Very soon Maduro and Ivanishvili will be neighbors with Assad in Moscow. But where are they going to go when War Criminal Putin’s Empire of Lies collapses?
FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE COAST, LOS ANGELES RESIDENTS FLEE FIRE. STRONG WINDS CONTINUED TO SWEEP PACIFIC PALISADES AND NEARBY AREA. LAFD ISSUED A MANDATORY EVACUATION ORDER, WHICH EFFECTED DOZENS. WINDS EXPECTED TO WORSEN DURING NIGHT. GAVIN NEWSOM DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY
President @realDonaldTrump has made it very clear where he stands on the self-professed enemies of America. If Bidzina Ivanishvili goes through with his plan to destroy Georgian democracy on Dec 29, he should expect a response like he’s never imagined.

#GeorgiaProtests
🇬🇪 Georgians are engaged in an existential struggle for their country’s democracy, sovereignty & European future, and bipartisan members of Congress stand with them.
Now is the time for the US & the world’s democracies to take action to ensure that 🇬🇪 remains free & independent.
Georgian Dream is dragging Georgians away from their chosen path to Euro-Atlantic integration & towards the axis of aggressors intent on undermining the democratic world order.
Despite massive resistance from 🇬🇪 people, GD continues to integrate with the world's autocrats.🧵1/4
