I'm no expert but the caption says Su-24. Looks right- see wiki. Old but in wide service. Flown by the Russians, Ukrainians, and Syrians.

Yeah I'm watching Last Week Tonight from February 12th and it feels like it is a year old.

I didn't really have any such knowledge prior to seeing the tweet. I got curious and looked it up.

Gd Maverickov and Gooseovich

One of the things I was wondering was whether or not it could have been a Syrian jet.

Su-24 and Mig-23 are very similar and both derived from the same prototype.

Su-24 is pretty old, but yeah, Russia is still flying them.

One of my favorite things is when people flat out admit they know nothing about Russia or Geopolitics in the form of goofy questions.

Lol i would give anything to hear trump ask Putin that

cant find that link

This story

The problem is that the contacts were made before he was President.

Yeah. If the bribery and extortion is 100% bull**** (lol) it's still illegal for very good reasons, and it's because he wasn't President yet.

Russian attempts to influence the election highlight some of why it's illegal, unethical, maybe even immoral

Yep, me too. Just bask in the knowledge that Hannity is one of the biggest single-minded morons on the planet. It helps some.

Whatever happened to Katrina Pierson? just wondering

Unintended consequences on tourism.

Trump tweeting again....

Has he seen Oliver's add yet?

Thanks for the link. I guess I misunderstood max it seemed like he was saying that Obama wanted to make a bipartisan announcement of what was coming out now and didn't announce at all because he couldn't get bipartisan support

Bottom line is that I think Trump is compromised just like you guys all do. But something doesn't make sense here. There are two theories being floated here as fact and neither of them make much logical sense.

1)Obama wouldn't harm democracy and instead let a known Russian operative become president. Already discussed ad nauseum why this makes little sense.

2)Now you guys pivot to they aren't blowing the lid off of it because they don't want to blow their cover in order to continue to gather evidence. Um the news stories all say Trump has known about this for weeks. Obama announced sanctions in December for interference. So no this can't be what is going on either. It reeks of someone who watched too much Homeland or something to trot this one out there.

3)Russians were the only ones under surveillance so that's why there is no direct evidence on Trump. Well no that's not right either as someone pointed out above with warrants for surveillance on the Trump campaign in October apparantly. Not to mention we are all under surveillance for "national security".

yeah, no

Confirmed shook.

He has no defense so he's just going back to his most popular campaign talking points/slogans. Crooked Hillary, liberal media bias. Expect something about waaaah I'm just trying to #MAGA by saving us from Radical Islamic Terrorists soon. The man is fully incompetent.

Trump confirmed shook.

Classic deflecting to Hillary.


Edit: And getting ponied by Kafja.

Trump needs a refresher on the proper use of hyphens.

He's literally going through every news channel desperately trying to find something to defend himself with.

Doesn't he have actual work to do?

He spends more time online than I do and I'm a student that's trying to find excuses to not work on my dissertation!
