In 1956 Nikita Khrushchev promised that Russia would defeat the United States without ever firing a shot. Donald is actively campaigning to accomplish that.
Khrushchev took his shoe off at the United Nations and banged it on his podium, yelling "we will bury you" in Cyrillic. He wasn't speaking to the US specifically but to the rest of the UN that were against him.
I truly believe that if the Old Obese Orange Turd murdered someone execution style on video his supporters would find a way to support him and say he really didn’t do it. I feel like I’m on different planet than these people.
Not if Kamala Harris is elected. He is finished! And right now Jack Smith's new filing just pierced right through his armor of protection that the stinking U.S. Supreme Court Assholes gave him.
That's right he has no official acts, he is out of office. Harris will burn him. She was a no bullshit Attorney General of the State of California. She wouldn't blink twice when it came to putting a criminal behind bars for any crime. She was also one of the very best DA Prosecuting attorneys in California. You should go google her track record. I am a Native Californian. Born and raised there.
Sadly it will not make a difference to the cult members. Hoping it sways a few ‘I’m not going to vote’ Monday morning quarterbacks to actually participate in saving democracy and casting a vote for Harris/Walz and down ticket blue. I have no doubt Donald is working closer with Putin than anyone really knows. Terrifying. 🥺 Thank you Mary ❤️
Recently had a discussion with a MAGA who claimed US was safe during Trumps presidency that we didn’t even have any mass shootings. Of course that’s a lie but he challenged me to “name one.” I said ok (being obvious) the 2017 Vegas massacre. He directly said that was a conspiracy, actors, etc. What’s to be done with people like that? Ignore them is all I know to do, in the same way they ignore reality.
Trump is nothing more than Putin's bitch and I'm sure has given him whatever secrets he could lay his hands on during his term. But as sick as they are I don't think that there are enough of these deluded morons to put him back in the White House. We have to hope that the rest of the fence sitters will see sense and realize that they kind of like having a democracy and may not be as happy with living in a dictatorship.
Except they don’t believe it will be a dictatorship. That’s just crazy lefty talk. And even if it turns out to be one, the faithful “know” that it won’t apply to them.
MAGA represents "only" about 30 million voters, a small minority. These kinds of reports will sway the non-MAGA Republicans who typically vote down ballot and will make them think twice. It's a waste of time and money to try to convince MAGA, especially when there's no need to.
I do try to remember despite the loudness & msm coverage & bombardment of nonsense, they are the minority, they lost in 2016 (electoral college gave him the win) and they lost big in 2020. I know they’ll lose again next month.
I do worry about the bs they’ve been doing at state level with elections making them harder to certify, putting deniers in charge, etc & I worry about the SCOTUS. But I do try to remember, they are the minority.
Part of the problem is that those Republican voters who don't like Trump and won't vote for him will still vote for other Republican candidates. They can hold their noses for 1, but can't seem to realize they are encouraging the same crap by continuing to vote for other GOP candidates. I have a sibling who is that way.
Call the media and write letters to the editors of all newspapers. write your own post and have it printed in your local newspapers. That's something allot of people will read.
Or both. And we should not discount drugs either. But I say we just let the facts come out and let the pieces (of his life) shatter and fall where they may.
I am always amazed that very few mention his total incontinence since his TV show, "You're fired." I never watched because I've been fired many times and know the pain and uncertainty that accompanies those words. Apparently he revels in those painful and embarrassing moments that others experience. A true sociopath.
Thank you, Jenika & shee-rah for giving us a smile-producing moment of levity to soften a serious subject! We do so profit by a smile each day to allow us to continue the battle for our Blue candidates up/ down the ballot. You both do us a great service ...helping keep our sanity & well being sharp & fortified for the final days ahead! Vote Blue...with a broad smile on our faces... Victory is on.the horizon!
