But, yeah, "insiders" (all insiders?--seems there were many "insiders" that weren't saying that) have regularly been so good at telling us the truth--not. And wily Putin would have known that if Trump was his puppet, the time to invade was while Trump was still President. There was no guarantee that he would be re-elected. With the economy down, Covid up, Trump's approval ratings not good and going down, it would appear that the time to invade, if Trump was Putin's puppet, was while he still had the puppet in his pocket.

But all this "puppet" nonsense is baseless, unproven conjecture--so must be backed up with more conjecture parading as "facts" such as "what insiders were saying." That's how the game is played. And then if you don't believe the conjectures, you're sowing distrust in media and government. Can't have that. Maintain the trust! Censor the disbelievers of official conjecture. Yeah, that'll do it.
like saying he refused to disavow white supremacists, when he’s on tape disavowing white supremacists 10 times.

everything he does is wrong. doesn’t matter what it is.
