Mueller found 100's of trump contacts with Russia. Republicans covered it up. Here we are. trump has been compromised by Russian Intelligence his whole adult life.
America’s Foreign Policy Now Aligns With Russia
Last week’s release of Trump’s National Security Strategy made one thing brutally clear and that is that the United States is no longer fully shaping its own foreign policy.

Farage is in the mud again: police reports over £9k dodgy spending - a refurbished HQ he “forgot” to declare, an armoured Land Rover shoved into “national” costs, and missing receipts everywhere. Add it to the pile: Russian cash, extremist bile, antisemitic bullying - now alleged fraud too.

Trump just confirmed he'll sign an executive order banning states from regulating AI.

It's a huge victory for Big Tech, which has spent millions lobbying to stop guardrails against AI. https://youtu.be/imtkNL4v2ks?si=lA7bwZgq-9DYkij5

UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation.

In public ownership that would have gone into infrastructure, lower bills.

Privatisation delivered low investment, high bills, no tax on dividends to foreign investors.

No end to nightmare without public ownership.

If everything were on the up and up, the Republican-led Congress would be passing budgets, overseeing agencies, and serving constituents, not taking long breaks.

Checks on the president, SCOTUS, and the cabinet would actually exist.

Governance > photo ops.

The new US ‘National security strategy’ spits in the eye of every day since August 1945.

Total abdication of the ‘values based world order’ for something much more chaotic, where USA seeks advantage by creating plight for others.

The USA is no longer a friend or partner. It’s all gone.

The Kremlin welcomes the starkly worded document, which does not cast Russia as a threat to the US.

One of the arguments against the insane corrupt 6-3 SCOTUS immunity ruling was that a president could actually, literally commit murder "as an official act." Trump bragged about it.

Roberts scoffed at "hypotheticals."

Here we are, Trump committing over 80 murders & counting with complete immunity.

Trump has published his National Security Strategy and has declared Europe as the biggest threat to The United States and pledged positive relations with Russia and other autocratic regimes around the world. Russia is celebrating Trump's betrayal of global democracy.

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization.

He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship.

What a betrayal of American values!
