Can't fake the tweet

FWIW, that's Russian Kirov-class battlecruiser Pyotr Velikiy. Turns out, it's a stock photo that was never properly labeled.

Way back at the beginning of the Trump campaign, they tweeted out a patriotic collage that included various military images, only the soldiers were actually 1940s Wehrmacht.

In retrospect, I think they were trying to tell us something.

That’s my congressman.

He’s tough to get a handle on. I’ve met him multiple times, and I believe deep down he is a good person. He’s an Army vet, he has fought hard on local issues, and has a lot of bipartisan support because of it. And after Parkland he quickly came out in support of an assault weapons ban. But on every other issue, he is in lockstep with the Republican Party.

I’m sure this is a mistake. Probably one made by a staffer. But he’s been tied to Russian election interference in the past, so...

Not a mistake. He's obviously f-ing with the squids.
