Dumb enough to spy for russia...$100 says his handler told him it's not technically spying lol
Where there's one, methinks there would be more.
There's one heading to the white house
And he immediately nominated another Russian asset to head our National Intelligence community. MAGA chuds might think they won this election, but they're just useful idiots. This victory belongs solely to Vladimir Putin.
Roach rules. For every one you see there's ten you don't.
I dust roaches with boric acid 'roach powder' so they will go back to their lair and poison their friends.
This doesn't really work with roaches. it works really well with ants, since they drink it, feed it to their larvae, sisters and queen, who then all die. (if you dissolve it in water)
Uh, roaches straight up eat roaches. Why would it not work?
It works pretty well for me
sry, nvm, I confused boric acid and borax, which kills insects by solidifying inside their bodies.
Think it'd work on Russian agents?
afaik they don't puke half digested food in each others mouths to make sure they all get to eat, so no.
Countries are always spying on each other, particularly their embassies.
Yep, and sometimes they get caught, charged, sentenced.
Or they become president
Lol we'are about to get Russian agents in the executive branch accusing Chinese dissidents of being CCP spies, while simultaneously allow actual CCP spies to stay and harass dissidents.
Just become president and you can speak to your handler with no fear of being charged.
The 4d chess version of this story. Money is the universal solvent for problems.
Now do stein and trump
I mean, look at our next president. This is over. There's no need to worry any longer about spies. We are fully compromised. America has been sold to Russia.
And yet Tulsi Gabbard is about to become the Director of National Intelligence.
I don't remember when, but I'm sure this happened a while ago, as I remember reading about it in our domestic papers. August, maybe? A few months ago, at least.
EDIT: Ah, I see he admitted to it. I guess that's the update. The arrest was, as mentioned, long ago.
