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.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment.

I think many voters (esp. younger ones) are disenchanted and disillusioned with democracy. They know the GQP is the party of oligarchs, but they also see Dems as feckless and corporate. If Dems win in Nov and they fail to make radical corrections to the 🍊 regime and SCOTUS, the US is really doomed.

According to Trump, Iran wants to make a deal badly and is begging to surrender to him because they are completely destroyed but he doesn’t want to accept that so the war must continue and he will bomb them again very strongly and powerfully right after the midterm elections.
