The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

bighairymike: Yep, dragging out the ol' reliable Russia, Russia, Russia.

Well, let's see.

Benny Johnson, one of the influencers pushing Russian propaganda for Tenet Media, has featured Donald Trump Jr. for the channel in February, the Trump campaign’s deputy director of communications Caroline Sunshine in August, and twice interviewed Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law and current co-chair of the Republican National Committee, in March and June. Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt popped up in a Tenet video, praising the “fantastic, loyal audience” Johnson had created.

Trump sycophant Ted Cruz has been featured in a Tenet video, praising the “fantastic, loyal audience” Johnson had created. And Scott Presler, a conspiracy theorist who headed a group that helped plan “stop the steal” rallies before the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, as well as chaired a group called Gays for Trump.

And Kari Lake.

And Jan. 6 defendant Jacob Chansley, better known as QAnon Shaman.

Lauren Southern had some of the channel’s most popular videos alleging progressive politicians are encouraging illegal immigration to win elections.

They posted about race, LGBTQ issues, the Israel Gaza war, censorship of conservatives, the “crumbling” of society, and stoked baseless fears about what they claim is rampant violent crimes by migrants. And they posted about Ukraine, framing its fight against Russian aggression as a waste of money for Americans.

Jeez, the indictment suggests videos were posted directly by Russian operatives employed by RT.

But sure... it's just that fake Russia, Russia, Russia stuff.

And you're in a cult that worships a rapist felon who called American war dead "suckers" and "losers," used Arlington National Cemetery as a campaign prop, stole highly classified military intelligence, refused to have his administration cooperate with the incoming administration, refused to attend Biden's inauguration, pimps NFTs, gym shoes, bibles, and pieces of his suits, and tried to get fake electors to steal the 2020 presidential election before sending a mob to attack the Capitol to illegally remain in power.
