The obvious question is how did “Sergio Gor” get into the US?

Unless he’s one of the undocumented immigrants the right wing is freaking out about, he had to have produced some ID to be admitted. Where are the records?

Yes, and I'd like to see what lies he's been telling to the state where he lives and all of his associates there. Do Trump, Vance, Musk, Paul and Rubio all know he's from Russia or have they all just hired him without knowing where he was born. Who accepted the non-answer on that during a Congressional hearing? How gullible are these people?

During this administration, we will see things that we have never seen before. All out in the open! And it’s not over yet!

Mmmm 🤔 Makes me question why Conservative Party of Canada Leader, Pierre Poilievre, has been holding out from getting his security clearance? As my dear old Dad would say, "Where there's smoke, there's fire" and in this case, a fire burning somebody's dirty laundry. ❤️🇨🇦

Would not surprise me at all given that he’s a Russian asset and that the Russians set him up in 1985 they knew He was enamored with anybody that acknowledged and praised him in the Russian saw him as a great puppet somebody they could manipulate, and so they worked with him so that he would be totally loyal to Russia and Putin

Musk isn't the issue in today's international foreign affairs like move on, people!

Trump's backchannel to Iran failed after supreme leader went dark. Trump was pushing this week for a direct meeting with the Iranians — even offering to attend himself, if necessary, he so weak, instead of being of targeting the underground plant with cluster bombs, He is petrified, of taking on an adversary's...

An Iran Deal in Two Weeks? Hard to Achieve, even if Trump Really Wants One. Negotiating with Tehran is time-consuming and difficult under the best of circumstances. And it remains unclear whether President Trump’s 14-day clock is more than a way to buy time for military preparations.

Isn't it obvious ?

When Trump's dementia became too obvious to ignore Putin sent Trump a Personal Assistant. A baby-sitter. Installed in a position with the power to fire anyone that may become troublesome.

I wonder if the American oligarchs are on board with this. Or is there going to be a power struggle for the White House between the Kremlin and the Heritage Foundation?

Elon has certainly been forthcoming with his views . . .

This Musk-Gor dispute is fascinating given Musk's own questionable loyalties. But everything has screamed Trump being beholden to Russia "from way back when" (to quote 1 of the passages in your article).

I typed a comment and it suddenly went away. I apologize if I am making a duplicate.

Since we have a multitude of emails for Sergei I suggest that we inundate him with emails. We could agree on one email address per month (or, every other week) and just plié him with questions.

What do ya think?

This is so damned creepy!

Sometimes I feel that we don’t know Trump at all!

I'm starting to get rather furious at the other 50 states that don't seem to feel any urgency to address these problems. Where does this guy live? How about we go to the Attorney General of that state and ask if being a spy is a crime there or just in DC. I can't believe his books at the state level are pristine, particularly for facts like where he was born. Is he registered as a foreign agent? Let's get some damn state detectives working this case and finding a reason to arrest this guy for something serious like espionage. We can no longer trust the federal government to handle this because they are so riddled with people like Gor.
