I’ve told everybody listening that Draco-II’s actions will get worse before (and also even after) the mid-term elections. I can’t read a crystal ball, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist (like my father was) to see that Draco-II is actively trying to destroy America and our democratic institutions. Draco-II is now openly breaking laws that he himself has signed. One example, as reported by Thom Hartman, Draco-II has decided, after one of his almost bi-weekly calls with Vladamir Putin, to suspend (for 6 months, normally 30 days) American world-wide sanctions against any country that buys oil or refined products from Russia so that Russia could sell millions of tons of diesel on the world market, in opposition to a law that he just signed three weeks ago (the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act) to punish countries that buy Putin’s oil. Draco-II is also circumventing the “Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act” signed into law four years ago so he can try and bribe American users of diesel fuel to vote for HIS republican party. If not to his liking, Draco-II gives the middle finger to American laws as he sells out democracy.

So blatant are Draco-II’s actions that Congressman Joe Walsh stated that “Trump is a traitor to the free world”. Senator Mark Kelly asked “Whose side is Trump on?” Mike Pence called this deal – siding with Putin – a “betrayal” of Graham’s legacy.

But what do you expect from a person who, as Hartman writes, “[p]ut an alcoholic B-list weekend TV guy in charge of the Pentagon, a plumber in charge of DHS, a fracking guy in charge of Energy, a wrestling billionaire in charge of Education, a brainworm-

lawyer in charge of our nation’s health, let a ketamineaddled trillionaire rip apart our federal government and destroy our soft power around the world by taking down USAID, shut down our pro-democracy propaganda operations (VOA, etc.), put a weightloss “miracle pill” hawker in charge of Medicare and Medicaid, a C-list former reality TV star in charge of our airlines, his own criminal defense lawyer to run the coverup of Epstein at the Department of Justice, etc”.

To counteract massive tech bro and Musk supported super PACs trying to buy the mid-term election, don’t support ANY candidate that supports Draco-II, our modern Benedict Arnold, as he corruptly attempts to sell out democracy.
