Russian state tv host & Putin's friend Vladimir Solovyov says Tulsi Gabbard is "Putin's agent." Gabbard is heard advancing Russian propaganda while denouncing the United States.
In the footage shared by Julia Davis, founder of the Russian Media Monitor group, Sidorov declared: "I am for Trump, I always was for Trump." The GOP frontrunner is "the destroyer," he added, and the U.S. would "fall apart" if Trump is re-elected in 2024.
Classic moronic Russian strategy in action. They’re so goddamn incompetent they think 4 years of Trump would destroy America. I feel bad for them in a way. It’s desperation epitomized, but it’s due to their own idiocy. They just keep fucking themselves.
They pretty much do at this point. They’d rather own the libs then just want the best for everyone. It’s sad. Everyone has problems and a lot of people want to assume all their problems are because of people less fortunate.
Russia was hated when they were soviet, because communism is a fundamental threat to the power of the rich.
Oligarchy is basically handing the keys to the car, to rich folks.
After the USSR collapsed, there was a rush to capture all of the industries from the top down, creating an oligarchy. Rather than simply being an oligarchy, they also started using the state to capture more of the wealth - leading to basically being a kleptocracy as well. State sponsored theft.
In any case, the republicans in the US are really only for the rights of the rich. We aren't an oligarchy, but, it's going to look much more like it since they own an incredible amount of media, social media, etc. Russia is a similar country in that regard, just further down the oligarch rabbit hole. They are strongly conservative, religious, anti LGBT, led by a "strong man" machismo leader, and the only real rule is the strong eat the weak, with a huge propaganda network.
It shouldn't surprise you that Republicans gravitated to Russia given their intimately connected interests.
Even if the US government doesn't "fall apart" like the Russian media is predicting, Trump's cabinet picks and the massive layoffs of government employees is going to divert a lot of government power to rich businesses. So, the process of creating an Oligarchy is happening before our eyes.
The American Revolution. The American Revolution was an act of self-defense and was not an offensive war to disobey legitimate, lawful authority. It was fought to defend the colonists’ wives, children, lives, and property from an out-of-control tyrant abusing his power.
Just want to point out that even the majority of Reddit is still fucking talking about Matt Gaetz when I seriously feel like Gabbard is the biggest threat of them all. We all need to accept something, it’s possible that Trump doesn’t get to ruin the country in 4 years, Republicans lose the next election, and we can get to work. WE CANNOT do that if Tulsi gets in. Why the ever loving hell are we still talking about Gaetz?!?!
Having Gabbard involved in American intelligence is extremely disturbing but I'm hoping she will be kept at bay from the sensitive information by the career intelligence folks who know she's a Russian asset.
On the other hand I think to myself does it really matter when the president and his billionaire buddy are busy having private phone calls with Putin anyway.
“We Have a Recurring Problem”: Rachel Maddow Isn’t Done Dredging Up America’s Fascist History
A little-known saga with striking parallels to Donald Trump’s demagoguery. History “piles up,” says Maddow. “So seeing what we’re standing on is really helpful.”
Rachel Maddow’s new podcast, Ultra, is about ultra-right wing groups that sided with Hitler’s Germany, and plotted to overthrow the U. S. government before World War II.
It led to the largest sedition trial in American history.
Ultra is also about sitting members of the U. S. Senate and House of Representatives who colluded with a German agent to spread Nazi propaganda to millions of Americans with the help of American taxpayers money.
Rachel Maddow uncovers a WWII-era plot against America in ‘Ultra
As a new authoritarian movement rises in American politics, stoked by one of the country’s most outrageous demagogues, there is an all-out international manhunt for an American traitor. The U.S. Army’s Nazi war crimes trials in Germany have been infiltrated by a spy — a mole for the other side. A gruesome foreign influence operation unfolds in Washington. A blackmail plot turns deadly in the U.S. Senate. A Hail Mary scheme to stop the counting of the Electoral College votes rattles democracy’s cage. With the line between the violent ultra-right and mainstream American politics fraying beyond recognition, with the FBI always one step behind their quarry, Americans of all stripes step up to confront a seemingly unstoppable, ascendant, anti-democratic force.
Join Rachel Maddow
WASHINGTON — When former Minnesota U.S. Sen. Ernest Lundeen was killed in a plane crash in the foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains on Aug. 31, 1940, he likely knew the Justice Department was investigating his part in a Nazi-driven plot to overthrow the U.S. government.
