If only Trump's DOJ has put a fraction as much work into protecting victims as they put into protecting pedophiles...

Trump's GOP is dedicated to protecting pedophiles and does not care one whit about their victims.

As long as Russia is in Ukraine, Russia is NOT fully committed to peace.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 14h

War is peace. Russia is fully committed to peace in Ukraine.

Over the last two days in Florida, the Russian Special Envoy Kirill Dmitriev held productive and constructive meetings with the American delegation to advance President Trump’s peace plan on Ukraine.

The American delegation included Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and White House staff member Josh Gruenbaum.

Russia remains fully committed to achieving peace in Ukraine. Russia highly values the efforts and support of the United States to resolve the Ukrainian conflict and re-establish global security.
