear: This bill is not about prioritizing the health and well-being of minors. HB 1 is unconstitutional censorship.”

Florida Bill HB 1 VIOLATES First Amendment Rights to Anonymity and Freedom of Speech
Per the above article: “Anonymity is a core First Amendment value that enables the dissemination of ideas, participation in the democratic process, membership in political associations, the practice of religious beliefs, and the expression of one’s identity without fear of government interference or public retaliation. The protection of anonymity is all the more important online, where surveillance and personal data collection threaten individuals’ ability to communicate without revealing their identities.
The ‘Honorable Tradition’ of Anonymous Speech
Although anonymity has taken on new meaning in the digital era, its historical roots run deep. As the Supreme Court wrote in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission (1995), anonymous speech “is not a pernicious, fraudulent practice, but an honorable tradition of advocacy and of dissent.” One of the most famous examples of anonymous political writing occurred during the ratification of the Constitution itself, when the Federalist Papers were published under the pseudonym Publius. Notably, the practice was nonpartisan: in response to the refusal by several Federalist papers to publish anonymous works, outraged Anti-Federalists declared that this action would “reverse the important doctrine of the freedom of the press.”
Anonymity remains an important safeguard for political discourse, yet its significance reaches much further. Anonymity is a necessary component in people’s ability to form ideas outside the watchful eye of their neighbors, as well as the government’s. “The recognition that anonymity shelters constitutionally-protected decisions about speech, belief, and political and intellectual association—decisions that otherwise might be chilled by unpopularity or simple difference—is part of our constitutional tradition,” writes Prof. Julie Cohen. “But the benefits of informational autonomy . . . extend to a much wider range of human activity and choice. We do not experiment only with beliefs and associations, but also with every other conceivable type of taste and behavior that expresses and defines self.”
Anonymous Criticism helped make America Great
Per an article published by the Washington Post, “Anonymous criticism helped make America great” at washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018/09/08/anonymous-criticism-helped-make-america-great/
“Anonymous publication has been an essential feature of American democracy since its beginning. It has long allowed vulnerable voices to participate in public politics and speak truth to power. Indeed, anonymous debate was at the center of the revolutionary politics that led to American independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which enshrined the press freedoms that continue to protect anonymous speech today”.
“In the late 18th century, pseudonyms and anonymous sources filled the pages of newspapers. In fact, some of the most prominent Founding Fathers regularly used the shield of pseudonyms in political essays during the era of the American Revolution: Thomas Paine, John Dickinson, Alexander Hamilton, Arthur Lee, John Jay, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Influential texts such as “Common Sense,” the Federalist essays and the “Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania” essays were all published without an author’s byline”.
Every year, during their legislative period, Radical Right Wing Florida Republicans propose & pass more & more RESTRICTIVE legislation to take away people’s rights, rather than legislation to solve problems and improves people’s lives. Examples include;
- Anti-choice 6 week ban on abortion taking away Women’s Rights to make decisions about their own bodies
- Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG GOVERNMENT regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult. Laws like these were not needed since the founding of our country and are not needed now. Today’s Republicans are FASCISTS who want to micro-manage and legislate every aspect of people’s lives.
- Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
- Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
- Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities (condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
- Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
- Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
- Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ to require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
- Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.
- Retaliated against Disney for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech, stripping Disney of 50+ years self-governing authority after Disney stated opposition to the ‘Don’t say Gay’ law which limits discussing LGBTQ issues in schools.
- Right Wing figures installed on the board of former Disney district. This is the same tactics used in Anti-Democratic Fascists Dictatorships
- Retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by blocking state money to their training facility after team tweeted against gun violence
- Florida Senate Bill 254 to allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
- Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
- DeSantis own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
Florida Republicans PROVE They’re Anti-Democratic FASCISTS

“Extreme DeSantis”
Florida Republicans PROVE they’re Anti-Democratic FASCISTS by introducing a bill to eliminate the Democrat Party, thereby creating ONE PARTY RULE similar to how DICTATOR Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary (more about this in detail below).
INCREDIBLE how Florida Republican Senator Blaise Ingoglia, who introduced the bill to ‘Cancel’ the Democratic party uses the ridiculous excuse of ‘Slavery’ when his party does everything possible to keep minorities from voting (details can be found in videos on this site).
This is another example of how Florida Republicans are ARROGANT and DRUNK with power.

Ken Burns Compares DeSantis Bills to ‘Soviet System’ on CNN: ‘The Way the Nazis Would Build a Potemkin Village’
Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns joined CNN on Tuesday and accused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) of creating a Soviet-like system through his bills targeting materials available in public schools. DeSantis has been focused on introducing legislation specifically aimed at explicit and “woke” materials in schools. His efforts have earned major pushback as critics argue new strict guidelines can be used to target LGBTQ and Black history-related content. House Bill 999 would give more power to a university board of trustees over curriculum being taught and essentially ban controversial curriculum like Critical Race Theory.

“Nikki Fried, the newly elected chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, blamed Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration for the proposal. “This is what a dictator does,” Fried said Tuesday in a conference call with reporters. “A dictator goes after those who oppose his policies, those who stand in his way of ultimate power.”
Fried also criticized what she called the “radical Republican Party” for opposing freedom of speech and the freedom to organize. On Wednesday, the Democratic Party called the measure “unserious” and a publicity stunt by Republicans. “The sooner DeSantis and his puppets in the Legislature learn that Florida is a democratic republic and not a banana republic, the better it will be for all Floridians,” the party said in a news release.

Florida Republican blasted over ‘ridiculous’ bill to obliterate all traces of Democrats
A Florida GOP State Senator has proposed a bill that would officially abolish the state’s Democratic Party, NBC reports.Sen. Blaise Ingoglia filed “The Ultimate Cancel Act,” which according to the Tallahassee Democrat, “never mentions the word Democrat or Democratic, but would decertify any politica…
Per the above article: “Ingoglia suggested in a news release that his bill was designed to get back at Democrats and ‘leftist activists’ who he said had ‘been trying to ‘cancel’ people and companies for things they have said or done in the past,’ including ‘the removal of statues and memorials, and the renaming of buildings.’
Florida’s Democratic Party responded to the proposed measure in a statement saying, “Presenting a bill that would disenfranchise 5 million voters is both unconstitutional and unserious. Under Ron DeSantis, Senator Ingoglia is using his office to push bills that are nothing more than publicity stunts instead of focusing on the issues that matter most to Floridians.”
Although deemed “unserious” by the Florida Democrats, many Twitter users are unamused by the proposed legislation.
@Longjacket2: “people this is not a test – this is full blow Fascist WTF crazy! ‘Sen. Ingoglia is backing a bill in FL he calls the ‘Ultimate Cancel Act,’ ~ ban any political party that once included slavery in their platforms from running in the state, including the FL Democratic Party.”

