    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?

        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 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?