As a Russia Specialist who did research for DOD at MIT, served in Russia and Ukraine during Cold War and was head of Soviet division of major policy institute in DC I have followed his Russian contacts closely and never considered him a legitimately elected potus since electronic " stuffing of balletbox" in swing states by St Peterburg FSB geeks shouldn't count. His open use of a Blackberry in a town full of Russian spies who could follow his every text, his tete a tetes in Oval Office with Russian officials minus any US interpreters, and numerous other behaviors were consistently alarming for our national security. I agree with Liz Cheney that he can never be allowed anywhere near the White House again!
As you being a Russian expert, I want to ask you something that has been troubling me all my life. I am old and retired now. But, when I was a kid, I was pulled out of my family because parents were abusive. Part of the process required them to attend family counselling with a psychologist, who investigated the family dynamics.
My parents were both born in Poland. My dad in Krakow, and my mom on a farm along the eastern border of Poland. When WW2 broke out, both were captured by Russia. My mom was sent to a Siberian labor camp, supposedly my dad to a Russian prison. Then, when Russia switched sides, one of the conditions was they had to release all of their POWs. Supposedly, my mom had to WALK to England. I don't know how my dad got there. In England, they were both enlisted into the Polish division of the English army. After the war, England gave pensions to all of the polish fighters, and allowed them to migrate to any Commonwealth country of their choice. that is how my parents came and MET in Canada. a year later, I was born.
This was the story my parents told me. But, the psychologist found something else. He called me into a one on one meeting one day and said he now knew what was keeping my parents together, and why there was abuse. But, he said because of patient confidentiality (privacy laws), he wasn't allowed to tell me details other than it had something to do with the war. I said I knew the story and outlined what I wrote above. He said yes, but there's more. He said the reason he was telling me was so I could ask them about it. Then, he said he did not think they would ever tell me, however, it was still important that I ask.
The kinds of things my parents did when I lived with them are identical to what Donald Trump does. same disinformation, same reverse denial, same ambiguous language, same dismissal of everything outside of their closed system as being fake (including media and TV commercials), same dismantling of my judgement, same isolating me from peers and friends, and same violence.
I lived in many places with many different people and families since I was pulled out. From that, I saw how "different from the norm" my parents really were. One person whose dad was also in the war said that when Russia switched sides, they mixed undercover KGB agents into the crowds that had to walk back to England that then enlisted into the polish division of Great Britain's forces.
Is this historically true? could this be what the psychologist found? has this happened to a lot of people, born into "sleeper agent" families that migrated across the world? I would appreciate any insight.
Why the hell did Woodward hold off on this type of information? He should have sent this to Jack Smith before he chose to make money off these allegations. BW is almost as bad as DT for gritting.
I bet its in Jack Smith's 165 page brief. Trump is screaming about this. Not everything is going to be revealed till its ready to go to trial. And yes Trump shared some of those secret documents info with a wealthy businessman from Australia at a business dinner in a restaurant. That man called our FBI and reported it to them. He shared the secret codes of our Navy Ships or at least told the man that he has them. The stinking traitor. Thank God Australia is our ally.
Utterly horrid. I can't fathom how our government is allowing this criminal run for its highest office. What a disgrace. He should be in prison for the rest of his life
Let’s see now . . . who is more credible - Bob Woodward, an esteemed journalist who has made a career of digging out the truth, or a 34 time convicted felon who lies like most people breathe, who is so incapable of telling the truth about anything that his lawyers are afraid to let him defend himself on the witness stand in his many trials? I would say Bob Woodward, in the easiest of easy decisions.
My question exactly. But maybe it was to maximize the effect? Similar to some of these folks like the Cheneys … they held back until their voices would be loudest and could create the biggest shift. Maybe that is what he was after. And the $$$$ , of course.
He had to complete the gathering of his facts to avoid being sued once he published his book. He gave the first copy of it to Lawrence O'Donald to report of the Covid Tests being given to Russia's Putin.
Donald might have for some time been considering "doing a bunk"/fleeing the country. He needs a friendly place with no extradition treaty. So bribes to Putin are essential.
