One of the documents describes Putin and senior officials overseeing proxy efforts to spread claims that Biden, as vice president, engaged in criminal activity in his dealings with Ukraine and Burisma. The document says operatives affiliated with the Russian government advanced these narratives with U.S. officials and other prominent figures, through personal interactions as well as audio and documentary releases via U.S. and Ukrainian outlets.
It goes on to say these figures were conspiring to intensify their efforts as the election approached, aiming to “orchestrate a high-profile corruption scandal” implicating Biden and the Democratic Party in order to help Trump win.
The document describes an intelligence assessment that Russian government-linked proxies were working to damage Biden’s candidacy ahead of the vote, relying in part on U.S. officials and other prominent people to amplify the narratives, though many of the people involved remain redacted in the public version.
So if the Dems ever get on control they can look at these unredacted files and arrest the traitors. Right? And Biden didn’t do that because?
Because Merrick Garland absofuckinglutly needs to go down as the biggest fucking coward in this nations history.
He sat on his hands for 2 fucking years because he “didn’t want to look political.” Which of course gave Trump enough time to have his pet “Judge” Alieen Cannon delay delay delay delay until he won the election.
Well Merrick is a conservative - he’s a member of the Federalist society. He is certainly not an outright shithead like Alito, but don’t mistake fascist sympathies for cowardice.
Granted he may also be a coward separately.
And Biden knew that but appointed him anyway.
One of several reasons that will get him permanently ranked among the bottom 15 of presidents.
Looking at this without context in my inbox, I thought you were being extremely generous to Trump.
Putting Biden in the bottom 15 is harsh, but fair. Fucker’s gonna be remembered the same as Neville Chamberlain.
I would consider Biden to be a bundle deal with Trump. He isn’t the bullshit itself, but he was certainly the bull that made the pile.
I’ll never get over Biden saying we need a Republican party as well. Fuck, we don’t need the Democrats, why do we need hyper fascists?
Well Merrick is a conservative - he’s a member of the Federalist society.

Ah, the old “I’m not part of this group, I only hang out with them because they have good snacks” excuse.
Can we stop acting like it’s individual democrats that don’t have a spine? The entire party is controlled opposition. They’ve never once taken advantage of an opportunity to do better for the American people.
So, by his own account - Trump is guilty of treason. The current president of the United States of America has admitted to/provided evidence showing he has committed treason in order to become your commander-in-cheif.
How does that make you feel America? Are you actually going to do something about it now?
[To be clear, this is addressed to ALL of americas citizens - Including military and police personnel. Ofc average citizens would be afraid to do much more than protest when these people are protected by law enforcement, but will law enforcement continue to protect these people now, is the real question.]
will law enforcement continue to protect these people now, is the real question.
Yes
this has been another episode of “straightforward answers to simple questions.”
Law enforcement’s history was union busting and slave hunting. It has never served the good of the common man but the manipulative whims of the wealthy.
By his own account, and many many others. Too bad you can only execute a motherfucker once.
You can get close a whole bunch of times first though. That would be unpleasant.
At this point, I am almost hoping for a civil war. We seriously need to clean house and overhaul everything to prevent this bullshit for the next couple of centuries.
Don’t forget that he was elected as a convicted felon, and those felonies were largely committed in the process of cheating in the 2016 election.
This is yet another page, or maybe a new chapter at most, in the same old story.
“…to do much more than protest…”
It’d be great if they would protest the orange child rapist.Yeah, sure, when their Gestapo kill people there are a few small protests. However the protests about the demented wobbling bag of syphilis are severely lacking.
He and his handlers know: they can literally release the truth, maga won’t read it anyway. And will believe his spoken lies and not the printed truth.
Because they have accepted the last part: do not believe the evidence of your eyes. Just listen and obey the the sect leader.
It seems more likely to me that they just fucked up.
True, they are indeed exceptionally incompetent. It’s just; I think it also no longer matters “what the truth is” for these people (MAGA). They just ignore it, they just no longer know what the truth is and just “fall back” to following dear leader. “He probably has a plan!”
I’d call it “Trump Derangement Syndrome”
Not so much fucked up, they just threw everything out without caring what was on it, and they simply declared “this proves us right, shut up”. And nobody is going to do anything about the fact that it proves them wrong. Say something, maybe, do something, not happening from anyone who can do anything.
Like when they handed a reporter a giant binder on camera, and claimed it was the health care plan they intended to release “in two weeks?”
