We have a former president putting down America's current president while praising Putin

I never imagined that happening in America.

I knew things could get crazy in this country, but I never thought this would be part of it. Usually former presidents understand the overwhelming seriousness of the job and don't get involved with making things worse for the next guy.

It is so sad that the record of peaceful transfer of power has been broken in America.

Someone lets you know they are a republican, expect them to be a horrible, selfish, fascist ass. Not all are, but none deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Justice matters.

Picture ads of Ukraine's pregnant woman at the bombed maternity hospital in ruin while his creepy voice over praises the dicktator as a "genius" & being"smart" ...

No way he'd get 75 million votes then. Nowhere near!

He has no shame, no honor, no morals. Power and wealth are his only values.

He is a top 5 worst person in the world. Putin is #1 currently.

That he was impeached for trying to fuck over Zelensky on behalf of Putin to try to steal our election.

Sadly his Party won't hold him accountable. But it makes them look so much weaker and ineffectual every day.

I expect ignorant blathering from him.

What’s disturbing is there’s a good chunk of our population that cheers his every word.

Is a Russian asset who murdered over 1 mil of his own citizens, he is a psycho fascist so it should not come as a surprise. He caused all of this as well, as did the gop senate and others who are also so obviously beholden to p.

but the transfer was still accomplished /// THIS time.

Next time it won't be. Unless we -
level the playing ground
find a strong message and go with it with unity
go door to door to get out the vote
do everything else in our power.

For Trump, the presidency was all about enriching and benefiting himself - that's it. Whatever the outer situation was, including Ukraine's fight for national survival, it was nothing more than something to scam and profit off of for personal gain, be it financial or political. Nothing more concerned him.

And the infusion of Russian money into the Republican Party has aligned those interests at the same time.

Result? Liberals are the enemy, the real enemy is our friend, the truth is fake and the propaganda is the truth.

We're turned inside out.
