republican party that i was part of, we always used to say and maybe it was self gratifying but we seemed to believe it at the time that we believed in law enforcement. that was a key premise in the entire party, and now it is really become a and anti-law enforcement party. at the root of this lawrence is, will you assert that donald trump lost a fair and free election? it s not just donald trump doesn t assert that, the vast majority of republican officeholders will not say that joe biden was a legally elected president. so just unpack that for a second what does that mean? that means we don t have a legal government. that means that joe biden is an occupier, not an elected president. and if you believe that, that it s a short walk to believe that not only you have a justification to do whatever it takes to get rid of this person occupying the white house illegally, you might have a moral obligation.
ukrainian officials yesterday said fighting had sharply escalated in the region and their military had quote breached the occupier s first line of defense. officials also said the ukrainian forces destroyed a large russian military base, a claim nbc news has not been able to independently verify, and we should mention it is difficult to trust any of these initial reports in a battle zone. as tensions in ukraine escalate, iran is supplying russia with hundreds of drones to help with its effort in the war. according to u.s. officials, planes carrying the first load of drones left iran august 19th. the move underscores deepening ties between moscow and tehran, while also highlighting russia s struggles to supply its over-stretched military. while the weapons could give russia a boost, security officials say the drones have been plagued with technical difficulties and experienced numerous failures during initial testing. meanwhile, international concerns continue to grow over a russian-occ

lifetime could be reformed? well, let s talk about what that lifetime would be. i think the baseline test here is will the republican nominee in 24, whoever it whoever it i they are running against a legally elected president? it s unimaginable that will happen. so, think about that. they re not going to be running to take the place of another president. they re going to be running to depose an occupier. they don t believe in democracy. if you don t believe that joe biden was elected legally, you don t believe america is a democracy, and you believe you live in an occupied country. and that s a short walk to how you end up trying to seize the capitol or all of this talk about civil war. so, that s not going to happen in 24. i can t imagine that it s going to happen in 28. to me, the best hope would be in 32, and the only way this is
