August 24, 20232 yr Lindsey doing what he always does and jumps to whichever side he feels has an advantage.
August 24, 20232 yr gut feeling, but i don't think Prigozhin was actually on that plane. i think he is in a russian prision somewhere being tortured and his death will be slow and horrific.

August 24, 20232 yr Calling someone the "butt" of a joke is typically a euphemism. But in the case of @Abracadabra it's LITERALLY TRUE! BWAHAHAHAHAHA (this insult brought to you by four drams of Beefeater)
August 25, 20232 yr Russia is sinking its own ships in a desperate attempt to protect a vital bridge from sea drones, Ukraine says Russia is sinking its own ferries in the Kerch Strait in an attempt to create a barrier that will protect a vital bridge from sea-drone attacks, the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Defense Ministry (GUR) says. In a Telegram post on Tuesday, the GUR said Russian troops were preparing to sink at least six ferries in the strait to safeguard the Kerch Bridge, which connects Russian-occupied Crimea to the Russian mainland. Russia had already sunk the first vessel, the GUR said, and was preparing to sink its second. It's unclear how Russia is sinking the ships. But Ukraine said that Russia eventually planned to "install boom barriers between the flooded ferries" to form a defensive line, according to a translation by the Kyiv Post. Similar to anti-torpedo nets, boom defenses are physical barriers or nets that either encircle potential targets in the sea or cross the mouth of a harbor or a strait for protection against drones. They've been used since World War II. But Stephen Wright, a drone-technology developer, told Insider the new tactic wouldn't prove useful for Russia, at least against drone attacks. "I can see that these 'block ships' could be useful against a different kind of attack, perhaps a large ship being hijacked and rammed into the bridge, or even manned submarines," he said. "But against a weapon as small and agile as the sea drones that we have seen though? They won't stop that." Russia has been trying to deploy all kinds of defenses amid a series of audacious Ukrainian sea-drone attacks in the area, which have previously damaged large warships. The attacks have ramped up ever since Ukraine unveiled a new sea drone that packs hundreds of pounds of explosives and is faster than anything in the Black Sea

If you can't see that all of this is about money - all of it - including Trump's indictments - you've got your eyes closed. Right. It's a conspiracy when it doesn't align with your values. But the crimes Trump got indicted for weren't about his money and power and the "special interests" of the Trump family, of course. No no no.

But the crimes Trump got indicted for weren't about his money and power and the "special interests" of the Trump family, of course. No no no. Yah, it's just a coincidence that all of these indictments are taking place during a presidential campaign and are being filed at around the same time. If Trump's policies financially enriched those who funded the election of the likes of Bragg and Willis, those indictments never would have happened. They would not be opposing his re-election. They'd be promoting it. Money drives special interests. Trump's biggest crime is being a populist and implementing policies that hurt these special interests bottom line. That's irrespective as to whether these policies are good for the nation. As for his "crimes" - these are some of the most creative indictments you'll ever see. As they teach you in first year criminal law, EVERYBODY is a criminal. The laws are written very broadly. A motivated DA would have zero problem getting a grand jury to indict the likes of Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden or even Joe Biden if he were out of office. You don't think a grand jury in the heart of red Texas wouldn't do so in a heartbeat?

Explain why his own VP and Attorney General are more willing to call out his crimes than you—someone who only knows him from TV. You're good at repeating what MAGA media tells you to, but MAGA media doesn't tell you WHY his crimes are not crimes. They just scream "unfair" and "political prosecution" and hope that you don't ask questions. Which you never do.

Wrong thread: check Pretending that you're a lawyer: check Downplaying felonies: check Typing George Soros' name at least 3 times and then hastily erasing it because you realize how stupid you sound: check Regurgitation of literally every single right wing talking point: check Hunter Biden reference: check It's a Procus post alright. The only way this could more of a Procus post is if you somehow made it it's own thread featuring a poll.
August 25, 20232 yr trumpers are consistent with their stupid. you cannot take that away from them. and react this way when ever they hear the word, laptop.
August 25, 20232 yr Author @Procus@Abracadabra Newly declassified US intel claims Russia is laundering propaganda through unwitting Westerners Russian intelligence is operating a systematic program to launder pro-Kremlin propaganda through private relationships between Russian operatives and unwitting US and western targets, according to newly declassified US intelligence. US intelligence agencies believe that the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) is attempting to influence public policy and public opinion in the West by directing Russian civilians to build relationships with influential US and Western individuals and then disseminate narratives that support Kremlin objectives, obscuring the FSB’s role through layers of ostensibly independent actors.
