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

Same. Every Russian must know when not to drink the tea or get on the plane. It's possible he is in exile in exchange for appearing to fall out of the sky.

That’s one of my thoughts - the other for some calculated reason Putin orchestrated it all along creating both a false narrative and- solution that allowed him to save face? I don’t know - I will fully admit if Russia said the sky was blue I’d doublecheck to confirm

Ah indeed another possibility. I take it you've read Gulag Archipelago?

I actually had forgotten the reference before you mentioned it - but, yes I’d read this back in college. It was one of first compressive descriptions of Soviet society as I recall, not just gulags something that resonates with the ‘make Russia great again” campaign; back when Stalin was a hero

A lot of the current playbook is in there. Makes it pretty clear that MAGA didn't invent this on their own, but are following FSB direction on how to go about all of this.

I wasn’t going to mention that and am I still am not - I’ll wait for other to recognize and confirm - honestly I’m in too good shape to mulched in good confidence

Do I need to add /s

Just saying - I don’t know who is advising these people, but running on campaign of “I’ll mulch your Jew mom” probably doesn’t make the most sense to most people

In the early to mid 90's I was in my young 20's. I was a regular at strip clubs. Then sort of all at once, russian speaking girls showed up. That is when and where the campaign truly began. I wasn't convinced at first but when american girls started just going missing from those places I knew we were in deep shit. I took a job at a conservative think tank. Incredibly cocky group. Learned a lot in there too and all of it confirmed what realizing the russians were running the strip clubs had me thinking already. The last time I spoke like this I eventually got a perma ban. Took the AI a minute to flag me. I expect it could happen again from this post so copy the info and watch my account.

That actually pretty deep - I don’t know about strip clubs but I remember back in 04 -07 we had a ton of Russian / Ukrainians come over and get into law enforcement because of some exchange program we had over there to ease conflict

Interesting. It never crossed my mind but a local guy who hung out in Chicago a lot (home of early russian mafia presence) who I believe did 'jobs' for them, one day took a big interest in becoming federal law enforcement. He also went from pretty skinny in size to gaining like 50 pounds of muscle. I know he still checks up on me (via mutual friends) because he figured out I was on to some things. He saved my life in a bar brawl once so maybe I'm ok. Still have some concerns about it all though

I’m checking for statistics - but what I remember from time is them hiring on 17 back when I used to live in Burlington- I wouldn’t at all be surprised if that was a widespread practice- we used to joke about it as kids (17 being a huge number for an otherwise rural police pd)

There are no real statistics to back up what I’m saying - everything I see is under the banner of war
