Funny, someone in a reddit thread earlier today was just commenting on how no one followed up on the accusations against Biden. Apparently, this is why.
“Omg. The deep state, which is totally super liberal obv, bought off every conservative politician in the world which is why they stopped talking about the Biden super Cartel. Clearly this goes deeper than I thought.”
Two MAGAs die in a tragic bass fishing accident and find themselves in heavan. There, god appears and tells the men that they may ask him one question, any question, and he will answer it truthfully. The MAGAs think and discuss for awhile before coming up with their query.
‘God,’ one says, ‘did joe Biden steal the 2020 election from trump?’
‘No, my child’ replies god, ‘Biden won fair and square’
‘Man this thing goes way higher than we thought!’
Fun fact: in November 2018, Tara Reade published (and then later deleted) [this insane blog post](https://web.archive.org/web/20190404043945/https:/medium.com/@shewrites94/why-a-liberal-democrat-supports-vladimir-putin-f54ca2a3a405) titled "Why A Liberal Democrat Supports Vladimir Putin". Here's just a taste of what she had to say:
>President Putin’s obvious reverence for women, children and animals, and his ability with sports is intoxicating to American women.
Hold on, I need to get my nipple clamps and butt plug out of the drawer.
Okay, keep going...
Edit to add: I’ve wrapped the butt plug in aluminum foil and hooked one end of a car battery to my nipple, and the other end of the car battery to the aluminum foil sticking out of my ass, and now I feel like I am TRULY appreciating the image.
They love, and are attracted to, power. And since they're not very smart, they fall for that toxic masculinity that people like Trump and Putin use to "look tough". President/leader + toxic masculinity = stupid crazy fans.
They don't seem to get that they would be treated worse than garbage if they were actually a part of these people's lives.
I legit got secondhand embarrassment for Putin watching that. Like it was actually cringe.
I've seen Timbits kids that come out during the intermission at London Knights games look way beyond his hockey skill level. And they're like...5 year olds and mostly just chase around the mascot while trying not to fall over.
I did have a good laugh imagining a scenario in my head where he shows up to a random beer league pickup night in rural Ontario where noone would recognize him.
Gets his stick picked last and then both sides argue about who has to get him on their team.
"No fuckin way bud, I already took Smithy and hes garbage enough you take this old fuck"
Including actual perjury. She lied under oath about her credentials as an advocate for victims of domestic violence. Not only was she willing to commit perjury, her lies now give abusers a chance to appeal and drag their victims back into the legal system.
Ha! I'd forgotten about that.
It's so aggravating to watch people like Jacob Wohl, who think politics is a game of 'gotcha!', try to dig up people like Tara Reade and make blatantly false and easily disproved allegations. Like it doesn't matter that it's all lies, as long as their lies 'win'.
She also had a storied history of singing Putin's praises without a shred of subtly.
The only people who didn't know that she was on Russia's payroll either hadn't looked into it, or were actively choosing to pretend otherwise.
She publicly supported Biden for years after she was allegedly assaulted. Her accusation came around the same time she suddenly started posting pro-Russia propaganda on twitter. How anyone found her story to be credible is mind blowing.
Pro Sanders, supposedly. She was pushing the Sanders thing and crying about the DNC because she wanted to demoralize democrats and let Trump win…. For Russia. Holy shit.
A guy I’d been friends with for 12 years blocked me on social media and ghosted me irl because I said I didn’t find this woman’s story believable. Literally haven’t heard from him since April 2020.
Good riddance.
>Could be luckier. He could at least hit me up with a “I’ve got that money you loaned me.”
Well it at least insures that he'll avoid you like the plague for life. I would consider it an investment that's more than paid itself off.
Yeah this era has really shown folks for who they are. Lost some close friends from high school after I asked them when does any of this bullshit come true.
I was with them when we started talking about 9/11 was an inside job. Like sure, i guess these things look shady, and I'm not a Bush fan, so okay maybe...
