“coup” from the beginning. It has been “collaboration”, not “collusion” for well over a year now. “Oligarchs” are “mobsters”, period. Oh, and “meddling” - yeah, okay (oy).

A tweeter last night referred to this country’s current regime as a “mobocracy” last night. YUP.

I’ll never ever connect all the dots, I haven’t the brain for it, but I gather it goes something like “Mogilevich - Putin - Trump” - murderers all. One way or another.

Also, the solidarity of gopees made so much more sense to me when someone said recently, hey: The MOB throws some cash your way. The MOB gets some juicy kompromat on you. You’re pretty screwed, eh? And if you push back, has the MOB ever had any qualms about threatening you or your family with physical harm or nah?

I posted on this idea that collaborators’ families might be in serious physical jeopardy, and was told that it was most likely not a possibility, that cash and kompromat - plus the fact that these are just Republicans behaving like Republicans - would explain their complicity...but for me, it just FELT “right”...it explains, for me, the rabid, drooling URGENCY the gopees seem to express at every turn...

But hey, that’s just me.

Sorry for running on...I shall not rant on this ever again!!

Anyway, to repeat my response to your OP:

YES
