I don't think that these very, very, very weak men are going to do much about it.

You're a constitutionally independent body.

How long until they figure it out for sure?

JFK and Ted Sorenson would have a heckuva time unearthing a profile in courage from the Republicans these days, what with Cheney and Kinzinger run out of town by the braying mob of Trump pleasers.

#14: Remember this Republican Senator and the later revealed tapes? www.youtube.com

Quite a parallel between 1968 and 2024 when you look at the machinations and intrigues of supporting or not supporting a brutal regime.

Just a sample of how wide Russian disinfo campaigns and networks spread - Operation Overload / Matryoshka:

www.wired.com - A Pro-Russia Disinformation Campaign Is Using Free AI Tools to Fuel a 'Content Explosion'
Consumer-grade AI tools have supercharged Russian-aligned disinformation as pictures, videos, QR codes, and fake websites have proliferated.

www.sgdsn.gouv.fr - Matryoshka - Operation Overload - A pro-Russian campaign targeting media and fact-checking community

There are Matryoshka trolls on this site. Effeteposer is the most obvious low-level Russian one, some others are paid or "influenced" by and into dis/misinfo and become true believers, seeking similar "content" to reinforce [sometimes newly found] confirmation bias.

That's how Putin / Bannon / Trump tactic of "flooding the zone with s**t" works.

The NYT article which pissed off Trump didn't mention that son of Steve Witcoff, Zach Witcoff, a co-founder of WLF, became a buddy and crypto mentor of Barron Trump ('DeFi Visionary') before starting the company that is majority-owned by Trumps:

We are the UK, in that they were pushed by people who acted like Russian Agents, to get out of the EU and so weaken NATO.
We are Ukraine, in that they were led by a Russian Asset, Yanukovych, until the people tossed him out and now he lives in Russia.
We are America, led by a man who, as the President of Portugal said, surely acts like a Russian Asset, who divides us one from another, and alienates our allies.
