  1. A Russian asset: Trump’s policy behavior confirms evidence he was groomed by the Kremlin since the 1980s

    The “Kyiv Independent” published an explosive interview on February 26 that torched any lingering doubt about President Donald Trump’s deep ties to Russian intelligence

    Posted by Insights | Mar 8, 2025

    Excerpt: "Many Americans once dismissed reports of #Trump’s ties to Russian intelligence as wild conspiracy theories. Yet [#CraigUnger]’s findings, presented in his books 'House of Trump, House of #Putin' and '#AmericanKompromat,' outline a consistent chain of events stretching back more than 40 years.

    "Soviet operatives, later replaced by Russian #oligarchs, funneled suspicious cash into Trump’s real estate deals and played upon his narcissistic vanity. Over time, the strategy shaped Trump’s worldview to align seamlessly with the Kremlin’s long-term interests. Today, Russia reaps enormous gains as the White House methodically undermines Western unity, weakening NATO, and eroding confidence among America’s most vital allies.

    "The pattern was on full display during Trump’s U.N. address, where he castigated Ukraine for 'bringing its troubles on itself' and chided Europe for failing to 'handle its own backyard.'

    "In those remarks, he reversed decades of bipartisan consensus that the United States should confront unprovoked aggression in Europe. Instead of backing a nation under siege, Trump effectively blamed Kyiv’s government for the devastation wrought by Russian firepower.

    "Putin’s state media wasted no time broadcasting those segments, painting the U.S. president as an enlightened leader who recognizes the Kremlin’s alleged right to expand its sphere of influence.

    "Unger’s new revelations sent shockwaves through Washington circles. Once portrayed by supporters as a patriotic firebrand, Trump now looks more like a Trojan horse carefully cultivated by Russian intelligence. The journalist’s interview with the Kyiv Independent highlighted key phases of infiltration: financial bailouts for Trump when U.S. banks shunned him, orchestrated praise from Russian figures, and direct contact with individuals linked to the KGB’s successor services.

    "The result, Unger insisted, was a president whose foreign policy systematically furthers Moscow’s objectives — even if he never receives direct orders. In intelligence parlance, that is the very definition of an 'asset.'

    "Those who scoff at the notion that a sitting U.S. president could be co-opted by a foreign power willfully ignore reams of evidence. Unger references KGB files showing that Soviet handlers identified Trump’s egotism and business desperation as exploitable weaknesses. They recognized that lavish deals, flattery, and carefully timed loans could bind him to Russian interests."

  2. The unexpected relationship between U.S. #evangelicals and #RussianOrthodox

    Under #Trump and #Putin a strange alliance gets stranger.

    by John P. Burgess, August 15, 2018

    Except: "The alliance between the Russian Orthodox Church and the #BillyGraham Evangelistic Association has been especially significant. In 2015, #Metro­politanHilarion invited Franklin Gra­ham to Moscow, where he had private audiences with #PatriarchKirill and Putin. Graham later thanked the patriarch for the Russian Orthodox Church’s 'strong voice in the defense of moral values' and lauded Putin for defending biblical values 'from the attacks of secularism.' Graham further asserted that many Americans wished that someone like Putin could be their president, and he praised Russia for passing #antigay propaganda laws.

    "The visit bore more than rhetorical fruit. Graham announced that Samari­tan’s Purse, a ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, would cooperate with the Russian Orthodox Church in providing material assistance to people fleeing violence and war in eastern Ukraine, where Russia has supported an insurgency against the U.S.-supported Ukrainian government."

  3. @DemocracyMattersALot

    Marco Rubio no longer wants to have a "bigger dick" contest with #KingDonald like he did in 2016.
    Why?
    Marco is wearing The King's hand-me-downs. And we don't need a measuring stick to see who is cucked.

    Commander Marco is fully vested in #Gilead. #PraiseBe and #UnderHisEye

  4. #ChristianNationalists and their allies are more than just #bigots.

    They are using the premise of a #spiritualWar to pave the road for the #UnitedStates to become the #Christofascist #theocracy they so jubilantly pray for—and intimidating students protesting the violence in #Gaza and trying to claim campuses for their own brand of #Christianity is their latest battleground.

  5. #RobSchneider, whose claim to fame is a single, mediocre skit on #SNL, is a newly-converted #Catholic, so naturally he's an unmatched expert in #Christianity whose authority is beyond reproach. It makes perfect that this objectively unfunny slug would want to make a documentary about the well-known hoax, the Shroud of Turin, to celebrate his new expertise! What bravery! 🤣

  6. 8 years after his predecessor vetoed a bill enshrining the #Bible as the official state book, Gov. #BillLee signed into law a measure making a version of the Holy Book one of #Tennessee's 10 official tomes.

    The purpose was clear: to send a message that Tennessee favors #Christianity over other forms of worship, or lack thereof.

  7. This is happening because #Christians are afraid they are losing #culturalDominance and they want to either #evangelize to #nonChristian #students or drill it into their heads that they are second-class citizens in this country, thereby making it easier for those like #DeSantis to force their #religion on them in other ways.

  8. Taking essential #healthcare away from needy children on #Easter is incredibly fucked up. These #Republicans continue to claim exclusive ownership of #Christianity while behaving in a way that would have infuriated their #messiah. They're literally acting directly contrary to the foundational teachings of the man they claim to revere and follow.
