  1. Russians have bought Johnson and Trump many years ago, that is quite obvious. But many Trumplicans, like the land of the USA, are free.

  4. Is this actually a question? I thought it was pretty damn obvious.

  5. Whatever the truth is behind the GOP stance on Russia, NATO and Ukraine, it’s antithetical to “good, old” conservative American values. There’s literally no *objective* advantage for the US in the MAGA position. Absolutely none. Plain weird.

  6. You bet. You’ll find many of the astroturffed orgs are getting funded too.

  10. In France here they literaly sent money to different party at different time. Back in the soviet days they were funding PCF and now it’s RN (both are on opposite side of political compass lol)

  11. >As for payments, we’ve seen a disturbing pattern. In 2017, Andrew Intrater donated $250,000 to Trump’s inauguration fund and, a few months later, donated $35,000 to Trump’s reelection campaign. Intrater is a cousin of Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian oligarch who was sanctioned by the U.S. in 2018 for his connections to Putin. We know that oligarchs play an integral role in funding Russian influence operations. One oligarch revealed to special counsel Robert Mueller that Putin held quarterly meetings with his oligarchs to discuss strategic spending.

    This makes me wonder which oligarch is currently most closely connected to Trump. Its a given that they are all trying to give/receive messages to/from Trump and its unlikely Trump is being a boy scout and refusing to listen. I wonder who Trump’s main go-between is. I wonder if US intel knows.

  12. It’s always happened. The British bought Spanish generals during WW2 to dissuade then from joining the war on the axis side.

  15. just saying in canada i saw a convoy of 5 trucks with massive palestine, russian, and the Z and hamas flag, like why the fuck are you even in canada

  17. What a stupid fucking question. Some of the republicans are giving it away for free

  18. President Regan is rolling in his grave over what has become of his party 😪

  19. Absolutely. And AG Garland doesn’t seem to have any interest in investigating it. He’s as useless as tits on a boar.
