But the Orange Turd an his lap dog Pete Hokstra are warning Canada not to interfere with the American midterms.
Fuckin Americans, never thought I’d see the day they about face and call Russians friends instead of Canadians.

I love it when everyone blames Russia for the US empire. It is the US government that is causing all of our problems, not some foreign interference.

Social media is the cancer of today’s society

We noticed.
They use the word moron a lot.

I love it when I already had you tagged as "LibsBad vatnik weirdo".

Got any strong feelings on warm water ports you want to share while you're at it?

An online influence operation backed by the Russian government has been stepping up its attempts to sow division in the United States and inflame tensions around Israel as a political wedge issue,

Yes that is the only reason people are upset with out ties to Israel

It's true though? The US is literally helping Israel commit genocide. Why does this have to keep getting pointed out?

Can't have it both ways. Remove the orange turd and end this BS. Do it now.

I wonder how many are on Lemmy here.

Fuck the New York Times. They have 0 credibility on Israel, and 0 on democratic politics. It's their fault we are in this place.

They've also done fuckall this term. Have they broken a single big story on the administration? No.

OP should not post this drivel without a disclaimer.

OP is full of shit. Taking the NYT at face value on Israel and democratic politics without a disclaimer removes any credibility op has.

Can't face the reality that your own government is your enemy?

Correct. Because you're talking about a different government from my government.

Well, that was the deal for easing sanctions on diesel, of course. The US allows Russia to get money from imports again so they can kill Ukrainians, and the GOP get the influence machine Russia has built to influence the midterms, along with a few billion from Musk and crew for the overt manipulation. Trump will unilaterrally enforce energy infrastructure strikes against Russian refineries, while ignoring Russian strikes, and Elon will restrict internet to anything in that area that moves faster than a walking pace, while spending upwards of a billion dollars on GOP politicians in the next month.

And the Democrats will say absolutely nothing, and vote to help it if it looks like there's enough Republicans that have grown disgusted enough even for them with the system to try to rein the administration in.

In a perfect world, all these traitorous crimes would be punished with a Pete Hegseth style public firing squad. But we know that's not happening.
