Guess who else is a Putin Puppet? Bernie and Jill

That didn't take long. It seems that everyone was a Putin Puppet except for establishment candidates.
Today's NY Times headline: Trump’s Conspicuous Silence Leaves a Struggle Against Russia Without a Leader
Today's Politico headline: Sanders silent on claim that Russians backed him in 2016
You see! If Sanders wasn't in the pocket of Putin he would immediately apologize for his treason. Proof! They're the same!
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders declined to directly address Friday's revelation that Russian actors sought to boost his presidential primary campaign and sink Hillary Clinton's in 2016, instead insisting that the special counsel’s investigation proceed unimpeded.
The indictment revealed that the efforts included “operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald Trump.”
Russian “specialists were instructed to post content that focused on ‘politics in the USA’ and to ‘use any opportunity to criticize Hillary and the rest (except Sanders and Trump—we support them.),’” the indictment continued.
Wait a second. Something is missing. Could it be that Politico is covering up for an even more devious crime?
On or about Nov. 3, 2016, just five days before the election, the Russians tried to boost Stein’s campaign by buying an ad to post on the Instagram account “Blacktivisit,” according to the indictment. The ad read in part: “Choose peace and vote for Jill Stein. Trust me, it’s not a wasted vote.”
Why didn't Politico mention Stein's treason? Could it be that Politico is a Putin Puppet too?
Just how deep does this konspiracy go?

A "struggle against Russia" ?
I still don't understand why we need a struggle against Russia but I'm pretty sure that this will morph into a struggle against progressives. You watch, Medicare for All will turn out to be a Russian plot.
We wanted decent healthcare, a living wage and free college.
The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.

Russian Trolls Stoked Anger Over Black Lives Matter More Than Was Previously Known
As Trump and Clinton battled, Kremlin operatives duped the left, the right—and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/01/russian-trolls-hyped-anger-...
The article sites soem research from University of Washington that puts a "statisical patina" on claiming Russian badness over BLM.
http://faculty.washington.edu/kstarbi/examining-trolls-polarization.pdf
Many assumptions made about the data which make it very weak, but look at the bottom of the paper--partially funded by Office of Naval Research. Good lord.
@MrWebster
The 'disinformation' claims apparently relate to the mere mention of BLM, which seems to indicate that the very idea of Black Lives Mattering is considered 'disinformation' by the McCatharyists. Because in their view, it's evidently UnAmerican to consider that the lives of any fellow-Americans who happen to be Black could possibly matter. And this interesting theory is carried by once-reputable media such as Mother Jones, even if it did abandon all principle with the corruption of Corn, writing pro-Monsanto articles.
Made me too nauseous to do more than skim much of it, but the sick lunacy, it burns... how do any people manage to swallow this racist, psychopathic, senseless nonsense?
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
The Plan
More to the point, this has been the plan since 11:55pm of November 7th, 2016.
One does not have to do too much of The Googling to find hit pieces like this one at the incipient stage of the "struggle against progressives". They're running a year long Pavlovian-like campaign to get folks to think Putin/Russia whenever they hear Sanders/Progressive/Stein.
Common, garden variety dissent from the left is being propagandized as Russian Propaganda.
Nice work, if you can get it.

One of the comments on the politico article
said that Bernie took millions in donations from foreign governments. I wanted to reply that it was actually Hillary who received the millions from foreign governments when she was Secretary of State. But I guess that's okay for them, just like her Correct the Record bots were.
Why is it that so many can ignore the pay-to-play politics
of T.CC and Slick? Or the sleazy way they operated the family slush fund? Or the say they lied (and got caught) claiming their speaking fees were slush fund donations?
I cannot figure that out.
You would have been roasted and raked over the coals for bring that up.

Tribal emotions
or "Team Blue" behavior explains it. Jimmy Dore keeps saying Trump excites Dems' lizard brains (limbic system) and they've tossed aside their critical thinking skills. It's all about their emotions and "winning."
Having been at TOS since 2006, I'd say persistent lefties also cause them to freak the fuck out. They've been defending feckless Dems in Congress (remember Sen Reid's magical dry powder), Obama, then Hillary since the beginning of political blogging. It's a reflex for them.
I don't think they'll ever admit to themselves how deep they're in it.

Pity we can't record
The conference calls these assholes make to one another to make sure they're all on the same page. I'm sure they'd be very instructive. In fact I'd be stunned if the media outlets that pass for journalism these days didn't have such a conference call right before Mueller came out with the "13 indictments".
Ya gotta hand it to 'em, they sure know how to capitalize on the latest "Russia" narrative to protect their own interests, don't they?

It is well past the time that Trump finally stands up
and proves to the American people that he did not collude with Russia. He has had a year and a half but he still stubbornly refuses to give concrete evidence that his snout was not firmly up Putin's anus while running for president.
How long is this charade going to continue? I suggest Trump be given a final ultimatum to either come up with sufficient proof of his innocence or be impeached and hung as a traitor at the next full moon.
At least the illegal witch hunt against Hillary has finally been put to rest. Anyone with any intelligence knows she has never willfully done anything wrong or immoral in her entire life. When Trump is finally convicted, Hillary should automatically be made Madam President because she is not only deserving of this honor, she is entitled to it.
We have to give thanks to Mr. Mueller for putting the focus back on the true criminal here.