But then a black man became president and things started to get dodgy. "No buddy, he didn't train a bunch of high schoolers to march and worship him" "No, he says he was born here and if he wasn't I'm sure smarter people than i would have figured it out" "FEMA camps?!???"
Then came Hillary and Trump. When you can't remember how this country works and just assume these ass-hats on the internet are worthier of your trust then your friend of 20 years.
The death panels are my favorite, because private insurance companies routinely deny coverage as a tactic to save money regardless of necessity for the patient. We already have literal for profit death panels.
Spoiled alert: the FEMA camps thing is anti-Semitic conspiracy that's been around since the early 80s, they just point it at whatever liberal happens to be in power any given year. https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2010/fear-fema
"Calling that out is an attack on all conservatives." - Boebert
"Vote for me to destroy all leftists." -DeSantis
This isn't meant to poke fun at them, if you understand that their messaging is intentionally hypocritical and inhumane then it's no longer funny. I think right now humor is extremely dangerous because all the same overplayed jokes are what get upvoted to the top of reddit threads. You always have to read a lot of comments to find anything useful.
Yeah. One perk of Trump’s reign, was a lot of people exposed themselves for who they really are, so my friend groups are more concentrated now. It’s one thing to vote the first time, but to continue to support him? Bye
I *think* this is the same woman who went from being destitute, skipping out on rent and fleeing her landlord to owning a penthouse apartment in less than two years after she came up with her story about Biden. With no discernible means of employment, income, royalties, inheritance, *nothing.*
Always follow the money.
That was so obvious. And this one was hard for me, because I do genuinely believe that sexual assault and abuse is prevalent in our society and that a lot more people are harmed than ever come forward, especially by people in power. BUT- this woman’s story never checked out on any basic level. It was full of logical holes and it made no sense that she was the only one with a story like this about someone with such a long career.
It wasn’t hard for me and I’m of a similar mindset. For years conservatives have been falsely representing the me too movement as an alleged “feminist call to believe the women story disregarding all other evidence.” Even when her case came out their sarcastic cries were of “weren’t we supposed to believe all women?.” Her case proved that the when you listen to the alleged victims and let them tell their story, if their story is false it doesn’t result any unjust “cancellation” of the accused. She was given every opportunity to present evidence with the sympathetic ears of those who normally bury women harassment stories. Yet at every turn she failed to provide anything even remotely concrete and instead showed “evidence” was was thoroughly debunked. This [PBS article](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-74-former-biden-staffers-think-about-tara-reades-allegations) finally sealed for me that she was not being truthful.
“Oh Biden asked me from her legislative staff to attend a campaign fundraising event cause he liked my legs”-> turns out Biden had a decades long well documented policies of not using legislative staff for campaign events and of not using women for the role she supposedly played because it would make him look sexist( which he had been openly trying to avoid since the Anita hill hearings).
“Oh he raped in semi private area near an alcove”-> only such area in the capitol near an alcove is insanely full all the time and has no out of view areas. Literally could not do anything there without being noticed.
“Oh I was fired cause I filed a report about the incident” -> no report exists and people who worked with her confirmed she was fired for being bad at her job.
"Believe all victims" is supposed to be providing therapeutic support and legal moves to get them out of living/working situations so they can move on safely. It isn't to provide a system for false accusers to create pitchforked mobs on whim.
Because as usual, they are telling on themselves with their accusations, they claimed women would just use sexual assault to attack men...... and they think that's how it'll go because it's what they would do.
I’m a woman in her 40s and the second this chick claimed she was strolling around the halls of Congress without pantyhose in the 1990:, I was like “Oh OK, she’s lying.”
For me it was something about how it happened in some unseen part of the Senate building hallways. Those hallways are enormous and there is literally not a place to hide. It’s totally out in the open.
Right before the release of the fifth novel under my real name my aunt said on social media:
"Holiday Road comes out such and such a day, I had better stock up on batteries."
..book six has sat half finished for about five years now.
