JD Vance said yesterday the Dallas ICE facility shooter was a “violent left-wing extremist.” No evidence backs that up. But then I remembered Vance admitted in 2024 that to help the GOP: "If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention...that's what I'm going to do."

Imagine if Russia waged a new kind of disinformation war against America to instigate a civil war & destroy the US from within.
Imagine if Putin installed a Russian asset as US president & he dismantled America's cyber security, leaving us defenseless.
No need to imagine. It's actually happening.

Putin is making fascism great again, worldwide.
Trump isn't the only Nazi on Putin's payroll. Putin is financing Nazi parties in every democracy, and nobody is doing anything to stop him.

Trevor Milton, who was estimated to be worth $1.1B in 2021, was convicted of defrauding investors, and the DOJ wanted to secure over $660 million in restitution for his victims. But Trump’s pardon wiped out that sum. And this week, the SEC dropped any chance of recouping money from civil penalties.
