Anyone else noticed tankies seem to have gotten quieter as well?

Remarkable, isn't it
No.. but that is probably because I have collected a small list of the most active halfwhits in my blocklist.
I hope more of them get called out.
I also hope they have to pay back their "earnings".
$100.000 a week? Throw them in prison.
It's funny how fox and right wing news cherry picks the info they say the DOJ is calling Russian propaganda while saying that this is clamping down on free speech.
We don't care that these people are saying inflation isn't great and people are struggling fiscally...we care that they're blasting out the message that "Ukraine is the enemy" and "we should apologize to Russia". It also looks like they've been pushing weird Kamala sex stuff lies too. It's a classic lie sandwich, a lie told between two "truths".
[Tim] Pool said on his podcast that he’s been contacted by federal authorities and plans to provide a voluntary interview.
Of course, the first rat to jump off the ship and into the federal lifeboat is Tim Pool. Not even slightly surprised.
From here, it'll be a race to give statements and turn on each other as all the best deals get made to the earliest and most thorough cooperators.
Charlie is not an activist, he is a radical. More accurately, he is a terrorist who bussed other terrorists to attack the Capitol on January 6th.
He's a terrorist that our government has declined to prosecute.
Traitor.
They engaged in treason. The word is traitor.
Unprosecuted is the word I fixate on
The standard response is: the DOJ must be lying. MAGA is particularly susceptible to misinformation at this point, so for many, that claim may be enough.