Republican Ron DeSantis ‘God made a fighter’ who was ‘Anointed By God’ is Christian Nationalism Fascist Propaganda
This ad really shows what DeSantis thinks of himself and what a danger to Democracy he is. DeSantis who claims he’s made Florida “one of the Freest States in American”, has taken away rights and made it one of the most oppressed. Floridians re-electing DeSantis has helped reinforce his grandiose delusions.
DESANTIS & REPUBLICANS HAVE MADE FLORIDA THE MOST OPPRESSED, ANTI-DEMOCRATIC STATE
- Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
- Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
- Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights
- Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
- Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
- Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
- DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
- Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
- Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is being condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
- DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
- Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
- Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
- Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
- Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.

- DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
- Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”. Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
- Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
- DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.
Florida Blogger Bill Similar to Nazi Germany & Russian Laws
Florida Bill proposed which targets Bloggers who write about Florida Republicans and Governor DeSantis is similar to 1933 Nazi Germany’s “Editors Law” and forced registration with the Russian Media office in 2014 by War Criminal & Fascist Dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
This Bill is a Unconstitutional Abuse of Power violation of the First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech.
Florida bill would require bloggers who write about governor, legislators to register with the state
A Republican state senator in Florida has introduced a bill that, if passed, would require bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, his cabinet or state legislators to register with the state.
Per the above article; “Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines.
“The bill defines a blog as “a website or webpage that hosts any blogger and is frequently updated with opinion, commentary, or business content,” but it says the “term does not include the website of a newspaper or other similar publication. If a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post, the blogger must register” with the appropriate office within five days of the post, the legislation says”.
It defines “elected state officer” as “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature.” Failing to register would result in a fine of $25 a day, and the penalty would be capped at $2,500 per posting, NBC affiliate WFLA of Tampa reported.
Brodeur stated to the publication, Florida Politics: “Paid bloggers are lobbyists who write instead of talk. They both are professional electioneers. If lobbyists have to register and report, why shouldn’t paid bloggers?”
Here’s my response to this BULLSHIT –
- Like most blog sites, this site doesn’t receive ONE CENT in income. Most bloggers post articles out of sheer passion to express their opinions and expose wrong-doing
- Real lobbyists are paid 10’s of thousands of dollars so Brodeur’s comparison is uninformed, asinine and ridiculous
- This law is a clear violation of a bloggers’ Civil Rights and First Amendment Rights to Freedom of Speech. There will be multi-billion dollar lawsuits filed against the State of Florida and lot’s of BAD press using this as PROOF how Republicans are Anti-Freedom of speech, Anti-democratic FASCISTS if it’s passed.
- Language in Brodeur’s bill is vague addressing whether bloggers who receive no income would be subject to this bill.
- The bill doesn’t make it made clear if this law would retroactively apply to existing posts or only new ones.
- The bill doesn’t make it made clear if this law would apply to blogs located only in Florida or throughout the United States
- This law would be difficult to enforce. Almost all website owners’ data is hidden (and that’s perfectly legal). Therefore, there’s almost no way Florida officials could tell which blogs are in Florida and which are out of state. Attempts to enforce this law would likely result in harassment of website owners and the response will be lawsuits, more public outrage and more bad press for DeSantis and Florida Republicans.
- Most bloggers will not register with the state of Florida so they can be placed on a “enemies list” and harassed. DeSantis has proven, he’s an out-of-control Wannabe Hitler Dictator with a Napoleonic Complex who retaliates against anyone who criticizes him. (e.g. Retaliation against Disney, Tampa Bay Rays, Berating Students for wearing masks & Florida Police raiding the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data).
This bill violates every principle of Republican “limited government” policies. It reinforces the public perception that Florida Republicans are Anti-Democratic Authoritarian Fascists who are taking away people’s freedom and attempting to use BIG GOVERNMENT to micro-manage and legislate every aspect of people’s lives.
Ron Kuby, a First Amendment lawyer in New York, said the law would not survive a court challenge if it is passed. “It’s hard to imagine a proposal that would be more violative of the First Amendment,” Kuby said. “We don’t register journalists. People who write cannot be forced to register”
Florida Republicans, ARROGANT and DRUNK with power, believe they can pass Unconstitutional Laws with impunity. Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich who was indicted on corruption charges in 2009, proves that State Officials CAN be held accountable and arrested for Abuse of Power.
Complaints WILL be filed to the Attorney General of United States Department of Justice and President Biden for Abuse of Power against Florida Republicans if this unconstitutional law is passed.

“After paying InfoWars blogger $37K, Florida Rep. Jason Brodeur files bill requiring bloggers to register with state”. It appear Brodeu’s motivation for creating this bill was retribution against bloggers as detailed in the article above.
Florida’s Dangerous Anti-Blogger Bill Is Blatantly Unconstitutional
Contrary to what Gov. Ron DeSantis might believe, the Constitution still applies in Florida.
Per the above article: “Contrary to what Ron DeSantis might believe, the Constitution still applies in Florida. It’s hard to think of any legislation that’s more in violation of the First Amendment than this bill from the governor’s allies. That said, it’s not surprising that the same politicians who favor banning books from public schools and libraries and removing any mention of slavery and racial injustice from courses at state universities would want to further restrict free speech and press freedom in this way.
“This draconian legislation attacking the rights of journalists and other media makers represents a frightening new strain of authoritarianism in the United States. Whether it’s Texas legislation that would ban internet providers from connecting to websites offering abortion information or moves to take away people’s right to protest in Georgia, efforts to undermine our constitutional freedoms are finding a foothold in GOP-controlled states across the country.
“When people believe their voices aren’t being heard in mainstream forums and their rights aren’t being upheld by politicians they often take to alternative means — including blogging — to express their opinions and be heard. The Florida legislation and other bills like it are clearly designed to silence these dissenting voices and those of others who aren’t represented in more traditional political arenas.
“Florida’s anti-blogger bill is part of a larger culture war that’s driven by disinformation and intent on dividing our country and silencing the opinions of people without power. This dangerous legislation should be deep-sixed long before it ever reaches a courtroom. Bills like this are blatantly unconstitutional, deeply un-American and completely unjust. We have to fight such horrible bills and call out the politicians pushing them, who seek to entrench the views and prejudices of a privileged few while stripping away the rights of everyone else.”
Florida to CREATE REGISTRY of Bloggers Who Criticize Ron DeSantis!
Jesse talks about an insanely fascistic bill being proposed in Florida, requiring bloggers (who criticize the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature) to register with the government. This is a clear and flagrant violation of the 1st Amendment and a dangerous departure from liberal democracy!
Florida Moves One Step Closer to Full Fascism
Florida Republican Jason Brodeur wants any blogger who write about Ron DeSantis to register with the state.
Florida Republicans Get Closer To Making It ILLEGAL To Criticize Ron DeSantis
A Republican lawmaker in Florida has introduced legislation that would require any “blogger” that publishes a story about Governor DeSantis or any member of his administration or the state legislature to register with the state. The writer would have to file monthly reports of what they wrote, who published it, and who paid them. This is a step in the direction of making it illegal to criticize the state’s government, as Farron Cousins explains.
RED ALERT: Florida Republicans want to force bloggers to “register” with the state
DeSantis’ Putin tactics with crackdown on media
A controversial new proposal in Ron DeSantis’s Florida would require bloggers who write about DeSantis or other state government officials to register with the state and disclose who’s paying them and how much. Critics say it’s all part of a larger DeSantis crusade against free speech and the press and even comparing it to a Putin law.
Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State
Critics worry that the state will use the laws to silence critics in the country, which already has severely restricted free speech freedoms.
Per the article above: “Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State” is similar to how DeSantis and Florida Republicans want to silence critics by making it easier to SUE them.
Similar to Florida Employees being threatened if they criticize Republican Ron DeSantis or tell the truth about Climate Change when Republican Rick Scott was Governor, during the invasion of Ukraine, Russia passed a law which would put people in prison for up to 15 years for criticizing Putin and Russia’s policies.
Democrats has never engaged in these type of restrictions or violations of Freedom of Speech. This commonality is found in oppressive RIGHT WING governments. It’s easy to see that Republicans are headed in this direction and would not hesitate to be just as extreme if given the opportunity.
Florida Republican Proposes Bill To Make It Easier For Ron DeSantis To Sue His Critics
A Republican Representative in the Florida statehouse has put forth legislation that would significantly weaken libel laws, and critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Legal scholars have trashed the bill, pointing out that a state cannot legally have different thresholds than federal legislation, making this bill all the more confusing.
Thom Hartmann explains how Victor Orbán and his Radical Right-Wing Party took over the once Democratic government in Hungary and turned it into a Anti-democratic Authoritarian Fascist One-Party-Rule Dictatorship where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and praise for Victor Orbán Propaganda is seen everywhere.

