"JD Vance announces support for Putin's invasion of Europe."

Ukraine is thwarting Putin's plans to keep his captive fossil fuel markets in line in the EU.

Republicans are so heavily invested in preventing an utterly necessary fossil fuel phase out, they'll support petrostate dictatorships everywhere.

Ukraine will get its territory back again & ditch that corrupt minerals deal with Ron Lauder.

"In exchange for their support in ruining free & fair elections, Trump's regime promises to prevent future legal losses for Big Tech's abdication on public safety.

With a side of fascist state surveillance."

The Quid Pro Quo to Trump's Ballroom Donors is clear.

The circle of grift:
Corrupt donors buy corrupt politicians.
Corrupt politicians buy support from corrupt donors.

"State surveillance software becomes mandatory so tech companies can abdicate their responsibilities to public safety.

They bought corrupt politicians and get rewarded with tax cuts, government contracts, and impunity. "
