    Yet another confirmation of what we’ve known already for a long time, that the far-right and MAGA are pawns for the Russians…

    I mean christ almighty I don’t think there’s a single person alive who sucked Putin’s dick as hard as Trump did during his time as president, and he’s supposed to be the poster-child for the whole thing.

    Those words coming from a political wing known for screaming at minorities to learn to speak American should be another huge tell that her motivation is not as she presents it.

        Yeah, nobody hanged for killing their fellow Americans for the right to own human beings. Like, that’s fucking insane. Motive obviously needs taken into account with crimes, and their motive just made their crimes worse.

    I just had to post this in reply to a comment someone replied to me yesterday, because they were adamant Fashy Maggie was just a useful idiot and not a Russian agent.

    Turns out, the user is just a useful idiot running interference for Kremlin supported Republicans. I’m shocked.

        When they accept money for their service?

        If you are pushing Russias talking points and not getting paid for it then that is the definition of an idiot.

            We do not have access to her accounts, and we are not allowed to audit people’s transactions.

            IRS should be able to figure out whether she took money from the Russian.

            But to answer your question indirectly, I didn’t suggest that she was a Russian agent, I was just responding to the part about distinguishing between agents and idiots. I wouldn’t be shocked if she was doing it on the hope that they would pay her rather than actually being paid.

      The FBI would be the one to investigates internal affairs, the NSA and CIA are supposed to be tasked for foreign investigations. The FBI at one point did an outstanding job of discovering corruption in our politicians at one point but they did such a good job congress made sure to neuter them so they could never do it again. It was called Operation Abscam if you want to look it up.

    Note on the whole Hungary thing:

    In Hungary, territorial revisionism is very popular. A lot of people blame Treaty of Trianon for every ill Hungary gets, thanks to our education system being unable to teach nuanced statements like "maybe the Hungarians weren’t always the heroes, and sometimes did bad things.

    Adam Something used to have a video on the subject, detailing the lengths Hungarian education system went to Disneyfy some of our past crimes (thankfully, when it comes to the Holocaust, it only goes “dude, we absolutely got a gun held to our heads, what do you mean by the anti-Jewish laws?”).

    American congressmen tripping about aid to Ukraine when the war with Russia is basically here. Prepare for more violence than you can imagine, that’s where they’re taking us.
