New from me and killer team at : Russia's top propagandist foretold Putin's justification for invading Ukraine through a gory war film, and appears to be behind Cameo videos of Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump Jr. praising a fictional character.

This kind of shit is a leading reason I never reported any of my sexual assaults. If you can’t prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it happened exactly the way you said it did, people like Adam Schefter will call you a liar.

This is why Deshaun Watson, from the beginning, welcomed a police investigation: He felt he knew that the truth would come out. And today, a grand jury did not charge him on any of the criminal complaints.

A week ago I was hearing Joe Oltmann rant about Ukrainian biolabs and wondering what the hell he was talking about. Now it's all over mainstream right-wing media. Wild how much the farthest fringes are driving the cart in the Republican Party right now.
Quote Tweet
I’d heard Oltmann mention Ukrainian “bio labs” a bunch this week, so this explains that.
When everything that happens in the world fits into the same us-vs.-Satan framework, that’s not a conspiracy theory anymore, it’s the cosmology of a new religion. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/c

Nowhere in this story does it mention Pence's role in Trump's efforts to deny $391 million in military aid to Ukraine until Zelenskyy helped Trump get reelected.
Instead, it simply quotes Pence saying, "I can tell you the American people are with you."

Jennifer Griffin has been all over Fox News to talk about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, oftentimes debunking extremist pro-Kremlin allegations. She hasn't been on Tucker Carlson's show since 2018.

Brings me so much disgust and anger anytime anyone defends Alex Jones you don’t have to have lost a child to understand the extreme pain Jones caused to grieving parents with children who were shot to death by saying it was a conspiracy at Sandy Hook.

The only surprising thing about Christina Bobb leaving OAN to probably work for Trump is that merely pushing the election lies was enough for Trump to overlook the incredibly dull, drab, weird television they put out. OAN has huge loser stink.

Tucker, Hannity et al are pushing an ugly line about Ukrainian biolabs. So:
Officials debunked this *during the Trump administration,* noting they're Soviet relics the US is securing.
Obama discussed this in 2013.
A 2005 article flags it.

Tucker Carlson says the US:
- "helped encourage" the Russian invasion
- "engineered a coup in Ukraine in the name of democracy"
- confirmed Russian claims about bioweapons are "totally and completely true"
Who else says this B.S.? Vladimir Putin.

During the energy crisis of the 1970s — when Detroit was still cranking out gas guzzlers — racists would refer to more efficient Japanese cars as “rice burners.” Palin is old enough to misremember the racist phrase.

Tucker Carlson said the "last thing" he wants is to traffic in Russian disinformation and QAnon conspiracism.
Then he repeated a Russian conspiracy theory, also being disseminated by China and QAnon fans, that may presage a Putin chemical attack on Ukraine.
