Not only is this rude, inappropriate, partisan, costly, and illegal, it reveals the fundamentally anti-American idiocy of this administration’s policy of handing over to China the most important economic sector of the 21st century.

🏦 Want the truth about Russia’s economy? Just look at Russians rushing to pull out their deposits! 💸 Over 1 trillion rubles withdrawn since April, and panic is rising. They wanted war, but got a #RussiaIsCollapsing reality: fuel crises, empty budgets, and a #RussiaBankingCrisis.

So I guess for MAGA when a Chinese balloon goes over US airspace it’s a week straight of apoplectic comments that WW3 is starting because Biden is weak, but when Trump allows the Qataris to have an airbase in the US and fly fighter jets over our country that is America First.

This is a war for the truth as much as anything.

Tweet from Acyn that says: “Noem: I was in Portland on Tuesday, met the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police. They are all lying. Dishonest people.” Below, a Fox News broadcast shows Trump leading a cabinet meeting at the White House with several officials around a long table.

I wonder what pisses Trump off the most: losing the Nobel Peace Prize to a Latino woman or having something in common with her.

Trump’s gonna have a meltdown when he finds out that the Nobel Peace Prize when to a Latino woman who fights against vicious dictators, and promotes democracy.

Congratulations María Corina Machado!

‼️ If you want to understand Russia today, you must first understand its past. Then, you will understand what happens to Russia in the future.