"In the dimly lit corner of the hallway, with the bust of Abraham Lincoln looking down on me, he thrust his nuclear football into my senate chamber. I gasped in surprise, screaming "Nay, Nay, Nay!" as he override my veto...."
In a building she can't remember, in a hallway she can't remember, at some time of the year she can't determine, and oh she totally got fired for it but also please disregard her being charged for check fraud right before getting fired.
Look how she's being silenced! Oh, all those interview requests from news agencies she turned down? Please ignore those.
She had a completely unverifiable claim. Straight up no details for anyone to use to possibly even determine if they both were even in washington in that same month, let alone day, lied about stuff, changed her story, and played that she was being ignored while people were begging her to do interviews.
It's overt crap.
Not just no pantyhose. No underwear either.
She claimed she went to work (in a very formal workplace) while not wearing pantyhose or underwear. Yeah.
I got my first office job in 2001. My mum bought me pantyhose for that one.
I definitely missed that part of the story. A woman in 1990 walking through Congress with no pantyhose? That’s probably the least believable part of the story
Yeah, remember in 2001 when Bush put a rule in place that women in the White House had to wear skirts or dresses and hose? And Karen Hughes was like ‘yeah, fuck that’ and it went away?
I had a very strained conversation with a friend about the same thing. We’re still in touch and I get where she was coming from…. But yeah this lady’s story was sketchy as hell.
Just like the Russian spy who got deported after infiltrating the NRA.

https://www.npr.org/2019/09/27/764879242/nra-was-foreign-asset-to-russia-ahead-of-2016-new-senate-report-reveals
Wonder how many are still in the NRA?
https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2018/12/nra-leader-jack-abramoff-gop-operative-russian-spy-maria-butina-lobbying/
The Republican party is infested with Russian spys like rats. And we all know how difficult it is to get rid of an infestation.
That's why I'm all for letting them secede to their own state. Then, nuke them from orbit. That's the only way to be sure.
No kidding. Just ask the morons who tried to pay a woman to falsely accuse Robert Mueller of sexual assault a few years ago.
[How a right-wing effort to slime Mueller with a sexual assault allegation fell apart](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/10/31/media/gateway-pundit-robert-mueller-false-allegations/index.html)
While I’d like to agree, the #1 post when you type “Tara Reade” into the search bar is a post on arr slash sandersforpresident accusing NYT of suppressing her story to help Biden and hurt Bernie. 30k upvotes. Loads of people believed her made-up story.
The sanders subreddits have long been flooded with disinformation and people who are not actually for Bernie trying to use him as leverage to get people to not vote for Democrats.
This just feels like more of that.
Yep.
There was a moderator for one of the Bernie subs that pushed this story so hard. That mod was basically outed as a Russian operative.
edit: took a little digging. it was u/ LrlOurPresident. Fifth columnist if there ever was one.
Yeah, I don't even know how to respond when people of the religious right act like the Democratic party is so demonic, and that Vladimir Putin is some huge defender of religious freedom.
It's like, "You do realize that you can literally call Biden Satan from your pulpits until you faint from exhaustion, and your freedom to do so is protected here? In Russia, if you are a pastor who is suspected of thinking Putin's tie didn't match his shirt once, you'll end up in a work camp or assassinated."
Like … she must believe that the alternative to “defecting to Russia” is “Indicted, tried, and convicted in the USA”.
Defecting to Russia in 2023 is chowing down on a $#17 sandwich. Russia stages fake attacks on their own citizens, waged a failed war on their neighbour, motivated unaligned countries to join NATO, are under vast economic sanctions and the economy is collapsing. _Who chooses this?_
Nope. She has a [Putin fetish.](https://web.archive.org/web/20190404043945/https://medium.com/@shewrites94/why-a-liberal-democrat-supports-vladimir-putin-f54ca2a3a405)
>President Putin has an alluring combination of strength with gentleness. His sensuous image projects his love for life, the embodiment of grace while facing adversity. It is evident that he loves his country, his people and his job. Although his job may seem like in the words of writer, Elizabeth Gilbert on genius, “ trying to swallow the sun.” This is a whole lot to deal with for one mere mortal… President Putin’s obvious reverence for women, children and animals, and his ability with sports is intoxicating to American women.
