      Way to go, tough guy! Very easy to be brave behind a keyboard. I bet you’d spill your beans if they threatened to clip your nails.

        No you’re right, we should start cheering for the people who sell out their friends because…checks notes … The opposition is scary…

          They were actually pretty smart if they kept up the appearance of being compliant while no one actually got hurt. I’d say most people wouldn’t be able to keep such a delicate balance. Kudos to her.

      Russian intelligence is pretty famous for the amount of blackmail and extortion they unleash on people that they want to turn into assets.

      What would you have done to resist that?

        Where is the line though?

        What if (yes this is a big what if) Trump was pressured in the same way?

        Where is the line?

          I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. He’d burn down the entire country to avoid a single gut punch if he believed that would save him from getting hurt.
