Just spotted this gem in the NYTimes on the court case from a true expert on 'democracy':
Mr. Putin last year called the various proceedings against Mr. Trump political “persecution” and said they had revealed the “rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy.”
His spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, reiterated the point on Friday in response to the verdict, saying it was clear to the entire world that the U.S. authorities were trying to eliminate political rivals “by all possible legal and illegal means.”

Congressional testimony: Michael Cohen: “Trump claimed his medical deferment was because of a bone spur, but when I asked for medical records, he gave me none and said there was no surgery…He finished the conversation with the following comment: ‘You think I'm stupid, I wasn't going to Vietnam.’”
There were no medical records, there was no surgery.
Two years ago, 19 children and two teachers were murdered in Uvalde, Texas.
What does Trump tell their families? "Get over it."
The children were murdered you have to get over it. The NRA is very close to me. So we did nothing. Nothing. Get Over It.
If there's one thing I hate, it's that Donald is a white supremacist thug who has spent years dehumanizing and attacking Women, people of color, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, and countless others ... and our children.
wo years ago, 19 children and two teachers were murdered in Uvalde, Texas. What does Trump tell their families? "Get over it." Criminal defendant is a monster, the biggest criminal in American history. Please, #vote
Active measures is a term used to describe political #warfare conducted by the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. The term, which dates back to the 1920s, includes operations such as espionage, propaganda, sabotage and assassination, based on foreign policy objectives of the Soviet and Russian governments against the United States and democratic western countries. Active measures have continued to be used by Vladimir Putin to control US politics through disinformation that enable controlling the Republican party.
