Have to give this X account some credit: It’s the one bit of Russian government propaganda that is overt and obvious.

This, from today’s DOJ indictment of the alleged masterminds of a covert Russian effort to influence the U.S. election, indicates that one of Tucker Carlson’s pro-Kremlin videos just wasn’t subtle enough for Team Russia.

Re-watched the magnificent “Jaws” (still magnificent) but was struck by one odd plot point: Why would Quint take Chief Brody and Matt Hooper on the shark hunt? Quint mistrusted authority (Brody) and hated the rich kid (Hooper). Plus, Brody wasn’t a sailor and hated the water.

Must agree. Surely there’s a better, fairer, more accurate, non-partisan and non-speculative way to render this response that would convey what actually occurred.
