Unfortunatly you're going to have to be more specific because 'Hitler at home' made me think of like at least 4 different people, but I asusme you're annotating the picture of Tucker himself.

“useful idiots” comes to mind, though one might qualify that as “suddenly rich, useful idiots.”

First of all - hilarious sentence.

Second - Tim Pool is the incarnation of useful idiot, no surprise here.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago

Honestly the most surprising thing about Tim Pool being a useful idiot is that someone found him useful.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

He's Joe Rogan without the success

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Is he a useful idiot, or is he just a paid foreign agent?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Hey don’t hate him just because against all odds he managed to be useful to someone

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I dunno US law, but wouldn't accepting money from Russia to propagate the US he some form of light treason.

[–] [email protected] 72 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Amusingly enough, a few days ago, Tim Pool claimed he was going to sue the Harris campaign for defamation for claiming he advocated the death penalty when it turned out that there was a longer version of the video preserved elsewhere that he didn't post to YouTube where he does exactly that- saying he supports it for treason.

Hey now do you even know how much a skate park costs. Or how much a man has to pay to keep in all that beanie drip?!

LOL but seriously yeah I watch that last night dude is full of shit and dead to rights cooked. As Sam put it any lawyer that takes the case that doesn't require payment up front is only getting what he deserves. Old shallow pool doesn't have a leg to stand on in any lawsuit.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Don’t forget, he wears the beanie so no one will recognize him, it’s not at all because he doesn’t want to let folks see his head.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

LOL. If someone hasn't already. He needs to be photoshopped into the Steve Buscemi hello fellow kids meme.

Glad to be of service!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh I thought he just used it as his branding...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Someone snatched it off his head once and he got all mad that . . People would recognize him? I guess?

There’s an episode of some more news about him that touched on it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

LOL but seriously yeah I watch that last night dude is full of shit and dead to rights cooked.

Catch your breath, dude :)

It's legal, but any income over a certain amount from abroad requires you to register. Guess what they never did. Hence why this legal case is happening.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m looking forward to them having to register as foreign agents

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I'm looking forward to jail time for not registering as foreign agents.

In the allegations, the company that paid them lied to them about where the money came from, so they unfortunately have plausible deniability

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Apparently they were googling "time in moscow" when following up on an invoice per Ryan McBeth so they are guilty as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah the company founders are fucked fucked, but the grifters they hired will likely walk away with little impact.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I don't believe them for a second, given the specific nature of their anti-Ukraine propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Lol "plausible"... Why don't we let a jury decide that? Let's hook these traitors up with some charges already.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

We’re gonna need proof of that since I don’t trust any of these jokers to tell the truth. It’ll come out in the trial.

A dim tool with a huge audience and a lot of access to GOP elites.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

The one with the beanie.

"Loser with no personality who doesn't touch grass screams and cries like a baby"

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fun fact: the stupid fucking beanie that Tim Pool wears also doubles as his cumsock.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

it's hair tonic I swear!

Following this bombshell news, video evidence of pro-Russian commentary from Tenet’s personalities has resurfaced, such as the clip above, which appeared on the r/JoeRogan subreddit. The clip appears to show Pool blaming Ukraine for the incursion of Russian military forces into their country before demanding the US “should apologize to Russia.”

This is psychotic. Ukraine is the enemy of this country. Ukraine is our enemy. Being funded by the Democrats, I will stress again, one of the greatest enemies of our nation right now is Ukraine. They are expanding this war. Now, don’t get me wrong. I know you’ve got criminal elements of the US government pushing them and guiding them and telling them what to do. Ukraine is now accused. A German warrant issued for blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline is triggering this conflict. Ukraine is the greatest threat to this nation and to the world. We should rescind all funding and financing, pull out all military support, and we should apologize to Russia.

Morons.

Greatest enemy of all nations is conservatism.

tim pool is a shitlib that repeats CIA propaganda and his statement doesn't even make sense. an enemy of the US? we COUPED THEM IN 2014. they're our puppets. we got them to kill tens of thousands of civilians in the independent republics.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Look, as an enjoyer of American hegemony, I appreciate you thinking the CIA is powerful enough to psyop over 70% of a whole entire country to be in favor of joining the EU, then forcing the president to say "naw fuck that we love Russia," but you're delusional if you think that's actually the case.

Oh and the "independant republics" that somehow pulled russian equipment vehicles and checks notes Soldiers out of their asses to fight for independence. Yeah, totally organic.

Tl;dr: tank elsewhere.