Florida Republicans PUNISH Disney for Exercising 1st Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by criticizing Florida Republican’s “Don’t say Gay” law
When Disney’s chief executive Bob Chapek exercised his First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by criticizing the “Don’t say Gay” law, DeSantis and Florida Republicans RETALIATED by revoking Disney World’s designation as a special tax district which allowed Disney to self-govern the 25,000-acre resort since its founding. Using the Government to Punish people who speaks out against Government policies is Anti-Democratic, Authoritarian FASCISM
A Solution In Search Of A Problem’: DeSantis Goes After Disney’s Special Status
Fallout over Florida’s controversial new law that critics have called the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill continues. This is another example of how Republicans focus on divisive social issues instead of governing and actually doing things to improve people’s lives.
Republicans “Don’t say Gay” law is ‘A Solution In Search Of A Problem’ which doesn’t exist. It’s more Republican Authoritarian, Fascist BIG GOVERNMENT legislation to enslave and regulate every aspect of people’s lives.

Republicans fit all of the Characteristics of Fascism described below
Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism – Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt
1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
2. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.
14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

Trump & Republicans Responsible for “Open Borders”
Trump & Republicans are responsible for Open Borders because TRUMP demanded they BLOCK BORDER Security Legislation so he can use “Open Borders” as a campaign issue. Trump demanded Republican do nothing which Biden could get credit for doing which might help hem get re-elected.
Also, since Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2017 to January 3, 2019, when Trump & Republicans had the Presidency, the House of Representatives and Senate… they did NOTHING about the border when they had absolute control of all 3 branches of Government.
Trump and Republicans now trying to blame Democrats for “Open Borders” are LYING, and refusing to accept responsibility for the Border problems they refused to solve. Once again, Republicans are literately putting Politics above doing what’s best for our country and the American people.

