An all-encompassing Russian disinformation campaign is using everything from bots to lifestyle influencers to powerful state-run media to sow division in the United States.

    “My people came to me, [Director of National Intelligence] Dan Coats came to me and some others saying they think it’s Russia. I have President Putin, he just said it’s not Russia,” Trump said. “I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be.”

    This is only growing worse and the fact that we haven’t done anything about it only emboldens bad actors.

      Also, McCarthy was on tape admitting he ‘knew for certain’ that Trump and then-Rep. Dana Rorabacher were on the take with Russia. At this point you’re either a deluded, moron who only listens to Fox News, votes republican and doesn’t know what atoms are or how gravity works, or you’re on the left.

      You can thank Democrats for INSISTING that Republicans aren’t evil pieces of shit literally incapable of living up to their oaths of office.

      If we could treat these traitors like the traitors they are, we’d be in a hell of a lot better of a position as a country.

          Yep. Democrats constantly give Republicans more rope hoping they’ll hang themselves… while failing to realize the Republicans are using all of that slack to wrap the rope around our necks.

      going easy on republicans is only going to make it worse. make an example of them by throwing the ones calling for a civil war or secession in jail and they’ll stop, just ignore the whining they’ll do because their hurt feelings aren’t worth it

    Every single facet of that border bill was a front in what future historians will recognize as a battle front in World War III.
