This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I cut my teeth protesting vs. Jean Marie Le Pen in France. The French are *master* protesters. We can learn a lot from them. 1st thing to know: there is no such thing as "too late." We can protest before, during, and *after* a coup. Eastern Europe did it under tyranny. So can we.

So, the people who've been putting Bibles in classrooms, the Ten Commandments in courthouses, and legislating away women's rights to their bodies are suddenly worried about the mixing of politics and religion, huh?

On Jan. 6, 2021, Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone lay stunned and injured on the ground of the U.S. Capitol building.
He’d been Tasered several times in the back of the neck, and someone tried to rip away his gun. That’s when he heard someone say, “Kill him with his own gun.”

Reminder that these executive orders are for shock and awe.
They are a distraction from bills in the House and Senate & the confirmation hearings.

Today, as Republicans and the news media try to convince you that "everyone loves Trump":
Trump only got 49.8% of the vote, LESS than 50%.
Trump only got 29% of the vote of all voting-age Americans, 18+.
And ONLY 23% of the US population, not even a quarter, voted for this.
It was #Indifference.

Remember, despite everything, the Democratic party still absolutely refuses to build its own culture or social media ecosystem. Because they wouldn’t be able to control the messaging. So we will keep losing. Thank you, our intellectual and strategical betters! (as determined by them!)

Happy MLK Jr. Day, my friends. In 1968, Dr. King spoke the following words, which are equally true today:

We must find & feed the points of light.

NEW: Trump has tapped for his cabinet, two GOP legislators—Rubio & Stefanik—who have each confirmed that Putin attacked the 2016 election to help Trump. In 2020, Rubio even produced a 966-page report detailing this. So there's no hoax, and they know Trump's lying.
