Trump is clearly so much Putin's man, that Russia talking to Trump is like talking to itself.

Since America has abandoned Ukraine and embraced Russia, it has no right to a seat at any peace talks.

I wonder what MAGA will think of America giving aid to Russia as it cuts their safety net at home.

Window of oppotunity....

I keep sayin' we need Republicans to object -- pressure the Senate Republicans who voted for the Ukraine package https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4464791-here-are-the-senate-republicans-who-voted-for-the-ukraine-package/

Oh, puhledze. The Republicans are in league with Putin, too. Putin is blackmailing them all.

1987: тАЬTrump Lands in Red Square. The Soviets want him to build two luxury hotels.тАЭ

A few months later, Trump spends $130,000 on ads promoting a US withdrawal from NATO.

Nothing new under the sun.

While at it I have to note, less we forget, the absence of Dr Barry the DO and his companions, ubiquitous until the election and reveled in calling out "genocide" Joe, notably absent now that we have genocide Trump and rabid antisemite Elon running the government, and Donald handing Vlad a gift wrapped Ukraine, what say now all of the anti imperialist Marxists.

American imperialism bad, Russian imperialism good.

Here's troglydite Rick Scott's reply to my letter re Trum/Putin.

Dear Mr. Solomon,

Thank you for contacting me regarding the war in Ukraine. I appreciate the opportunity to respond.

Russia is a cancerous, evil regime that threatens our national security by attempting to control as much of Europe and Eurasia as it can. It also supports the regimes in Iran, Communist China, Cuba, and Venezuela. All of them continually seek to harm the United States and force us into a position of dependence upon them for our livelihood. Vladimir PutinтАЩs unjustifiable and unlawful invasion of Ukraine is just one more example of this fact. I believe that the United States must continue to stand strongly with Ukraine and provide the lethal military aid it needs to win this war. PutinтАЩs murderous attacks are a threat to our national security and the security of our democratic allies.

While we must continue to support democracy in Ukraine, I will not allow RussiaтАЩs unjust invasion to deprioritize or slow progress on solving urgent domestic issues such as securing the border, fighting inflation and rebuilding our national defense. Congress can continue to act and solve these issues, which we owe to the American people.

As FloridaтАЩs U.S. Senator, and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I will continue fighting for allies around the world, while also ensuring we take care of our families here at home. I am proud to represent every citizen in Florida and I appreciate the time you took to provide your position on this matter. Should you have any additional questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Rick Scott

United States Senator

Wow if only he put his money where his mouth is. He voted to confirm Gabbard and Hegseth and he will vote with Trump on all his initiatives.

In all other respects, these guys are true beievers.

True believers and/or self serving opportunists. Enter congress as a pauper exit as a millionaire. Rick Scott of course was already a millionaire who defrauded Medicare and got away with it.

Bernie's net worth speaks to me about his character. In contrast to others in Congress, it is apparent that he wasn't bought.

I think of him more as a toddler.