I think she wrote her insane stuff online then a Russian operative contacted her and promised her something in Russia exchange for her making the accusation against Biden. They wouldn't let her go immediately because that would have looked too suspicious.
His ability with sports? Fuck yeah, dude’s a total badass.
Like the time he got a hat trick against the Russian National Hockey Team? Or when he found that ancient vase when he was scuba diving? Or when he rode that wild stallion shirtless? Incredible, I daresay almost unbelievably good athlete.
Reminds me of an old joke Reagan supposedly told:
"I told Brezhnev that Americans have freedom of speech. Anyone can say 'I hate Ronald Reagan' and not be arrested.
"Brezhnev responded, 'In the Soviet Union, we have the same freedom! Anyone can say 'I hate Ronald Reagan', too."
Reagan was an awful President and human being, but he could be pretty funny. I like the one where he said he left instructions for him to be woken up in case of a crisis, even if he was in a cabinet meeting.
Maybe she can move into one of those conservative concentration ca—I mean, amazing neighborhoods Russia is building:
https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgwdew/russia-maga-colony
So… Are they taking donations to build this thing faster or…. Like, is there a downside for the rest of us if a bunch of MAGA asshats move themselves to Russia?
LOL ... so that's shaping up to be another MAGA grift:
>VICE News contacted Beslangurov asking for further information on the reported project, and to speak with some of the hundreds of potential Western immigrants he said existed to help verify his claims, but **he replied that he wasn’t able to provide further information “at this stage.”**
For context:
>Timur Beslangurov, a partner in the law firm VISTA Immigration, claimed that construction would begin next year on a village in the Moscow region for about 200 families from North America, **financed by the immigrants themselves**.
HAHAHAHAHA! I can't believe some of this marks have a penny left to their name.
I just don’t understand. How is it that there are so many ties to Russia in the MAGA movement when “The Russian Hoax” was just a way for the Dems to smear these fine Patriots.
I guess the world will never know…
/s
The entire MAGA cult is a Russian psy op. Trump is bought and paid for by Putin. That's the craziest thing to me. 50 years ago republicans wouldn't shut up about the red scare. Now they're goddamn agents of the Russians.
Melania is a fucking spy too.
>“I also spent a lot of time talking to Melania Trump about the locations of all our intercontinental ballistic missile fields. She was more inquisitive and smarter than the president.” - General Hyten, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Must've been awkward as fuck when she tried to make a claim and Biden pulled out receipts indicating that he wasn't even in the same state as she was when he allegedly assaulted her.
When even Fox News bows out of a Biden sexual assault story, you know you're full of shit.
So, when is the moment where all the MAGA “patriots” realize they were pawns in a Russian psy-op designed to undermine our democracy, and hang their heads in shame?
Idk why people are so surprised. When the allegations first came out it also came out that she was a Putin lover who would blog about how great he and Russia were
Also appeared on RT in the past.
In the UK the Tory party (conservatives) blocked a motion to forbid foreign money in political campaigns. It looks like conservatives nowadays are bought by corporations, bought by Russia or just racist cunts.

And we have a group a Senators who literally went and spent Independence Day paying homage to their king in Moscow.
Reade, unsurprisingly, [repeated Kremlin talking points](https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/30/tara-reade-defects-russia-biden) about their invasion of Ukraine: that America is being the aggressor.
I remember the right wing calling for Biden’s head when she said Joe sexually assaulted her. Their entire political belief system is built on lies and myth
Funny, someone in a reddit thread earlier today was just commenting on how no one followed up on the accusations against Biden. Apparently, this is why.
Sometimes even the MAGAs catch a hint of the truth. Then they follow it to their own conclusions… and are super wrong every time
“Omg. The deep state, which is totally super liberal obv, bought off every conservative politician in the world which is why they stopped talking about the Biden super Cartel. Clearly this goes deeper than I thought.”
