    I just had to post this in reply to a comment someone replied to me yesterday, because they were adamant Fashy Maggie was just a useful idiot and not a Russian agent.

    Turns out, the user is just a useful idiot running interference for Kremlin supported Republicans. I’m shocked.

      Where do you draw the line between the two though? When exactly does a useful idiot become a Russian agent?

        When they accept money for their service?

        If you are pushing Russias talking points and not getting paid for it then that is the definition of an idiot.

            We do not have access to her accounts, and we are not allowed to audit people’s transactions.

            IRS should be able to figure out whether she took money from the Russian.

            But to answer your question indirectly, I didn’t suggest that she was a Russian agent, I was just responding to the part about distinguishing between agents and idiots. I wouldn’t be shocked if she was doing it on the hope that they would pay her rather than actually being paid.

        Is there a line? That would be a question about what punishment to give, not about guilt.
