@EdMass seen or talked to a Russian, located Russia on a map, drank a White Russian, or watched Dr. Zhivago, all are suspects, no exceptions.

Hell, EdMass and GJohn, you're suspects too!

If anybody needs me, I'll be having my lunch of black bread, borscht and caviar.

No good will ever come of it.

You can't unsee it. You can't undo it.

Actually, Moscow is a pretty cool city (been there) as long as one minds and keeps ones white US Privileged shit in their suitcase. Yes, they will open it and look. But they just did the same to me in Burlington, VT.

Bernie. Commie Rat Bastard.

Whatabout that Wife of his and their new Super Pac. Huh. Huh. Huh.

Shilary and Pervo Biden can have Super Pacs. But not that Democratic Socialist Rat Bastard.

A toast. To Rat Bastards!

@on the cusp

booked for next year.
I will buy a Putin tee shirt, as it would be a conversation starter.

@CB for exactly that, honey = yellow, moon = night, a night with Russian hookers.

Most of DC has been compromised now by the sweet siren song of Russian urine. It must be true, I read it at TOP.

golden showers when he went to the Soviet Union in 1988. It is obvious that there was something devious going on here. Who in their right mind spends their 'honeymoon' in the Soviet Union?

I'll bet that it was Putin himself who took video kompromat of Bernie cavorting with three Russian hookers while Jane was out sightseeing. We all know that when it comes to golden showers, Russian whores are second to none and very hard to resist.

@Big Al It might not be a good deal, but it's the only thing standing in the way of what the CIA wants to do in Iran, other than the Russian military. How do I know? They've been sabotaging it from the get-go.

Russian sanctions according to the article, but objected to the Iran sanctions because of the fake Iran nuclear deal which he's never admitted is fake.

@CB but incumbency has been killing us for a very long time.

push for more Russian sanctions. That fuck-wit's dementia is getting worse by the day. I think he suffers from flashbacks to the time he vacationed at the Hanoi Hilton.

Degenerate Grandpa John McCain Can't Stop Fantasizing About Russian Hackers

"The truth is, Russia has no more attacked American democracy than did the North Vietnamese at the Bay of Tonkin or the Spaniards on the Battleship Maine in 1898.

More importantly, no one else in the world thinks Russia is a serious threat – except the bureaucrats of NATO who make a living concocting such threats."
...
The American people are being brought to ruin by three institutions that are mortal threats to liberty and prosperity.

To wit, the Federal Reserve, the military/industrial/surveillance complex and a sinecured Congress that is burying unborn generations in debt – even as it sanctimoniously presumes that it is doing god’s work by servicing the beltway racketeers who keep it perpetually in office.

On the latter score, it is worth reminding once again. An incumbent House member standing for reelection has a smaller chance of losing his seat than did a Politburo member during the heyday of the postwar Soviet Union.

So it is no wonder that the Congress is filled by Warfare State lifers like Senator John McCain. This senile old fool appears to believe that he is some kind of latter day proconsul of the American Empire – who struts around Washington spreading bellicose lies and flagrant exaggerations about Washington’s self-created enemies.

So doing, McCain helps to keep the Imperial City in thrall to the defense contractors and military and intelligence bureaucracies that he champions out of sheer will to power and ornery bloodlust.

@The Voice In the Wilderness
American puppet Yeltsin did not bring democracy to Russia. He brought graft, corruption and the rise of the oligarchs and almost destroyed the country. The death rate skyrocketed, 90% of the wealth of the country was stolen and half the population lived in rank poverty.

Trying to revive the Cold War over nothing.

I hate Putin for destroying Russian democracy, but sanctions over nothing? Bullshit. And bullshit to Bernie for saying he would vote yes if Russia was alone on the bill.

@The Voice In the Wilderness It's not your country that's doing it. It's the crazypants elites.

@MrWebster and so is the Progressive Left. In other words, the only group that hasn't been implicated is Hillary supporters, yet Podesta himself has had financial dealings with Russia, specifically a venture capital fund associated with Putin himself.

We are truly all Russians now.

Except possibly John McCain.

I always believed that if Hillary won the election, she would have purged the party of any leftists to prevent any more insurgencies. I think this is why she picked Kaine rather than a Hispanic or African American VP as he feared they could upstage her within the party and a threat to the Clintonistas.

But looks like the purge is still on and succeeding. The current power structure of the DNC does not have anybody who supported Sanders during the primaries. Neither does Congressional leadership. All the Obama/Clinton rich donors and left over organizational lackies are still in place.

And in the media you get people like Jennifer Palmieri, who seems to get access to major media anytime she wants, trying to de-legitimatize left policy positions such as $15/hr min. wage. NYTimes links Sander "bernie bros" to the shooter in DC, and on and on.

At this point, the left in the democratic party has no organization power at all. The only power is the popularity of its policies as articulated by Sanders. And that seems to be the last and probably most difficult to purge.

For the longest time, Bernie and supporters were not intertwined with "Russia-gate" accusations until really just recently. The first I saw was in Huffington in an article that basically accused Sander supporters of falling for Russian fake news. The article was a total smear of garbage journalism. BTW one of the writers of the article has joined TYT and off all places The Intercept (Ryan Grim).

So yah, expect the club of Russiagate McCarthyism to be used on Bernie and his supporters.

@MrWebster
in DC. Yes they are staying so their younger daughter can finish school, but the other reasons are to make sure that the DP doesn't move to far to the left and to protect his legacy. Such as it is. I frankly don't see anything he should be proud of, unless it's the Lily Ledbetter bill

@MrWebster

(former Prez of CWA) are all involved with Tom Perez and Chuck Schumer in reorganizing the DNC. I have posted several pieces about this over the past couple months.

Also, Bernie is part of the Senate Dem Leadership--he's the 'Chair Of Outreach.'

Here's an excerpt about Perez demanding the resignations of the DNC staffers after his appointment.

Embattled DNC Asks All Staffers For Resignation Letters
by ALEX SEITZ-WALD

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez has launched a major overhaul of the party's organization, which has been stung by recent crises — and the DNC has requested resignation letters from all current staffers. . . .

Sanders said Wednesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the DNC "absolutely" needed to be overhauled.

"Clearly, the Democratic Party needs a top-down overhaul," Sanders said. "And that top down overhaul means that instead of becoming dependent and being dependent on big money interests for campaign contributions, it has got to become a grassroots party." . . .

Perez has spent his first weeks on the job in “active listening mode,” hearing from Democrats in Washington and in small group meetings across the country before making any big moves. . . .

Earlier this month, Perez held a meeting to discuss the issue with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sanders, both of whom supported Rep. Keith Ellison in the DNC chair race.

Schumer, pointing to Ellison and Sanders, told Perez, "If he's happy, and if he's happy, then I'm happy,” according to two sources.

Ellison's political director has also been helping to oversee staffing decisions in some key departments in the DNC, according to several sources.

Also, in spite of the Dem Party Charter not allowing for a Deputy Party Chair (according to this piece), both the DNC website and the DNC Wikipedia entry show Ellison as the 'Deputy Chair.'

Have a good one!

@orlbucfan

Bulgakov's The Master (Satan) and Margarita. Does that qualify me to be a Putin groupie? Plus, I love music by Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky! Oh, the HORRORS!!! The DNC is one crooked Demented Nutcase Camp! Rec'd!!

@dervish
maybe. Or have they already? Probably they have.

to cure this Russian Derangement Syndrome? I thought a little time would likely take care of it, but the usual suspects keep throwing out dribs and drabs of hints and innuendo, dragging this thing out as long as possible.

The way it's going, this may go on for years.