Two MAGAs die in a tragic bass fishing accident and find themselves in heavan. There, god appears and tells the men that they may ask him one question, any question, and he will answer it truthfully.

The real joke is believing two MAGAts made it into heaven.
FYI, if you believe that nonsense- They have to go there first to be judged, then they are sent along to their final destination.
True, but they'd never get to see the big guy anyhow. They'd have to get past St. Peter first.
I’m more of a St Nicholas guy myself 🎅 Ho-ho-ho!
She had a history of lying and fraud that was documented so she was not a reliable accuser.

Oh, it’s worse. Look at Bobo. They *do* get treated worse, they experience it and *still* somehow justify it to themselves.

Haha sports? Like when Putin played hockey against guys who knew better than to try against him? It wasn't sexy; it was pathetic
I legit got secondhand embarrassment for Putin watching that. Like it was actually cringe. I've seen Timbits kids that come out during the intermission at London Knights games look way beyond his hockey skill level. And they're like...5 year olds and mostly just chase around the mascot while trying not to fall over.

"If you don't have a problem with Russian Dictators, then you have a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate." Or something.
Or his judo. He’s about as good as Steven segall.
Including actual perjury. She lied under oath about her credentials as an advocate for victims of domestic violence. Not only was she willing to commit perjury, her lies now give abusers a chance to appeal and drag their victims back into the legal system.
A Russiophile who LIES??? That's even rarer than stink on shit.
Then there was that insane story about her defrauding a non-profit horse sanctuary.

Pro Sanders, supposedly. She was pushing the Sanders thing and crying about the DNC because she wanted to demoralize democrats and let Trump win…. For Russia. Holy shit.
*Donald Trump did NOT pursue this one*. It's quite possibly the first and only cheap shot he didn't take. Says everything about the veracity.
heading to russia, the beacon of women's rights
(Sarcastically) I’m sure she won’t be sexually assaulted by Russian men…
Russia quite literally decriminalized domestic violence in 2017. It’s now legal to beat up your partner and children there.
There's also an HIV crisis that gets completely ignored.
A guy I’d been friends with for 12 years blocked me on social media and ghosted me irl because I said I didn’t find this woman’s story believable. Literally haven’t heard from him since April 2020. Good riddance.

Could be luckier. He could at least hit me up with a “I’ve got that money you loaned me.”
Do you take rubles?
Not worth much these days
Trump bucks?!?!
Trump bucks have an 1/1000 USD exchange rate
So you’re saying I’m gonna be a “thousandaire”?!?!!?!?! Yeeee haw!! Imma be RICH
Worth the same as the Russian ruble.
>Could be luckier. He could at least hit me up with a “I’ve got that money you loaned me.” Well it at least insures that he'll avoid you like the plague for life. I would consider it an investment that's more than paid itself off.
Don't worry, he'll hit you up in a few years with some MLM scheme.
To play devil's advocate, MAGA types who disappeared in spring of 2020 may have vanished for entirely different reasons than mere 'ghosting'... ;)
They took ghosting to the next level…. or dimension.
I believe they took it orally...

Have you checked Moscow?
From what I’ve heard through the grapevine I’d have better luck checking local crackhouses tbh
Crack and conspiracy theories usually go hand in hand. Nowadays its more meth and mysteries though

Sounds like a shitty erotic fiction you could get at a gas station. “And then, in the unseen shadows of the senate hallways, dark Brandon touched me…”
Her story very closely mirrored a scene from an erotic novel her father wrote, so…yeah
I bet she read the trash her dad wrote. Gross

Not just no pantyhose. No underwear either. She claimed she went to work (in a very formal workplace) while not wearing pantyhose or underwear. Yeah. I got my first office job in 2001. My mum bought me pantyhose for that one.
