@w7voa You know when a parasite takes over the host, destroys it, and emerges as some weird new organism?

That’s kinda what the Russians have done to us.

@w7voa I appreciate your presence on the Fedi so much, Mr. Herman.. any chance you would take up the habit of adding alt text to your images so that they can be enjoyed more widely?
@liquor_american obviously it's best if he does that but if he doesn't you can tag a bot and it'll prepare the alt-text.

Dear Steve, you are still dreaming about the US having a 'government', listening to objections and judicial decisions. Sorry to wake you up, but US today has a 'regime' that is not accountable. They will simply make OAN worldwide.
One comfort: nobody abroad will listen to it.
@w7voa there's a society of professional journalists out there making statements? where have they been the last 20 years?!?!
@rothko @w7voa the Society prefers to work.....in the shadows

@w7voa Totally on-brand for Mr. Trump and his mission to burn away any remaining trust that the world has in the United States.

Cui Bono?
