Trümp courted America's oil industry when seeking their financial support for 2024's presidential election cycle of benefits implying rewards. Dept. of War in Venezuela & Iran (both without Congress) is payback from a lying politician promising peace & affordability, but producing quite an opposite.
Yes, the White House sometimes serves as a branch Kremlin press office, which would be humiliating for anyone who had the slightest hint of patriotism or for that matter personal dignity.
This proves only two things.
The Ukrainian campaign against Russian refineries is causing serious damage.
Putin has asked Trump to help him out and the US president obliged.

UPDATE: Despite being ordered by Judge Sullivan to produce a certified list of the contents of the Administrative Record by Oct. 1st, Todd Blanche once again has decided he doesn't want to comply.

This has to be one of the most amazing posts I have ever read. It's written by an esteemed former Federal appeals court judge. All Republican candidates need to be asked if they intend to respect the will of voting American citizens and not the Confabulator-In-Chief!
Judge Luttig has again performed a great service to the U.S. Constitution and our republic by exposing the treachery the Trumpsters have planned for 1/3/27, the new 1/6/21, and wisely outlining what must be done to stop the evil coup in its tracks.