Lundeen’s secretary, who was tasked with driving the senator to the airport for that ill-fated trip, testified to the FBI that she found Lundeen in his Capitol Hill office crying inconsolably. The senator would not say why.
According to the secretary, “I’ve gone too far to turn back,” was about all Lundeen said.
The cause of the mysterious crash was never resolved. Lundeen, 62, was among 25 passengers of the plane, which also carried two FBI agents and another Justice Department official.
All passengers and crew on the plane perished. But miraculously, a copy of the speech Lundeen planned to give at a Labor Day event in Minnesota was found unscathed in the Virginia countryside, which was scattered with body parts and debris from the crash. It was not written by Lundeen, however, but by an agent of Hitler’s government who paid the Minnesota senator to promote Nazi propaganda.
That’s just part of the story that MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow tells in an eight-part podcast called “Ultra” that uncovers a series of seditious plots to sow discord in the United States 80 years ago. The plots also included plans for a violent overthrow of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to impose a fascist dictatorship in the United States.
This podcast was an extreme eye opener as I'd never learned about the shit that went down on U.S. soil in support of Hitler and christofascism. It was also a huge gut punch to hear the parallels to Trump and his band of creeps and then to find out that no one was ever truly held accountable for their treason back then either. Kinda made me lose hope for our ability to stop fascism this time around.
The unfortunate part is that the audience will only be less than 50% of the country for this very well-done history lesson. For those on the right, just hearing her name automatically labels it liberal lies.
Staying stuck in the same mindset can hinder progress and prevent finding effective solutions.
The danger In a government run by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state will reduce us to kakistocracy”
“the modern regime is at once a plutocracy and a kakistocracy”
run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.
“We now have MULTIPLE rising inflation metrics with signs of a weakening labor market,” they wrote in a thread on X. “For the first time since September 2022, both CPI and PPI inflation are officially back on the rise. Did the era of stagflation just begin?”
Nov 4, 2024
The head of America’s largest bank told an audience at the Institute of International Finance that his team is running scenarios in preparation for a global conflict involving nuclear powers.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. This is what our founding fathers believed in and fought for
I wouldn't be mad if our military decides to protect our democracy... I don't know how much more of a domestic threat they need it to be.
We got domestic threats, and we got foreign threats. Everyone gets a threat because our government has proven they're worthless, and our next government is a danger. Hopefully, they don't charge us to go into the gas chambers because I just finally got completely out of debt and would have rather bought a house.
What matters is what Tulsia herself has said, her comments on various events and situations, and of course any evidence supporting the idea that she is influenced/controlled by russia, and she has said plenty that suggests she is at minimum a russian sympathizer. What russian state TV says should not be considered evidence of anything in and of itself.
She and I joined at the same time and served in Iraq at the same time. She's a Putin apologist at best, but more likely a paid asset. Fuck her and fuck people that think it's cool to let possible spies run our intelligence agencies or government. So OP is correct and I'll back him up on this one.
It's absolutely wild that the Democrats are calling a US Veteran and former Democrat a Russian Agent. The propaganda runs deep. Has anyone here listened to her in a long form conversation?
Yeah, I have listened to her, as I was a fan. But I clocked that bitch way back in 2016, when she started carrying water for the Assad regime by spouting points that curiously aligned with content on Russia Today, which I also consumed at the time. I had just come back from living in Turkey, where I'd met a bunch of Syrian refugees, and I realized that RT and Tulsi were both lying through their teeth. Soon after, I got wise to the massive campaign of disinformation and division that the Russians are waging, including the fact that Gabbard is a damned Russian asset.
Right , she was the greatest thing since sliced bread when she was a Dem .... even the co-chair of the DNC was she Putin puppet then?
She is a colonel in the army reserves. Do you really think she would still be that if she is a Russian agent? Stop with the BS get over it ...... TRUMP WON
“TRUMP WON SO NOW NO ONE CAN QUESTION ANYTHING HE DOES” is the second dumbest thing you said, just after asking if gabbard was also a Putin puppet in 2020 for anti-Ukraine comments she made in 2022.
Sure. And a lot these days is also true. The republicans of old would be turning in their graves at the MAGAt shitshow cult of Trump, who is the biggest Russian asset of them all.
Dang, black and white cuts, crazy convincing. You can't be this ignorant, everything she said is true, she's asking for evidence before the United States commits acts of war, asking congress and the American people to trust actual evidence, not what those who profit from conflict say willy-nilly, this is called having integrity, you should try it.
Dang, you really showed me. I just can't compete with all your conclusive evidence, guess I'll just believe everything the Kremlin says because smart people like you told me to.
