Agreed. Facts should matter more than political loyalty. So here are facts, every one from Trump’s own government.
Fact: Trump’s National Intelligence Council wrote in August 2020 that Putin was personally overseeing an operation to spread claims my father committed crimes tied to Burisma. Trump declassified that document himself two days ago.
Fact: Trump’s Treasury sanctioned Andriy Derkach on September 10, 2020 as “an active Russian agent for over a decade.” Giuliani met him in Kyiv, on camera, and kept the tapes.
Fact: Trump's FBI warned Senator Johnson that his source, Andrii Telizhenko, was a conduit for Russian disinformation. Johnson kept going and so did Grassley. Trump's Treasury then sanctioned that source too, on January 11, 2021.
Fact: The bribery allegation at the center of the impeachment inquiry came from Alexander Smirnov, who pleaded guilty in federal court to fabricating it and went to prison.
Fact: Six years of investigation by prosecutors of both parties produced zero charges from the laptop’s contents. Not one.
You asked whether politicians and media knowingly amplified information they believed was false. The FBI warning and the Treasury sanctions were public before the amplification stopped. It never stopped.
So yes. That is the bigger story. It’s the one I’ve been telling. And there are an endless supply of facts i am writing and discussing on Substack.

Idag har det gått fyra år sedan Rysslands fullskaliga invasion av Ukraina. Vi står bakom det ukrainska folket som slåss för sin egen frihet och säkerhet, men också för vår.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 🇸🇪

Vi låter oss inte utpressas. Bara Danmark och Grönland bestämmer i frågor som rör Danmark och Grönland. Jag kommer alltid stå upp för mitt land, och för våra allierade grannar. Detta är en EU-fråga som rör många fler länder än de som nu pekas ut. Sverige har nu intensiva diskussioner med andra EU-länder, Norge och Storbritannien för ett samlat svar.
EVERYONE: @Bubblebathgirl <- This account is a bot, there is no need to engage with anything it posts.
Ibland blir jag rädd över att högerextremister i Sverige blivit som republikanerna i USA. Det beror bland annat på att den idiotiska minoriteten är så jävla högljudd på Twitter. Sedan läser jag kommentarerna och pustar ut. Svenskar köper inte sånt skräp. Älskar Sverige 🇸🇪
Minns när jag brukade se upp till den här snubben back in the days. Idag ser jag vilken jävla grifter och idiot han är. Skyddar nazister (musk) och har så dumma åsikter att jag tappar hjärnceller varje gång hans inlägg dyker upp. Ut ur mitt land. Nu.
You know you’re about to hear the most retarded opinion ever when this big ass nose pops up in the comments.
The next democratic leader needs to be ruthless. Fuck the rules, norms, even the laws. MAGA is a cancer that’s literally destroying the country. They don’t even care, it’s all a joke to them. Every accusation is a confession with these mfs.
A Democrat or Independent will feed 100 people for fear that one may starve.
A Republican will starve 100 people for fear that one may not deserve it.
Dear Viktor,
I understand that there is an election campaign in your country, and that this time you are truly being challenged for power.
But we do not interfere in your election campaign, nor do we want to become part of it.
Sweden and the Swedish people have always been friends of Hungary and the Hungarian people, as you know. We were friends of Hungary before your government, during your government, and we will remain so after your government.
We remember when Hitler’s genocide of Jews struck Hungary, and how Sweden in 1944 sent diplomat Raoul Wallenberg on a special mission to Budapest, to save as many Hungarian lives as possible.
Tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews survived because we provided them with provisional protective passports and citizenship here in Sweden. When the Soviet Union later invaded Hungary, Raoul Wallenberg was forcibly taken to Moscow and disappeared.
The Swedish diplomat died, but tens of thousands of Hungarian lives were saved. We would do it again.
We also remember when the Soviet Union brutally crushed your Hungarian struggle for democracy and freedom in 1956, and when Prime Minister Imre Nagy was later executed for his efforts to democratize the country.
When Russian tanks crushed the Hungarian freedom struggle, the Hungarian people pleaded with the UN and all Western powers for help. Almost no one listened.
But one country that showed deep solidarity with you was Sweden.
We opened our arms to your freedom fighters and dissidents. We allowed you to build exile opposition against Soviet communism here, despite our non-alignment. It was not without risk for us. But we did it anyway—because it was the right thing to do.
Today, over 40,000 people of Hungarian descent live in Sweden, many of whom are descendants of the Hungarian refugees who came here in connection with the 1956 uprising. They are a well-integrated immigrant group in our Swedish society.
Democratic states help each other, then and now. And they stand up against countries that try to oppress others.
That is why, just as in 1944 and 1956, we support democratic countries that Russian tanks try to overrun. Back then, it was about Hungary; today, it is about Ukraine. And if we do not act, it could be about another country tomorrow.
This is also why we often express concern about the developments in Hungary in recent years. Hungary ultimately regained its freedom, but freedom must also be defended.
That is why we question when you go to have coffee with the leader of the same country that crushed your compatriots’ freedom struggle in 1956 and that today attacks your neighbour, Ukraine.
Hungary and the West are not strengthened by closing the door to their European friends or by attacking each other and the very things that distinguish us from barbarism — democracy and the rule of law.
Let me conclude with some wise words from yourself in 2007:
“As kind of a new generation of the West, our message to those younger than we is to stick to a Western type Hungary, not to let Hungary be derailed from its Western path, and to love that Hungary is a Western type country, which means that we believe in the free will of people and in the mutual responsibility towards each other that we take upon us, which are inseparable parts of Western culture.
The oil might come from the east, but freedom always comes from the west. And democracy cannot be directed from above, it can only grow from the hearts of people and in this way create a viable, Hungarian life.”
Finally, I wish to convey Sweden’s respect for the Hungarian people, and to wish your country a free, peaceful, and successful election.
Lmao this bitch is retarded
If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights.
Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too.
South Dakota defends the Constitution.
Never in a million years would I have thought that Republicans would be Russias bitch. Goes to show, Republicans stand for absolutely nothing.
Hey @FBI — @krassenstein is openly calling for the assassination of a foreign president on U.S. soil. People have been arrested for far less.

No, what’s actually wild is pretending to represent the salt of the earth working class while mocking people for… getting an education? First of all, it’s a well-documented fact that Democratic voters are more likely to hold college degrees. That’s not a flex, it’s just data.
Now before you even bring it up, let me shut it down. Every time student loan forgiveness gets mentioned, y’all break out the same tired insult about degrees in basket weaving or underwater jazz flute like that’s what people are actually studying. Reality check…over 80% of degrees in the U.S. come from the top 20 most popular majors on the planet. We’re talking business, nursing, engineering, education, computer science, psychology. Not interpretive dance theory with a minor in medieval sock knitting. Stop being unserious.
And let’s not pretend the average MAGA voter made a conscious, noble decision to avoid college because they feared student loan debt. Many simply weren’t interested, weren’t eligible, or chose other paths. That’s fine. But don’t turn around and try to shame people who pursued higher education and now want relief from a system that inflated costs, pushed predatory loans, and left people underpaid and overqualified.
The real scam is acting like a teacher or social worker asking for a $10K break is the problem… while billionaires, corporations, and your favorite politicians are out here cashing six and seven figure checks in the form of bailouts, tax write offs, and PPP forgiveness without so much as a side eye.
This isn’t about smugness. It’s about folks tired of being told to bootstrap a broken system while Wall Street gets concierge service. Maybe aim that anger upward instead of sideways.
