Putin said it was “madness” to allow countries like Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia to leave USSR.

Trump also opposed breakup, accusing Gorbachev of weakness & praising Communist China for showing strength in massacring students.

Coincidence?

#TrumPutin

2) In 1987 Soviet diplomats & KGB arranged a Moscow visit. On his return, Trump spent $100,000 on full-page ads criticizing US foreign policy on “why America should stop paying to defend countries that can afford to defend themselves."

3) Trump’s love affair with authoritarianism & dictators is nothing new. Trump saw breakup of Soviet Union as weakness, praised communist China for massacre at Tiananmen, & praised China’s Xi for becoming “President for life.”

4) Trump withheld certified, Congressionally-approved military aid to Ukraine, violating the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 which prohibits a president from doing so without Congressional consent. He was impeached. Republicans did nothing.

5) Not just Trump:

Mike Pompeo: “Very shrewd & capable. Very talented statesman. Knows how to use power. Enormous respect for him"

Pence: “A stronger leader”

Giuliani: “Makes a decision & executes it. That’s what you call a leader”

6) Putin earned KGB creds in brutal East Germany. His job was collecting “kompromat” on Westerners (compromising information for use in blackmail or manipulation for political purposes). Trump’s 1987 Moscow hotel room was bugged. This KGB defector warned us about #ActiveMeasures

1/6) How is anyone surprised Trump bombed Iran and believed he's anti-war?

His poll numbers are tanking, he criticized Obama and Hillary Clinton for not sending American ground troops to Libya, agreed with the Iraq War, and thinks we can plunder oil.

1 - On Ronald Reagan’s birthday, it’s fun to remember how he called African delegates to UN “monkeys uncomfortable wearing shoes.”

#GOPFascists

2 - On Ronald Reagan’s birthday, it’s fun to remember how he took my dead father’s social security survivor benefits away from my struggling single mom, taxed social security to pay for massive tax cuts on the rich, & how Republicans are pushing for more!

3 - On Ronald Reagan’s birthday, it’s fun to remember how he reclassified KETCHUP as a vegetable to cut funding for school lunches while he transferred billions to the top, exploded deficits, and widened income inequality with his trickle down idiocy.

@GOP

Republicans have spent decades trying to abolish gov’t agencies including EPA, FDA, & FBI, pass massive tax cuts for the wealthy & big oil, eliminate minimum wage, slash Medicare, & dismantle Social Security.

Don’t let them. This November tell @GOP #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

@valdemings

Marco Rubio getting honest on the Republican play book: Cut taxes on the rich, use their resulting deficits as ammo against Democrats and an excuse to gut programs like Social Security and Medicare.

#HandsOffMySocialSecurity @valdemings @marcorubio

@GOP

Pay attention folks. Republicans have been trying to end Social Security for DECADES. Since it was passed.

Don’t let them. This November, tell @GOP #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

1) As Russian forces close in on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and face brave resistance, I wanted to share a short story of my mother, a Freedom Fighter from another brutal Russian invasion: Hungary, 1956.

She taught me freedom is not free. History repeats.

#Ukraine

2) The Soviet Union occupied half of Europe after WWII & built a very real iron curtain right down the middle. Ignoring agreements, Stalin redrew the map and installed puppet governments. He even took a piece of Hungary & annexed it to Ukraine, dividing families for decades

3) Khrushchev’s "secret speech" in February 1956, denounced the crimes of Stalin and his cult of personality. This "de-Stalinization" led reformers across the Eastern bloc to openly express their discontent with Soviet occupation and oppression.
