50 Democrats in Congress joined ALL of the Republicans to castrate Dodd-Frank in 2018. That led directly to today’s bank collapses.

Remember when Mike Flynn told Russian stooges not to worry & Trump would end all the sanctions against Russia?
How is that any different than DeSantis telling Putin he can have Ukraine (just a "Territorial dispute?)" if DeSantis wins the WH?

Don't forget that Peter Thiel was one of the biggest Trump backers in 2016, seeks the destruction of the US government & its replacement with Silicon Valley techlords ("Sovereign Individuals"), his nightmarish dystopian surveillance state project Palantir, and keeps trying to kill the banking industry &
US sovereignty.

Who can forget his financing of JD Vance & his catering to nutbar conservatives with various startup projects, including his speedily,-failed "GloriFi" fintech effort last fall

So I ask you, who's living in the dystopia?

"Ron DeSantis knows better...he understands what's at stake in his heart of hearts in Ukraine. It doesn't defend him at all - in fact it makes what he's done more shameful."