[thirdway.org/blog/republican-efforts-to-defund-border-security]
Per the above article: “Border security has been a winning issue for Republicans for decades. They use the same fearmongering tactics—saying Democrats want “open borders” and to let violent criminals into our country. Their latest attacks accuse undocumented immigrants of trafficking fentanyl across the border. And these lines of attack seem to be working with voters. A 2022 Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 40% of registered voters trust Republicans more on immigration, an 8 point lead over Democrats.
If Republicans are so strong on border security, why did they just pass a bill that would cut Customs and Border Protection (CBP) funding by 22%?
Republican Debt Limit Bill Defunds the Border
House Republicans have passed debt limit legislation that would freeze Fiscal Year 2024 federal spending at FY 2022 levels. This would mean a 22% cut to non-defense discretionary spending, including a 22% cut to border security funding.
Customs and Border Protection is responsible for monitoring our borders and ports of entry. For years, Republicans have been calling for more money and officers to secure our southern border, but their bill does the exact opposite—it would cut CBP’s budget by $4 billion, resulting in the loss of 2,400 officers. Cuts would also mean over $640 million in border security technology would no longer be operational. This loss of resources would have serious consequences for CBP’s capacity to process migrants at the border and to stop fentanyl and illicit drug trafficking. Republicans claim that we have a border crisis, but their bill would only make things worse.
Biden’s Budget Strengthens Border Security & Cracks Down on Fentanyl
President Biden’s proposed budget includes nearly $25 billion for CBP and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an $800 million increase from the previous year. His budget includes:
Funds for CBP to hire an additional 350 Border Patrol Agents;
- $535 million for border security technology at and between ports of entry; and,
- $40 million to combat fentanyl trafficking and disrupt transnational criminal organizations.
In addition to border security measures, President Biden’s budget strengthens our immigration system. Addressing the backlog of asylum and immigration applications would help immensely in ameliorating the situation at the border. That’s why the President’s proposal includes:
- $865 million for United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to process the backlog of asylum caseloads;
- $1.5 billion to hire new immigration judges and staff to surge to the border and manage the backlog of cases; and,
- $4.7 billion to help the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) respond to migration swells along the southwest border.
While Republicans are abdicating on border security and immigration, President Biden and Democrats are putting their money where their mouth is. They’re strengthening border security, combatting fentanyl trafficking, and improving the functioning of our immigration system. The next time a Republican Congressman cries “open borders,” ask them why they voted to defund border security.
Myth vs. Truth: Dissecting the Republican narrative about the border
Republicans are clamoring over themselves to blame President Joe Biden for any and every challenge facing America. Nowhere is that more apparent than on the issue of immigration and border security. If you listen to my Republican colleagues, you’d believe Joe Biden single-handedly broke our immigration system and refuses to fix it.
Per the above article: “Republicans are clamoring over themselves to blame President Joe Biden for any and every challenge facing America. Nowhere is that more apparent than on the issue of immigration and border security”.
“If you listen to my Republican colleagues, you’d believe Joe Biden single-handedly broke our immigration system and refuses to fix it. They keep this lie alive by perpetuating a series of myths about Democrats and the border.
It’s time to correct the record.
MYTH: The Biden administration has implemented an “open border” policy that has created chaos at our border with Mexico.
TRUTH: President Biden inherited an immigration system in tatters. The Trump administration cut off legal pathways to citizenship, leaving would-be migrants with fewer lawful methods of entering the country. They cut funding to Central American countries in 2019 as they splurged on an ineffective, costly wall.
It was the Trump administration that tightened sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, exacerbating the macroeconomic crises that have led hundreds of thousands to flee and arrive at the southern border. When they pulled the rug out from various, essential assistance programs, they made the problem worse.
But our immigration system has been broken for many decades — long before Joe Biden or Donald Trump took the oath of office. Time and again, Democrats have proposed solutions to fix the immigration system in a reasonable, humane way. And time and again, Republicans have opposed these efforts at every turn.
One might recall that in 2013, House Republicans thwarted comprehensive immigration reform after an agreement was reached in the Senate. Many of those same House Republicans who prevented that legislation from passing are now intent on blaming irregular migration, an issue our country has dealt with for over a century, solely on the Biden administration.
There’s only one problem with their affinity for blaming Democrats — it doesn’t hold up to basic scrutiny. In fact, between December 2022 and January 2023, the Biden-Harris administration halved the number of encounters at the border and reduced the number of Cuban, Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, and Haitian migrants by 97 percent.
MYTH: The Biden administration has ignored the border and is refusing to commit proper resources to it.
TRUTH: The idea that Democrats have ignored the situation at the border and refused to commit resources to solving it is another outright lie. In reality, the Biden-Harris administration and congressional Democrats have surged record levels of funding to the border.
The FY23 government funding package that President Biden signed into law provided Border Patrol with $7.153 billion — a 17 percent increase from the year before. Additionally, the funding package provided $65 million for 300 new Border Patrol agents, $60 million for 125 new personnel at points of entry; and $230 million for technology like autonomous surveillance towers.
House Republicans voted against this historic funding.
MYTH: Biden’s “open border” policies allow undocumented immigrants to flood the country with deadly fentanyl.
TRUTH: Republicans continue to blame vulnerable migrants fleeing violence, hunger, and natural disasters for illicit drug smuggling, but facts are stubborn things. Over 90 percent of fentanyl, and over 80 percent of total illegal narcotics, arrive at legal points of entry—not between them—and are smuggled largely by Americans—not undocumented migrants. In fact, migrants accounted for less than 9 percent of fentanyl trafficking convictions in FY 21, compared to more than 86 percent for American citizens.
In December 2022, CBP seized 4,500 pounds of fentanyl, the largest amount ever recorded. Incredibly, just five of those 4,500 pounds were seized at the border by U.S. Border Patrol. Republicans are focused on 1 percent of the problem, 100 percent of the time.
MYTH: Biden’s “open border” policies have allowed criminals and terrorists to pour over the southern border unchecked, contributing to a spike in crime in America.
TRUTH: Study after study has shown that undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S. citizens. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Alternatives to Detention Program provides a strong example: The latest data from ICE released on Feb. 3, 2023, demonstrated 99.4 percent of immigrants monitored on ICE’s Alternatives to Detention Program attended their court hearings compared to the .6 percent which failed to attend their hearing.
Not all undocumented immigrants are tracked through this program, but immigrants, when paroled into the United States, overwhelmingly are lawful individuals that attend their court hearings. An American Immigration Council report found that over the past 11 years, an overwhelming 83 percent of immigrants attended their immigration court hearings, and those who failed to appear in court often did not receive notice or faced hardship in getting to court.
Republicans who assert the Biden administration is releasing countless dangerous migrants into the country are not only trafficking in xenophobic, anti-immigrant sentiment, but they are also peddling lies that are categorically false.
Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice
From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception
Republicans Must Lie to Survive: They have No Other Choice
Per the above article; “The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.
Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.
But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”
“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”
“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!”
The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie”.

Fox Trump Town Hall Hides Trump’s Destructive Agenda
Fox moderators of Trump’s Town Hall in Des Moines Iowa on January 10, 2024 made Trump seem normal with soft-ball questions. They failed to call him out for his numerous criminal charges, threats he’s made of retribution, his insane social media posts with lies about prosecutors, judges and witness causing them to receive death threats.

Moderators Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum failed to interrupt Trump with fact-checks. During an abortion discussion, when Trump suggested “radical” Democrats supported killing babies after they were born, it was not challenged.
Fox’s town hall with Trump averaged 4.3 million viewers from 9-10 p.m., according to early data from Nielsen Media Research, while the CNN debate featuring Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley averaged 2.5 million during the same hour.

Trump saying he has “Total Authority” and insinuating if States don’t follow his orders it would be Mutiny is yet another example that he is a Wanna-Be King & Dictator.
Throughout his presidency, Trump has, at every turn, advanced extreme legal arguments and made excuses to avoid the traditional oversight that previous presidents have accepted. In the process, he has negated the checks and balances that are at the heart of our constitutional system, and elevated himself to a king-like position.

Elise Stefanik: Lying, Lawless, Partisan HACK Unfit for Office
Elise Stefanik proves she’s a Liar, Lawless and an enemy of Democracy for supporting Trump, calling Insurrectionist ‘Political Hostages’ and falsely claiming the government has been ‘Weaponized against Conservatives’ after being held accountable for their crimes.
GOP Rep. Stefanik faces censure push for calling Jan. 6 rioters ‘hostages’
“It’s an election year, and we just cannot have members of Congress who are lining up, gearing up to subvert our democracy once again—we need to lay a marker down right now,” says Rep. Dan Goldman on his censure resolution against Rep. Elise Stefanik.
Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and Trump Vice President contender erupted on Fox News this weekend after she was asked about her previous statements about President Trump. Back in 2015, when Stefanik was newly elected to Congress, she told a local radio station that Trump was “insulting” to women and stood against what she was fighting for in politics. Years later, she has vowed total allegiance to Trump. This, coupled with Justice Samuel Alito’s corruption and Senator Marco Rubio refusing to say he’ll accept election results, is worrisome for democracy. Steve Schmidt calls out the hypocrisy and analyzes the transformation into MAGA extremism.
MeidasTouch plays clips of Rep. Elise Stefanik being a shameless sycophant to Trump, making ridiculous false statements and stating she wouldn’t have certified the 2020 election, based on conspiracy theories. She’s a great example why ALL Republicans should be voted out of office.
Elise Stefanik exposed as a Lying Partisan HACK in the above video
Michael Fanone, a retired police officer who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6: “It also pisses me off to see Republican lawmakers continue to spread the lies and conspiracy theories regarding Jan. 6 in an attempt to whitewash that day because it’s politically inconvenient for them to acknowledge the reality of what happened.”
Stefanik saying she stands for “Election Integrity” is a LIE. She and her anti-democratic Fascist Colleagues attempted to overturn and STEAL the 2020 election.
Stefanik saying the “Real threat to our Democracy is these baseless witch-hunt investigations and lawsuits against Trump” and calling his being held accountable for his crimes “UN-Democraitc” is FALSE. The investigations and lawsuits against Trump aren’t witch-hunts or “Politically Motivated”.
Trump’s claims of “Election Interference” are LIES to deflect from his being held accountable for his many CRIMES of which he has been charged, arrested and will be prosecuted.
Stefanik saying there’s “two sets of rules if your name is Clinton or Biden than a everyday patriotic American” is another LIE.
Time and time again, TRUMP is the one who received preferential treatment as shown in the above video. Let’s also not forget how Trump corruptly pardoned Republicans such as Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Joe Arpaio, Steve Bannon and George Papadopoulos… MORE Republicans who received preferential treatment and wasn’t held accountable for their crimes.
No mention about THAT by Stefanik or the ABC Meet the Press Host Kristen Welker.
Trump promoted a video featuring an extreme close-up photo of his face in black and white, and audio of him making an obvious threat: “If you f— around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.”
Trump PROVES he’s a LAWLESS THUG who should be ARRESTED and LOCKED UP for making threats: “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” and “If you f— around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.” This is how MOB BOSSES and CRIMINALS behave.

