Dear #Ukraine, Most Americans are appalled by 45's behavior, which does not reflect our nation's true sentiments. We stand with you in solidarity. We recognize the injustice you face. 45's actions are a stain on our diplomacy, but they do not define our collective heart. #SlavaUkraini

45’s alleged 1987 KGB codename “Krasnov” from his meeting with the #KGB during a "scouting trip for a "hotel". The Daily Beast published, then yanked, the story; No word yet. The GOP’s top guy has been bowing to #Russia for decades. At what point do we just call it what it is? #Krasnov #Trump

45’s #WhiteHouse declaring “Long live the king” isn’t just a meme. It’s a warning. This wannabe #dictator SCREAMING his intentions; his cult cheers as democracy burns. America fought a revolution to escape a #king. The #GOP crowns one. If this doesn’t terrify you, you’re not paying attention.

45: "He who saves his country does not violate any law" Pure authoritarian rot. That’s not patriotism; it’s the mantra of EVERY #dictator in history. The #Constitution is the #law. No one, especially a wannabe tyrant, is above it. If you break laws to “save” a nation, you’re destroying it.
