Please do. Get them out of here.

Bonus points if they get sent to the Russian front lines and blown apart by US drones lmao. A deserving fate for a traitor

These Hucker/Tuckler memes just keep getting better and better

Missed a real opportunity to build that swasitica-like image with dildos…

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is that messed-up swastika behind him just an AI hallucination or do the extra pointy bits mean something?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

guessing its supposed to represent the fasces. So a swastika composed of the symbol that named Fascism.

edit: looks like it’s from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_National_Unity

YES! yes. Do that. Okay MAGA people - on the bus! Let's go! Keep it movin' keep it movin! Next Stop! The Glorious Motherland! Just like you've always dreamed of! C'mon - you too Gingrich - get in there, you fuck! Ok bye!

They always did say "America, love it or leave it."

Well, they clearly don't love anything about America. Performative bullshit about forever wars, songs and bits of cloth do equal true patriotism.

"Let's go ~~Brandon~~MAGA!"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hmmmm. We brain drain the smart people out of Russia and into USA. While they stupid-drain our dumbasses into Russia.

I see this as a win win. Let them go there

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I'm okay with this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Brain drain for the intelligent ones, dumb plumb for the idiots

[–] realcaseyrollins 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They'd actually take it too 😂

It would be WILD if they continued their careers outside the States. But Tommy Robinson has effectively done the same.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I imagine they'd be sent to Ukraine to be killed by an arsenal Made In USA.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, the last of their type to try and make it in Russia didn't get too far.. it was a rough ending.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought some dipshit Canadian family went there for the white supremacy found it was a real shitshow there. Googles...oh yeah, the Arend and Anneesa Feenstra family ( they subjected their 8 children to this, unfortunately). Oh here is a set of American dinguses, too:

Shhh if we don't bring that up, MAGA miiiiight move to Moscow!

[–] realcaseyrollins 2 points 1 week ago

I feel like a big thing keeping the network members from fleeing is that they're being presumed innocence. I feel lime they're also the type of people to think getting arrested for this sort of thing is a badge of honor, so not all of them would be interested in fleeing anyways.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do it, take them all in Russia. We don't want them here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, because Russia will then give them a platform and put them on the direct payroll.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

So nothing changes on that front.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’d suggest they take trump but I’d rather see him sentenced and in jail here. Then again if he’s a pied piper type maybe he can drag a bunch of the MAGA talibangelicals with him.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It would serve a better public purpose to have him run away though. Hopefully finally break the idiotic brainwashing on some segment of his cult.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Yes please take as many MAGA people as possible.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I almost wondered if their media was trolling Putin there....

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

this is reminiscent of the Fox News begging Trump to pardon the Jan 6 traitors

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Russia will take them and send them to die in Ukraine

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

In a sane world, that they were duped into working for Russian disrupters would damage their brands and they'd lose their audiences. I have little expectation that that'll happen.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why would Russia want our trouble makers? Lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

They seriously still think they can glean some information. Russia's psychotic leaders have a one track mind.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 week ago

I'm so jealous...
