Russian puppet.

The only thing that is wild to me is how the greedy put in power someone that hates the country they got rich in.

thedalyplanet.bsky.social•11 days ago

Controversial? Will NO ONE speak the truth? How is this actually happening without the media screaming a global warning? America is being infiltrated by forces designed to end our democracy. This isn’t a movie!

plutoniary.bsky.social•10 days ago

The media is owned by the same class of billionaires that helped this regime get in. Right wing ownership is now the norm. There’s no functional media with a duty to inform the public here. They serve shareholders only. Dumbed down is an understatement.

I think a lot of smart people just quit watching TV at all… it’s unbearable. 50% ads, “content” for people with an early high school level mentality/maturity. Lots of Americans “max out” at this stage. It’s all so dumbed down it has become intolerable.

plutoniary.bsky.social•10 days ago

The Trump audience are people who kept watching TV, “reality shows,” and decided that’s how regular people are. They couldn’t really see past the facade. They didn’t know The Apprentice was a fabricated farce.

plutoniary.bsky.social•10 days ago

They don’t know psychology so aren’t able to detect all the dark triad personality stuff the rest of us see in these men. They don’t recognize the projection, the gaslighting, the deflection, the every-accusation-is-a-confession stuff. They don’t see it.

Then they all got smartphones that fill their heads with falsehoods, conspiracies, and propaganda. They bonded online over the shared, false, “conventional wisdom” of right wing ideology. They got radicalized and emboldened in their racism and misogyny. The white women among them joined right in.

As fascists always do… line up behind The Leader. Remember, there are no good Nazis. Following orders is not a defense.

pthoege.bsky.social•10 days ago

WHAT OTHER RECOURSE DO WE HAVE NOW OTHER THAN A JUNTA GOVT TO JAIL TRUMP AND HIS CABINET OF TRAITORS? WHAT OTHER CHOICE DO WE HAVE? IN THIS CASE A WRONG WILL MAKE A RIGHT. HISTORY WILL FORGIVE US FOR THIS, BUT AT THIS POINT IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY IN ORDER TO TAKE BACK OUR GOVT FROM FASCISTS!!!!!

The top US spy and probably the top ____ spy, too.

thesoutherndad.bsky.social•11 days ago

You could have ended the sentence with intelligence.

Cross out the word "experience" and the blurb is correct.

The 💩show continues Russia has to be high giving their comrades and spies high fives saying “who knew the way to kill Amerikkka was to divide them and pay off a couple of racists”🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ great job.

America will find its allies sharing a lot less intel with a Russian shill at the top job.

lithuim.bsky.social•11 days ago

I doubt it. They need our satellites and our information more than we need theirs

souptomatosoup.uk•11 days ago

Oh, you really don’t understand do you?

"Confirmed as the top US spy"

I think Reuters deserves some credit for that headline.

Vladimir Putin is celebrating

gvent.bsky.social•10 days ago

Be honest, because karma will find you out! Gabbard is a non qualified, suspect, MAGA shill with no, repeat no, redeeming aspects! That America has appointed her to a sensitive post that impacts upon America and its allies (so far) is beyond comprehension! The negative consequences are dire!

kawyckoff.bsky.social•10 days ago

The US has never been more vulnerable to foreign and domestic attacks than we are right now. 5 eyes partners should suspend Intel sharing with the US

jeffdemello.bsky.social•11 days ago

🖕🏼🍊🍕💩, the GOP, Musk, the MAGAts, and all their vile minions!

csantarcangelo.bsky.social•10 days ago

Could have just written “Tulsi Gabbard, a former US representative with little intelligence” and stopped there.

ptmd25.bsky.social•10 days ago

If this were a country like Uganda or Turkmenistan, these headlines would be hilarious.

I can’t believe what is happening in the United States.

It's unbelievable

Macron has been advocating for the EU for some time. Maybe they will continue to rise as whatever is happening here happens.

sidster12345.bsky.social•11 days ago

I mean looks like Macron is on his way out. It looks like the far right is gonna be taking power in 27 and they are not gonna be nice to the EU.

I like the way the summary cuts off.

fistfullofsteel.bsky.social•11 days ago

Would love to hear the mental gymnastic routine you go through every day to call yourself a "Libertarian" while supporting that fascist Trump.

mensabarbi.bsky.social•11 days ago

Easy. I prefer a free, peaceful and prosperous USA.

fistfullofsteel.bsky.social•11 days ago

Hahaha yeah his policies are really all about being free and peaceful. As for prosperous only those at the top.

mensabarbi.bsky.social•11 days ago

That’s your opinion, but that’s not really how it works out. By slashing, government waste fraud and abuse. They’re reducing your taxes. They were reducing the tax burden on the American people.

fistfullofsteel.bsky.social•10 days ago

Also how exactly does slashing programs and dismantling government organizations that the average American depends on, all to fund a massive tax break to corporations and the 1% actually help the average American????

fistfullofsteel.bsky.social•10 days ago

If they were looking for "fraud" they would hire Forensic Accountants . They wouldn't bring in a bunch of 19-21 year old programmers. Also dismantling the CFPB is a dead giveaway they care nothing about fraud or protecting consumers. They just allowed Corporations to pillage you.

fistfullofsteel.bsky.social•10 days ago

That's your opinion but thats not at all how it works. The man who dropped a meme coin literally two days before taking office is not looking for "fraud". Also the man who has so far neutered all the organizations who were investigating his companies Space X and Tesla is also not looking for fraud.

ogblockhead.bsky.social•11 days ago

DNI is a terrible, ill-defined job that gets blamed for problems the position can't control. So, they've go their scapegoat. And the professional insiders are going to mushroom her: keep her in the dark and feed her shit.
