Please understand: Trump's #Ukraine scandal is about #Russia. Russia's been trying to keep its former colony under its thumb—thru propaganda, corruption, even war. Aid to Ukraine is by definition fighting Russian aggression, which has spread to US elections. So it's OUR fight too
What makes Trump's scheme so egregious isn't just trading aid for political favors—which he scandalously did. The impeachable scandal is a US pres undermining US efforts to counter a foe actively harming US; telling Putin his int'l lawlessness spree can stand in Ukraine & here.
US military aid to Ukraine isn't altruism. Russia attacked US. Keeping Russia at bay is OUR fight. Trump undermined that. If undermining US security isn't an impeachable offense—nothing is. And we can kiss our constitution & democracy g'bye. That's what defending Trump now means.

💥#Vindman transcript out! He testified Trump's demand for public announcement of politically-motivated investigation into Biden by Ukraine undermines US national security. And detailed the pressure campaign waged by Trump & allies ahead of the call. docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG…
😃GOP Ratcliffe disputed Vindman using the word 'demand' & got better language! Now there's sworn testimony that Trump's demand was a "prerequisite"—"in return for"—for a WH meeting: "This was about getting a White House meeting… a demand to fulfill his particular prerequisite."
#Vindman testimony makes a key point: Trump's demand for investigations, if carried out, wouldn't be credible & likely result in #disinformation. He notes that pressuring a foreign govt desperate for aid to fight for its very survival would do whatever it has to get that aid.

‼️Trump just said he’s considering going to #Russia to attend Kremlin May Day parade. This is ridiculous. He’s not an American president. He’s pariah Putin’s rehabilitation lackey.
🚨‼️JFC It’s not May Day! Trump said Putin invited him to Russia’s Victory Day Parade!! That’s May 9, and it’s Putin using Soviet defeat of Nazis to get Russian masses to support Putin’s renewed aggression in Ukraine, Syria, elsewhere. It’s a Soviet ReUnion parade!
There’s a BIG difference between May Day & WWII Victory Day in Russia. CNN mistakenly reported Trump was considering Putin’s invitation to May Day. Here’s something I wrote about how Putin exploits deeply emotional Victory Day to renew Russian aggression eastwestblog.net/2016/05/08/her…

VP #Pence’s role in extorting Ukraine is now firmly in the #ImpeachmentInquiry >> Pence aide testified that Trump’s July 25th call with Ukraine was political, NOT a normal diplomatic call. #Impeachment #UkraineGate
NO way #Pence was outside the extortion loop. Recall Trump bailed on Warsaw Poland trip. Hurricane Dorian was a pretext. He played golf! And sent Pence as more pressure, reminding Zelensky that NO Trump meeting or aid unless Ukraine acquiesced on investigations. #UkraineGate
#Pence has been all in on Trump's disinformation campaign against Biden. He couches it as "corruption," but explicitly names Biden & 2016 election as the only corruption Ukraine should investigate. If he's saying this on Sept 25, he likely said it to Zelensky on Sept 1 in Warsaw.

Et si on faisait 1 synthèse de la situation de #Trump après 1 semaine d'enquête en #impeachment et de révélations folles. Dernière en date, selon le @nytimes: 1 2nd agent du renseignement confirme sur l'#Ukraine et pourrait lui aussi lancer 1 alerte. nytimes.com/2019/10/04/us/…
@nytimes 2) La 1ère chose à dire est que #Trump, pour la 1ère fois peut-être dans sa carrière politique, n'est pas parvenu à "arrêter le saignement" (comme on dit aux #EtatsUnis) provoqué par le lancement d'alerte sur l'#Ukraine puis l'ouverture des vannes de l'enquête en #impeachment...
@nytimes 3)… il y a depuis 10 jours une cascade ininterrompue de faits révélés par le début de l'enquête en #impeachment de la Chambre et des infos de la presse qui accablent #Trump au point d'avoir fait bouger l'opinion. Substantiellement.

Trump totally insulted Ireland and the PM. First, he wanted the PM to come to his golf course for a state visit (even though it was approx 180 miles from the capital) and so instead they met at Shannon Airport. #trump #Ireland businessinsider.com/varadkar-met-t…
Then, just as the reinstitution of a border with Northern Ireland under Brexit has heightened tensions and fears of a return to sectarian violence, Trump comes in praising borders and walls. #trump #Ireland washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
Finally, when asked if his trip to Ireland was just to promote his golf course, he said "this trip is really about great relationships that we have with the U.K" ignoring the fact that Ireland has not been part of the UK since 1922. #trump #Ireland washingtonpost.com/world/europe/i…

PLEASE RETWEET THIS, OUR ALLIES ARE BETRAYED.

Think about how many more of our military may have died without any allies in the middle east.#Trump is a RUSSIAN AGENT, knowing or unknowingly, our intelligence community is NOT defending us from ALL enemies, foreign or domestic.
If even one military member in Syria is killed trying to retreat from Syria, #POTUS should be charged for #Treason, #AbuseofPower, #Espionage, #Conspiracy with a foreign power
1)#Russia
2)#Turkey
3)#SaudiArabia
4)#Iran

For his own personal interests, NOT national interests
By publicly announcing a military movement to the world, including the time frame, it could not be MORE treasonous and is BEYOND ignorance, it is TREASON.

Beware the Wolf Moon, like the "Ides of March", it will mark a new beginning for a government of, for, and by the people.

On Monday, in a memo published to the FCC website, chair Ajit Pai admitted “half-million comments” on net neutrality were “submitted from Russian e-mail addresses.” Pai had earlier denied Russian involvement. @theweeklylist.org
The memo also indicated thatover half of the almost 22 million comments came from phony, temporary, or duplicate email addresses, and reportedly only 17.4% of the comments were unique.
Pai also rejected two Freedom of Information Act requests filed byNYT and BuzzFeed, seeking “IP addresses” and “server logs,” respectively, associated with public comments submitted on net neutrality. @theweeklylist.org
