That statement isn't the "own" you think it is. |
Russia, Russia, Russia...you're not Trump, you sound like such a cornball. |
| Russian influence operations, disinfo and psyops is a real and proven thing, operating on a significant scale, and targeting not only our elections but many others in Europe and Africa and other areas. The fact that Republicans don't even want to acknowledge it, let alone deal with it, and deflect with "Russia Russia Russia" is in and of itself a national security issue. |
It’s sad watching them get played so hard. It would be hilarious if it didn’t affect the country, but I bet that a lot of them get taken by Nigerian Prince scams, too, and that’s kind of entertaining. |
Everyone knows there are Russian psyops just like there are American psyops. The question is the crazed Russia “collusion” thing that obsessed the left and was mostly fiction (remember the “pee tapes”?). Trump is bad enough without making up dumb sh*t. If anything these fantasies are more likely actually planted and promoted by Russia to make Dems look stupid. |
Copium is a terrible drug. |
This is why we can't have nice things. People holding up the oligarchy. The patriarchy. |
MAGA's “Russia hoax” narrative only survives by pretending the Steele dossier and a rumored pee tape are the whole story. They aren’t. The FBI opened its investigation before even hearing about the Steele Dossier, after a Trump adviser bragged that Russia had “dirt” in the form of stolen emails. Trump’s team then held a “love it” meeting for “Russia and its government’s support,” his campaign chair with deep Russian ties shared internal polling with a suspected intel asset, Flynn lied about secret sanctions talks with the Russian ambassador, Sessions lied about meetings with the same ambassador, and Trump publicly sided with Putin over U.S. intelligence in Helsinki. Add years of Russian money flowing into Trump properties and a secret Trump Tower Moscow project during the campaign, and you don’t even need a pee tape to see the problem. Mueller didn’t charge a criminal conspiracy, but he absolutely did not say "nothing happened." Calling all of that "mostly fiction" or saying "stupid Dems" isn’t critical thinking; it’s closing your eyes to a specific, lengthy, well-documented foreign influence operation that our own intel community and a Republican-led Senate committee have already laid out in excruciating detail. |
Yeah sure, "American psyops" like we're supposed to understand that the Ukrainian Rada vote to join the EU was fake and somehow Victoria Nuland waved a magic wand and turned "overwhelmingly pro-Russia" Ukraine into over 100,000 protesters in the streets demanding Yanukovich's ouster. The narrative I hear about what happened in Ukraine coming from pro-Russia people is absolutely hilarious. |
It's not about obsessing the left. Agents of Russia have taken over our instruments of government and our turning our country into a Russian style oligarchy. |
It wasn't a few unprofessional ads. It was a systematic takedown of the candidate. There was no email issue, that was a right wing fantasy that resulted in zero charges or criminal wrongdoing. The hack of the RNC and DNC servers and subsequent weaponization of DnC emails resulting in millions of ads being poured on social media, mostly facebook, resulted in enough tipped votes to turn the election. Add to it the NY FBI office (that Giuliani "owned") further weaponizing the emails issue with the stupid laptop that quelled the actual Access Hollywood tapes that illustrate a lot if the issues we have today, and again, yielded no new information, no new emails and no criminality. Somehow, Zuckerberg and Kushner uses the Facebook platform to brainwash millions of Americans and the problem has only gotten worse. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevenbertoni/2016/11/22/exclusive-interview-how-jared-kushner-won-trump-the-white-house/ And if you think Russia was a hoax, the GOP Senate sure didn't: https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/2020/08/18/publications-report-select-committee-intelligence-united-states-senate-russian-active-measures/ - penned by none other than Marco Rubio |
Ok. But the idea that Trump murdered a 13 year old girl’s baby with Epstein is about as dumb as the pee tapes. |
Knowing everything that we now know now about Trump, what makes you sure that either of those scenarios are dumb? |
Oh brother. |
Why do you want to die on the hill of defending Trump who is clearly a sexual predator. |
