Warning: There may be some language here. I've had enough!
1)
In the current political climate, MAGA Republicans, most of whom were complicit in the conspiracy to overturn the results of a free and fair election, continue to distract, obfuscate or remain silent while the #January6thCommittee patiently unravels..
..the entire story for the American public. It is a story that must be told and must be fully understood, in all of it's implications.
Because the current #January6thCommitteeHearings are NOT just about the events of a single day NOR are they only about a vendetta...
3)
..against one man, the Former President, author and instigator of this "Constitutional Mischief" as even conservatives have described it!
The #January6thCommitteeHearings are about this moment in time. A moment in which the 245 year old experiment.. 4) edition.cnn.com/2022/06/16/pol…
...known as the United States of America 🇺🇸 and it's Democratic Republic are literally teetering on the brink of failure all because of a great big Dumbass LIE & the many complete idiots who either still believe it or want to play it to their advantage! grid.news/story/misinfor…

So let's concentrate a moment on just why it is so important for ALL Americans who may still have some reasonable powers of critical thinking to understand how and why US Democracy is threatened. And NO. I'm not going to address that in this thread!
6)
If you really want to understand, watch it for yourself.
It's as easy as a Google search or two clicks right here. ⬇️ What I really want to address in this thread is the immense Stupidity it takes, with all the information available, to still accept.. 7)
..the #BigLie. I mean REALLY people and yes, I'm talkin to you #MAGA! To believe the Big Lie, the big con that dìpshìts like Donald J. Trump and his loony lawyer Rudy Giuliani have been selling you, you've got to believe that hundreds, ne thousands of Poll workers, Election...
8)
..workers and State Election Officials, all across the entire vast United States of America were so invested in a Biden win that they conspired (HOW?) to trick, corrupt and swing an election in his favor! If that's the case then wow, @JoeBiden really IS more popular...
9)
..than your guy! But the simple fact is... Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani and all the other @**hats around him have been lying to you. Yeah. I'm sorry. Sooner or later you're gonna have to face it. You've. been. had! #JoeBiden WON the 2020 election.🤷♂️ 10) pewresearch.org/politics/2021/…
Donald Trump is a LIAR and you bought the lie!
But now I'm gonna take it a step further because I could honestly forgive you #MAGA for being stupid, brainwashed (20+ years of Faux "News" and a huge right wing media infrastructure is daunting) or simply ignorant. 11)
But what I CAN'T forgive #MAGA, is your obtuse, stubborn, willful ignorance in holding on to your mistaken belief that the 2020 election was somehow "stolen" and acting on that belief with violence!
This is where a large swath of my fellow Americans have crossed the line...
12)
..from ignorance to #Fascism! Let me say that again, the willful ignorance displayed by tRvmp supporters who still cling to the #BigLie AND threaten all Americans who DON'T is nothing less than Fascism! That is, Stupid + Bad/Evil = Violence and Danger!

Yes. I'm calling you Evil because when you take up arms to harass your fellow, honest, patriotic American citizens based on your MISTAKEN beliefs ( then you are nothing less than dangerous, radicalized #Fascists and you have ruined peoples LIVES! 14)
Not to mention, you are still ruining a perfectly good Democracy. And all because you are stupid enough to believe a stupid fv<king LIE! There is literally no excuse for that! 15)
If you have the courage to admit you're a Fascist, love your strongman dictator Donald the dirty and don't really give a rats ass about US Democracy then say it. But don't try to dance around the importance of the #January6thCommitteeHearings. It's damned important, and how!

And it does look like Mr. #Zelenskyy and I believe Biden are with me!
"Zelenskyy calls for more sanctions on Russia as peace talks continue!"
But what we can easily gather from watching this video is that nothing Russia says can be taken in good faith! nbcnews.com/now/video/zele…
In the meantime numerous fence sitting Countries are jockeying for the envious position of "peace maker" but none perhaps more uniquely poised than #Turkey.
I remember Winter in #Odesa, walking through gray streets alone just to see the Black Sea. There was a pack of wild dogs, but they let me be. Now the dogs of war wait outside.

with Vodka and, as I recall, a nice red wine.
I remember how Andrew would welcome me to the "great Ukrainian cities" and immediately regale me with their histories. He loved to speak of Cossacks. There are real Ukrainian Cossacks once again, except now they hold mitras instead...
In second war of Russia in Chechnya Russians could not win the war, until they have found a traitor Akhmat Kadyrov. Well, It is not easy to understand East. He was not actually a traitor, but the leader of one Chechnya tribe, which hated other Chechnya tribes more than Russians.
In a United States of America where the Law is now being interpreted based on political affiliation as opposed to sound precedents and principals it behooves us all to get #LegalAF!

I can republish that email but he (Andriy) has also sent me an amazing review he wrote of the Russian novel Taras Bulba and has asked me to clean up the English. As soon as I finish that job I will post it. Andrew's insight into the reasons Russia insists on invading #Ukraine...
