Has trump "unilaterally surrendered and left the door wide open for Putin’s war on American democracy" OR did he OPEN the door and invite Putin's dogs of war in?

More likely the latter. "Russia, if you're listening..."

Here we go again with preaching to the choir! The people who need to see this will not

true enough… which is why I tend to add the following to many comments: If you are sick to death of the Orange Criminal, his Crime Family, and everything the OC and his criminal associates represent, invest a little $$ or time in SWINGLEFT, FORCEMULTIPLIER US and/or OATH-VOTE to id viable candidates and ngos who will fight for democracy, decency, justice and the end of trumpism in domestic and international affairs.

Or invest a little $$ in ONYX MPACT, VOTO LATINO, FAIR FIGHT, the SPLC, LWV OR…DEMOCRACYDEFENDERSFUND…EARTH JUSTICE if you want to invest in voter turnout, fair elections and keeping the OC in court until kingdom come.

USE ALL THE TOOLS AT YOUR DISPOSAL TO 86 or 25 #47 and rid America of trumpists.

Who cares. Putin's in the house. Isn't that all that matters?

it matters if the Orange Criminal is actively colluding—- for accountability reasons.

Ok, I take your point, but there are so many things to put him in jail for. Raping and assaulting children; stealing billions of dollars from the U.S.; starting and prosecuting an illegal war that is draining the U.S. Treasury; selling insider information to multi-nationals and corporations for a fee; murdering children in Iran, sailors on the high seas, measles victims, U.S. soldiers...just off the top of my head. I guess being a traitor is up there, of course.

God, Mr. Corn, all of this terrible slander from Russia is outrageous! Geeez. We have to stop it but of course the regime dismantled the protections. Some people will believe this crap.

What a partnership. Russpublicans systemically destroy civic education to make lazy Americans dumb enough to fall for Russian disinformation, whereupon Russia supplies it. Works like a charm. Or should I say like a cute li'l Matryoshka dolly.

I hope the defamed celebs are able to sue all concerned.

Just like we had Russian interference in the 2020 election that Donny dismissed as a hoax, Valdo sees a supporter of his cause in the White House and he wants to ensure such support continues. Donny should really be criminally investigated for treason because he doesn’t understand or appreciate the threat he poses to our national security by his actions. He supports Russia, China, and North Korea while treating our traditional allays as adversaries. He just approved selling F35 technology to the Saudis against the advice of our intelligence services and after such technology was stolen by the Chinese. He sells the most advanced AI chips to the Chinese. He refuses to commit to defending Taiwan if attacked by China. If they succeed, they will have control of the best chip factory in the world. All of this scares me!

Thank you David Corn for telling us about online malign influence campaigns by Russian propaganda outlets. Too bad Trump took all government protections from this away. Americans are pretty much on their own to recognize this and not be persuaded by them!

It's great how David Corn details, and in excruciating detail, all the truly horrible things that are totally pure lies that Vladimir Putin is doing to destroy Democrats' chances to win elections. But here's what I DON'T see (and it's probably not David Corn's bailiwick): what genius-level, devastatingly penetrating, effective counter-measures are brilliant Americans taking to overwhelm and negate these tremendous efforts by Putin?

Alarming. Worse than we thought, and it rings true. Ai fake is very convincing.
