Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, September 17, 2024

In March 2023 I interviewed a strange man named Ryan Routh. We had been introduced by a source inside Ukraine's foreign legion, a military unit composed of foreign volunteers from more than fifty countries all over the world. Routh, a 58-year-old former roofing contractor from Greensboro, NC, who had no military experience, had set up a private organization in Kiev that helped connect international fighters with Ukraine's military units and aid groups. And he made his way into my story about U.S.-trained Afghan commandos eager to join Ukraine's war effort.

Rut roh! Did I hit a functional neuron?

So ... When I call out you riggers for rigging elections it's racist now? Stop your party from trying to rig elections and maybe you won't feel so guilty.

I can barely read the article due to the stupid popups that take up over half the screen on my phone.

The part I wanted to quote about tolerating the "right" kind of crazy for causes people agree with clearly applies all across the political spectrum.

Obviously, after he declares martial law and issues an executive order that he can stay in power indefinitely and rule by decree.

#7,,he doesn't need to do all of that other stuff to issue a pardon.

That power is enumerated in the constitution. I can link it for you if you are uncertain.

Pardoning murders and attempted murders is a Republican thing.

Ask Trump and the Texas governor.

But it's cute that you are stupid enough to ask.

It really is a beautiful play on words is it not?

It really draws the racists (like you ) out from under the rocks doesn't it? They THINK they know exactly what I meant.

Wink wink nudge nudge..

Just because one has a "power" doesn't mean you HAVE to use it. And no one can make them use it.

For example you have the right to remained silent. But you just won't use it. And no one can make you use it either!

At least give credit to those who came up with it (ERB).

Why Did Journalists Like Me Take Ryan Routh Seriously?

I'll be happy to answer that question for this befuddled journalist:

It is because you are an idiot.

True, but if you're gonna peddle cynical conspiracy theories, why be half-assed about it?

???? I came up with it independently. Don't even know what an "ERB" is. But whatever bro. Still a nice play on words. Whoever thought it first.

This guy actually packed up and went to Ukraine. Of course journalists would want to talk to him about it but if you're not there you don't know what's -------- or not until you yourself go to Ukraine and start talking to the people that deal with them.
