1. “Duped” may be a stretch…

2. Weirdly, the link posted his pic despite the article itself having another on the story. I really wasn’t trying to make this necessarily about Trump. 🤷🏻‍♂️

3. “Duped”? Give me a fucking break

4. Duped my ass. Bought

5. The correct term is “bribed”

6. As always when the US finally responds to Russian and Chinese operations on US soil it’s too little and too late. These influencers have already influenced 50% of the US population. Similar to the response to the Chinese spy balloon, it’s after the fact and weak.

   A proper response to Russian aggression would be to allow Ukraine to strike Russia. It won’t happen though.

7. I see one of the ‘duped’ is some Canadian cunt right wing idiot. I wonder how many other Canadian influencers are being paid by Moscow? Typicall. It takes the US authorities to find corruption happening in Canada. What the fuck are the RCMP and Csis doing? This one was obviously found by the DOJ because they were posting about US politics, but Putin is trying to bring down democracies everywhere. What is being done in Canada, and everywhere else destabilising free countries. Wake the fuck up everyone.

8. “Duped”? I doubt that.

9. “duped”

10. The only influence they got was this current story which appears to still be in the early stages / is ironic that its release occurs so soon to the election.

11. “Duped”? I think they meant convinced with money to sell out their country and allies

12. “Who is this person paying me 100k+ a video to repeat russian propeganda and demonize the people who are pro-Ukranian?”

    I guess we’ll never know.

13. There was no duping, they knew exactly what they were doing and where it was coming from.

14. ‘Duped’ my ass. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing, they just didn’t care and know their cover is blown.

    I want to see their heads roll FFS.

15. Duped? These people do it for bucks.

16. So they are either crooked, easily bought or stupid. Pick one (or two, or all three! )

17. Then again, there are some like Tim Tool that does it willingly.

18. Like you’re duped into getting wet by wanting to go swimming.

19. They weren’t duped. Stop giving them a pass.

20. “Duped” is doing some heavy lifting.

21. Duped…already preparing the way out I see.

22. Hahaha DUPED. No, it was on purpose. They hate anything that left and centrists support.

23. I kind of enjoy how every response to this one is basically the same… we all know.

24. So when is it called a war and these guys have to stand trial for treason

25. Dupped?

    The check that the media company they work for got was $10 million dollars and Pool was allegedly making 100k a week.

    How the hell can you even claim you don’t know when dealing with that kind of money and knowing the IRS is going to be reviewing everything you file?
