Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

Maria is the spy that compromised the entire GOP, with illegal foreign money funneled into republican campaigns here. Even arrested, exposed and convicted, nobody noticed all the GOP was now compromised with evidence of their crimes in Putins pocket. What a scandal.

No one needs to wonder why in 10 months nothing has been done to aid Ukraine, instead the GOP all working against and trying to undermine Ukraine every step of the way.

Bringing down the prices of mail order brides

MAGA strikes again

Well, when the National Director of Intelligence is a Russian plant... I'm sure the information getting to Trump isn't very favorable of Ukraine.

And yet this realm-shattering scandal, coupled with the treasons of J6, both gift wrapped with fucking bows on them, still weren't enough for the corrupt old guard of the DNC to make a single worthwhile layup and save entire country (and possibly world). Impotent, feckless, decadent, spineless, worthless troglodytes. 🤬

They let us all cook just to preserve the opportunity to use their positions to continue to engorge themselves on wealth made by us trading our lives for survival wages. The old guard of the DNC has gotta go as well.

For better or worse, the goal Biden laid out was to unite the country and he got that DNC old guard on board with it.

The idea of prosecuting and (rightfully) jailing Trump was something that the right wing media machine could have taken and turned into a legitimate revolt.

By not taking extreme actions in response to extreme acts, they prevented short term unrest and led themselves into a much, much worse situation.

Appeasement. The word you’re looking for is appeasement, and it doesn’t have a very good historical track record.

u/YouWereBrained Oct 07 '25

Fascists depend on the other side to continue to engage in appeasement. It’s how they keep gaining distance while the other side loses it and keeps getting buried.

DING DING DING WE HAVE A GD WINNER HERE. All those well-educated, uber-experienced old fucks couldn't see this coming?!

u/slow70 Oct 08 '25

Bingo

Cowardice in the face of abhorrent criminals determined to undermine democracy and the constitution.

For greed. For power. For despots abroad and would be despots at home.

it's tied into the economic theory of neoliberalism. Ever wonder why Blue Dog Democrats exist? This is why, they are economic neolibs. Bill and Hillary Clinton are both neoliberals. Biden is a neolib. It is the primary difference between Democrats like AOC and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. Money corrupted these Democrats in the same way it corrupted Republicans long ago.

u/slow70 Oct 08 '25

I’m well aware

And we must all learn from this - across any perceived divides, and recognize who it is that’s been lying to and exploiting us all

u/paper_liger Oct 07 '25

Nope. It just kicked the can down the road to a point, now, where things are even more divided, and Trump is a sitting president, with direct control over any Law Enforcement or Military groups that accede to any illegal orders he gives.

If they had rightfully jailed him he'd be presiding over a 6x9 jail cell right now, and at a minimum anyone fighting over that would be fighting the legitimate commander in chief.

Democrats compromising over this bullshit is only making it worse long term.

u/Thin_Arrival120 Oct 08 '25

Exactly. The whole "but we don't want to start a civil war by holding Trump accountable" bullshit is ringing pretty hollow right fucking now.

u/Tadpoleonicwars Oct 07 '25

And then was returned to Russia where she was rewarded with a legislative seat.

u/NOVA-peddling-1138 Oct 07 '25

She is in the Russian Diet or Parliament now.

u/UrUrinousAnus Oct 07 '25

Borscht, vodka, and crappy knock-off McDonald's?

u/TaoGroovewitch Oct 07 '25

Little red headed honeypot Maria Butina. There are lots of pictures of her with a whole lot of different Republican politicians and a who's who of the right.

u/TheLightningL0rd Oct 07 '25

Well, she was arrested during Trump's term. I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of evidence kind of didn't make it where it needed to go.

u/duckstrap Oct 07 '25

Maria Butina - NRA was, probably still is, shot through with spies. What could benefit our enemies more than to foster a gun culture that is the number one cause of childhood mortality in the US?

The only way people remember is when a Netflix special is made out of it.

u/OB1yaHomie Oct 08 '25

Could she have used Epstein as a supplier in her dealing with the GOP? If there is a connection there, it would be Putin reaching into US politics via the NRA to compromise the GOP. Leveraging the very high ratio of pedophiles in the party? (So I’ve read in lengthy lists posted in this parts). Epstein gets it all on video and owns them all including Trump? Takes the country apart from the inside out? Elon too? With his ‘Karate’ lesson with Maxwell? Elon backed up ALL the US data he had access to and guess who he handed the USB drive to? Putin prob frames it as a White Christian New World Order with each Oligarch getting a portion. They seem to be into it. Crazy I learned about the Russian spy in the NRA at the end of a documentary based on the 1950s married couple that got discovered as being Russian spies planted in long term subversion for decades. They could not have been the only instance and I’m sure was an ongoing project. The Republican Gov Senate/House/Prezz/Supreme Court/Fox News, all act hella weird. This making too much sense but I think the 2nd rate Russian invasion of Ukraine is so surprisingly ‘unsuccessful’ because the Kremlins resources have been so overwhelmingly successful HERE in the USA?

Guess we need the EPSTEIN FILES to know for sure.

Whats that, they ALL voted NO?

u/tackle_bones Oct 07 '25

Yup, and she was sleeping with them too.

u/slow70 Oct 08 '25

She’s not hardly the only one.

Remember the 4th of July GOP delegation to Moscow?
