@joni_askola I agree with you. But i think she is not smart. She has learned how to make a living by lying, betraying, inventing dirty stories about her victims. She is a scammer. She should stay in Russia.
@joni_askola She has all the info about Russia's activity, of all the shooting from Russia to Ukrainian civilians. This is not stupidity, it is pure evil.
@joni_askola True, the minute she does a MTG and flips the script, she's out the next window.
russia never needed ideology, it needs yes men to whatever the Czar/Party/Dictator says. And that can change at its whims.
Just ask: Prigzhin, Strelkov, Motorola, Zakarchenko.
@joni_askola Francine Villa, who appeared in the 2020 RT doc "Black in the USSR"
"I feel free living in Russia, because in Russia, no matter what time it is, I can walk outside and I'm safe." But 5yrs later, she posted a heartbreaking video detailing a racist assault against her and her baby.
@joni_askola You’ve said it all. She is also a lunatic conspiracy queen who lies and make up tons of fake stories to stay in the media’s attention in order to make $$$$.
Do not be fooled by Candace Owens and her shiny propaganda tour of Russia.
The only reason she can walk around safely is because she is acting as a state propagandist.
In reality, Russia is an incredibly dangerous and bad place for her.
The Kremlin is giving Owens a massive platform because she tells them exactly what they want to hear. She is a propagandist for the Russian state. What she is hiding from her followers is that Russia is an intensely and increasingly authoritarian, sexist, and racist society.
In their rigid social hierarchy, an ordinary Black woman would possess zero rights and find herself at the very bottom of the ladder. Domestic violence is normal and legally tolerated in Russia. She would also face daily racism. She loves to claim that Russia is safe, yet the country has a murder rate higher than the United States, and significantly higher than Europe. It is also impossible to trust the authorities, who can arbitrarily arrest you as a foreigner at any moment.
Instead of telling this truth, she is pushing the false narrative that Russia is a shining beacon of Christian conservative values. It is a total fabrication. Russia has staggering rates of societal violence, domestic abuse, divorce, abortion, and state corruption. Russia is also committing genocide in Ukraine. Not very Christian.
She is operating as a direct tool of Russian state media, betraying her own audience with dangerous lies. The freedom she claims to experience is a total illusion, manufactured by a regime that locks up its own citizens for holding up blank pieces of paper. She is a fraud and a traitor selling a fake utopia. She belongs in jail for betraying the US on behalf of Russia
Blanche acts as Trump’s personal attorney and political henchman, but the Attorney General’s client is supposed to be the American people.
He will never understand that.
... pursuing illegal U.S. Attorney appointments, having courts regularly throw out indictments and grand juries return "no bills," and costing the Department its customary "presumption of regularity."
He is a walking disgrace.
Todd Blanche was behind the Epstein Files cover-up, the rotten cop-beaters slush fund, and a sleazy tax fraud amnesty for the Trump family and businesses; all while causing an unprecedented "fraud on the court" investigation of the Department... 🧵
It is Albanians, not Americans, who are protesting against American corruption.
The US appears to have accepted the corruption of the Trump family, so we Americans have to rely upon the sound anti-corruption sentiments of others.
Truly embarrassing, but thank you, Albania!
Applebaum: Trump is using a specific language from the 1930s: “enemies within,” “enemies of the people,” migrants and political opponents as “vermin,” migrants “poisoning the blood” of Americans.
That language comes from Hitler, Stalin and the Stasi. 1/
Agriculture Sec @BrookeLRollins in November: "We have screwworm under control south of the border. Beef prices will come down by spring 2026"
Beef prices continue to rise, and screwworm is now in the US.
I asked Senate Republicans who among them thought Trump’s slush fund was a good idea. None replied and silence filled the chamber.
I then offered Republicans a chance to shut it down by voting for my amendment.
They chose not to. They are simply too scared of crossing this corrupt president.
