Putin has effectively decapitated our federal government


He and his cabal have to be amazed and amused by the stupidity of the American citizenry.

He no doubt feels his point has been well made that democracy is a joke, and that people are too stupid to self govern.

Trump is the face of that stupidity.

It should have been the largest landside in the history of the world.

It should have been tamper proof.

The fix was in for months. Felon-47 knew he could do or say anything and he'd still get back into office.
With all the trillions of dollars to be stolen by Putin and the mega-rich, elections are just a minor nuisance anymore.

And yes, it should have been a landslide for the Lady and the Coach over the Criminal and the Guyliner. But propaganda-fed stupidity is ever on the rise in the US. We no longer deserve our rich history.

And he did it brilliantly.

Took over the US without firing a shot.

What is your reason for making it? What evidence can you lead us to that what you said is true?

See, you haven't supported what you said in any way. You just made the statement as though it was recognized fact. I don't think that's enough, really.

You might have said, "I think Putin has effectively..." whatever, and you would be correct, since you can tell us what you think.

But that isn't what you said. I don't think what you said is factual, frankly. If you can support your statement with objective facts, then I'm here to listen.

To destroy our federal agencies, especially the FBI, who are responsible for counterintelligence.

Kash Patel would give Russian agents free rein and use the FBI as a weapon against Trump's opposition.

This is beyond Putin's wildest dreams.

Are you being intentionally obtuse?

No offense.
