This is obviously just a distraction from the Epstein files, but I wouldn’t mind starting a tradition of each president (and politician in general) retiring from office directly into their own trial.

This Russiagate BS is almost certainly nonsense, but Obama’s hands aren’t any cleaner than the average president.

“We put all our politicians in prison as soon as they’re elected. Don’t you?”
“Why?”
“It saves time.”

White House to prison pipeline.

Also, I want a tradition of declassifying everything the previous administration did

Yeah, like this may be a show trial but they did happene to pick someone who actually is guilty, so

This article has no sources, nor documents. Even the claim being made, that “the President’s National Security team was asked to investigate Russian interference in the US elections” isn’t even condemnable. This literally only exists as propaganda for headline skimmers

Can't believe I'm coming to an incredibly qualified defense of Obama here, but I think this is a nothingburger. Gabbard appears to be conflating intelligence community findings that Russia didn't attempt to directly manipulate the vote count with the squishier narrative that the dems adopted in the post-election ass covering scramble so top-level party members could be spared the wrath of the donors. The fact that the Trump campaign was talking to Russian officials is still a matter of public record, there's just disagreement over what level of impact that had on the election - Mueller concluded that there was little, while the Dems continued to insist that it did because their face-saving campaign relied on it.

Not sure why we've suddenly decided to start posting Republican party propaganda just because the Democrats also suck.

What even is that source? Russian propaganda?

First proposed in 2005 and subsidized by Venezuela, Telesur was launched under the government of Hugo Chávez, and promoted as "a Latin socialist answer to CNN". It has been described as a network showcasing the diversity of Latin America and a propaganda outlet for state views under chavismo.

This isn’t news. This is Russian propaganda. Delete this.

Lol sorry what is this website?

[-] axont@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

It's telesur, what do you mean?

Anything that doesn't just regurgitate the AP is obviously not a credible news source /s

[-] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Right, because this narrative had any impact on the MAGAt bullshit at all. I only ever see liberals and leftists slinging the"russian troll" accusations at eachother. Meanwhile, Obama isn't running again, so there's no point in this post save for that rarest-of-all beasts; virtue signalling from the right.

I'm sorry you have nothing better to do OP, but you couldn't pay me to regurgitate this garbage propoganda. Do you just have no dignity or self-respect, or are they threatening your family?

Charz, but no charz.
