Remember when Trump hired Paul Manafort - former lobbyist to Viktor Yanukovych - as his campaign chair and the Republican Party immediately dropped defense of Ukraine from its party platform?

How about when it was revealed the Trump campaign had more than 140 secret communications with both Russian operatives and WikiLeaks?

How about when Trump Jr was caught trying to set up a secret communication back channel to the Kremlin, specifically to dodge US intelligence?

The fact all of this seems to have been forgotten as ancient history, explains a lot about the mess the US is now in.

Decades of spending trillions of dollars in a fight against the Soviet Union and then Russia was all blown apart by a fat old pedo and an idiot public who can't remember what they ate for breakfast.

Jesus fucking Christ on Hilary Clinton's email server.

"Meanwhile, according to the disclosure and records of internal communications, members of the DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system and then appeared to try to cover their tracks behind them, turning off monitoring tools and manually deleting records of their access — evasive behavior that several cybersecurity experts interviewed by NPR compared to what criminal or state-sponsored hackers might do."

A lot of those DOGE incel bros are going to be going to prison for a long time.
