IMHO a lot of Republicans are at wit's end. Congressional Republicans must see that we just gave Putin half the world, and we may never have a vote again. 22 Republican senators, dozens of Republican House members voted to fund Ukraine. Many of them call Trump a liar about Putin. Support shared government. Our national sovereignty has been lost. We lost the cold war. Patriotic Americans of all stripes should oppose that.I've been waiting for Fred to cover it.

Get those Republicans who oppose Putin on the record! They are responsive to their consituents and donors.

1. Virtually everyone involved in beef and in meat packing is in a state of panic, and 20 senators in cow country should be paniciking also.

2. The Trump/Tesla infomercial pisses off every car dealer in the US. It's up to us to get them to protest to their local Congresspeople. Pressure NADA. https://www.nada.org/

2a. Pressure local car dealers. https://dcnation.dealercenter.com/blog/auto-dealer-associations

3. Pressure local chambers of commerce. https://www.uschamber.com/co/chambers

4. Where I live we have more Canadians, many with dual citizenships, who are pissed. More here than in some Canadian provinces. Highly influential.

5. Ukranian Americans. Not just in Parma..... in David Joyce's neck of the woods.

6. You get the idea. If you are Cuban, contact CANF. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_American_National_Foundation

Echo of Germany Pre WW11. Deporting anyone vs the 3rd Reich plus trade unionists, gypsies, ‘communists’, Jewish people, intellectuals. Trains then, planes now. But, it’s even more grotesque, isn’t it? Shackles? Shaved heads….. of course. Paid for by OUR TAXES?

Can we sleep? Don’t know about you, but it’s very hard for me now even though I need to do it instinctively for health.

We have a Mussolini here kissing up to Russia’s Hitler. As for muckabout, he’s pure evil on ketamine & needs to be deported along with the rest of this corrupt regime.

THEY ENJOY HURTING INNOCENT PEOPLE… and that is an ILLNESS!

Sir, that was one hell of a post. Thank you Fred. I've run out of words to describe my disgust. Thank you for your truthful, yet oh so brutal, and justifiably so, report/comment titled "You're paying for the torture of innocents"... Merci from France and I weep for my country of birth. Courage.

These images make me sick, these men will suffer horribly. To think that some, possibly many, are innocent is outrageous. The cruelty and lack of empathy is stunning.

It’s a little too BEN HUR for me (when his sisters and mother were sent to the dungeons for a roof tile that fell)

This is hideous - and also waste, fraud, and abuse.

I just hope Donald doesn’t deliver these people to Putin as mercenaries to fight Ukraine 🤷🏽‍♀️

Next time, after a year in a Salvadoran prison, they won’t be so willing to cross our border.

This is a master move from Tom Homan and Trump

This is why I still hold belief in some sort of literal hell. There has to be justice for the innocents and serious dues for power-mongers and their amoral minions.

The cost you highlight doesn't even take into account the massive amount of blowback that will occur down the line from all of this...which will be exponentially more costly to our nation & its people.

Also, Leavitt is the perfect spokesperson for this moment of White Christian Nationalists seizing power. Arrogant and disdainful of anyone not int he tribe, her smug certitude far outweighs her grasp of fact or context.

Perfect comment on the cross being absent as she celebrates the torture of innocent people.
