These times bring the beginnings of Watergate to mind.

Drip. Seep. Spew. Gush. Flood.

What long line of betrayal. Seems to me that Steve Witkoff is a traitor. What a backward double cross to US and Ukraine and our European Allies. I am glad this info has come forward, but that it happened at all is a long lasting "blackeye". The damage in trust is done and will last along time. Thanks, Brian. What a story!

Witkoff’s actions were clearly traitorous. His duties and actions were supposed to be as a representative of, an interlocutor for the Secretary of State. According to Secretary Rubio, he was not aware of the contents of the so called peace plan and became informed through the media. Witkoff’s coaching of Russian diplomats and therefore Putin is further proof positive of treason. We have a responsibility to our allies; the United Kingdom, the European Union, and importantly to the besieged people of Ukraine. Witkoff and the Kushner involvement are not one off misadventures but common behavior of this corrupt regime and their leaders. Our congress is complicit in that they have not exercised their equal authority and power to reign in this president and his henchmen. America is not for sale and neither are we the people must be heard. Enough is enough. Power to Ukraine

If Trump was at all cogent, wouldn't he be just a little angry, a little embarrassed, that Witkoff paints him as a child to be easily swayed and coddled? Maybe he doesn't care as long as he gets a 'win' in Ukraine but has he defined what a win is? Perhaps it's just a chance for a Nobel.

Cheeto Busy Buying Votes

It’s no secret that Cheeto has a cadre of kiss ass billionaires around him to buoy his shit policies and regime It’s also no secret that there is a huge wealth gap in this country with billionaires getting richer as the middle and lower income classes struggle to make ends meet

Michael Dell of Dell Computers is making a “donation” to kids of low income families to the tune of $6B (yes that’s with a “B”) to fund what will be called “Trump accounts” Of course this is not out of the generous heart of Dell He’s been cajoled to make a Republican Nazi “business deal” donation for Cheeto so he can make good with his “Trump accounts”

This money according to the deal will be invested for the children So what makes this different than Dell investing for himself And what happens when Cheeto is not president? Will the money get pulled and go away? So this is just another Cheeto grift to possibly persuade some voters who don’t know any better And furthermore BOYCOTT Dell There are plenty of other good computer companies out there eg Hewlitt Packard(HP) In short any company that contributes to this Nazi regime should be boycotted eg Target Home Depot Amazon WaPo etc etc

If the investment is designed to pay out the proceeds of the investment, how long will the children have to wait before they see a payment? Perhaps that's the idea, create an investment fund which will never have to pay out anything during Trump's term and then dissolve the fund and grab the profits.

The day after the 2024 election, I posted that Europe should eject the US from NATO because the US would no longer be Europe's ally.

We must never for a moment forget that the blood of every Ukrainian is on the hands of the feckless GOP, who continue to circle the wagons around a traitor and his Putin-loving minions.

We will pay for this in ways that will be dear. Where on earth are the GOP? Are they all compromised? In league with Project 2025 and Trump? Is there no voice of reason? How can we betray our allies? Please make it stop now. Is it true that some Republicans are concerned but get threats to stay with Trump? Where is the red line? What will it take and will it be too late to save America's future as a free country? The Peace Plan is anything but. Marco Rubio is the saddest man I have ever seen in the news. He never smiles. Is he so wedded that he truly has left all common sense behind? What control does Project 2025 and the billionaires have over him?

My thoughts exactly. I am in DEEP EMOTIONAL PAIN about what we have done to our ALLIES especially Ukraine 🇺🇦. It is hard to bare. They are wonderful people as are all of our allies. I’ve come down with pneumonia. Still trying to stay in the game. We must vote next Tuesday.
