Another scandal a whiff of which would topple any Democrat, or even a Republican in decades past, which today will not even move the needle.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Conservatives will see this and say "of course he's a russian asset, you cant trust any of the deep state actors to actually protect Americans" or some variation of "its perfectly normal he has a mail order bride who is the daughter of a russian magnate and Kremlin member, the fact you think this is evidence proves how easily you believe msm lies"
As someone who frequents a dive bar in a red area, yes, this is exactly the things they say.
Reminder:
All of Trump’s Russia Ties, in 7 Charts
And that was 8 years ago...
The whole fucking Republican party is Putin's bitch. This is not news.
ALL Trump officials have Kremlin ties. Since they are selected by Krasnov
Not at all surprised.
I've been saying this since the Trump stole and concealed the classified documents, but our government is completely exposed and infiltrated by adversaries (Russia, China) at this point. Everything is owned by Russian assets, I mean Krasnov himself is one.
Even since January 6, when all kinds of foreign agents entered the Capitol to plant bugs, it really started to expose every inner working of the US government. It's sad that so many government employees and contractors go to such extreme lengths to protect information, when the "leadership" is so blatantly in bed with Russia. We're done, and it will probably be a generation before we can recover any type of secrecy from Russia and China.
You're so right, I hadn't even considered the possibility of foreign agents using jan 6th as cover for gaining access to congress. It makes so much sense it hurts. They telegraphed that for months, any adversary would have been fully aware and had time to get their people in the crowd. They'd be stupid not to have taken that opportunity.
Would be more of a shock to find a Trumpnik without Kremlin ties.
I'm SHOCKED I tell you... SHOCKED
Sure would be a shame if all these republicans started getting Russianed out of windows.
Those aren't ties, those are damn zip ties around his neck lol
Colour me surprised. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
