We executed a couple for giving info to Russia in 1953 now the scrotus is being used by Russia

To advance their agenda. The GOP just don't care that we have a treasonous president who became president because Russia helped him. They attacked Obama for 8 years yet this cretin scotus who is guilty as hell pos gets a pass. It is so bull$hit! Everyday I wake up either in anger or sadness as to what is happened to our country.


Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were United States citizens who were executed for conspiracy to commit espionage for the Soviet Union. They were instrumental in the transmission of information about top-secret military technology and prototypes of mechanisms related to the atomic bomb, which were of value to the Soviet nuclear weapons program and also provided top-secret radar, sonar, and jet propulsion engines to the Soviet Union.[1][2][3]
