    This is about the COVID testing machines and Trump loving Putin more than Eric or Tiffany (I guess that’s a low bar).

    But the “Russia Hoax” was about Russian influence in the 2016 election.

    It was still not a hoax.

    Especially since Trump mistakenly admitted it.

      If you read the article, it gets from the one to the other. It’s actually worth reading.

    The Senate Intelligence report on Russian election interference details Russian manipulation and misinformation regarding the 2016 election and Trump’s involvement. Volume 5 is well worth at least skimming. When you look at the evidence it is clear that the following excerpt is accurate:

    The Committee’s bipartisan Report unambiguously shows that members of the Trump Campaign cooperated with Russian efforts to get Trump elected. It recounts efforts by Trump and his team to obtain dirt on their opponent from operatives acting on behalf of the Russian government. It reveals the extraordinary lengths by which Trump and his associates actively_sought to enable the Russian interference operation by amplifying its electoral impact and rewarding its perpetrators - even after being warned of its Russian origins. And it presents, for the first time, concerning evidence that the head of the Trump Campaign was directly connected to the Russian meddling through his communications with an individual found to be a Russian intelligence officer.

    That is the Democrat’s conclusion and it overwhelmingly supported by the details in the report. The GOP members pretend it’s all a misunderstanding and an attempt by Trump to improve relations.

    IMO the only reason Trump and his organization weren’t found to be illegally colluding with Russia is that the GOP chose party over country yet again. Republicans are willing to commit insurrection, treason and burn the country to the ground to maintain power.

    Last night while watching videos of nuclear strikes like a normal person, I thought about how the coming election would be such an opportune time for Russia to strike the US. It could strike while Trump is going off on his stolen election bs, say that Harris is too weak and that’s why Putin struck (whatever bs), and send the country into pure madness. I know it’s insane and very unlikely, but I’m still worried about the election. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen. Either Trump wins and we’re all screwed, or Trump loses and starts a legit insurrection. I hope I’m so wrong.

      Considering that their recent tests failed spectacularly, and given the fact that the Russian military is currently the 3rd most powerful military in Russia, I would wager that Putin won’t be trying any silly nuclear BS. Much more likely that he’ll use a virus bomb or chemical weapon on Ukraine.

      Planning or actually did in Ukraine? Because I’m pretty sure it’s the latter.

          All those billions in aid packages were actually pieces of the Pentagon and the materials/equipment needed to reconstruct it in Kyiv. Thanks to a compromise in Congress, none of the furniture has been shipped over. The Department of Defense, and all other organizations that utilized the building, are currently working in a small collection of decommissioned missile silos. To accommodate this, the missiles they once held have been sold to North Korea in exchange for a copy of Red Star OS so they can continue their war against Poseidon.
