  1. In the wake of the indictment, Lauren Chen lost her work visa and was forced to leave the country. She also vanished from social media. It seemed unlikely she would return to the United States anytime soon.

    But this holiday season, Chen and her husband were back in Nashville, where she lived while running Tenet. She broke the news herself, by announcing on Instagram and X on Christmas Day that she could now return to the United States, and specifically thanking the State Department’s Joe Rittenhouse, a senior adviser on consular affairs and former Trump presidential campaign worker, for his help.

  2. Yup, Money. That’s all that takes for Trump to sell out the USA. Just give him a check, and tell him how big his penis is, and boom, visa!

  3. I don’t think Donald Trump is an asset or a Russian spy. A spy would be less obvious about it.

    He is exactly what he appears a guy who is willing to make a deal with anyone provided they pay his customary bribe.

    So an op-ed against israel and they will kick you out of the country. But if you run a russian influence scheme you get a visa? HOW ARE YOU ALL NOT CONVINCED TRUMP IS A TRAITOR.

  5. Crazy that the people who would have supported McCarthyism pre-2016 have now gone all the way to the opposite end of the Russki spectrum.

    There are some days where I wish I was just an immoral asshole because grifting off rightwing idiocy seems too easy.

    >THE IDEA THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION would assist the foreign founders of an illegally funded media outlet aimed at reaching American audiences with Russian propaganda might seem outlandish.

    Absolutely not outlandish. Russian propaganda helps Trump. Of course he’s going to step in and ensure that propaganda can happen.

  8. Americans, wake up. Putin has installed a Russian puppet in the White House and he is destroying your country from within and making you a world pariah. Love, one of your former allies.

  9. Remind me again who’s the demented old man screaming “Russia Russia Russia” in every rally? Someone should tell him if he doesn’t want to be considered a Russian agent, he should stop helping Russia overtly.

    You guys will let just anybody into your country.

    Canada thanks you for taking our cross-border trash.

    *yawn* We all know Trump is in bed with Russia. This is sadly no shock at all and the truly sad part is that Republicans will bend over and let Russia fuck them right in the ass.

  12. I’ll settle for nothing less than capital punishment for the entire trump administration.
