What would Trump and his gang do differently if they were Russian agents? Nothing except maybe be more discrete about it.

Certainly makes you wonder.

[–] Lovstuhagen@hilariouschaos.com 2 points 3 months ago

To be completely fair, the US DoD is absolutely full of useless contractor positions and various departments & subdepartments that do nothing.

When I was in the Army I could even say that there were offices that did virtually nothing and were overstaffed. Not as common, of course, but this is a very real phenomenon in the government.

They're doing more damage to America than any of our enemies could ever dream to do.

They are all multi-millionaires. They have no reason to be Russian agents. They are already rich and powerful. The russian agent narrative is idiotic.

Just because some isn't a democrat, doesn't mean they are a russian agent. LMAO

[–] llamatron@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well that's the thing with the rich and powerful. There's no such thing as enough.

[+] DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today -7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But there's definitely such a thing as being rich and powerful enough to not have to be a fucking russian agent.

Fucking lemmy, man....

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yet they are, so guess it's ideological motivation not financial?

[–] DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today -4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, because it's not real. They aren't russian assets. How many fucking people have you accused of being a russian asset so far? You accuse Lemmy posters of it, now politicians.

We all know that you're the actual russian asset just making up shit to get people riled up. lol

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Except it is. And not many just those that are acting in the interests of russia. I rarely accuse lemmy posters of that kind of stuff I haven't in AGES. And yeah dawg I'm the Russian asset? How? Because I oppose their dogma? Okie dokie!

[–] DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today -5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not everyone who doesn't agree with you is a fucking russian asset. Especially if they are fucking multi-millionaires. You are engaging in red scare tactics and it's fucking lame.

And yes, I think you are the russian asset. the fact that you cry about it so much makes me think you are. You troll around conservative communites and talk shit, even tho you aren't conservative. You're a troll and your trying to make everyone suspicious of everyone.

I mean, you are welcome to do that. It's just fucking lame. lmao

Absolutely! I've never made that claim! So not sure why you're bringing it up, but you do you.

You are engaging in red scare tactics

It's not red scare, is fascist awareness, not sure why you are conflating the two.

And yes, I think you are the russian asset. the fact that you cry about it so much makes me think you are.

Just lol. Ok, sure thing bud lol.

You troll around conservative communites and talk shit, even tho you aren't conservative. You're a troll and your trying to make everyone suspicious of everyone.

Calling out when fascists are fascist isn't trolling though? Is pointing out the hypocrisy, and blatant attack on the US from the GOP trolling? Is pointing out the global threat that trump is a troll? Nah not even close. I am in no way trying to make everyone suspicious of anyone else, any evidence would be amazing!

I've been actually silenced and unfrairly treated on the conservative comm, but, as you said I'm allowed to be there.

Just because you don't like that we point things out, doesn't mean we're trolling.

Calling out when fascists are fascist isn’t trolling though?

Conservatives aren't fascists though. And yes, you are trolling going into conservative communites just to talk shit about every post you see there. You're a known fucking troll.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Did I say conservatives are fascist? And no, I'm not trolling lol but you can call me that if you like.

[–] DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today -5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I am calling you that.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're welcome to do so! If I bother you so much, why don't you mute me?

[–] DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today -5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You don't bother me enough to mute you. I laugh every single time I see your posts. lmao

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Fair, I cringe every time I see yours :)

[–] Lovstuhagen@hilariouschaos.com 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wow, it ain't just DOGE

[–] Chucklestheclown@hilariouschaos.com -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It’s mind boggling how much money we waste on the military. I’m pro military but the money should be spent for war fighting and not bullshit

[–] Lovstuhagen@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 3 months ago

Agreed
