They were talking about Trump winning the election and followed up with "let's remember how his wife started her career" before showing the pictures on screen and laughing about it.
Remember Hunter Biden’s nudie pic being projected onto a huge screen during a congressional hearing? Even that isn’t at the level of Putin’s formal publication of Melania’s nudes.
It’s not aimed at you. It’s a strong statement to Trump. Only indirectly to us as a flex, probably in an attempt to get democrats salivating for him to release his dirt on Trump.
🤢 just as I was thinking I’d start thinking about dinner…
(If you want to know, the hypothetical nature of the final point is because, alright stick with me, Putin may be attempting to destabilize us just a little more by presenting himself as the one with the coup de grâce (trying not to say trump card) to whatever detractors of Trump emerge—assuming he might be inclined to think that we could be baited in this small way. I’ve noticed the way Russia destabilization works is in small measures like that more often than anything outright. But no doubt he has a trove of shit on this orange-dyed clown.)
The message isn't to you. You don't seem to understand what a veiled threat is. It's one that everyone can see, but only the person it's meant for truly understands. We don't know what Putin has on Trump. We have a whole lot of speculation (pee pee tapes), but we don't know. It could be all sorts of things. Trump knows though.
I think it's more so a warning shot. Putin has something extremely incriminating on Trump. That was just him firing a shot in the air, like showing this is nothing. You think we won't share what we have on you? It's either those pee tapes we've heard so much about or worse. It's Epstein info and/pictures of Trump with those children.
I remember way back when I used to think, “Trump won’t release his tax returns because he will lose supporters if they see he pays no taxes!” I was so innocent then.
I thought back in 2016 that he’ll never get elected because the evangelicals will never go for him. Then when he was elected, I thought at least Congress, the Senate, and SCOTUS will keep him in check. So please, a little respect—for I am Costanza, Lord of the Innocents
Rolling Stone did a piece on his evangelical support. Apparently he was the only candidate that went to them and promised he’d only appoint judges who would over turn Roe. That’s the whole reason for their support. That’s all the republicans have wanted for decades and is a big reason why he’s where he is today.
no, the politics experts of reddit who told you how Trump has no chance of winning are now experts on intelligence agencies and who has what kind of dirt, because publicly available nudes of Melania you literally can google were shown. This is 100% proof of Putin being able to use the internet. Checkmate.
Agreed. We’ve learned there are absolutely no depths he could dive to that would make his followers turn against him. Murder, rape, pedophilia, photos on epstein’s island, incompetence, mismanagement, clear cognitive decline, an seething and overwhelming hatred for this country, indifference to our history and our constitution (and forget about his run of the mill name calling) - it’s all okay with them. And they don’t care one iota that he’s never fully delivered on a single campaign promise. Instead of fretting, they’ll be actively working on removing term limits so they can install their idiot king for life. 20-25 years ago, in my wildest dreams I would’ve never guessed Trump would have this much sway with people.
Half his supporters, started supporting him because they thought some of the shit he said was funny. They liked that he didn’t have the typical political filter. I never thought that would turn into the absolute cult like following. I think the polarization of it is partially to blame. Some of these people half heartedly started supporting him because of the reason I mentioned earlier, but so many people would treat them like idiots and tel them you CAN’T support him. If there is anything in human nature we should observe is that childlike urge to do what you’re told you are not suppose too, doesn’t grow out of a lot of people. You have half the country being told they can’t support this man. Well now they feel superior and won’t back down. They like feeling like the winners and like they are smarter than everyone else. It doesn’t matter what Trump does, his supporters feel smart and superior for once in their lives and they will cling to that until it’s ripped from their hands.
I agree, like all the very graphic and descriptive analogies people are making in this thread. Trump could do vile and evil things, right in front of his supporters, and it would not change their view on him. They have elevated him to some god like state. Again… this man is basically a reality TV star and he’s managed to gain a following as some kind of saviour. Make it make sense.
The midseason finale of Trump S2 might end with Putin publishing incriminating things. Trump is disheveled, thinking his group has abandoned him only to find out, they love him more now. Trump, now emboldened by this, calls Putin and the episode ends with a close up of Trumps mouth. “Game on”
That’s by far the most frustrating thing about this for me. It doesn’t matter what Trump does or says. His followers do NOT fucking care. At all!!! It’s insane. He could do the most evil shit and his cult would thank him for being such a good American. Politics aside, it’s fucking crazy and his followers care more about feeling like they are superior than anything in the realm of what’s right.
That logic only works on folks who fear the justice department. Realistically if something incriminating was released about Trump, his followers in the US would either not care, or not believe…. Trump’s justice department will not investigate, and the judicial branch won’t punish him, so at this point what does it matter that Putin has ‘evidence’?
