Yes, Collusion with Russia; Trump, the Republican Party, and American conservatives are allies and paid by Putin’s Russia

"Fool me once, shame, shame on you.  Fool me twice... won't get fooled again!" - George still the W(orst President Ever) Bush.

Sold Out in Russia

For years, it was obvious, the Republican Party was a wholly owned subsidiary of the FSB/GRU and by
extension Vladimir Putin.  Now, we have concrete legal evidence and a wide-ranging indictment which names numerous Republican influencers receiving money from Russia.

By whatever mechanism they got there the Republican Party is in willingly cahoots with Vladimir Putin to undermine Law&Order and destroy the United States of America.  Throughout history, dissident groups have always sought to undermine their own peoples, Nations, or rulers using foreign influence to put themselves back into power so this is nothing new.

When Russian Ron Johnson and other Republican Senators paid homage to Vlad Putin by visiting Russia on Independence Day 2018, were a clear cut example of paying fealty to your Lord and Ruler. 

Trump is, of course, a special case as he invited the nascent Russian Mob and their illicit funds into all of his New York City operations in the 1990's to bolster his failing fortunes.  By, the time Trump stole into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, he openly invited Russian agents into the Oval Office, where they yucked up their collusion and strike at the heart of American freedom, democracy, and liberty.

Now, comes a Department of Justice charging document highlighting how numerous rightwing influencers and journalists are paid "indirectly" by Russian agents.

CatTurd believes in Benny; DOJ doesn't

And look who got paid;  you'll be unsurprised by those named, Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, David Rubin, and Lauren Southern rightwing liars who push rightwing lies and call for the arrest and deaths of Democratic officials holders and whatever groups or individuals Republicans are currently demonizing.

“Should these allegations prove true, I as well as the other personalities and commentators were deceived,” bald weirdo Tim Pool wrote.  Pool you will recall called for the summary arrest of Democrats for unspecified crimes to which Laura Loomer called for Execution and when #KamalaHQ pointed out this, he threatened to sue for having his words quoted.

“I knew absolutely nothing about any of this fraudulent activity. Period,” wrote Dave Rubin, a gay Republican who apparently enjoys being attacked for being gay by his rightwing fans.

And if you believe these rightwing liars didn't know they were lying and catapulting Russian propaganda, while being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, well you're most likely one of these Twitter (X) Bots created to amplify the propaganda or a MAGA choade unreachable by facts, logic, reason, evidence, or reality.

There are two groups of Republicans who will respond to this Department of Justice indictment;  one group are soft and they've been bamboozled by Trump and the Republicans for a long, long time but, having swallowed Trump's lies and Republican falsehoods for so long its' far easier for them to allow themselves to be fooled again rather than confront the truth; that they support a party which is wedded to destroying the Nation, enslaving the vast majority of the American people into perpetual corporate bondage, while murdering those who resist.  So they will swallow their cognitive dissonance and vote for Trump 3rd time.

Or...  like most of Trump's rabid psychotic Neo-Nazi supporters they will attack this as "weaponization" of the Department of Justice and dig in further because they want POWER; the power to beat women, the power to spit on migrants and homeless people, the power to imprison minorities, the power to tell liberals, democrats, and everyone who is not them what to do.  And finally the power to kill those whom they hate.  

And make no mistake, Republicans hate YOU, Republicans hate America, and Republicans want to destroy America and replace it with their Fascist Fundamentalist Dream State.

Here's Mike Davis, slated to be Trump's Attorney General in 2025, talking to paid Russian stooge Benny Johnson,

 I will rain hell on Washington, D.C. We've talked about this, Ben. I have five lists, ready to go and they're growing. List number one, we're gonna fire. We're gonna fire a lot of people in the executive branch, in the deep state. Number two, we're gonna indict. We're gonna indict Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and James Biden and every other scumball, sleazeball, Biden, except for the five year old granddaughter who they refused to acknowledge for five years until the political pressure got to Joe Biden.

Number three, we're gonna deport. We're gonna deport a lot of people, 10 million people and growing - anchor babies, their parents, their grandparents. We're gonna put kids in cages. It's gonna be glorious. We're gonna detain a lot of people in the D.C. gulag and Gitmo. And list number five, I'm gonna recommend a lot of pardons. Every January 6th defendant is gonna get a pardon, especially my hero horn man. He is definitely at the top of the pardon list. 

