When was the last time you were in front of a judge in D.C.?

But speaking of "5th column criminals," I thought Donald J. was going to clean up the "Deep State." I don't recall even hearing the term over the past three months.

This is one of the reasons I and most of us voted for him. It takes time, not 100 days.

Okay, I thought I would revisit this thread, since being concerned about Ed Martin targeting "gun crimes" caused me to be delcared by some to be "whiney" and "a coward" (by a guy who is so corageous he doesn't even use his real name when handing out gratituitous insults).

As things have developed, Ed Martin failed to disclose over 240 media appearances on federally required disclosure forms. That would not be much of a deal, except dozens of the undisclosed appearances were on Russian state television, on the "Sputnik" and "Russia Today" broadcasts. That is, of course, suspicious, but not in itself any big deal to me, except for what he SAID on Russian television. He parroted Russian propaganda about the war in Ukrane ("Zalenski started it"), NATO has never helped the U.S. in any way (the only time Article V has ever been invoked was to get European nations to help us out after 9-11) and he hailed V. Putin as "a hero."

Personally, I regard those who would abandon the Ukraine at this stage as white-livered cowards. But however you feel about that, no U.S. official should ever appear on foreign television networks openly supporting an adversary of the United States and putting forth that adversarys propaganda lines. Putin is no hero; he is a war criminal. And if calling him out as such, and calling out Edward Martin as his toadie, makes me a "whiner," then I am guilty as charged.

Knowing this man has loyalty to our major adversary, I am all the more concerned when he starts throwing his weight around. One of the reasons we should be armed is to resist weasles like this worming thier way into positions of power. Which, I suspect, is why he is hostile to guns in the hands of commoners.

My only comforts are that that the war in the Ukraine ended within a day of Donald J. taking over, and Vladimir Putin so deeply respects and fears the dealmaking ability of our current President.

if you think ukraine is 100% innocent?
they shut the fresh water supply off to crimea circa 2015
they have been allowing azov {neonazis } to do whatever for the same time period to the eastern regions
the eastern region held an election to succeed
ukraine called them fake , while stopping their own elections for the war time , zelensky and the parliament are both running on only the emergency powers . as their terms ended
now ask yourself if the bidens were over there for our nations best interest from 2014 to present ? same term he pardoned his family for ?
same time period he demanded the prosecutor be fired ?
now the war ? 5 years . zero video that hasnt been proven to be actors or setup?
now take some time and simply google = ukraine anti aging stem cell therapy
where do those stem cells come from ?
which party seems to be rapidly aging since the war started ?
which party visits ukraine often ? even during said war ?
which party funded and supported PP ?
as for the claims putin is a united states adversary?
what has he directly affected in the united states ?

Hey, it wasn't me who said he would end the war in Ukraine and bring down prices on "day one." It was him. And he didn't do it.

And it did not even FIND, let alone uproot, the suppsed "deep state."

Idle boast? Of course. Which in itself is "strike one."

But, in fact, in the first 100 days Donald Trump has, in fact, tried to extort Ukraine, offered that country up to Russia on a platter, and now, with V. Putin going out of his way to lie to and humiliate D. Trump, "this administration" is in fact saying that it wll "walk away" from the effort to end that war if the parties don't stop fighting. This on the same day Russia launches, in fact, dozens of drones and ballistic missiles into Ukrane hitting apartement buildings and playgrounds. These things have, in fact, been done. They are in place. They are history. Fait accompli. Not theories or predictions. He done it.

I don't know what people might be expecting with more time. Maybe he will reverese himself, yet again. I guess I have no choice but to wait and see.

Nobody is innocent. Nobody.

But in this case, only Russia mounted an armed invasion, kidnapped 100,000 children and moved them to *reeducation camps* in Russia, and daily bombs and rockets manifestly civilian targets, and tells lies as often as Donald Trump himself. To say that Russia has routinely committed war crimes is an understatement.

As for Russia being an adversary of the United States, what I have mentioned above ALONE is so contrary to what we profess to be, and should be, and generally are, that it makes them an adversary. But, rather than mount a 100-page dossier of V. Putin*s actions against the U.S., I will offer the following global summary:

*Russia, China, Iran and North Korea*individually and collectively*are challenging U.S. interests in the world by attacking or threatening others in their regions ... Growing cooperation between and among these adversaries is increasing their fortitude against the United States, the potential for hostilities with any one of them to draw in another and pressure on other global actors to choose sides.*

This assessment was presented to the Senate*s intelligence committee three days ago (on March 25, 2025) by Trump*s people; Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA director John Ratcliffe. (You know, the *radical left lib-tards.*)

Apropos to this particular time and place, I would add that Russia has systematically interfered with U.S. public opinion for the past ten years through the use of web sites and Internet propaganda spoofing various U.S. people and entities, to undermine our confidence is our own social institutions (with some success, obviously). That, too, makes them an adversary. (You aren*t one of those, are you?)

The stem cell thing * well * how can anyone argue with that.

I'm just glad FJB and his rainbow warriors are GONE for good.

If only we had elected Harris/Walz, instead of that Nazi dictator Trump. You can bet Harris/Walz would have taken care of this matter before the first 100 days. If you voted for Trump, you*re just a poo-poo head.

Jeb Bush wouldn't have let Putin get away with this! /sarc

so the country that goes into ukraine to stop the eastern ukrainian oppression is instantly the bad guys ?
you have zero issue with ukrainian neonazis oppressing ukrainians ?
but have major issue with russia going in to free the eastern region that voted to leave ?
that literally places the evil assignment to us , for many of our wars . as we went into the other countries to stop shit we didnt like ?
as for the ukraine first day claim ? he literally said it on day one , if ukraine signed the minerals deal [ same one zelensky touted first ]
american companies or troops would be present and any attack would be against american assets . so russia would be directly attacking us ?
same reason they mentioned the same for gaza .

now ask yourself , why is there more direct war footage from ww2 , than there is in ukraine?
why is ukraines nightlife booming , during a war ?

Just like proper capitalization and punctuation, war footage from Ukraine isn't hard to come by.

Because Franklin Roosevelt made the decision, and announced it, that the American people who were sending thier sons and daughers off to die had a right to see what was going on. He made a point of allowing broad reporting on WW-II. And good for him. He was right.
