rolling trump-russian collusion

So is the big moment coming when they finally take down Trump and all his cronies?

When is that deus ex machina perp walk that saves us from having to actually accomplish anything politically?

when flushing a particularly repulsive and sticky turd the jets of water must come from all directions

"Mark Whitaker, now in charge of the Mueller investigation, chaired the 2014 campaign of Sam Clovis, a grand jury witness in that investigation."

LOL @ GOPutin

so this guy has even more of a reason to recuse than Sessions did

guessing he won't but lol if he does

Cool. After two years of vaguely political comments on Reddit I finally attracted a Петербу́рг/Москва́ fan, who has followed me with pro-Trump comments on wholly unrelated threads.

The only thing I've said acknowledging our new acquaintance is "вы влагалище", which Google translates as "you are a cunt". Purely based on my English-language hierarchy dick,jerk < asshole < cunt. It's not a gender thing for me.

Is this an insult in Russian? Are their more cutting and less overtly misogynistic ways of making this point?

This may be important for many others on this thread with Russian followers.

i wonder who else benefited from this ; )

who else?

maybe no one

Eventually, I expect to sell my firstborn to the Qatari Wealth Fund and Glencore. As someone who has only hovered on the margins of commodity markets, the growth of both over the past two decades is just staggering.

this is cute

Well now. Russians claiming a hack of the DNC was a legitimate "military attack"

That's going to have repercussions for the Americans who were conspiring with them. https://t.co/ixw1jkl0Uj

hm yeah doesn't conspiring in a military action against the US govt constitute treason

DNC isn't the government.

But as I've been trying to push out in monthly increments to Trumpster relatives, they're unwitting accomplices to a multi-faceted information warfare attack on American sovereignty and interests. The Trump campaign was just one arm, and probably not the most important one (given its likelihood of abject failure). The more important Russian information warfare attacks have infiltrated nodes of the U.S. electric grid and major corporations. Maybe its all deterrence against similar infiltrations of Russian infrastructure, but I suspect its really Russia turning one of its few strengths (a bunch of hackers, who will work for rubles) into a force multiplier.

At first my relatives responded by regurgitating kool-aid. After a dozen or so of these I don't get responses. Maybe they've all got me blocked, or maybe they are starting to see the pattern.

weird how emma kennedy has became a sort of louise mensch lite

weird how much better at chess russians are than americans

carlos d would make a much better choice imho

More evidence of the absence of US leadership. Next up: A Russian official in charge of @INTERPOL_HQ . https://t.co/Qns7iNL9bl

"the head of interpol has herpes"

Days after the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Russian legal authorities deployed the rule of law for political purposes, Interpol is about to elect a Russian government official as its head. Crazy. https://t.co/uZ4oobjnPN

i don't know much about interpol *insert carlos D* joke, but

?

"deployed the rule of law for political purposes" is a very strange uh, term of art? is it?

maybe it's a autocorrect-ism for "destroyed"

I just want them to be sure. It’s a pretty serious charge. I know a lot about hacking and hacking is a very hard thing to prove. So it could be somebody else, and I also know things that other people don’t know, so they cannot be sure of this situation.

wait, he has a boy who is ten years old?

Baron!

12

What's Baron Von Trump been up to?

Baron is definitely not 10

The story is from two years ago.

Maybe Baron was 12 then but he is 10 now

lol @ gop

“It turns out to be true now, that the Department of Justice and the FBI, under President Obama, rigged the investigation for Hillary and really turned the screws on Trump, and now it looks like in a corrupt & illegal way. The facts are out now. Whole Hoax exposed. @JesseBWatters

This is the filing I've been waiting for today. The SCO says evidence in Roger Stone's case was found in accounts that were searched for the GRU case, in which 11 Russian military officers were charged with a conspiracy to interfere in the election. https://t.co/yjUIoCF0wG pic.twitter.com/YtnezsGx7K

A source close to Deutsche Bank says Trump’s tax returns show he pays very little income tax and, more importantly, that his loans have Russian co-signers.

If true, that explains every kind word Trump has ever said about Russia and Putin. @TheLastWord 10pm

Today in Syria: Russia takes control of main U.S. military facility abandoned earlier this week by American forces on Trump’s orders. This area is south of Kobani and went to Russia under the Putin-Erdogan deal. Russia now also owns the airstrip we built. pic.twitter.com/uO5AHdKMi3

that's a fair and thorough takedown of abramson

Gotta say, I’ve lived my entire life with the stain of Russian heritage in my family. Then came their conspiracy to alter the 2016 election. A year later they hacked my computer.

But now they’ve attacked my boy Panarin so I’ll make it official:

Fuck you, Vladimir Putin.#NYR https://t.co/MGFd1xPeZp

"stain" 🤔

unfortunate word choice there.

fun fact: Keith Olbermann has never left the United States in his life

wait i may have that wrong - he's definitely never visited Europe though