When the NY grand jury reconvenes on Monday, they should be presented this evidence of Trump’s threats and add two additional charges to the indictment of Donald Trump – one for the “death and destruction” post and one for the baseball bat post.

Stefanik Is The ‘Defender In Chief Of January 6th’ Says Stefanik Challenger
GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik was one of the 147 Republicans who violated their Oath of Office and proved to be lawless traitors by voting to overturn the 2020 election results in 6 states.
Republicans Members of Congress who tried to overturn the 2020 election should NOT be seated or allowed to hold Federal Office.
Republican Rep. Jim Banks and Steve Scalise caught making outrageous LIES about Nancy Pelosi being responsible for delayed help from the National Guard on January 6, then try to blame Democrats for not investigating which blows up in their face.
GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik and Republicans LIED about January 6 to Deflect Blame
Lawrence O’Donnell says just hours after the Capitol was attacked on Wednesday, 147 Republican members of Congress continued to attack the Constitution. By objecting to the legitimate results of the presidential election, he says those members of Congress violated their oath to defend the Constitution with “true faith and allegiance.
Out of the 50+ bogus lawsuits filed by Trump and his attorneys, no CREDIBLE voter fraud was found which could have changed the outcome of the election. This was also verified by Attorney General William Barr, who was a Trump loyalist.
The Republicans who voted to overturn the election
Reuters asked the 147 lawmakers if they believed Donald Trump lost because of election fraud. Most refused to say.
Reuters asked the 147 lawmakers who voted to overturn the U.S. election if they believed Donald Trump lost the presidency because of election fraud. Most dodged the question.
Today’s Twisted, Upside-Down Republican Party… where supporting a lawless lying, wanna-be dictator traitor who repeatedly LIED about losing the 2020 election and made baseless claims that the election was stolen is “Right”. Voting to Impeach him for violating his Oath of Office, Inciting a Riot & engaging in Insurrection to overturn an election that he lost is “Wrong”.

Trump Got Millions From Foreign Governments While President
New report from the House Oversight Committee shows that TRUMP received nearly 8 million dollars from at least 20 foreign governments (including China) during his presidency, violating the Emoluments Clause. Once again, Trump and Republicans are using projection to falsely accuse Joe Biden of that which TRUMP is guilty.

Trump’s fulfilled the worst fears and nightmares of the Founding Fathers
Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland, joins Morning Joe to discuss their new report that Trump received millions in payments from foreign governments while serving as president, highlighting how this contradicts constitutional provisions and past presidential practices. The report raises questions about Trump’s compliance with the Emoluments Clause, designed to prevent foreign influence on U.S. leaders.
Trump busted for taking foreign money at Trump.Org
Trump received at least $7.8 million in payments from foreign governments, during two of his four years in the White House, according to a new House report.
GOP needs to investigate Trump, not Biden
Once again, Trump & Republicans are copying the playbook of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels of ‘Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty’… calling Joe Biden ‘crooked’ and accusing him of receiving millions from China, when it was TRUMP who received millions from foreign governments, INCLUDING China.
Outrageous “God made Trump” Video
Trump’s propaganda video “God made for Trump for America” is blasphemy and sacrilegious. This is another example of how Trump is exploiting Christians to amass power.
Trump COPIED Ron DeSantis ad in which he tried to claim he was a ‘Fighter who was anointed By God’. This goes to show there’s no limits to the disgusting, deceitful & depraved behavior which Republicans such as DeSantis & Trump will engage in to brainwash gullible people into voting for them.
Be not deceived… Trump is a False Prophet… a wolf in sheep’s clothing who pretends to be Religious and pretends he believes in prayer to appeal to Christians so they’ll vote for him. He’s a pathological liar who will do and say anything to get elected President.
Trump is a liar, adulterer, braggart, vengeful, hateful, selfish, mean spirited, never apologies or repents, proving that Trump is not Religious or a Christian who follows the teachings of Christ or the Ten Commandments.

Renowned Psychologist : Like Hitler, Trump suffers from Sadism, Malignant Narcissism & Paranoia
Per the above article: “Renowned Psychologist Dr. John Gartner, who specializes in borderline personality disorder, biopolar disorder, and depression stated; Trump has the most dangerous form of mental illness that you can find in a leader… Malignant Narcissism”.
“Gartner stated that Malignant narcissism is a combination of 4 traits, which includes narcissism, paranoia, antisocial personality disorder (the psychology of a criminal and someone who routinely lies) and sadism”.
“The sadist aspects of Trump’s apparent mental illness, according is Gartner, means that “he is driven and gets intense pleasure from harming, humiliating, and degrading other people.”
“He has actually gotten intense pleasure from [other people’s] pain. He is reveling in the chaos and the destruction he is causing,” Gartner explained. “The more he feels threatened by the Mueller investigation, the more he needs to experience the exaltation of feeling drunk with power, through his ability to harm and humiliate and degrade other people.”
“While Gartner stopped short of saying that Trump is the next incarnation of Hitler, he did emphasize the importance of looking back at history as a means to try and prevent the catastrophes of the past from happening yet again”.
In speaking of Trump, Gartner did not imply that Trump would follow in the path of Hitler, but he did underscore his belief that “these are the kind of people who really can commit genocide,” when comparing the two men.
“I’m not saying he’s Hitler. I’m saying he has the same psychology. He’s of the same type, cut from the same cloth…. He is someone, who if given the chance, would enact that same kind of destructive agenda.”
Gartner accentuated his observations that Trump is demonizing immigrants similarly to how Hitler demonized the Jews”.
Trump Has Same Personality as Hitler, Mussolini
Historian and Professor of History and Italian Studies at New York University Ruth Ben-Ghiat discusses how Trump has the same personality as dictators throughout history and talks about his hateful and racist ideology.
Dr. John Gartner stated; “If we could construct a psychiatric Frankenstein monster, we could not create a leader more dangerously mentally ill than Donald Trump,” Gartner began. “He is a paranoid, psychopathic, narcissist who is divorced from reality and lashes out impulsively at his imagined enemies. And this is someone who is handling the nuclear codes.”
Former Professor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Lance Dodes suggested; “He lies in the way anybody who scams people does. He’s tried to sell an idea or a product by telling you something that is untrue. There is also the kind of lie he has that in a way is more serious — that he has a loose grip on reality. We can say that because he lies about things that aren’t that important. I think what that indicates is that he can’t stand an aspect of reality that he doesn’t want, so he rejects it,” Dodes continued. “His grasp of reality, his attention to reality is loose. This is an extremely dangerous trait in a president. It actually makes him unqualified.”
Even ex-Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan referred to Trump as an ‘Authoritarian Narcissist’. No normal person would lie with impunity like Trump has (over 30,000 times while President), refuse to admit he lost the election, claim he won after he lost, then instigate a coup and insurrection to overturn the election after he lost.
Psychoanalyst: Trump Is “Delusional Psychopath” Who Needs To Be Removed Immediately
Dr. Lance Dodes joins Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss Trump’s mental state as he’s banned from Twitter and why he will get worse once he leaves office and faces legal jeopardy: “The more desperate he becomes, the more delusional he is, the more he needs to prove to himself ultimately that he is still a god, so the less power he has, the more stress he’s under, the more dangerous he is.” Aired on 1/9/2021.
According to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) have at least five of the symptoms listed below;
- Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment by others
- Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
- Self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with high-status people and institutions
- Needing constant admiration from others
- Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
- Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain
- Unwilling to empathize with others’ feelings, wishes, or needs
- Intensely jealous of others and the belief that others are equally jealous of them
- Pompous and arrogant demeanor.

