    Yeah, I was going to comment on this, but you were faster. This is the first time that I’ve noticed a major media outlet connecting Republicans with Russia. So it’s an open secret now?

      I don’t think it’s a secret at all anymore.

      Hasn’t this been an open secret for years? Does no one remember Paul Ryan talking about Russian payola to trump and other Republican traitors back in 2016?

        I can’t believe I’m actually gonna say this, but I miss that guy. He was a bastard, but at least he was a “normal” politician and not some batshit psycho.

        And he retired to run a weed company iirc. wtf.

          I can’t find the weed company on Wikipedia (you could be right, I just looked cursorily), but he’s on the board of directors at Fox News. Also I learned that he’s related through marriage to both Ketanji Brown-Jackson and a very hardcore George Wallace stan.

          All in all, I should not have read his Wikipedia, it’s destroyed the hope that I had, that he might have become normal and would be interested in fixing things.

        The comment is about headlines, not open secrets. I know you read the comment, why did you respond like this?

          I was responding to a comment talking about the open secret of Russian connections to republicans, not about the headline. Are you sure you responded to the right comment?

      It’s the first time I’ve noticed a major non-liberal media outlet pointedly connecting Republicans with Russia. Which is a pretty big deal tbh.

          90%, but your point still stands. Anyone remember the saying “Weak men create hard times”? Those are the weak men. Little bitch-boys that need a strongman to tell them what to think.
