A week after the 2016 election, you had Konstantin Rykov--one of the Kremlin's top online propagandists--openly bragging over Facebook about their interference with our elections to get Trump elected.

It's an open secret to everyone except those with their heads in the sand.

taking out the kidneys and liver at once?

The kidneys filter, so maybe he means Musk removing or altering content moderation and allowing trolls…?


On edit….maybe it's making verification meaningless, in which case it's to affect future elections with misinformation. He sounded a little huffy, so maybe he knows we got this one. Fingers crossed.

and the presidency (liver) to establish a total dictatorship. Or the liver could refer to making the Supreme Court totally irrelevant in protecting democracy. They’re closee enough to that already with the current makeup of the Court. And with a future dictator would solely appoint future SC justices.

We’ve known all along that Russia has conducted disinformation campaigns, and I believe Tucker Carlson is on their payroll. I will never understand why there was no investigation of the election systems after the 2016 election when it was known that Russian hackers had broken into those systems in 30+ states but supposedly did nothing to change the votes or affect whose vote was allowed to count. Why hack a system if you’re trying to ensure certain election results without making any changes?

got indictments for 13 Russian nationals, 3 Russian companies, 12 Russian GRU officers, and Konstantin Kilimnik.

No convictions because the Russians wouldn't show up in court in America, no extradition.
