It's almost like US media is regularly lobotomized. Or the brain worms are as contagious as measles.

@cnn.com What in the hell? Too many CNN talking heads r using words that blame Zelenskyy for Friday’s debacle! I rarely watch CNN because of this 💩 and when I do it’s more of same. The billionaire wack job on your board making you all stupid? Did you forget why Trump was impeached twice? Just BS.🤮

I think most people assume that Trump needed to get back in the White House to avoid prosecution. Maybe it was more his fear that Putin would call in his chips and let Trump dangle

This was an excellent article. Thank you very much!

Actually they probably need to go back to 1980s Brooklyn when Trump got into bed with Russian Mafia

When right-wing Sinclair TV began using a former RT and Lyndon LaRouchePAC writer to spin news stories that uncovered Flynn's treason, the largest TV group in the US began to say it was all "mainstream media's fault." It was followed by Bottom Line with Boris Ep, since arrested 3 times.

This is an excellent compilation.

'Patrushev warned that, this time, Trump will “be obliged to fulfill” his “corresponding obligations.”'

Well, that's not chilling at all.

Dmitriev was born in Ukraine. He’s a traitor to his country. Now beholden to Putin.

Thanks for the reminder--I had forgotten that.

Trump is the Kremlin’s employee of the month

As with the start of all Putin's other invasions, Watch For "LITTLE GREEN MEN," this time with AR-15s and MAGA hats.

This article is right on point. Anyone looking cannot seriously still deny that Trump is a Putin puppet. Astonishing that so many are afraid to say so

I am shocked Big Bad Wolf's building code reforms are so hostile to brick houses nobody could have predicted this

I don’t think it has anything to do with Kompromat or lucrative moscow hotel deals. Instead, look at his travels to Ukraine after Viktor Yushchenko was poisoned with Dioxin & contrast with his extreme vanity. He’s absolutely terrified he will be poisoned, which perfectly explains his capitulation.

emptywheel.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's nice.

And yet we know he IS getting lucrative deals.

rutrider.bsky.social•1 day ago

At this point he can get insanely wealthy w/o Russia. He doesn’t need Putin for some hotel deals.

Maybe they misplaced their trust in The New York Times.

I'm not as much surprised about trump as about the republicans, omnia comprehensa.

“The Emperor shivered, for he suspected they were right. But he thought, ‘This procession has got to go on.’ So he walked more proudly than ever, as his noblemen held high the train that wasn’t there at all.”

A succinct and brilliant summation of Dmitriev's foreplay with Trumpland, past and present. Thank you for your long standing commitment to keeping us informed.

Trump and his oligarchs are planning on taking control of Europe and the Americans leaving China to control the rest. This is what is happening. They are hollowing out the people who can stop them.