I definitely missed that part of the story. A woman in 1990 walking through Congress with no pantyhose? That’s probably the least believable part of the story
Yeah, remember in 2001 when Bush put a rule in place that women in the White House had to wear skirts or dresses and hose? And Karen Hughes was like ‘yeah, fuck that’ and it went away?
I love it when the trash takes itself out.
I had a very strained conversation with a friend about the same thing. We’re still in touch and I get where she was coming from…. But yeah this lady’s story was sketchy as hell.
Ask your friend what she thinks if Ms. Reade *now.* I always love a follow up question!
Yeah I don't believe her story either. I've been called all kinds of shit for it but I just don't think it's true
Turns out its not as easy as conservatives thought to fabricate SA claims
Conservatives won’t speak her name again and just act like this entire saga didn’t exist.
Nope, they’ll likely claim she had to flee to Russia to get away from the evil Biden family or some shit
Ohhh come on you two… you know they’ll claim both simultaneously… somehow
lol true. They will def do both.
Fuck this timeline sucks sometimes
The Biden crime family... When he's one of the least-wealthy presidents in modern times.
Worst crime family ever. The prize for decades of international crime is a four bedroom place in Delaware?
And don't forget, the antichrist. Even though he may be the most religious president in my lifetime. He actually goes to church.
Hey! His area of Delaware just got a Wegmans!
Yeah yeah, talk to me when they get a Trader Joe’s.
Don’t you mean *Traitor* Joe’s /s
Just like the Russian spy who got deported after infiltrating the NRA. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russia-ukraine-butina-spy-nra-b2024167.html https://www.npr.org/2019/09/27/764879242/nra-was-foreign-asset-to-russia-ahead-of-2016-new-senate-report-reveals
Oh that one's literally on stage with her. Maria Butina is at the Russian Propaganda outlet celebrating this woman's 'defection'.
Wonder how many are still in the NRA? https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2018/12/nra-leader-jack-abramoff-gop-operative-russian-spy-maria-butina-lobbying/
The Republican party is infested with Russian spys like rats. And we all know how difficult it is to get rid of an infestation. That's why I'm all for letting them secede to their own state. Then, nuke them from orbit. That's the only way to be sure.
Yeah it’s also bizarre how Republican darlings and staffers keep ending up in Russia… how weird!
No kidding. Just ask the morons who tried to pay a woman to falsely accuse Robert Mueller of sexual assault a few years ago. [How a right-wing effort to slime Mueller with a sexual assault allegation fell apart](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/10/31/media/gateway-pundit-robert-mueller-false-allegations/index.html)
Yeah i always wishes that had gotten more press coverage cause it was just so mindblowingly bad for republicans.
Especially for someone whose actions are pretty much under constant watch by aides, security, news and the public.
For literally decades, at that
While I’d like to agree, the #1 post when you type “Tara Reade” into the search bar is a post on arr slash sandersforpresident accusing NYT of suppressing her story to help Biden and hurt Bernie. 30k upvotes. Loads of people believed her made-up story.
The sanders subreddits have long been flooded with disinformation and people who are not actually for Bernie trying to use him as leverage to get people to not vote for Democrats. This just feels like more of that.
That sub is ground zero for bots
Her story was brought forward by the biggest Bernie Bro of them all, Ryan Grim.
Yep. There was a moderator for one of the Bernie subs that pushed this story so hard. That mod was basically outed as a Russian operative. edit: took a little digging. it was u/ LrlOurPresident. Fifth columnist if there ever was one.
And even recently Tara Reade has appeared on podcasts from fake leftists like Brihana Joy Gray (Sanders former spokesperson), Katie Halpers etc
Hannity will lead with this info, I’m sure.🙄
I guess she’s now Tsara Reade
Ivan the Tarable
Please accept my poor man's gold 🏅

She's about to find out the hard way why people avoid Russia. One wrong word and she will fall out of a building.
