The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Attack number 16 in 12 days now. No news of casualties or environmental impact. I will keep watching to see if there is any more reports from this attack, but this is now approaching the level of systematic terrorism that was occurring at the start of this conflict. #TheHormuzCrisis

Again won't be reported in Western media I have no doubt. But the IRGC just threatened merchant shipping once again, and it is not an idle threat. They have already attacked 14 vessels in the last week, and the most recent attack led to 12 seafarers requiring medical evacuation. #TheHormuzCrisis

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Not sure if the point of Angela Paxton’s video was to cause people to search Angela Paxton’s name only to find out that she helped facilitate Ken Paxton’s corruption for many years before ultimately filing to divorce him on “biblical grounds”, but that’s what happened.

Democrats Risk Cementing Trumps Power Abuses For Years To Come
Concerns are growing that the power abuses witnessed during President Donald Trump's administration may become a lasting feature of American governance. Experts indicate that if Democrats regain power, they risk perpetuating many of the very practices they currently criticize. Tiffany Justice, executive vice president of the conservative group Heritage Action, expressed her doubts about potential reforms proposed by Democrats. She argued that the current regime is simply following a pattern established by previous Democratic administrations and suggested that any reform efforts would ultimately stall without a Democrat in the White House.

Today we are able to see the contradiction of oil pricing as a result of the new systems created by #TheHormuzCrisis. More oil is moving and futures have eased. Yet petrol and diesel prices at the pump remain high. This is a sign of things to come in the new global systems if not fixed.

Yes,I think youre correct on that, my thought was more in that will it force Putin into pressing Iran into a peace deal. Although we know Putin, like USA 🍊, doesn't give a damn if the Russians starve and he has just 'won' an election so believes he has the people's mandate

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.
