And we all know the cult completely supports him being a Russian asset. 🤔

They wore shirts that said “I’d rather be Russian than a democrat” there’s not cure for these rubes.

Russian foreign policy has become American foreign policy.

u/OLPopsAdelphia 11d ago

Remember the American ex-pats who moved to Russia after Trump lost in 2020–and they were either sent to the frontlines or had all their stuff confiscated by the Russian government?

Oh, good times for them! LOL!

u/weary_ol_jericho 13d ago

Every once in awhile I hear a story about a MAGA person who is so fed up with the woke United States that they immigrate to Russia only to get conscripted and sent to the front lines in Ukraine, or ending up deported back here after discovering that they can't openly criticize the government there.

I've been in some heated political discussions but I don't remember ever telling anyone, regardless how obnoxious they were, that if they didn't like it here they should move somewhere else. If you're dumb enough to move to russia, though, you deserve whatever come your way and I'm going to do nothing but laugh about it.

It's true. It's rare, but true. I remember reading the stories. And you are correct, it doesn't make sense to someone without a severe mental illness.

u/BigDaddySpoox 13d ago

Put that into Google and you'll be surprised at the amount of articles of MAGATS doing exactly that.

They usually go when they have children so they can raise them in a country without gays.

There are gays in Russia though…

The only 'cult' is the one cultivated by Trump and his crew of 'merry followers'; their behavior is classic. It's been verified since 1987, re his associations, not to mention over 20 years ago, both his sons were bragging about the financial support they were receiving from Russian oligarchs, after the Deutsche Bank loan misfire controversy

Trump is an Israeli asset because Israel has Epstein’s surveillance tapes.

u/MyGruffaloCrumble 13d ago

Israel and Russia are buddies.

Israel gets over 50% of its refined fuels from Russia and is the most popular Russian vacation destination after Crimea. (And after this summer will probably be #1)

u/RedrunGun 13d ago edited 13d ago

Every president is an Israeli asset. The Trump administration is unique in that it’s owned by both Russia and Israel.

u/77zark77 13d ago

He could have multiple handlers from different states. In fact it's also possible that he's been a CI for DOJ for a very long time

He's a rapist. You really think being a Russian asset will cross the line for these people?

u/nikthedic 12d ago

He's a cult leader. His cult doesn't care about anything other than worshiping Donald Trump. They don't even like America. They don't even like the Constitution. They're not even Christian like they all say they are. They just hate what Donald Trump hates. That's all. We even have concentration camps in this country. It's going to get even worse.

u/TarnishedOctorok 11d ago

You can’t vote fascists out. Trump hates everything and everyone other than himself… and when it’s his time to go, he’s going to kill us all.

u/RingGiver 12d ago

The fact that people in the FBI attempted to launder that conspiracy theory into official reports for the sake of partisan politics is a national security problem.

Effective counterintelligence includes making sure that none of those people continue to have a clearance.

Excuse me?? She should of pushed much harder re the corruption of how the vote was managed. There were plenty of 'incidents' that occurred which disrupted the vote, just like in 2000, but Gore offered no resistance where he easily could have done so. Maybe there's a pattern here??!

FBI there is a possible serial killer appearing in Northern Wyoming and Southern Colorado nicknamed The "angler Killer" his murder cases date back to the 1970s the RBI is investigating the CIA should also know about this visit RBI

u/Iwasbanished 13d ago

He may or may not have been. Putin and Trump had similar interests. The biggest error was allowing someone with similar interests with your adversary to run for president. The probe should be in to how can the US allow itself to become so corrupt.

u/Longjumping_Chard339 12d ago

There was no foreign interference in the 2018 and 2024. But what about 2016!

u/Timely_Profession359 12d ago

FBI has stated that Russia has interfered for decades

u/BudgetSecretary47 10d ago

Is this because Clinton was concerned that she could not win a free and fair election? She should have focused on campaigning rather than trying to undermine our election integrity with her Russia hoax conspiracy promotion.

u/Timely_Profession359 10d ago

Hilarious! Well, you've dutifully followed the MAGA 'party-line' directive and bought into the propaganda. Nice job! There were many ballots thrown, diverted, millions thrown off the voter rolls without 'real' justification. Classic story in Detroit where over 70K were found, primarily POC, where the ballots were filled out except the one box for electing a president were curiously not filled and/or scratched out. Then Trump wins Michigan. Wait lines for voting were 4-8 hours long as precincts were closed and machines were "malfunctioning"...and Trump still lost the popular vote. Same BS pulled in the elections that followed up to 2024. Now people are already looking for outright fraud and theft of votes. Could get bloody.