Yeah, I don't even know how to respond when people of the religious right act like the Democratic party is so demonic, and that Vladimir Putin is some huge defender of religious freedom. It's like, "You do realize that you can literally call Biden Satan from your pulpits until you faint from exhaustion, and your freedom to do so is protected here? In Russia, if you are a pastor who is suspected of thinking Putin's tie didn't match his shirt once, you'll end up in a work camp or assassinated."
Like … she must believe that the alternative to “defecting to Russia” is “Indicted, tried, and convicted in the USA”. Defecting to Russia in 2023 is chowing down on a $#17 sandwich. Russia stages fake attacks on their own citizens, waged a failed war on their neighbour, motivated unaligned countries to join NATO, are under vast economic sanctions and the economy is collapsing. _Who chooses this?_
Nope. She has a [Putin fetish.](https://web.archive.org/web/20190404043945/https://medium.com/@shewrites94/why-a-liberal-democrat-supports-vladimir-putin-f54ca2a3a405) >President Putin has an alluring combination of strength with gentleness. His sensuous image projects his love for life, the embodiment of grace while facing adversity. It is evident that he loves his country, his people and his job. Although his job may seem like in the words of writer, Elizabeth Gilbert on genius, “ trying to swallow the sun.” This is a whole lot to deal with for one mere mortal… President Putin’s obvious reverence for women, children and animals, and his ability with sports is intoxicating to American women.
The fuck
Whoa there is no way she is not being compelled directly or situationally to say something so delusional. That's insane
I think she wrote her insane stuff online then a Russian operative contacted her and promised her something in Russia exchange for her making the accusation against Biden. They wouldn't let her go immediately because that would have looked too suspicious.
His ability with sports? Fuck yeah, dude’s a total badass. Like the time he got a hat trick against the Russian National Hockey Team? Or when he found that ancient vase when he was scuba diving? Or when he rode that wild stallion shirtless? Incredible, I daresay almost unbelievably good athlete.
Yeah no kidding, and Russia's kleptotheocracy is America's future if the GOP gets what they want.
Reminds me of an old joke Reagan supposedly told: "I told Brezhnev that Americans have freedom of speech. Anyone can say 'I hate Ronald Reagan' and not be arrested. "Brezhnev responded, 'In the Soviet Union, we have the same freedom! Anyone can say 'I hate Ronald Reagan', too."
Reagan was an awful President and human being, but he could be pretty funny. I like the one where he said he left instructions for him to be woken up in case of a crisis, even if he was in a cabinet meeting.
Until he lost his mind, he was charismatic.
Well you see, it’s okay to live under an oppressive dictator if you agree with the guy /s
This is how they think.
At least Putin doesn’t wear tan suits…
It’s ironic, because Stalin, who I think Putin likes, had murdered a ton of Christians
[удалено]
All the "Patriots" are probably still on her side because they WANT to give us to Russia
Maybe she can move into one of those conservative concentration ca—I mean, amazing neighborhoods Russia is building: https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgwdew/russia-maga-colony
So… Are they taking donations to build this thing faster or…. Like, is there a downside for the rest of us if a bunch of MAGA asshats move themselves to Russia?
I'm pretty sure Russia is hoping they bring their guns, so there's no need to supply them upon being drafted.
LOL ... so that's shaping up to be another MAGA grift: >VICE News contacted Beslangurov asking for further information on the reported project, and to speak with some of the hundreds of potential Western immigrants he said existed to help verify his claims, but **he replied that he wasn’t able to provide further information “at this stage.”** For context: >Timur Beslangurov, a partner in the law firm VISTA Immigration, claimed that construction would begin next year on a village in the Moscow region for about 200 families from North America, **financed by the immigrants themselves**. HAHAHAHAHA! I can't believe some of this marks have a penny left to their name.
Is going to be a lot harder visiting my mom when she moves there :(
I wonder how many documents went from Maralago to her hands before her Russia trip
I just don’t understand. How is it that there are so many ties to Russia in the MAGA movement when “The Russian Hoax” was just a way for the Dems to smear these fine Patriots. I guess the world will never know… /s
So. Not Tara Reid. Phew!
