Iran, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the dozens of classified documents that are missing that Trump took. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let’s see if that happens.

Iran, if you have the video of Trump being pissed on by hookers in a Russian hotel, post it for the lolz, thanks. The golden shower pee tape is real!

Yeah but I would rather Iran not get access to more nuclear secrets

Imagine if some documents came out this way, and it turns out, that they were among those found at Trump's places.

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

I’m willing to bet if any country has those documents they’re not letting anybody know able it.

I love how Harris and Walz are a thing, but JD isn't even mentioned in the title.

What's the big deal, when Russia did it they didn't care

Do we think they're just remotely watching the hackers' screens as they send phishing emails, shouting at the void 'don't click that' and trying to find a phone number for whoever is in the middle of clicking on it?

I do find it interesting how much press it gets. Especially since Iran is quite capable of hiding their tracks better.

I think the goal of Iran was to get caught, so that if the election is close, one side will accuse the other of the election being stolen through help of Iran.

It might even be Russia or China framing Iran to be honest.

And I think the US is widely sharing this information to beat the war drums and have cause to attack Iran for election interference.

Maybe Iran was using this as a way to blackmail whatever candidate gets elected, and the reason there's so much press is to get ahead of that so their blackmail is useless
