The cops should nab that pedo in the photo.

[Don't look at me!]

Thought ballon for the girl on the right:
“Oh, this poor sick man”.

[Fats of Fury]

One good shart will wipe the smile off the girl behind him.

[VULGAR MADMAN]

At least she’s out of groping distance.

[VULGAR MADMAN]

Most of them are too old for him.

But the blonde looks like she uses a great smelling shampoo, without conditioner....

Democratic Influencers, Media Figures Spread Fake Tucker Carlson Quote

"On Monday, former Republican and ex-congressman Joe Walsh fabricated a Tucker Carlson quote on Twitter. It immediately caught the attention of Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans who hope to see the Fox News host canceled.
Walsh attributed the following statement to Carlson: "What if these bodies of tortured, dead civilians were staged? What if they're fake? What if the Ukrainian military killed them and then blamed Russia? I'm not saying any of this is true, I'm just asking the questions. Why can't we ask these questions?"

Tony was spreading the accusation here yesterday.

[VULGAR MADMAN]

Tony is the king of fakery.

Shrike easily owns that title. Number of socks alone, denials of his child porn past, and easily debunked OSF talking points.

[VULGAR MADMAN]

I can barely keep up though.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kuckland]

I would have to vote for the one and only white "HO2" mike

[Mike Liarson]

I agree.

So, previously, they had announced that as part of a counter intelligence program against Putin, they would be asserting unverified facts and asking uncorroborated questions to put Putin on the defensive. To let him and the world know that they're on to any collusive activities he may be up to and to spread dissent among them.

Falsely framing Carlson for asking the question "Why can't we ask questions about the bodies?" would be an attempt to prevent people from asking questions. A form of counter intelligence program against portions of the American Media. Not at all unprecedented in American history but, still, very informative about the perpetrators.

[Minadin]

You guys use the word 'He' a lot when talking about the current administration's policies and tactics.

I believe it would be more accurate to say 'his administration', and even more accurate to say 'the administration'. Because Joe Biden doesn't know what day it is or whether he's eating Rocky Road or Cookies & Cream.

[VULGAR MADMAN]

He’s definitely a puppet.

[mad.casual]

Also, regardless of his mental competence, it should be clear that when someone around the President, say, throws a laptop or a handgun in the trash, whether that's a violation of the President's personal policy, his administration's policy, or any/all administrations' policies. Especially given the frequency that Biden speaks publicly without speaking for the administration.