I have thoughts that trump is an agent of Russia/putin. What would be better for putin than to have the US cave on its democracy and trump is the perfect tool to be used because he is so easily swayed and in my option just a dumb ass
I totally "get" trump now that I've read all three of Mary Trump's books. Actually, I understood trump by Mary's first book, Too Much and Never Enough. As the twig is bent, so goes/grows the tree....
He’s not (entirely) dumb. But he is incredibly needy for affirmation. So if putin keeps telling him that he’s a very special boy who was a great president, he will keep rolling over and trying to curry more favour.
"The book from the renowned journalist of Watergate fame reports that Trump, while President in 2020, secretly sent Putin Abbott COVID-19 testing machines when the devices were scarce, according to CNN." Just why did it take Woodward four years to bring this into the light?
In 1956 Nikita Khrushchev promised that Russia would defeat the United States without ever firing a shot. Donald is actively campaigning to accomplish that.
Eloquently said, Mr Smith! Spot on!
Khrushchev took his shoe off at the United Nations and banged it on his podium, yelling "we will bury you" in Cyrillic. He wasn't speaking to the US specifically but to the rest of the UN that were against him.
Lectern
Bury you in capitalism were his words. Russia was still a communist country and once our ally in ww2 but now it's an Oligarchy
The MAGA cult leader appears to have committed another crime by violating the Logan Act.
I truly believe that if the Old Obese Orange Turd murdered someone execution style on video his supporters would find a way to support him and say he really didn’t do it. I feel like I’m on different planet than these people.
Or that he “had every right to do it”
So what, right? The only crime he has yet to commit is his threat to “shoot someone on Fifth Avenue.” Nothing matters. He is immune.
Not if Kamala Harris is elected. He is finished! And right now Jack Smith's new filing just pierced right through his armor of protection that the stinking U.S. Supreme Court Assholes gave him.
Yes I like “stinking US Supreme Court Assholes.” I am very afraid of what else they can/will do.
Yes he has continually violated the Logan Act and needs to be jailed for it. He doesn't quit!
Doesn’t this fall under the Supreme Court’s immunity decision?
And why is no one in authority going after him under the Logan Act?
It shouldn't. He is a "former" president. He has no "official acts" after leaving office.
That's right he has no official acts, he is out of office. Harris will burn him. She was a no bullshit Attorney General of the State of California. She wouldn't blink twice when it came to putting a criminal behind bars for any crime. She was also one of the very best DA Prosecuting attorneys in California. You should go google her track record. I am a Native Californian. Born and raised there.

Sadly, MAGA republicans won’t be reading Woodward’s book (or this Substack). How can we get this in front of the eyes that need to see it?
Even when they see it, they’ll deny it.

Yeah, a dictatorship complete with its own Gestapo (secret state police) and concentration camps (to be constructed).
Except they don’t believe it will be a dictatorship. That’s just crazy lefty talk. And even if it turns out to be one, the faithful “know” that it won’t apply to them.
The MAGAts are never going to change.
Then we must outwit and outvote them.

we have to prevent them from interfering and obstructing the election results.
I’m worried about what they are planning for when Harris wins.
I join you in your concern, shee-rah ! Spot on!
" Past is prologue !"
Call the media and write letters to the editors of all newspapers. write your own post and have it printed in your local newspapers. That's something allot of people will read.
The CIA must be asking, "How did Russia go from a feared enemy to a trusted ally." Surely the "follow the money" mantra works here.
He has been groomed, either by brainwashing or by his own stupidity
Or both. And we should not discount drugs either. But I say we just let the facts come out and let the pieces (of his life) shatter and fall where they may.
I am always amazed that very few mention his total incontinence since his TV show, "You're fired." I never watched because I've been fired many times and know the pain and uncertainty that accompanies those words. Apparently he revels in those painful and embarrassing moments that others experience. A true sociopath.
Did you mean incontinence or incompetence? I think both actually apply.
Thanks for your response. Yes, BOTH apply but I just thought that we all already know about his incompetence.
