It's a bit more complicated than that.
Putin has invested billions in spreading propaganda in the US. Once he started, right wing Americans helped spread and amplify his lies.

This is a detailed film about how deceptive Russia's campaign has been since before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Being poor is not a career choice and it's almost never optional. Living in poverty and relying on government support doesn't mean people are supposed to suffer and not enjoy some of the pleasures we all enjoy.
Being poor isn't a character flaw, it's a lack of money.

It's the classic 'boys will be boys' defense. Although I'm surprised, it's usually used to refer to sexual assault and not racist texts. Just ask Justice Kavanaugh...
Now I'm wondering what kind of 'mischief' Vance got into when he was a boy other than doing the nasty w the couch.

I'm waiting for the media to start talking about the Felon's many & incessant lies. And where's the ultimate expert on dementia Jake Tapper when we need him?

Does anyone else doubt that Hegseth thought of doing this to the press w/o some guidance from Nazi-in-residence Stephen Miller?

OANN signed but then I'd expect nothing less from them. They're even more of a right-wing propaganda site than Fox. I was surprised that Fox and Newsmax both refused to sign.

He's not just informing us racism is bad, he's warning us that it will get worse in our immediate future.

ICE fabrications about why people are being arrested are becoming more far-fetched and outlandish. This is why everyone at protests needs to record everything. Only by documenting what happens will be be able hold these people accountable for their illegal actions.
Welcome to American fascism!

When government agencies are directly associated w for-profit prisons and government oversight is non-existent we're past a tipping point into a dictatorship.
Parallels between Nazi Germany and Orbán's Hungary are blatantly obvious.
Puppet-master Stephen Miller is the primary motivator of all this.

Laws and constitutional protections do not apply to this regime!

Larry_in_WI @larry1504.bsky.social · 16h

What kind of 'tip' would allow a search when the people supposedly involved lived there 2 yrs ago?

This must be a new form of 'swatting' where ICE is called instead of police.

Being an attorney for the Felon has been the death of many legal careers, w many more to come!

The evidence they have that these people were drug traffickers is as substantial as their evidence the 2020 election was stolen by Biden.

The US government now has a secret police force terrorizing American cities and a military willing/able to kill on command.
The purge of government employees deemed disloyal to the Felon only makes matters worse. Add on the lack of government oversight only compounds the danger our democracy faces.

Can we reasonably assume that this regime is employing as many members of right-wing groups like the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, etc. as they can hire?

The footnotes tell a story I don't think Gym Jordan realizes. Using media sources as foundations of a quasi-legal investigation would classify as invalid hearsay in a court of law.

The MoH has never been awarded to a civilian.
It's bad enough 2 dozen were given to men who slaughtered Lakota men, women and children at Wounded Knee in the largest mass shooting in US history.
It would dishonor the memory of every recipient of the MoH if he awards himself this medal!

Both Nixon and Bill learned it's not the deed so much as it is the cover up to hide evidence and obstruct the investigation.

Just how many Republicans are on this list?