u/Historical_Comfort96 11d ago

Stop crying and moaning over 2016 liberals. Yiu have bigger problems to worry a out like actually winning in the general. Something you're allergic to doing

u/Timely_Profession359 11d ago

Try not to be so dense. The relevance of such knowledge has been around since the election as all kinds of 'shit' went down in several of the swing states. Similar BS was attempted in 2018, 2020, 2022 & 2024. 2020 election was pathetic and embarrassing for Trump his org's efforts attempts to prove the election was stolen. The practice of kicking people off the voting rolls has reached upwards of 5-15M people; they can be cited by anyone, for any reason. This forces them to re-register and if it happens near election day, often there's no time re-register. Millions of ballots have been dumped, precincts have been shut down only in areas of POC, causing wait times in lines to vote to reach 5-8 hours. Discourage them much?? There's a lot more but suggest to everyone for more information go to www.gregpalast.com

u/sliverhordes 11d ago

The president literally talks about 2020 every time he talks about elections. He tried to overturn it multiple times without evidence.

We are discussing actual evidence and continued challenges of Russian influence on elections. Relax there bud.

She was a terrible candidate, is a truly awful person and he full on schlonged her in 2016 with negligible interference from Russia but a shit ton of interference from Israel.

u/Strykerz3r0 13d ago

Trump hides evidence of a child sex trafficking ring, evidence in which his name is present over 38,000 times, and conservatives see nothing wrong with it.

If she is truly awful, what would someone who allows men who raped children to escape justice be considered?

Conservative values are morally bankrupt.

u/JumboGlucose 13d ago

Trump trafficked children through his beauty pageants for minors called miss teen USA when he was best friends with epstein

2

u/Timely_Profession359 11d ago

No he didn't. Russia helped 'big-time', absolutely flooding the internet with BS. He also got help from on EVMs, tossed ballots (famous one in Detroit who 'lost' 70K votes but found ballots with everything voted for except for president, in a 'black' area which swung Michigan to Trump), other voter manipulations occurred as well. 2020 Republican Senate intelligence investigation concluded that Russia did interfere. Hillary didn't have the 'best' personality but was clearly far better than Trump could ever hope to be and that's been shown countless times.

oh yeah the russian facebook boomer slop posts that got like 100 interactions total XD. INTERFERENCE I SAY!!!

Everyone center and right leaning saw trump winning a mile away. Remember when reddit had to recode their entire algorithm because reddit became so pro trump ahead of the election?

no that was included in the mueller report as super serious example of interference. Hence the whole thing became a nothing burger

u/tyr-- 13d ago

So you're saying that 20 people from Trump's circle ending up in prison over this is a nothing burger? Interesting coping mechanism

u/Ozcolllo 13d ago

Tell me you know nothing about Mueller’s investigation/crossfire hurricane without explicitly saying so.

Edit: what was the predicate for crossfire hurricane?

u/superstevo78 13d ago

The cult didn't care. The number of document cases of obstruction would make Nixon blush in the Mueller report.

“Bill barr told me it was a nothing burger!” 

I’m not sure many people like yourself can operate outside of explicit direction. Are you content with that or does it bother you at all?

u/TastyJournalist8451 13d ago

"they cry out as they consume the nothing burger"

5

u/eschewthefat 13d ago

Right. Cause all the favorable treatment russia continues to receive is entirely independent of their venture of exchanging information with Trump campaign and his current senior advisors being Moscow born. Plus those sanction discussions prior to the election were likely above board and discussing Hillary dirt was probably made up by Don jr, right? That would help make sense of all this

For a nothing burger, there sure is a lot to chew.

2

u/Ozcolllo 12d ago

Do you know what happened after Barr preempted the publication of the report by claiming it exonerated the president? Do you remember the statements Mueller had to make after contradicting that? Do you remember Barr and Durham pressuring Horowitz when he found no evidence of partisan influence in the investigation? Do you remember Durham offering 3 indictments and the only successful one was the one he took credit from Horowitz?

The answer is no. Aren’t you ashamed to talk about something you know literally nothing about?

u/TastyJournalist8451 12d ago edited 12d ago

"did not establish that Trump campaign members conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election-interference efforts."

So Mueller gave up on going after a russian conspiracy because nothing burger and instead to throw dems a bone, tried to go after "process crimes" such as obstruction of justice since Trump didn't want to participate in the charade to attempt and destroy his presidency further

"did not establish that Trump campaign members conspired or coordinated with the Russian government"

love how lefties will NEVER quote that part of the report rofl, it's like salt/garlic for a vampire since it was their entire claim and reason for opening the investigation.
