    $2,000,000,000 per election, most from corporations: I sleep

    Influence campaigns by Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc.: I sleep

    $100,000 in shitty facebook ads from Russia: REAL SHIT

      Is there even any evidence that these ads are really directed by Russian government, rather than just some individual from Russia? Because otherwise, calling it “Russian election meddling” is dishonest.

        American dishonesty that conveniently redirects responsibility for the anti-democratic nature of the state to foreign scapegoats? Couldn’t be.

    Liberals: NPR is unbiased! They do such a great job of just presenting the facts without all that media fluff

      I asked my government teacher in highschool, who seemed about like an NPR listener, what was the least biased news site. He said BBC.

    Just in”? More like tiresome, decrepit and overripe vilification repeated ad nauseum since the last presidential election.

    They managed to libel Russia, China and Iran all in a single sentence. Should’ve also tossed in Nicaragua, North Korea and Venezuela to appeal to the entire panoply of regime changers!

    And, since they claim both poor defenseless Trump and Biden are “undermined”, both Dem and Republican ignoramuses can now blissfully retweet such equivocal run-on sentences.

    As they read from their monotonous scripts, ostensibly dependable NPR, PBS NewsHour and Democracy Now are gleefully having their cake and eating it too. They just can’t lose audience interest from repeating accusations and denigration aimed at the US’s perceived archenemies. Easier targets there aren’t any.

    LMAO. That’s a pretty hilarous claim by the CIA. “OUR BOGEYMEN, THEY’RE DOING AN ANTI-DEMOCRACY!”

    China is attempting to undermine President Trump’s campaign

    Good Guy China, I’ll toast a drink for them when he fails again :)

    Russia is working to malign Joe Biden

    The chronically underserved, struggling, suburbanite wine libs and poor downtrodden Democratic Party with its defenseless, barely solvent corporate donors will never recover.

    Iran is trying to undermine U.S. democratic institutions

    Yeah “U.S.” and “democratic” do not belong in the same fucking sentence, ever. What institutions that exist sure as fuck don’t serve the proletariat or support any process resembling democracy, so let them fucking be “undermined”.

    Aside from the entire tweet being a load of fabricated fearmongering horseshit, it really speaks to the liberal mayo’s perverse worldview that any of that, were it true, is somehow bad for literally anyone.

    Funnily enough we don’t need any help destroying our country/culture. We’re doing a fine job on our own.

    Great, now no matter who wins, we’ll spend the next 4 years being forced to listen to people blaming other countries for their own problems