What If Fox News Covered Trump the Way It Covered Obama?
Sean Hannity was all for NSA surveillance when George W. Bush was president, but now he blames President Obama for NSA surveillance snooping and claims it’s a violation of the 4th Amendment.
GOP Exposed as Hypocrites on Presidential Orders
For eight years, Republicans often skewered President Obama for the executive orders he issued from the Oval Office. Now however, they seem to be cheering Donald Trump on for his own orders. House Speaker Paul Ryan, who called a handful of orders Obama issued a year ago aimed at reducing gun violence “a dangerous level of executive overreach,” has expressed nothing by support for Trump’s. Meanwhile, Jeff Sessions, who is now Trump’s attorney general nominee, once called Obama “emperor” for his use of executive action on immigration. Sessions has not yet commented on Trump’s dozen presidential actions during his first week as president.
Sen. Michael Bennet on Republican’s Fiscal Discipline Hypocrisy
Donald Trump criticized Barack Obama endlessly for Golfing. As president, Trump has played golf almost 175 times since taking office, at a cost to taxpayers of $102 million. That’s nearly twice as often as President Obama played over his eight years in office.
Donald Trump and Sean Hannity were both against Wikileaks Assange. After Wikileaks Julian Assange helped Trump by releasing criminally hacked / stolen DNC emails, Trump and Hannity now loves Wikileaks Julian Assange, proving both are Hypocrites.
Benghazi Investigations Politically Motivated
There were 60 embassy deaths under George W. Bush, but no endless investigations into those deaths by Republicans. It’s clear that Republicans endless Benghazi investigations were motivated by politics and hate for President Obama and to discredit Hillary Clinton
Republicans are the BIGGEST Hypocrites on this Planet.
Trump’s Threat Against Freedom of Speech & The Press
Trump’s threats of shutting down news outlets which are critical of him proves he’s a wannabe dictator who intends to destroy Democracy and Freedom of Speech in the U.S. if elected President in 2024.
Trump hate’s MSNBC and wants them shut down because they expose him for being a Wannabe Fascist Dictator, his despicable conduct, his LIES, Lawlessness, Corruption, the Worst President in History, the threat which he is to Democracy and the United States. This is what Dictators do… SILENCE anyone or anything which exposes their lies, corruption, lawlessness and autocratic behavior.
Authoritarians around the world makes a priority of attacking the media that criticize them and notes that tendency in Donald Trump and the Trumpy class of Republicans and billionaires who emulate autocrats.
Lawrence: Media still not ready to cover Trump after years of his lies
Donald Trump called on the government to “come down hard” on MSNBC and not one major broadcast news network covered it. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains why this is a product of what Brian Klaas calls the “banality of crazy.”
Trump: NBC, CNN should have ‘licenses or whatever’ pulled for not airing Iowa speech
Former President Trump says NBC and CNN should be taken off the air for their decision to not air in full the speech he gave in Iowa following his win in Monday’s caucuses. “We were talking about her show and how corrupt the press is, and last night it was amazing,” Trump said during separate…
Per the above article: “NBC, CNN should have ‘licenses or whatever’ pulled for not airing Iowa speech”
“Trump says NBC and CNN should be taken off the air for their decision to not air in full the speech he gave in Iowa following his win in Monday’s caucuses. We were talking about her show and how corrupt the press is, and last night it was amazing,” Trump said during separate remarks to a crowd in New Hampshire on Tuesday night. “NBC and CNN refused to air my victory speech. They should have their licenses or whatever they have: Take it away.”
“There is a reason that we and other news organizations have generally stopped giving an unfiltered live platform to remarks by former President Trump,” said Rachel Maddow, a leading pundit, on its air Monday night as he was speaking. There is a cost to us as a news organization of knowingly broadcasting untrue things. And that is a fundamental truth of our business and who we are.”
Just another example of how Turmp is a Wannabe Dictator who is the THREAT to Freedom of Speech and Democracy in the United States
Trump administration secretly obtained CNN reporter’s phone and email records
The Trump administration secretly sought and obtained the 2017 phone and email records of a CNN correspondent, the latest instance where federal prosecutors have taken aggressive steps targeting journalists in leak investigations.
Trump has repeatedly attacked the concept of an independent press. He’s called critical coverage “fake news” and journalists “the enemy of the American people,” made threats to change libel laws and revoke licenses, and his battles with CNN led him to try to interfere in the AT&T/Time Warner merger.
This demonstrates his unwillingness to respect and uphold the Constitution, and disdain for the crucial foundations to our free society.
Bottom line: Trump’s threats against freedom of the press are also threats against American democracy.
Since Trump began running for President and throughout his 1st year in office, he has called the Press “The Enemy of the People” and news which exposes things he doesn’t like, “Fake News“.
It’s clear, the reason Trump hates the press is because they expose his LIES and outrageous behavior.
Trump attacks on the press out of an authoritarian playbook
Here’s how Trump has threatened the media

Trump’s Threats To Become A Dictator After Election Cannot Be Ignored
Donald Trump has been increasing his use of fascist language in his speeches, but that’s nothing compared to the actual plans that his team is working on should he retake the White House. In addition to creating an “army” of loyal public servants and lawyers, Trump has also said that he would use the Insurrection Act to root out enemies of the country. That doesn’t mean extremists from terrorist cells hiding in the country – it means people like you.