Look, maybe... maybe, actual proof that Republican liars are actively being paid by Putin causes Trump to lose some votes, but don't count on it.  Trump is the White Rightwing Male fantasy.  They draw him up like muscly Rambo not because they see him that way but, that they see themselves that way.  Trump represents the last, best hope to do what Republicans have sought for 50 years;  the complete and total destruction of the United States of America. 

Will the Corporate Media cover President Biden's stunning diplomatic success in recovering hostages?

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told Biden, "For you I will do this..." 

For a few more hours but probably not much longer than that...  Because now that these long detained people are back on American and our allies soil it's an old story and boring!  Oooooh, let's see what weird racist garbage Trump (or maybe creepy Vance) has to say!

President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris greeted three Americans released by Russia in a complex prisoner swap involving 24 people being held in six countries when they arrived on U.S. soil late Thursday. 

A plane carrying Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, Marine veteran Paul Whelan and Russian-American radio journalist Alsu Kurmasheva landed at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland after they were freed as part of the swap that also involved Germany, Slovenia, Poland and Norway. 

President Joe Biden pulled off a stunning foreign policy triumph only made possible by the hard work of the Biden State Department and President Biden's years long dedication.  Joe Biden repaired not only NATO but numerous alliances and relationships with countries across the world.  He's really been a tremendous President.

Look...  I know, despite what they may say, Foreign Policy doesn't matter to the American electorate.  And the only thing about foreign relations, which matters to the Corporate Media, is when they get to ride along with the military watching people get killed so the journalist can write their "harrowing" memoir. 

The American people have suffered a severe disservice throughout their lives as the've learned a simple jingoistic concept of foreign relationships.  They've been taught over and over again that the man who struts around and declares they are the awesome Dealmaker with perfect phone calls, must be real good at their job but, intuitively everyone (conservatives included) knows anyone who calls themself "The King" is no true king and anyone who showboats or is a loudmouth braggart is a phony.

But, it's no surprise creepy J.D. Vance played the typical card of Republicans taking credit for things which happen when they aren't even in office,

“But we have to ask ourselves, why are they coming home? And I think it’s because bad guys all over the world recognize Donald Trump’s about to be back in office, so they’re cleaning house,” Vance said. “That’s a good thing. And I think it’s a testament to Donald Trump’s strength.”

• Take Credit for things you don't, do
• Deny Blame for things you do, do
• Proclaim Your Greatness.

Ridiculous, insulting, and laughable.  Trump made some weird nonsense claim similar to when he lied about the Brittney Griner exchange.  But, MAGA cultists don't care Trump's false claims and weird loudmouth proclamations are all that matter to them, truth is irrelevant.  Trump is a weak man's version of strength, a dullards version of competent, and a traitor's version of patriotism...  

When asked about Trump's bullshit claims of what he would have done, President Joe Biden smiled and replied, “Why didn’t he do it when he was president?”

This is true leadership, patriotism, and a President who cares about the American people rather than his weird ego and bank accounts.  But, that matters little to Corporate Media, who still have yet to call for Trump's withdraw as the Republican nominee, let alone declare him unfit for any office.

The Corporate Media is already bored with Vice President Kamala Harris ascendency and incoming Presidency, so the Fucking New York Times (FTFNYT) declared the honeymoon over and Trump sensing an opening decided to be as weird and racist as possible at the NABJ interview knowing the Washington Post, NPR, Faux News (of course) and the major media platforms would rush to put his creepy weirdo racist garbage on the front page of their websites and sagely debate the nuances of how this is bad news for the Kamala Harris campaign.

Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo highlighted this chestnut

Right now, journalists are covering this historic success but, eagerly awaiting Trump's next racist declaration insulting VP Harris so they can keep him front and center.  But, while the Corporate media is doing what they always do, helping Republicans get elected President Biden and soon-to-be President Harris are helping the American people.

So, celebrate this victory with releasing innocent people held hostage by key Trump ally Vladimir Putin but, keep fighting because no one is going to save us, we have to fight alongside true Americans like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
