Compare what is happening in the US now to the late 90's in Russia and the rise of Putin, it's eerily similar. No wonder Putin and Trump are so in love.

Forget about Trump's connections to Putin, we know he's Russia's puppet. Investigate the ties between Elon Musk and Putin and Russian Oligarchs. That's what interests me.
I wonder how anything DOGE is doing actually helps the average American voter, even MAGA.

Progressives and Democrats may be missing the bigger picture 'own goal' here...
Trump & Musk WANT to dismantle the FEDERAL government and give power to the states. MOST of the most educated, affluent, economically productive states are coastal BLUE states.
Interesting to see how it plays out.

The parallels between 1930's pre-war Germany/Soviet Russia to the current US is striking.
Everything Trump does is about chaos & distraction.
Don't think he's really in charge - Musk & Putin seem to be. At least, that's the way it looks.
We've still got free speech-for now...Hope I'm wrong.

Ancient Rome was a civilization with great engineers who built roads, aqueducts, conquered the Mediterranean and most of Europe. When they got sick, they were told by "doctors"... 'go soak our fine public baths!"
It was a republic that became an Empire run by barbaric dolts, and it collapsed.

Hey. Here are the names of the unauthorized dudes who are creeping into government computers:
The engineers are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.
These are the DOGE boys.

Musk and Trump are doing exactly what Putin wanted…destroying The United States from within. This is all planned, and so is the world wide oligarchy that is coming

Proud to have worked on this film about Dr. Harold Fernandez, a cardiothoracic surgeon living in New York, who was an undocumented immigrant from Medellín, Colombia.
He rose to the top of his profession through hard work and determination to save hundreds, if not thousands of American lives.

Reminder to Trump, Vance, Musk and MAGA...according to the gospels, it is those IN POWER that are cast OUT of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, and the meek, the humble, the poor, the downtrodden, shall inherit...anyway, pay attention in church when the bishop tells you things

Any American child who calls the Gulf of Mexico “The Gulf of America” in school should be automatically left back a grade & forced to wear a “dunce” cap for a year (provided they aren’t already in KKK garb supplied by their moron parents)
