There is nothing unbelievable about this.


But it doesn't make it true, either.

Do I think politicians take money from foreign contributors? Everyday.

What are we really going to do about it? I haven't seen anyone arrested and perp walked for any of the shite that's been proven to have actually occurred, i.e. Crossfire Hurricane.

True enough. It isn't unbelievable. That doesn't mean I necessarily believe it. Needs verified obviously. And if true then those people need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Why do these X posters post things w/o any context or evidence? Just throw some stuff out there and hope people just accept it as true?


Because they know certain folks will accept things as true if it fits the narrative they crave.

Wouldn’t surprise me if more than half these “new media” tweeters are Russian, Chinese or Ukraine bots.

Is that unusual for him?

He decries every act of war on foreign nations. Always has.

I don't trust a single one of them. I would not be surprised at all if any single one of their names came up on any list at all.

This is the most absurd shite I've ever read on this board and that's saying something. The question is why would the Venezuelans need to pay kickbacks to American pols. While the Venezuelans have been allowed to smuggle billions and billions of dollars worth of cocaine into the US for many years.


Ah see now comes the pivot. "Allowed" is not an accurate statement

It most certainly is considering we have just watched the US shut it the frick down in a matter of months. It was going on for years unimpeded. Which means it was allowed. Stop being retarded.

It was not unimpeded. That was just typically the domain of the DEA/Coast Guard.

We can't afford to divert military costs to these small-scale drug running events. Trump did that to create cover to create an excuse to invade Venezuela my dude. We can't do that as a normal day to day operation in the drug trade. Do you understand how much that would cost?

It could have been stopped at any given time. The fact that it wasn't means it was allowed. It is that simple.

Yes Bernie is an Independent. Independently wealthy! I love how these politicians apostatize about the rich and yet the majority of these politicians are multi millionaires. It seems Hypocrisy is a prerequisite for the job. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

When you realize this list is made up MAGA fan fiction, it shouldn't be surprising

Are you deeming the kickbacks a “benefit”?
