Tenet Media: DOJ alleges Russia funded US company linked to Tim Pool and Benny Johnson | CNN Politics

It’s one thing if a politician says it, it’s quite another if the DOJ says it.
Indeed. Interesting point to note- the indictment explicitly says that ‘Company 1’ (that would be Tenet Media) founders, ‘founder 1’ and ‘founder 2’ - (that would be Lauren Chen and Liam Donovan) - were knowingly part of this. It puts them right in there with the two accused. Yet in neither makes them nor refers to them as “unindicted co-conspirators”. My bet is Chen and Donovan are both charged on a sealed indictment, and likely flipped on their handlers to cooperate with the investigation. Random fun fact, Chen is Canadian.Tenet Media: DOJ alleges Russia funded US company linked to Tim Pool and Benny Johnson | CNN Politics

A few prominent social media personalities have been skewered and deeply embarrassed by this. It’s one thing to be accused by your comments section of being a foreign adversary’s useful idiot; it’s another to have it laid out in an indictment where it’s super easy to determine who “Commentator 1” and “Commentator 2” are.

Aside from the ice cream shake (which may be stranger than the “Dijon mustard” thing the GOP tried to slag Obama with), the whole argument doesn’t make sense.
Sure, some women may not love Tim Walz, but that’s not necessarily (or usually) down to a single-issue thing like masculinity. There are all sorts of reasons why they might not love him. It does tell me something though - Jesse Watters is trying to reduce a wide range of reasons to “women love manly men”. If this was on the Five or some other panel show with women, I’d hope they cut to the women in that panel to see their reactions.
…and that’s besides the point - I may support certain politicians but I don’t love any of them.

Harris seems more masculine than Walz. The hand and arm waving on stage is just weird…

Well it’s probably a good thing that elections aren’t decided on who is more manly.

24 years of service seems pretty manly to me. What an odd thing to nitpick on.
Just to piggyback on what the VP is saying, it would behoove you to keep the Sergeant Major’s vanilla milkshake out of this. Tracking?

After seeing him on stage being weird, there is a reason why he was picked as a VP candidate. Don't want tooo strong of a VP to overshadow Harris.
It is. Par for the course…
