This is one of the least logical Russiagate accusations I've ever heard.

The casino was open until like 2014 but wasn't all that popular through the 2010s. Let's call tbe peak the 90s to the early 00s.

You're suggesting that some nebulous "Russians" (who? Politicians? Oligarchs? Gangsters? Typically only gangsters need to launder money) took their ill-gotten roubles, converted them to USD (already a form of money laundering, doing this alone would suffice), flew to Atlantic City, gambled it away in Trump's casino, converted their winnings back to roubles (losing heavily during the exchange rate process), and flew back to Russia, because Trump was friendly or something? All at a time when Russia was politically neutral to the US during the Fukuyama End of History era? At a time when the rouble wasn't banned from global markets? What fucking purpose would laundering their money in a different nation's currency altogether actually serve?

Do you actually think before you post or do you just fire off some fucking Tom Clancy fanfic with Trump and Spooky Russians :tm: attached to it and expect it to be taken at face value?

This is just particularly mask off regular liberalism. Look at how the average liberal talks about Russia in the context of the war in Ukraine, ans they all have this thought in their mind. The only acceptable outcome of the war is the absolute and utter genocide of Russians as a culture and a country for the average lib.

This is how he's always been, he's always been a failson who got ahead on Mafia tactics. He inherited a ton of contacts and networks from his father along with a ton of money, and pissed it away on gaudy gold toilets and bankrupting casinos. He never actually ran a proper business in his life.

Last I heard he was driving taxis up in LA.

It's also based as fuck, what's your point?

Advertisements are detrimental to mental health.

I've actually developed a fucking Pavlovian response to the words "but first, let's talk about..." or any variation in a video, because 9 times out of 10 the creator is about to shill out for a scam product despite my ad blockers.

Spoken like someone who's never been in a union before.

Personal anecdotes are not gospel. There are people who consider a single dollar as a union fee to be too much money, and hate unions on ideological grounds.

They are, generally speaking, net positives for a worker.

Other countries absolutely shouldn't file retaliatory tariffs against the US.

They should simply cut trade entirely and blockade the country from accessing the global market

Once you get over 50% approval you enter dictatorship territory, every 1% over 50% is 2% more dictatorial.

Cause Elon is an ebic engineer just like Torb, of course.

The "problem" (I hesitate to use the word because open warfare fucking sucks) is that the West has been thoroughly brain poisoned by not having seen an actual open, peer level conflict in 3/4 of a century. Since WW2 the West has only ever conceived of war in terms of abstracts or fighting against barely equipped targets.

Five rounds a day for artillery makes perfect sense when your artillerymen are spending 80% of the war bored and jacking off, maybe called up once a day to bombard a small village. The idea of needing to desperately bombard a position for hours to drive a determined and equipped force back is literally beyond the Western mind most of the time.

Or that Merkel, who told Zelensky to violate the Minsk accords, because NATO would back him to the hilt, was somehow not an enemy of Russia.
