    You know how Russia has an actual, functional government on paper, but we all know the real power there are the Oligarchs with ties to Putin? Trump wants to directly replicate this in the US.

    It takes a full article to explain how Trump is connected, through these wanna-be oligarchs, to this effort to discredit Biden with outright lies. Most people won’t bother reading it. That is what Trump and his friends are counting on, though.

    How many times has Putin done this in Russia, and ruined the careers of opponents by making shit up in such a manner that it sticks legally?

    This is why it’s so important to oppose Trump now. If Trump is elected again, it might be the last free election we have. We will still have elections, but they will turn into the rubber stamps for the oligarchy that they are in Russia right now.

    Sounds like conspiracy and obstruction charges should be coming down the pipeline in a few months… Hopefully…
