Hm, I'm sure it has nothing to do with donnie being butthurt that Ped-o-lago had to be searched since he stole classified documents.
Also, I'm sure her being a woman, Muslim and a POC has nothing to do with anything...
Then why did they say she was raided due to immigration and document paperwork?
MMW, this will go nowhere
It might become an attempt at revoking her citizenship if they find anything they can spin or lie about to suggest she might have said something untrue on her citizenship application. But more likely it'll be a "she got away with it" kind of bullshit vibe from the conservative propaganda outlets in future.
Her father (now deceased) filled out her citizenship paperwork when she was a child. The propaganda is now about the horrors of dead people having done their best by their children.
Eh, they'll likely ignore that context and just continue to spew bullshit against her. Because truth matters less than a conveniently dog-whistled story to them.
Oh I get that. I was calling out Mr maga about his bullshit.
Also, if she gets investigated the Elon should be as well.
I thought all the Russian bots were gone. WTH are you doing here buddy? Are you missing your other bot friends?
Other than the normal racist republican rants I’ve seen nothing that ties her to welfare fraud. Can we see an article about this to prove your claim?
Ever hear the fable of The Boy Who Cried Wolf?
Ugh for fuck sake. Zero evidence.
Meanwhile, a (Republican) Senator from Florida was literally an integral part of the largest Medicare fraud in US history: no problem whatsoever.
I'm referring to Rick Scott for anyone who didn't already know about that.
Yeah. The fact that Rick Scott is not rotting away in prison says so much.
Meanwhile, we are encouraged to assume that donnie's corrupt AF administration is on the up and up here, and we should "do our own research" on Omar as to the why?
I did my own research. The graffiti scribbled on the wall of the public bathroom said she was behind 9-11! /s since this is so close to a comment by someone who drank the Kkkool-Aid
Care to give some examples?
Search "Omar Somalia Minnesota welfare fraud".
I realize it's not spoken of here, but it's a real case with prison sentences and everything.
Get outta here pedophile lover
I searched, and what I found was that Ilhan Omar had recieved donations from someone running a fraud company. Those donations were then either returned or donated to another cause. I'm not seeing any reputable news sources making any claims about her involvement.
dO yOuR oWn ReSeArCh!
Wait not like that
So, no then? Very cool.
Provide links to the sources.
I thought most of the russian data centers doing social media manipulation were burned to the ground. Guess you are from a different one?
Care to share the location?
Naa they're just an idiot tankie. Fediverse is to small to be focused on, we have our own russian shills doing it for free.
I expect most of the tankies are Russian. And why would we be too small? We're one of the easier platforms to influence, and we have enough to make the list.
The fediverse is a drop in the bucket was my point. They don't need to since the devs of Lemmy are tankies already. So no need to waste resources (bots) on Lemmy when western tankies are doing it for free.
They're focusing on YT/Facebook/Twitter/Reddit sized platforms.
I'm not saying we're not a decent size but in the grand scheme of things we're a drop in the ocean.
True but they generally try to infiltrate everything. Even bots on Pinterest. Pushing AI.
Of all places you would think would be off their radar since it's just sharing crafts and recipes. But nope. They are there too.
Hey MAGA, here’s another four letter acronym for ya:
GTFO.
Donnie stole classified documents and refused to return them. He was practically daring them to search Ped-o-lago.
Huh, yesterday you said I am an "independendophobe". I guess you aren't still pretending you're not a trump supporter?
Hey! You're fucking filth, absolute trash, and a garbage excuse for a human.
I thought your office got bombed the other day?