Later, the journalist looked at the pages in the binder, and those that weren’t simply blank pages, were nothing but printed out documents and emails. None of it was any kind of a health care plan. It was like someone grabbed a random binder off a shelf, and said “Give them this, and tell them it’s a health care plan.”
Apparently, they didn’t care that the journalist would later expose the binder as a fraud, they got the visual of the hefty “health care plan” being handed to a journalist, and that was good enough.
Just look at what he does, and ignore the noises coming out of his hamberder-hole. He’s serving up everything Putin wants on a schlocky gold-plated platter.
He’s serving up everything Putin wants
In 2018, the Trump administration approved a landmark $47 million military sale of 210 Javelin missiles to Ukraine, marking the first time the U.S. provided lethal aid to the country. Additionally, in July of that year, the Pentagon released $200 million in security assistance to Ukraine.
In September 2018, President Trump signed into law a 2019 spending bill that included $250 million in Defense Department funding for direct military aid to Ukraine.
All of this came with strings attached, of course.
The Kushner/Witkoff draft proposal for a negotiated settlement between Russia and Ukraine included a provision that the United States would receive “50 percent of profits” from the “venture” of rebuilding Ukraine’s destroyed infrastructure. Their view seems to be that peace is an asset to be leveraged and maximized.
Further… BlackRock had been enlisted to help build a strategy for what President Volodymyr Zelensky has called an $800 billion “prosperity plan.”
The meeting, held at BlackRock’s headquarters, kick-started work on identifying funding sources and investment priorities, according to three officials familiar with the conversation, who requested anonymity to discuss a closed-door meeting. More details are expected to be unveiled this week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
But in Kyiv and other European capitals, BlackRock’s role has generated more questions than answers, as the Trump administration steers plans for rebuilding Ukraine toward American business interests. Seven European and Ukrainian officials, who asked for anonymity to discuss sensitive talks, voiced doubts about BlackRock’s ability to attract the enormous investments envisioned. Some indicated that the firm’s involvement could turn away potential investors.
Crazy to think this is the shadowy hand of Vladimir Putin, when it has Trump’s immediate family and biggest American donors with their fingerprints all over it.
Russia, like China and the USA and Saudi Arabia and Israel, spend money and time on every Presidential election, whichever candidate they think will suit their interests more (as they always do).
We were aware of this when we allowed “Super PACs” to funnel money directly to bOtH pArTiEs without that pesky middleman (the law). So… of course we have President Trump, he is the end result of our own party’s unlimited greed.
When your government is for sale, you get what they pay for. I’d wager Musk and Bezos spent much more money on the last campaign than Russia, this is a “red herring”.
We did what now?
Super PACs became possible due to the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizen’s United decision. “We” had nothing to do with it, just like “we” had nothing to do with the overturning of Roe vs. Wade.
“We” do desperately need another 5 SC justices.
I used to believe we needed to add 3-5 additional justices, but I no longer believe that.
Now I believe we need to add 20 additional justices. The composition of the court shouldn’t be so tight that one bad-faith president can manipulate the system to negatively influence American society for the next 50 years.
We need 29 justices, with rolling term limits so that every president can appoint a few, but not enough to fundamentally change the direction of the court.
A country as big and influential as ours, needs to be responsible to our citizens and the world in keeping our political policies under control and trustworthy. How can any other nation make deals with America, when they know the very people they dealt with may change their minds tomorrow - literally. Nobody can trust such a capricious government, and nobody will work with us.
It is already happening, and America is starting to feel the results of permanent trade shifts away from American goods and markets. That is a direct result of recklessly fickle governmental policy at every level - trade, military, judicial, Congressional, presidential, etc. None of our systems can be trusted anymore.
Adding 20 justices to SCOTUS would be a big step in the right direction in taking true control of this country.
Trump’s supporters would be furious if they could read
So does this mean the claims were true?
I mean I already knew. Surprised it took this long. Yet, republicans probably disregard this
Is this when the maga base will drop their support, will the not care or will they just never hear about it
I do occasional business with a guy who is a hard core MAGA, and always has a TV on next to his desk, tuned to Fox News. I’ve been doing business with him for years, and that TV has NEVER been on a different channel.
He ONLY knows what Fox News tells him. Anything else from any other source is fake news.
I’d take my business elsewhere, but we have a good business relationship, and it’s good to know a few MAGAs so you can touch base with the delusion, and stay in touch with what’s going on.
