Like many (most?) (nearly all?) of Pres Trump's allegations, he apparently had no evidence to substantiate his allegations.

Good.

imo, Pres Trump had nothing but his bluster to start with, in this case.

It's incredible, the amazingly destructive effect one horrible, KGB-groomed narcissist had had on the World over the last 10 years!

From the time the sociopath declared his candidacy for President in 2016 through this very day, this creature's every grievance became the basis of MAGA's political movement.

From the POV of a 1980s KGB-playbook, grooming an aggressive, racist, easily-offended, authoritarian narcissist to believe 1) that NATO was a scam, 2) that equal rights were an affront to this person's race, 3) that a rich person could become wealthier by collaborating with Brighton Beach Russian mobsters, and 4) that Russia's kleptocratic fascist autocracy was an ideal form of government could have a tremendous effect on destabilizing the increasing democratizing world and so greatly weaken America's post-WW2 Cold War-Era greatness.

The zombie created by this Russian-centric, anti-American grooming process has done more to weaken America and changed it into a globally distrusted actor on the world stage, has turned America into the most politically unstable condition it ever has been since the Civil War, virtually alienated the USA from every one of its NATO allies, and has practically turned America's justice system and federal government inside out.

Great job former KGB-ers and dictator Putin. The Frankenstein zombie you worked to create over three decades is well on its way to weakening America's greatness in a single decade. And if this lunatic continues on its democracy-destroying path who knows how much further this will help make the illiberal Russian Federation "greater" than it has ever been and make MAGA's-America into a Russian vassal state.

"Molodets!", Tovarash Pootin!! ("Well done!" Comrade Putin!) Tu zombi creado por la KGB realmente ha jodido el mundo!

Great job former KGB-ers and dictator Putin.

At some point when Trump is no longer the "useful idiot", Putin will be compelled to gloat about his achievement.

Exactly, but first he needs to wreck the EU and is counting on MAGA and AFD to help. Already, Putin-funded infiltrators are developing "nationalist leaders" in every EU country from Poland to Portugal.

Russian-influenced "nationalists" of Germany, Poland, France, Italy and Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania are close to unseating their socially liberal free-market democratic governments. Each of those countries could diminish the EU's and NATO's unity versus Russian authoritarianism and aggression if their pro-Moscow nationalists win more elections.

If they do, democracy in those countries could quickly start to resemble Putin's version of "democracy".

Trump lied and tried to ruin David Hearn's life. Trump had zero evidence for any of the claims he made. He then made the DoJ lie in court about David Hearn. Hearn should sue the government for malicious prosecution and should sue Trump personally for defamation.

Gotta love how our leaders can now lie and cheat and break the law and obstruct justice with impunity. While Citizens are beaten and shot in the streets for protesting it.

Seems to me like we have a serious flaw in the system.