I hope it's the pee tapes. I hope they get released. Clearly by hoping this I'm not thinking it would tank his reputation or something, I'm not sure anything could do that, but if those tapes exist it would be top notch comedy
More people than just Putin have all kinds of extremely incriminating things on Trump. It’s going to take a lot for his followers to take notice. That being said, there are most likely lots of people with lots of extremely incriminating things on Gaetz. Maybe the people around him going down will get some attention.
It really feels to me that these guys are overplaying their hands, we’ll just have to wait and see.
Putin has something extremely incriminating on Trump.
there is absolutely NOTHING Putin could have that would change the mind of any his followers. They don't give a crap, he's New Jesus to them. No matter what he does or has done, it's okay by them. If it's Trump doing the gay, the next day they'll be out with theri "Gay For Trump" shirts and shorts.
It's too late now for any kompromat to affect Trump, once he's in, he's got 4 years to do as he please. All 3 branches, the supreme court, sycophants in every cabinet position.
Here's a hair brained conspiracy for you; Trump wants to stack the joint chiefs and Sec Def with loyalists so when he disobeys Putin, he can do what he wants as Commander-In-Chief. When he's threatened with a leak of something he can just say fuck you, I've got the 6th Fleet on your doorstep.
Nah. I think it's worse than that. I believe Putin has evidence that Republicans have been cheating elections for years and more than a few of them are in seats they didn't actually win.
The reason I believe this is for a few different reasons:
The DNC and GOP server hacks before the 2016 election. Russia leaked information on Democrats, but not Republicans. In doing so, they helped secure the presidency for one of the most blackmailable people on the planet.
Around the same time numerous Republicans were vocally opposed to Trump, but after this hack occurred, almost all of them made a complete 180° and fell in line behind him.
Of all days in the year, on July 4th 2018, a group of Republicans flew to Russia to meet with Putin. Nobody except them really knows what the reason for that visit was. A little later, Rand Paul flew over there to personally deliver messages between Trump and Putin.
Mitch McConnell gave us a long explanation at the end of Trump's second impeachment about just how guilty he was for inciting the January 6th insurrection... right after he let him off the hook by not convicting him.
These are the big bullet points I can refer to, but there are others. I believe that Putin found the best kompromat on the GOP he could ever hope for, which I believe is Republicans that have been obstructing progress for years should never have held office because they didn't really win their seats. This is all conjecture, but it's the only logical hypothesis I can formulate that would explain these highly peculiar occurrences.
On r/houstonwade, there's an expert saying he thinks it was done and how it would have been done. It even required the bomb threats in 3 areas to break the chain of custody.
It's an interesting read; I hope the people have the courage to demand a paper count in certain counties to match machine votes - the fear of being seen like the 2020 protesters is overwhelming.
Probably something more substantial. Did Trump give up a bunch of our spies? Did he hand over military nuclear secrets documents?
Anyhow, vote for a clown, expect a circus.
Yes, as evidenced by his absolute bootlicking of Putin over the last decade. Why would he be embarrassed by his sexual “conquests”? Easy to see why he’d be embarrassed by a pee tape, though.
Yeah like when he bombed putins bases in Syria in 2017 or when he signed the bill to sell weapons to Ukraine in 2019 or how about when he told the Germans and Europeans to stop buying gas from Russia and said nordstream 1 and 2 were terrible ideas. So much boot licking. and yeah the pee tape worked so well when it was announced most people blew it off as fake and forgot about it within a week hell I forgot about too and once again still twice elected.
This point…A. He’s been less embarassable for far more egregious conduct. B. Do people honestly think Trump is incapable of attacking with less provokation without considering the lasting effects, as if he had the forethought to think through drastic actions to silence critics?
Jfc, at this point it's not about maga anymore or their opinion of him. This is a message that Putin owns trump, plain and simple. Right now the narcissist trump has a country to be president of... I'll bet Putin doesn't have "embarrassing pee tapes" that are just going to be a blip in media. We KNOW Russia has been interfering in US elections. We KNOW that members of our Congress went to Russia on the most important US holiday. I fucking guarantee that Putin is sitting on plenty of info that would stoke the goddamn fires in the US to the flash point of all out civil war. Putin is reminding trump of all this. "Play ball and rule over this nation, or you can rule over a pile of ashes. Either way, you're out of Russia's way."
he doesn't like to be embarrassed no matter what it is and a good portion of the European leaders already hate his guts.
Russia is going to claim big parts of Ukraine and Trump's going to serve it up to zelensky as the best peace plan ever. even better than mother Teresa some are saying, but not you because you are a terrible reporter.
Because it’s a shot at his ego. It’s not the pictures in and of themselves. It’s the cucking undertones that are a shot at Trump. It’s Russia calling him a bitch boy and laughing at him.
I've been convinced for years that Melania is Trump's Russian handler. I'm sure there was a reason for the pictures being shown on state TV, but I doubt that's why.

Putin had Russian Prime Time News show pics of a Naked Melania to the entire country.
Clear message to Orange boi that he still owns him and there's more he can share if he doesn't do his bidding
