They're accelerating their efforts to spread disinformation and chaos as the US general election on Nov 5th approaches.

Looks like Russian psy-ops is alive and well and helping Trump already, even as he echoes its bullshit.

The Institute for Strategic Dialogue has performed language analysis of Russian media run social accounts and discovered a campaign to foster untruths and criticism of the Biden admin in regard to the FEMA response to Helene and Milton.

These rumors and lies have been picked up by RW and MAGA outlets and amplified by them and of course by Trump, causing a lot of confusion and a breakdown in trust in governmental cohesion and competence.

Whole thing seems like an envy project. Very desperate, sad, pathetic.

Bezos is also looking to buy Boeing's space division.

My sense is Turdmp, threatened Bezos w no govt contracts for space contracts and played him off and Musk off each other.

I further think Turdmp wanted a full endorsement from WaPo and the best Bezos could do was, not endorse either him or Harris...

Nice "WIN" there Jeffrey. Way to go... the WaPo is a pathetic husk of its former self now.

Via the Guardian, and multiple NEWS orgs.

"... within hours (of the WaPo announcement of not endorsing a Pres candidate), high-ranking officials of the latter company (Bezos Blue Origin) briefly met with Trump after a campaign speech in Austin, Texas,

Trump met with Blue Origin chief executive officer David Limp and vice-president of government relations Megan Mitchell, the Associated Press reported.

CBS Sunday Morning •
Jake Tapper and JD Vance spar over John Kelly.

This is a level of lies and gaslighting that's so noxious. Couch-Nazi has a whole new tone of aggressive despicable bullshit.

Tapper to his credit sticks with it and goes blow for blow with Couch-Fucker's brutal avalanche.

They've come up with a justification for every single aspect of Turdmp that makes him unfit.