Republicans admitting they want a dictatorship and want to eliminate Democracy
Trump says members of Jan. 6 Select Committee should go to jail
Under Republicans “Project 2025” plans, Trump could order his Attorney General to arrest and prosecute anyone for no reason at all. Trump even mentioned this in the above video saying if he had a political rival who was doing well and “beating me very badly I’d say go down and Indict them”. “That means that if I win and somebody wants to run against me, I call my attorney general, I say listen, indict him”.
Glen Beck asks Trump in the above video “if you’re president again, will you lock people up? The answer is you have no choice… because they’re doing it to us”.
This proves Trump is a lawless THUG who plans to “Lock Up” opponents out of spite and retribution if he gets back into the White House.
Representative Gerry Connolly explains how Trump plans to replace 50,000 Federal Employees with Trump loyalists, gut the Pendleton Civil Service Act of 1883, invocation of the Insurrection Act on day one to QUASH protests, termination of all rules, regulations & articles, even those in the Constitution if Trump is elected for a 2nd term as President.
March 28, 2024 Steve Bannon stated: “After we’ve won the Accountability Project’s going to start and it’s going to be thorough this time. It’s going to be they’re going to be in prison”.
Trump posted & stated on 11/11/2023; ”We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections”.
In response to outrage over Trump’s ‘vermin’ comment, his campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung stated about Trump opponents; “their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.”
Trump supporter Mike Davis stated he’d pardon all of the January 6 rioters, toss opponents in “the gulag” and ‘caging migrant kids would be “glorious’.
Below is the post Davis referenced in the above video about putting Professor of History, Ruth Ben-Ghiat in the “Gulag”. Her crime? Being critical of Trump and calling him out for his Autocrat, Authoritarian, Fascist behavior which she claims is similar to Hitler & Mussolini.
Kash Patel, who may be in Trump’s 2025 administration of LAWLESSNESS and TERROR, recently stated; “We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media,” Patel said. “Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections — we’re going to come after you.

Hillsdale College Right Wing Agenda
Sources in the above video claim Hillsdale College has a Right Wing agenda, creates programs which are ‘politically motivated’, ‘helps provide intellectual cover for the Christian Nationalist movement’ and is a ‘danger to democracy’.
How this tiny Christian college is driving the right’s nationwide war against public schools
Exclusive: In the full-scale conservative assault on public education, Hillsdale College is leading the charge
Per the above article: “How this tiny Christian college is driving the right’s nationwide war against public schools. In the full-scale conservative assault on public education, Hillsdale College is leading the charge”
For decades, 1,500-student Hillsdale College — a liberal arts school in rural southern Michigan, founded by Baptist abolitionists in 1844 — has been known as a “citadel of conservatism.” Its campus features prominent statues of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, its curriculum leans heavily into the Western canon of “Great Books” and it describes itself as “a trustee of modern man’s intellectual and spiritual inheritance from the Judeo-Christian faith and Greco-Roman culture.”
In the 1980s, the college earned right-wing adulation for refusing to accept any federal funding, including student aid, to maintain its “independence in every regard”; in practice, this means it doesn’t have to comply with federal regulations, such as Title IX prohibitions on sex discrimination or the reporting of student racial demographics. (In 2013, Hillsdale president Larry Arnn complained to a Michigan legislative committee about state officials visiting campus to assess whether the student body included enough “dark ones.”) Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas once summoned up Reagan and American colonist John Winthrop in calling Hillsdale a “shining city on a hill.”
But in recent years, Hillsdale has greatly expanded its influence, becoming one of the most significant actors in U.S. conservative politics — if also one of the least conspicuous. Throughout the Trump years, there was a virtual revolving door that shuttled Hillsdale staff and alumni back and forth between the school, the White House and Capitol Hill. (Vanity Fair described the college as “a feeder school for the Trump administration.”) Right-wing politicians and thought leaders vie to give speeches at Hillsdale, which are then disseminated to a claimed audience of 6.2 million through the school’s monthly publication, Imprimis.
As Republicans move into a new phase of their long-game efforts to privatize public education, Hillsdale has become a key resource.
Anti-Democratic Fascist REPUBLICANS are passing Laws banning books, limiting what Teachers can Teach and what can be discussed in classrooms with huge fines of up to $10,000 for violations.

Ken Burns Compares DeSantis Bills to ‘Soviet System’ on CNN: ‘The Way the Nazis Would Build a Potemkin Village’
Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns joined CNN on Tuesday and accused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) of creating a Soviet-like system through his bills targeting materials available in public schools. DeSantis has been focused on introducing legislation specifically aimed at explicit and “woke” materials in schools. His efforts have earned major pushback as critics argue new strict guidelines can be used to target LGBTQ and Black history-related content. House Bill 999 would give more power to a university board of trustees over curriculum being taught and essentially ban controversial curriculum like Critical Race Theory.

Florida public school teacher Andrea Phillips joins MSNBC’s Ari Melber, calling the law “outrageous,” and adding students “don’t have books to read.”
| Republican Christian Nationalists Threat to Democracy |
Trump & Republicans want to turn the Presidency into a Presidential Dictatorship. The reason most Republicans is OK with this is because they know the majority of Americans doesn’t support their Radical beliefs. So they are counting on winning the 2024 Presidential election through the Electoral College, which allows them to seize power with a minority of the votes. Then they will cram their Radical Right Wing laws, beliefs and lifestyles down American Citizens throats. They have already started in Red States by criminalizing abortions and taking control of education.

3 Ways Christianity Was Largely Responsible For The Holocaust
While Christianity wasn’t the sole catalyst for the Holocaust, there is no doubt that Christianity set the stage for the Holocaust to happen.
Per the above article; “Christianity was culturally oppressive to the Jews – In the eyes of the Christian church, Jews were heretics and Jesus-killers. Since they rejected the teachings of salvation, they deserved to go to Hell. Hitler hijacked German Christians’ existing prejudice towards Jews.
Hitler stepped in and said, “I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator by defending myself against the Jew. I am fighting for the work of the Lord.”
Hitler merely played on the prejudices created by Christianity to blame the problems that were largely created by Christianity, on the Jews. Thus, Christianity played a central role in setting the stage for the Holocaust”.
Just like GERMAN CHRISTIANS…. AMERICAN CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS condone HATE, VIOLENCE and MURDER. Just like Hitler who said “I am fighting for the work of the Lord” many American “Christians” believe (because they are so hopelessly brainwashed) they are right and everyone else who doesn’t share their beliefs are wrong and should be destroyed.

In June 1979, Jerry Falwell Senior, a flamboyant Baptist minister, announced his intentions to build one of the most powerful political coalitions in American history.

Within days of the riots Trump caused to stay in power, Trump should have been arrested for Inciting Riots, Insurrection and Sedition.
According to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment Trump isn’t qualified to to run for President in 2024 due to having “Engaged in an insurrection”.
Germany and Peru took their recent Coup attempts seriously and reacted swiftly. This is how the United States should have reacted to Trump and Republican’s Coup attempt.

