And there you have it…we are now under the Putin regime. That 19 year old has Russian ties, as I understand it. This is so much like the FX series, “The Americans” where Russians infiltrated our country by posing as regular Americans but were spying on our people in government. The series focused on one couple who were hired assassins. They were told they had to produce children and then those children would eventually be told what their parents did for a living. Nothing like indoctrinating your kids, right? It isn’t fantasy because this story was based on real-life incidences. So be careful because you might not really know your neighbors even though you think you do! Still fighting the good fight. Went to a Tesla showroom yesterday with others to protest against the company and Musk. Felt good to do something!

Trump uttered the horrifying words himself during that fateful Friday attack on Ukraine 🇺🇦 “…you will be starting World War III” (Trump projects into others what HE will do!).

Exactly.

And we will be allied with the Axis powers. We won’t be on the side of good this time.

No, we are not under a Putin regime Marlene. If we were you would have been arrested at the Tesla showroom. You would not be posting on this site. Please stop making such declarations. While it might feel good to write such a dramatic opener for a comment such statements actually play into what they want you to believe and say.

How about:

Americans Unite!! or Slava Ukraini!

"You're gonna have to fight like hell, or you're not gonna have a country anymore." Words by the Convicted Orange Felon, that, ironically, you're going to have to live by. Otherwise, it won't be much more than a few months and you'll be arrested for posting "Slava Ukraini" on Xitter or Facebook. Already, campaigns outing criticism against Muskolini are banned from Facebook... They will install a "ministry of truth" faster than you can say the word "unconstitutional".

Only 9, but it's a beginning.

Morning, Lynell!! I think I'd call that a good start!

Morning, Ally! It's been a long time!

Yes! This new format really messes with my "routine". Right now, I am recovering from knee replacement surgery, so all "routine" is out the window.

A good start. We need to continue to hit them where it hurts-over and over and over.

Barbara, I am not making any assumptions or declarations. I do not comment to see how many people read what I have expressed as you have indicated as a “dramatic opener”. My own parents were Holocaust victims so I certainly know what I am talking about and how things started. Please, we are on these sites so that we can intelligently converse with others. What you did was insult me and it is not appreciated.

I respectfully apologize if I offended you. I enjoy your input in the comments forum and am glad we are all together here with Dr. Richardson.

Again. Please accept my apology.

Thank you and I accept your sincere apology.

Yep, hate to say “I told you so”, but I said it before: if Trump is reelected, America is lost, because the US will simply be a vassal state of Russia. Now the question is: how many weeks do we still have here in Europe, before Putin orders his orange puppet to use the American military to invade us?

I have feared Putin/Trump partnership invading Europe. Why isn’t anyone talking about this?

Expand full comment

It's being talked about in the defense and EU press , but nowhere else that I know of.

A question: If Trump and Reps withdraw us from NATO, what happens to our 100,000 troops stationed in Germany? Do they once again become an occupying force as they were in 1946, with Russia once again advancing from the East to meet them on Berlin?

You've got it. 1 and 1 is 2, I'd say.

That, is a horrifying scenario

Tesla sales have plummeted, the Guardian today had an interesting story about people dumping their Teslas, even at losses.

Expand full comment

MAGAs don’t buy Teslas because they don’t believe that global warming is real.

Expand full comment

lol...

But MAGAS do buy cybertrucks!

I cannot fathom why. I’m in farm country, we laugh about the cybertruck.

People are flipping off Tesla drivers at stop signs! 😆

Is there info that the 19 year old has Russian ties? Does he have security clearance?

Expand full comment

They don’t need them. Trump can order that any individual who otherwise might not qualify (I.e., Jared Kushner) be given sensitive information

Expand full comment

One does. It is not clear from reading press that ANY of the doge crew went through standard hiring process: background check, clearances (for all of them), maybe even a drug pee test? Elmo himself is a self professed recreational druggie, google ‘musk smokes weed in podcast interview.’ Most times, civil service interviewees would be disqualified for this blatant conduct, am I right? Your long haul trucker is cleaner than most of these doofuses.

Recall in the first days, they showed visitor badges, were accompanied by ‘security,’ and only presented first names when ripping the place apart.
