Russian President Vladimir Putin has seemingly invited conservatives chafing under “neoliberal ideals” in their home countries to move to Russia, where he claimed “traditional values reign supreme,” and Alex Jones suggested he might take him up on the offer.

The Russian president signed a decree offering assistance to foreigners seeking temporary residence in his country and expanding the quota approved by the nation’s government and setting aside a requirement for knowing the Russian language, history and basic laws, and Jones urged his followers to consider sanctuary there.

    Please take them. Please, please, please take them all.

    What they don’t know is that they’ll immediately be sent to Ukraine. One-way ticket probably.

            Don’t start splitting inconsequential hairs with me, buddy! Episode 765 of Knowledge Fight reviews Tim Fruge’s deposition in which he discusses the silver coins they had stored in the wearhouse (if I remember correctly. It’s been over a year since I heard this episode). Just because he makes most of his money from pills doesn’t mean he can’t also have silver coins.

                I haven’t tuned in much lately, mostly because so little changed about AJ in the aftermath of the lawsuit. Also, my commute went from 30-45 minutes down to 10-15

                How’s the new content? Should I start tuning in again or stick with Behind the Bastards?

                  Eh nothing super important. Alex is laundering money through his dad very transparently and Alex already started sandy hook denying.

                  There was one episode a few weeks ago where it seemed like some bankruptcy thing was progressing and Alex had a real spicy episode.

                  All in all it is kinda a slow period yeah.

      Oh no, absolutely they shouldn’t go! That would be so terrible for all of us progressives. Once they leave and take all their useful skills with them we absolutely will fail as a country and will cry tears of shame that we ever questioned them. That would show us so hard. We would be so owned!

      My bet is that more likely some of them will suddenly be caught with drugs, accused of spying and other made up crimes and sentences to 15 years in prison.

      Then they will get exchanged with the US for war criminals.

        Anyone who moves there for “sanctuary” should automatically be left out of prisoner exchanges. Though I suspect they’re more useful as propaganda tools to talk about how much better Russia is than the US.

      A lot of the far-right chuds that would take Putin up on this offer are well above combat age. Now, using these people to make up the labor shortfall caused by the Ukraine war? I can absolutely see that one.

      Either that, or he’d just pamper them in exchange for utilizing them as propaganda mouthpieces for his regime.

        The russians are sending undesirables to die, regardless of age. They have been luring people from abroad for some time now. Promises of jobs and on arrival you get put on a truck to Ukraine.

      Growing up (I was a kid during Reagan’s Presidency), I heard more than one conservative pundit saying “better dead than Red!” I guess Russia is technically not the USSR; but, it strikes me as funny to see conservative pundits now seemingly open to becoming Russian.

        Yeah, I grew up in the same era. A lot of Kill a Commie for Mommy shit left over from the '60s too. Remember Red Dawn?

        Reagans non-policy on aids is a major reason I’m where I am politically now. I watched a few neighbors and family friends suffer and die in silence because of him. The worship that guy got from the gop was always a mystery to me but even just a few years ago I’ve been told he was the Greatest Ever President. But these same people are all over putins dick. It makes no sense.

          Yeah I was raised anti Reagan because he took my grandma’s widow money while she was raising two kids on a hairdresser’s pay. Then I grew up a bit and saw the devastation aids did to my community as a result of his refusal to respond as well as his attacks on our country’s inner cities. Then I grew up further and saw how he hollowed out my country’s economy for short term profits and even the things people praised him for were bad.

    Apparently Republicans are tired of democracy and almost every single traditional American value. Like supporting the middle class and human rights.
    Russia will probably be perfect for them, until they figure out their dream is actually a nightmare.

      The only problem is that they are most likely the assholes that have no problems ripping everyone else off, and doing so might mean taking the wealth they’ve misappropriated with things like their hate content away from us and any legal accountability. Meaning that a priority should be to make sure their accounts are frozen when they attempt to go over there.

    Makes sense. After all you won’t need to know any of that stuff out on the front lines in Ukraine.