Still no mention of Hillary's Correct the Record bots
Why is that? Could it be because it was barely legal for them to do that? Why yes I think that is why people don't want too much attention brought to it.
Not sure what else Bernie is supposed to say about this accusation, but he's fully vested with the Russian interference propaganda.
Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, exactly how did anyone in Russia get one person here to change their minds and vote for someone who they weren't planning on voting for? In other words Bernie, where is the damn proof?
The idea that Russia messed with our social issues is pretty damn funny. I think that with the number of people who cops shoot, our social issues are pretty fucked up as they are.
The comments on this are very funny, but sad.
Not even barely legal...
to post kiddie porn on Bernie Facebook sites to shut them down the night before the Pennsylvania primary.
So why exactly isn't Mueller indicting Casey Champagne?
Not Russian enough I guess.
The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?
Jeeze, I forgot about all that. You need a scorecard for all
the unethical ir actually illegal stuff TCC & Co. pulled. Actually one probably wouldn’t be enough.

Putin charge will be used against Bernie over and over and over.
You can just see it now. Some CNN shill asking Bernie what it feels like to be Putin's preferred candidate. Even worse attacks on Bernie supporters for being Putin callabors and Putin puppets. Racist women gay hating Putin puppets at that.
Biden shills: Putin fears me and loves Bernie. It is starting now on TOP: the finally purging of Bernie supporters. There are Russians behind every noun and verb against Hillary.
Bernie was immune to charges of Russian collaboration pretty nuch until after the election. The Huffingtonpost among major sites had an article basically claiming the Bernie supporters were stooge victims of Putin. The Russian net was being thrown wide and deep.
Pretty sad, isn't it?
And they call us nuts, Russian bots and other names.
(waves hello)
Hey guys, you're being played.
I hope they keep it up. Insulting Sanders supporters and
spreading the insult that we were too stupid to know why we voted the way we did wiil not help them ‘win friends or influence people’ and get them to cross over to the Dark Side.
BTW, has it struck anybody else that TCC valudates The Peter Principle? She definitely found her own level of incompetence.

I think that's why they support her
They are stuck in the present and only listened to what she was telling them and they refused to look at her past actions. Even when we pointed them out to them, they refused to believe it. I left a few comments with links to reputable sources about what she did to Libya and I was called delusional and other names. When I posted a photo of Trump with her and Bill, I was told that was taken years ago and it's not a valid point. But they post that one photo of Jill sitting with Putin and for them it's evidence that she is Putin's puppet.
BTW, we only left the site because kos wouldn't let us post anything about Bernie. Funny, that's not how I remember it. We were told that we couldn't post anything about Herheinous if it made her look bad. Even if it was the truth. I love it when people rewrite history.

I loved that book. Bought it when it first
came out.
I keep my books. I have books in the attic, in the basement, in a big clothes closet upstairs and my cedar closet, in the front hall., and in my bedroom. My books (and vinyl albums) are my most prized possessions. I looked for my copy of The Peter Principle about 6 months ago and its gone so now I’m scouring the used book stored for another copy..(I love usef book stores.)
It was a great book and a fantastic read.

Right! Russia made us not like her
Good grief, I've had a problem with her politics ever since Bill was president and they passed welfare reform and all the other shitty legislation. Then she became SOS and got more blood on her hands and used her position to fund her fraudulent foundation.
Of course it was the Russians who made me feel this way. Gawd, people are stupid.
Tribal behavior turned up to 11
Jimmy Dore keeps pointing out that Trump activates Dems' lizard brains and they toss away their critical thinking skills. Anything for a Team Blue win.
It's pretty scary to see the entire Dem establishment marching us to 1) purges and 2) conflict with Russia.
Strap in.
JVolvo2
Strap in, indeed
People are coming apart from the Russian propaganda crap and they are believing in more conspiracy every day. They hear or read something someone else says and they repeat them verbatim. They still believe that all 17 intelligence agencies agree that Russia interfered with the election even though it was only 3 people who were selected by Clapper. They also believe that Russia hacked Vermont's electrical grid and a state's voting machine as well as the GOP, the NRA and others are laundering money for Putin. Go figure.
Correx snoopydawg: 3 agencies, not 3 people!
Clapper as DNI hand-picked the analysts from 3 agencies, it was more than literally 3 people. Jimmy D has a video on this, too. It took NYTimes 2 months after Clapper testimony where he stated 3-not-all-17-agencies to "correct" their record. Of course, they only attached a note at the bottom of their months-old red-baiting article, not a full blown correx at all.
Amen to all the rest: Putin Hacked US Energy Grid!! Putin Hacked Voting Machines! Facebook ads turned the election!!1

Projection.
Since Hillary has now been exposed as having rigged the primary process from the very top, it's silly how they are talking about how much Russia is destroying the integrity of our election process.
It's called projection, and should be ridiculed at every turn.

Hillary's campaign broke so many campaign laws
In addition to using Correct the Record to have hired people going on to websites and inputting what they had been told to what she did with the DNC by controlling where the money went.
It was illegal for one candidate to have total control over the organization that was in charge of the primary.
This is basically money laundering.
I think that this is up for debate and this should be investigated.
If one has to cheat to win, what does that say about the candidate?
That’s rxactly what HFA was
doing. It was money laundering! But the Clintons are experts. Take the family slush fund for instance.
