A man attacked the husband of congresswoman Nancy Pelosi with a hammer, almost killing him. Charlie Kirk laughs about it. He says anyone who bailed out the attacker would be a great patriot (files.catbox.moe)

As long as it's not your country's responsibility! Good thing you have a general purpose bogeyman.

    Theres plenty of evidence that Russia has been paying right wing influencers to spread misinformation. Its not a fucking bogeyman, this is reality.

    Oooohhh and pray tell, how can you know which molecule of a tornado toppled over THAT house in particular?

    It's a bogeyman, the same way Russia hysteria has been for Americans since the 1950s. You are being manipulated, that's true, but look closer to home.

    If you think Russia isn't involved in the destabilization of America, something that has been shown again and again for at LEAST the last decade or so, I've got a nice bridge to sell you mate.

    LOL please explain how. What's the mechanism? I mean besides your confirmation bias. Show me how. Brain rays? What are you even talking about?

    You think your all powerful amazing empire can be destabilized (as if stability is somehow owed to you? Despite all the other empires in history that have fallen without Russia?) by what? Five gifs? A weak and disorganized country of drunks that is also somehow the greatest threat in the Big Bang?

    Is anything in your country your responsibility?

    This "Russia Russia Russia" stuff is like a child caught in a lie and pointing at his sibling saying "it was HIIIIM!"

    Grow up. None of these brainworm ideas are the cause of your "destabilization". In any case, propaganda works both ways, and you can find just as much of it, as you say, for LEAST the last decade, or 5 or 6.

    Yet somehow you were able to launch Apollo 11 during the peak of the Cold War Soviet Union, when the brain rays were stong.

    Yet NOW you're uniquely destabilized.

    Brain. Worms.
