Again, imagine if the national media covered American politics through the lens of which party actually competently staffed & governed the country when it was in power, instead of covering it as horse races, theater, & grading on a curve for the One Special Boy & the far right authoritarian party.

We discuss why the diesel deal would legally implicate the U.S. in supporting Russia's aggression in Ukraine. We also draw from USG statements on how oil purchases support Russia's war machine. Statements by the U.S. intelligence community, Secretary Rubio and more.

Trump is helping Russia who is helping Iran attack and kill Americans. So that means Trump is knowingly taking steps to weaken the US and bolster Russia and its close ally, Iran. Does that make him a traitor? Let's have the debate.... www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Trump could nominate the worst person with a law degree in America and this Republican senate will confirm that person. That includes Susan Collins, who always confirms Trump’s justices. The only chance you have to keep that person off the court is to elect Democratic senators.