Trump Literally Stole Documents And Got Away With It
Within days of Merrick Garland taking office in 2021, Trump should have been arrested and prosecuted for “Obstruction of Justice” as detailed in the Mueller Report.
After all of the potential crimes Trump has committed including Classified Documents theft, Inciting a riot which resulted in deaths & law enforcement attacked, Insurrection, Sedition, Obstructing Justice, Extorting Ukraine for military aid, Soliciting election fraud and more, it’s an outrage that Trump hasn’t been arrested and is out running for President again.
This demonstrates that there’s two (2) “Justice” systems in the United States… one for the Rich & Powerful Politicians, and another for everyone else.
Trump’s being free (and not incarcerated) to make an announcement that he’s running for President again after all his crimes and outrageous conduct is an outrage.

| (4) Appointment Of Special Counsel And Efforts To Remove Him – Following media reports that Mueller’s team was investigating whether Trump had obstructed justice, Trump called then-White House counsel Don McGahn at home and directed him to have Mueller removed. McGahn refused. | |
| (5) Further Efforts To Curtail The Special Counsel’s Investigation – Trump instructed former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski to have Sessions publicly announce that, notwithstanding his recusal from the Russia investigation, the investigation was “very unfair” to the president, the president had done nothing wrong, and Sessions planned to meet with Mueller to limit him to “investigating election meddling for future elections. | |
| (6) Efforts To Prevent Public Disclosure Of Evidence – In summer of 2017, Trump learned that the news media planned to report on the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between senior campaign officials and Russians offering derogatory information about Hillary Clinton. The president directed aides not to publicly disclose the emails setting up the meeting. Before the emails became public, the president also edited a press statement for Donald Trump Jr. by deleting a line that acknowledged that the meeting was “with an individual who (Trump Jr.) was told might have information helpful to the campaign.” | |
| (7) Additional Efforts To Have Sessions Take Control Of Investigation – At several points in between July 2017 and December 2017, Trump tried to get Sessions to declare that he was no longer recused from the Russia investigation and would assert control over it. The report says there’s evidence that one purpose of asking Sessions to step in was so that the attorney general would restrict the investigation’s scope. | |
| (8) Trump Orders White House Counsel To Deny That President Tried To Fire Mueller– In an Oval Office meeting in February 2018, Trump told McGahn to “correct” a New York Times story that reported Trump had earlier instructed McGahn to fire Mueller. Trump also asked why McGahn had told Mueller’s investigators about the directive to remove Mueller. McGahn told Trump he had to tell the investigators the truth. | |
| (9) Trump’s Actions Toward, Flynn, Manafort And Other Possible Witnesses– Mueller looked at whether Trump’s sympathetic messages to Flynn, former campaign manager Paul Manafort and others were intended to limit their cooperation with Mueller’s investigation. When Flynn began cooperating with prosecutors, Trump passed word through his lawyer that he still had warm feeling for Flynn and asked for a “heads up” if Flynn knew of information implicating Trump. Trump praised Manafort during and after his criminal convictions, and refused to rule out a pardon for his former campaign chairman. | |
| (10) Trump Actions Toward Michael Cohen – Mueller noted that Trump’s conduct toward Cohen, a former Trump Organization executive, changed from praise to castigation after Cohen began cooperating with prosecutors. The evidence could “support an inference that the president used inducements in the form of positive messages in an effort to get Cohen not to cooperate, and then turned to attacks and intimidation to deter” cooperation and undermine Cohen’s credibility, Mueller wrote. | |
| IMPEACHMENT: ARTICLE I: ABUSE OF POWER | |
| (1) President Trump—acting both directly and through his agents Within and Outside the United States Government corruptly solicited the Government of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations into (A) a political opponent, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden and (B) a discredited theory promoted by Russia alleging that Ukraine—rather than Russia—interfered in the 2016 United States Presidential election. | |
| (2) With the same corrupt motives, President Trump—acting both directly and through his agents within and outside the United States Government—conditioned two official acts on the public announcements that he had requested | |
| (A) the release of $391 million of United States taxpayer funds that Congress had appropriated on a bipartisan basis for the purpose of providing vital military and security assistance to Ukraine to oppose Russian aggression and which President Trump had ordered suspended; | |
| (B) a head of state meeting at the White House, which the President of Ukraine sought to demonstrate continued United States support for the Government of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. | |
| (3) Faced with the public revelation of his actions, President Trump ultimately released the military and security assistance to the Government of Ukraine, but has persisted in openly and corruptly urging and soliciting Ukraine to undertake investigations for his personal political benefit. | |
| IMPEACHMENT – ARTICLE II: OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS | |
| (1) Directing the White House to defy a lawful subpoena by withholding the production of documents sought therein by the Committees. | |
| (2) Directing other Executive Branch agencies and offices to defy lawful subpoenas and withhold the production of documents and records from the Committees—in response to which the Department of State, Office of Management and Budget, Department of Energy, and Department of Defense refused to produce a single document or record. | |
| (3) Directing current and former Executive Branch officials not to cooperate with the Committees—in response to which nine Administration officials defied subpoenas for testimony, namely John Michael “Mick” Mulvaney, Robert B. Blair, John A. Eisenberg, Michael Ellis, Preston Wells Griffith, Russell T. Vought, Michael Duffey, Brian McCormack, and T. Ulrich Brechbuhl. | |

Former associate of Rudy Giuliani, Les Parnas discusses the corrupt & illegal pressure Trump put on Ukraine President Zelensky to announce an investigation of Joe Biden in exchange for Military Aid which was already approved by congress.
Description from YouTube; “Operating as Trump’s personal lawyer, Giuliani wove a complex web of misinformation involving Ukrainian tycoons and prosecutors, diplomats and hustlers, laying the groundwork for just the third impeachment trial in U.S. history.
Along with his associates Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, Giuliani worked to get rid of Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine at the time and a champion of the anti-corruption movement. He also pushed for Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son, just as the former vice president announced he was challenging Trump in 2020. As Giuliani waged his shadow pressure campaign, the Trump administration withheld millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine and denied its new president an urgently sought White House meeting”.

Trump Fires Ukraine Witnesses Vindman And Sondland
U.S. Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman: FIRED for telling the Truth
Retaliation Against Lieutenant Col Vindman
Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, a decorated Iraq war veteran who served on the staff of the White House’s National Security Council, is among scores of officers who have been picked to be promoted to full colonel this year. Typically, such promotions are backed by Army and Pentagon officials before moving to the White House for final approval and then to the Senate for a confirmation vote.
In his role as a Ukraine expert on the council, Colonel Vindman was on Mr. Trump’s phone call on July 25 with Ukraine’s president that later led to the impeachment inquiry. Colonel Vindman testified in the House impeachment hearings that it was “improper for the president” to coerce a foreign country to investigate a political opponent.
Some Pentagon officials say that White House aides have signaled their desire to have Colonel Vindman’s name dropped from the promotion list before it is forwarded to the White House. When Colonel Vindman was dismissed from his National Security Council staff position shortly after the Senate acquitted Mr. Trump, the White House made no effort to portray the ouster as anything other than a reprisal.