Thank you, Jenika & shee-rah for giving us a smile-producing moment of levity to soften a serious subject! We do so profit by a smile each day to allow us to continue the battle for our Blue candidates up/ down the ballot.

Trump Tower Moscow.
Send the whole fam family and his followers to the outskirts. They want a Dictator welcome to it.
So, you actually think that the CIA noticed and cares?

Read out his sentence & LOCK HIM UP!

I would say Bob Woodward, in the easiest of easy decisions.
Bob Woodward is one of those RARE actual Journalists …not many of them are left.
But why did he hold on to this information in time to publish his book right before the election? $$
My question exactly. But maybe it was to maximize the effect? Similar to some of these folks like the Cheneys … they held back until their voices would be loudest and could create the biggest shift. Maybe that is what he was after. And the $$$$ , of course.
He had to complete the gathering of his facts to avoid being sued once he published his book. He gave the first copy of it to Lawrence O'Donald to report of the Covid Tests being given to Russia's Putin.
Mary, what do you think Putin has on Donald? What do you think his hold is over him? I’d be interested to hear your opinion.
I think he s got debts on Trump all that motivates either one is money/power. Follow the money indeed! 6 bankruptcies and counting!
Actually he has filed 7 bankruptcies according to Putin. I bet one of those was in Russia being that Putin knew about it.
Nancy good question. Mary spill the tea!!!!
Donald might have for some time been considering "doing a bunk"/fleeing the country. He needs a friendly place with no extradition treaty. So bribes to Putin are essential.
JUST MONEY?
The louder Donold yelled "No Collusion!" the deeper Putin's choke collar dug into his orange, saggy neck.
Think you mean…his Vagina neck
unfortunately, media will downplay this. They've caved in about every lie, every threat, every effort to distort facts. So tired of it.
So much of our MSM has been purchased by DARK MONEY.
Sadly true.
I have thoughts that trump is an agent of Russia/putin. What would be better for putin than to have the US cave on its democracy and trump is the perfect tool to be used because he is so easily swayed and in my option just a dumb ass
Apparently there is evidence that he has been actively cultivated as an asset by the Russians since the 1980s.
I read that Russia has been following him since he came on the scene with his casinos.
No Trump isn't a dumb ass. Just cold hearted and calculated to destroy our country. A stinking reprobate rat!
I totally "get" trump now that I've read all three of Mary Trump's books. Actually, I understood trump by Mary's first book, Too Much and Never Enough. As the twig is bent, so goes/grows the tree....
He’s not (entirely) dumb. But he is incredibly needy for affirmation. So if putin keeps telling him that he’s a very special boy who was a great president, he will keep rolling over and trying to curry more favour.
Bingo!
AND…they have the perfect Mr. Ridley to take over when Trump is tossed aside..one way or the other. Tea or Free Flyin’?
You mean Vance will be their next candidate for the presidency....?
I think vance is their current candidate for the presidency. Trump is just the Trojan horse to get him close enough.
No, Vance and the cabinet members will Amendment 25 Donny and he’ll be tossed into the dust bin of history.
“We get all the funding we need from Russia,” said one of the elephant slayers. Or was it a dead giraffe, they so proudly posed with?
Eric the Dumb
Evil family. Genetics show what rot is in that Trump clan. Killers for FUN.
Couldn't have said it better. Could never get that dam picture of that innocent animal in Eric and Donals arms years ago. Just sick.
Trumps SMILE after they KILL something.
Hearing that Barron mistreated “small animals” does not seem far fetched at all, does it?
"The book from the renowned journalist of Watergate fame reports that Trump, while President in 2020, secretly sent Putin Abbott COVID-19 testing machines when the devices were scarce, according to CNN." Just why did it take Woodward four years to bring this into the light?
It wouldn't have mattered because trump was UNtouchable in those days. Hopefully the trials of the orange one will resume after he loses.
Time for Bob to release the audio tapes. He always has "receipts."
