Trump Admin Returns Russian Dissident Asylum Seekers to Putin

>Activists warn Russian political refugees against seeking asylum in the US

>Immigration and Customs Enforcement had put them on a circuitous route: after being picked up from an airport in Alexandria, Louisiana, they made stops in the Caribbean before moving onwards to Cairo, Egypt.

>From Cairo, a plane took them to Moscow.

>The episode has caused panic among Russian dissidents and exiles. Many of them fled the country in the years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Thousands sought refuge in the U.S., telling immigration authorities that they fear imprisonment or persecution

    Not before he becomes president. There’s no chance of Trump surviving his term. He’ll die or he’ll be pushed aside using the 25th Amendment and Vance will become president.

      He is definitely a shadow of his dickish self in 2020. She is running on auto dick at this point. Which changes nothing, the party is running the show which is even worse in a way.

      But whether he remains propped up or not, 2028 might be our only chance to unseat these guys before they rig the elections to the point where they will forever remain in power. Vance will not end with it, not without a fight and he will not win that fight whether he inherits it or not.

      The nest of vipers will see a bitter fight that could be our chance to take it from them if we had a popular reform alternative with some organization behind it, and some guts and muscle.

      The Democrats are not that so disabuse yourself of the notion that Newsom.is acceptable. If he had what we needed he would have stood up in 2024 and claimed the nomination, and he could have won then. Not now.
