“A familiar feature of fascism is the transformation of politics into spectacle. Fascism wants to reduce active citizens into voyeurs—especially voyeurs of cruelty and death. Such degradation of a democratic public is key to fascism’s project and to its success.”

This is as treasonous as it gets
This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

An ambassador nominee needs $100,000.
Not a loan…a WIRE.
Not to her…to AmEx.
“It won't show up anywhere." "Please."
That's what Kimberly Guilfoyle reportedly texted a Trump donor on Signal, per the WSJ.
She wasn't hiding a debt.

If they’re admitting 81 planes, drones and helicopters worth $3.3 billion have been lost in Iran, imagine what they’re not telling us. The real cost is likely far higher, and our grandchildren will be paying for this unnecessary war and his reckless spending.
