Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Lauren Southern, Tayler Hansen, Matt Christiansen and Dave Rubin. I wonder how many of our resident MAGA faithfuls are listening to these guys and getting their "information" from them.

Russia Russia Russia, just in time for the election...

Useful idiots. Also those who watched them and believed.

And for some reason you dismiss it likes it’s nothing, but if it was against the Dems you’d be all over it like a rash. 
Your hypocrisy and identity politics knows no bounds. 
Whether direct collusion or indirect I think I’d be super concerned I was supporting a candidate that Russia obviously wants to win.

It's not clear to me that Russia wants Trump to win.

So, you have no idea what you are talking about, you are just regurgitating a leftist talking point.

That is some delusional stuff right there. So who do you think Russia wants to win because they seem to be pouring an awful lot of resources into it being Trump and have for many, many years

It’s not “unbeknownst”. It’s wilful ignorance

What because Putin once said this? He’s a very skilful politician and never going to say he supports Trump but Russia’s actions seem to differ dramatically from this obvious Putin ruse as this investigation yet again proves.

China and Iran wants Harris too as she is weak.

Really? And your evidence for this with both Iran and China actively promoting Harris through situations like this is exactly what?
There's not been a single piece of evidence to back this up so is it just another one of your fantasies to detract from Russian interference in Trumps favour, time and time again.

Predictability is generally a very good quality in a person who's got the nuclear codes.

Good for opposition. They know what Harris will do. The art of war is deception. Famous book about it. Your opponents should never know what you are thinking.

The problem is with Trump there's very little thinking involved. Furthermore, your claim that uncertainty is good for international relations is laughable.

Since Sun Tzu wrote his oft (mis)quoted book we've gotten weapons of mass destruction. Uncertainty is something you want to avoid at all cost when your opponents can obliterate you within an hour.

If you're referring to this question ("Watched and believed what?") the answer is obviously; all the BS they were/are feeding you.

They are now exposed as Putin's useful idiots and if there was ever any doubt (there wasn't) about who Putin would like to see as the next president then it's clearly Trump, the moron who believes Putin more than his own people.

How is it they are useful idiots for Putin?

 

What is it Putin has told them to say that they are saying?

 

I think you really no nothing about the topic.

You've never heard of strategic ambiguity? 

 

That's why Putin didn't attack Ukraine on Trump's watch like he did on Obama's and then Biden's.  There's no telling what the crazy bad orange man would have done...  Obama and Biden were absolutely predictable.
