Russia? Meddling in our elections?
No way.
- Some republican, in sincerity.
Preparing to? Just do it.
- The already did. The story was updated. Happened right after the story was posted.
I assumed everyone assumed it was just ongoing.
- I guess there is a difference between "it's known to happen" and "a nation state accuses another nation state"
Since when is this news? Hasn't this been on-going for at least the better part of the last decade?

U.S. says Russian bots, RT operatives sought to interfere in U.S.
J'accuse!
- H'ot tub
  
  L'otters are not afraid
- What about ourselves? We interfere in elections all the time. We basically installed Zelensky ourselves if I understand the situation correctly.
Wen Rogan? The guy could be absolutely dumb enough to just be falling for the disinformation, but he sure does parrot a lot of Kremlin talking points.
- Yeah there are very few American commentators I'd actually believe are Russian assets except for Tucker Carlson, who has had a pattern of supporting not just authoritarian Russian policy but authoritarian China policy dating even back to his Fox News show (I believe Russia and China are allies)
Always Preparing, Just GO!
Now throw Musk in.
- I will need to look more into what is happening but the timing of things are starring to look very strange...Signal's CEO getting arrested and now Tim Pool getting labeled a Russian asset after he decides to sue Kamala Harris for defamation...hmm...
  
  Tim pool is a moron and his lawsuit is going nowhere. It's obvious there was no defamation in their tweet. Hell, kamala's defense could simply be "we were talking about Laura".
her emails, his laptop. somethings gotta stick. lets see what djt thinks
</sarcasm>
notice if I post on political toots I get a few zero follower accounts following me. never follow back but odd. not really paranoid so not really after me? meh
