As any Trump flunky will tell you: It's easier to constantly lie than it is to have to constantly debunk your lies.

Sure it is. I bait you all the time comrade, when I'm not ignoring you. Now, it's time to start reminding people of all the russian ties. Not just the Trump Tower meeting.


Jared Kushner gave a confusing explanation for his alleged 'back channel' plan with Russia

President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, denied in a statement Monday that he suggested setting up a "back channel" communication line to the Kremlin that would bypass US intelligence agencies and persist after Trump was inaugurated.

I ignored your silly post for a year, and now looking back, what have we found ?

What ' interference ' did the Russians actually do to our election ? To date, nothing. Oh, they " may have " tried , but functionally , there's nothing to show that their actions had 1 iotas worth of impact on who voted for either candidate.

Nothing.

Patton wanted to drive through Berlin and not stop until he reached Moscow. He never trusted the Russian govt. So how is it a shock to anyone that a former KGB man like Putin would change his spots ? Point is, this is nothing new ! Been going on for 70+ years.

She LOST. Get over it.



Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has led to the indictments of 31 people and three companies — that we know of so far.

That group is composed of four former Trump advisers, 26 Russian nationals rappy with much more to come. Still think it's much ado about nothing? As I've said, Patton would roll over in his grave reading what your opinion of all this is.

New leak reveals that Julian Assange sought Russian visa in 2010

LONDON – A new cache of internal WikiLeaks files shows the radical transparency organization’s staffers discussed having founder Julian Assange skip bail and escape from Britain as authorities closed in on him in 2010.
One of the documents obtained by The Associated Press captures supporters considering a potential Brazilian asylum claim; another has Assange discreetly seeking a Russian visa in London.

The files provide both an intimate look at WikiLeaks and an early hint of Assange’s budding relationship with Moscow.

We Now Know More About the Apparent Poisoning of the Pussy Riot Member Pyotr Verzilov

he-apparent-poisoning-of-the-pussy-riot-member-pyotr-verzilov


New details have emerged in the apparent poisoning of Russian activist Pyotr Verzilov, a member of the protest-art group Pussy Riot, and they may shed light on the deaths of three Russian journalists who were shot in the Central African Republic in July. Verzilov had apparently been working with the journalists before they travelled to Africa, and before he fell ill he’d been investigating their deaths, which the Russian government said had occurred as a result of a robbery.

Verzilov, who is thirty, fell ill on September 11th. In the course of several hours, he lost his eyesight and his ability to speak, became delirious, and lost consciousness. He was hospitalized in Moscow in critical condition. Four days later, after he had stabilized, Verzilov was flown to Berlin, where he is now being treated at Charité hospital. On Tuesday, members of his German medical team held a press conference, during which they confirmed that Verzilov had probably been poisoned. He is recovering, but still hallucinating."

Ol' Pooty. Such a great guy!

I hope all the GOPniks who have pledged their allegiance to Dear Leader Putin look at this and see their own futures.

Russia can't "upend" Western democracy because our very own oligarchy and security state got to it first.

Oh, you gonna round up everyone that disagrees with you and stand 'em up against the wall?

Nuke Russia?

You're a bigger threat to democracy than Russia ever will be.

Here's a hint, THUGR: Russia can't "upend" our democracy, but we can manage to do for them if we react like idiots. YOU definitely seem to be heading in that direction!

What a stupid shit.