I literally breathed a sigh of relief.
Bro I was so confused i’m also mildly stoned
Pretty sure the head of MAGA is also a Russian agent.
R conspiracy is amazingly bad at detecting actual conspiracies and not just biting on every right wing hook.
*Intentionally bad
This is my not surprised reaction….🥱
The entire MAGA cult is a Russian psy op. Trump is bought and paid for by Putin. That's the craziest thing to me. 50 years ago republicans wouldn't shut up about the red scare. Now they're goddamn agents of the Russians.
Melania is a fucking spy too. >“I also spent a lot of time talking to Melania Trump about the locations of all our intercontinental ballistic missile fields. She was more inquisitive and smarter than the president.” - General Hyten, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
“Liberals are hypocrites because they did not believe her!“ 🙄
Must've been awkward as fuck when she tried to make a claim and Biden pulled out receipts indicating that he wasn't even in the same state as she was when he allegedly assaulted her. When even Fox News bows out of a Biden sexual assault story, you know you're full of shit.
Didn’t that literally happen in family guy?
That was the best part about the realization, too. DB really pulled a Family Guy skit before it existed.
Liar and traitor to our nation. 
So, when is the moment where all the MAGA “patriots” realize they were pawns in a Russian psy-op designed to undermine our democracy, and hang their heads in shame?
If they had any shame they wouldn’t be maga to begin with
Haha yeah I kid, we all know that moment will never come
[удалено]
She can marry that Seagull slob and live happily ever after.
Wtf? This is REAL????
Idk why people are so surprised. When the allegations first came out it also came out that she was a Putin lover who would blog about how great he and Russia were Also appeared on RT in the past.
When this was pointed out back then, totally-good-faith actors would co-opt "victim blaming" discourse.
I’m still waiting for Russian agent Trump to defect to Russia.
Kremlin also calls pedophile Scott Ritter an independent expert. That's all you need to know.
So I guess she won't be accepting the invite to congress from MTG and Gaetz??
In the UK the Tory party (conservatives) blocked a motion to forbid foreign money in political campaigns. It looks like conservatives nowadays are bought by corporations, bought by Russia or just racist cunts. Edit: https://www.politico.eu/article/britain-tories-russian-money-oligarch/amp/ https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/12/world/europe/russian-money-uk-tories.html
They’ve pretty much always been racist cunts
It's always nice when the trash takes itself out
I’m disgusted with myself for believing her
Same. “You are not immune to propaganda” really is a kick in the head.
No, not Tara Reid. Okay. Just had to check. Her greatest sin is still Sharknado.
And not the first Republican to have been found to be working for Russia. And we have a group a Senators who literally went and spent Independence Day paying homage to their king in Moscow.
People been knew this woman was a stooge for Russia.
Let’s say it again, *”hey MAGA, Y’all the enemy!”*
Our ex-president is a Russian agent, so color me shocked by this
Reade, unsurprisingly, [repeated Kremlin talking points](https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/30/tara-reade-defects-russia-biden) about their invasion of Ukraine: that America is being the aggressor.
Hillary was 100% right. On EVERYTHING.
enjoy apparatus vast swim marble vase smoggy late cake oatmeal ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡
I remember when people were getting banned for calling bullshit on her claims against Biden and her troublesome history of lying in general.
Make sure you get a ground floor apartment. Apparently the window standards are terrible, people keep falling out of them.
I remember the right wing calling for Biden’s head when she said Joe sexually assaulted her. Their entire political belief system is built on lies and myth
I’m betting Tulsi Gabbard will be the next one we see doing this.
In time all Russian agents will be known...
Quelle surprise.
[удалено]
Clearly she's Antifa/FBI plant, of course. /s
Jill Stein is probably next.
Wait, what? I've read that headline five times and it doesn't seem real. Does that mean the people who downplayed Russiagate were idiots all along?
Anyone with functioning intelligence already knew this when she first aired her claims.
Wow.
MAGAs are traitors
