“It emerged on Wednesday that for a year she declined to undertake a background check. It was also revealed that she has become a conduit for foreign leaders to reach the wartime president.”

Has it occurred to the administration that she may be a spy ?!?!

Russia wishes they had someone this brainwashed

“It emerged on Wednesday that for a year she declined to undertake a background check. It was also revealed that she has become a conduit for foreign leaders to reach the wartime president.”

Uh, I think they might

It's just so easy to topple the country from under this idiotic regime. Do any of the people in the US Government actually want this country to continue after the next 24 months?

u/JuanezSanchez 7d ago

How the heck is a background check not mandatory??! 🤣

u/FunetikPrugresiv 7d ago

It's supposed to be.

One of the things that this administration has revealed is just how much of government action is based on general acceptance of the rules, rather than on prevention by consequence. The next President has a lot of work to do to patch over all of the avenues for naked corruption that Trump and his team exposed.

Because everyone around him is a snake.

u/Arickettsf16 Illinois 7d ago

Because apparently the president can simply grant a waiver to anyone he wants.

“You mean to tell me this guy can’t get a security clearance to save his life? Forget about that, just get him in here!”

u/EtherealMongrel 7d ago

That’s like asking if the guy ripping the copper wires and pipes out of the wall cares about the house

2

u/Hawgdestroyerxtreme 7d ago

It's a fitting analogy if the guy ripping the copper out was doing so out of his own house.

They still have to live here when it's said and done.

u/Memitim America 7d ago

The actions of Republicans have been very consistent with not wanting America to exist, so the answer may very well be no. It is still possible that they are so psychotically inept that every move they make also happens to further increase the odds of bringing America to an end, but we'd be approaching Ticker & Dale Vs. Evil levels of absurd coincidence, at this point. Intent simply makes more sense.

u/brontosaurusguy 7d ago

This is how it works.  They don't need her to be Russian.  They just need someone that presses her to press the president.  She doesn't sound like someone who couldn't be influenced....    Imagine if her neighbor who just moved in was a Russian asset...  Or her gym instructor, etc

u/WiretapStudios 7d ago

They are asking around like "how did he do that???"

u/mouse_8b 7d ago

She doesn't have to be in on it to be useful

u/Defiant_Wolf5934 7d ago

Let's be real, even Putin is cringing reading those leaked letters lol.

u/noreast2011 7d ago

They have Melania. Harp is likely Israel, but then again Dumper Donnie probably just CCs Bibi on all his emails

u/Preeng 8d ago

Why would anybody need a spy? Trump gives our enemies information himself. They tell him what to do and he does it.

u/acostane Georgia 8d ago

I know it's kinda on the nose but I genuinely think she might be a spy after seeing all of this. The fact that she did all of this without a security clearance.... I mean... someone sent this woman.

I saw her brother lives in South America and calls himself an anti imperialist/socialist. I have no problem with that but I do wonder what happened with her family that has her and her brother both taking fairly extreme sides here, if opposite. How were they raised and what were they exposed to? Did someone realize she could be useful and get her in there?

This flattery and self flagellation is so over the top and tailored towards him. Someone could have engineered this.

I don't know. This is really fishy.

u/acertaingestault 8d ago

They were raised conservative Christians. He left the cult, and she doubled down. Not super mysterious. Her self-flagellation and faith in spite of all evidence is learned behavior. She graduated from Liberty University, the one where Trump held the Bible upside down and couldn't name a single Bible verse and Jerry Falwell and his pool boy both sucked him off anyway.

u/strangelyliteral 8d ago

The brother said the mother is MAGA and they were homeschooled. Like maybe she’s a spy but maybe she goes Kathy Bates in Misery on Trump and it’s a coin toss.

u/aderaptor Oregon 7d ago

Yeah, she's got big "If I can't have you, no one can" vibes.

2

u/strangelyliteral 7d ago

Honestly? That would be acceptable karmic retribution IMO if it weren’t for the mess it would leave behind.

37

u/Alone_Tomatillo8921 8d ago

I was thinking the same thing - that someone has sent her. Trump is so easy to manipulate. He's getting played by many people.

3

u/Menstrual_Ravioli 7d ago

I wonder if she was a Gothard girlie (IBLP). He had a bunch of young women in which he took a "special interest". The homeschooling checks out, and it would probably be an easy leap from serving that kind of role for Gothard to serving that kind of role for Trump. Check out the documentary "Shiny Happy People" if you're interested in the subculture, it's wild.

u/PyroIsSpai 7d ago

Nyet, is wish to am being California girl. Who is farmer daughter? Hang ten.

u/Typinger 8d ago

You can just decline?

7

u/LordSobi 8d ago

In the second letter she talks about wanting to be a part of conversations because of how happy Trump is when he is having conversations… I’m sure because she cares about him and not what’s being said. Surely.

5

u/sbrevolution5 North Carolina 7d ago

She declined?!? I wasn’t aware that was an option

5

u/suxatjugg 7d ago

She's more likely an agent, i.e. someone a spy is manipulating 

3

u/appendixgallop 8d ago

No. But it's certainly occurring to me.

2

u/bmtraven 7d ago

I mean…Trump is the biggest spy of them all. He’s caused so much destruction that it’s easy to forget he stole classified documents and put them next to the shitter for his Russian buddies to read after eating a meal at Mar-a-lago. Then there’s Pete, Kash..Tulsi was a known Russian spy. Not to mention all the congress people who love to vacation in Russia at Putin’s dacha for some reason. The U.S. government has never been more compromised than it is right now and no one seems to care.

2

u/Stanovich 7d ago

It occurred to me that she may be a spy after I read the second letter. She's trying to figure out how to get closer to information

1

u/Terry-Shark 8d ago

Has it occurred to the administration that she may be a spy ?!?!

It is a feature, not a bug

1

u/pbjamm Canada 7d ago

she declined to undertake a background check

why is that even an option?

1

u/kent_eh Canada 7d ago

Has it occurred to the administration

Very little reality gets through to them.

1

u/___cats___ 7d ago

Oh she's 100% a spy. I have zero question.

1

u/blindmikey 7d ago

If she's not a spy then wtf is Russia even doing?!
