The New Face of the Putin Plot To Destroy America
Pictured above is Selina Vickers. She's an agent of chaos. Or at least the DNC believes she is.
Selina Vickers’s weekend trip to Rhode Island was as cheap as she could make it. She shelled out $143.60 for a plane ticket from West Virginia to Providence, where the Democratic National Committee’s rules and bylaws group was meeting.She paid $68.07 for an Airbnb in Cranston, a short commute from Providence. Once there, Vickers did what she always did at DNC meetings — she took notes, recorded video and made sure that the party was committing to overhaul its primary rules.
A few days later, Vickers was accused of being a Russia-backed agent of chaos, working to destabilize the Democratic Party from within.
The DNC’s current argument over how to overhaul its primaries process, which has now lasted longer than the United States’ involvement in World War I¹, achieved a special kind of absurdity Monday when longtime DNC member Bob Mulholland asked whether Vickers’s appearances at meetings were paid for by Russians. Mulholland, who often cc’s reporters on his memos about the rules debate, speculated over the weekend that “someone is picking up her expenses” and that this was evidence that “the Putin operation is still active.”
Yes, that photo of Selina Vickers is terrifying. Or not.
And getting rid of superdelegates is the #1 way of undermining America. Or not.
“I concluded someone is picking up her expenses but there she and others are, demanding we change our Rules,” Mulholland wrote. “The Putin operation is still active.”
Contacted by HuffPost on Sunday, Mulholland conceded he had no evidence the woman, who he did not name, was bankrolled by Putin.But he said that “when people show up who have no connection to the party and they show up at events, requiring transportation of hundreds of miles, I always think they’re working for somebody.”
He added, “I’m a big believer that Putin has not let off the gas. Anyone who thinks Putin would not be interfering with future elections needs to have their head examined.”
It appears that when average, working class people participate in Democracy, the political insiders just Freak The Fuck Out!
Earlier Friday, Mulholland sent a separate email to Perez and Ellison in which he compared the push to diminish the clout of superdelegates to the violent suppression of the civil rights movement. In the email, first reported on by The Washington Post, Mulholland affixed a photo of police beating Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) during the 1965 voting rights march in Selma, Alabama.
“Now I understand that the two of you are conspiring with Bernie Sanders to block Congress members John Lewis (see photo of police beating Lewis), Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee and the rest of the congressional delegation, Governors, State Party Chairs and the rest of us DNC Members from entering our Convention floor in 2020 as voters,” he wrote. “I don’t know if you will have paid thugs at the doorways to beat up Congressman Lewis and the rest of us or not.”
Mulholland sounds like a right-wing snowflake.
Selina Vickers was a 2018 Democratic candidate for District 32 of the West Virginia House of Delegates, and missed making the runoff by about 50 votes.

Bob Mulholland is not your run of the mill DNC member.

Seems like Bobby did some election interference with voter reg.

These types of people have gone full dipshit
Of course, I can see his point...in a nation where nearly everyone is broke, due to their overt actions to utterly destroy the wealth of the average person, I can see how he would be mystified at Vickers being able to scrape up $210 bucks; someone just HAD to have given her that money, because nobody (except for their special friends) should have any kind of cash lying around. Yep, had to be a Putin check, drawn against Bank of Russia!
The narrative is full blown stupid at this point.
what a bankrupt party
...and why do we want them in office?

There is no reforming these demonrats...
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
They make McCarthy look decent by comparison.
At least he wasn’t attacking his own party.
Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
When was the last time the Clintons won an election?
2000 for Hillary's senate seat? Why are un-elected people in charge of the Democratic party? The Democratic party needs to either be run democratically or switch names to the Hypocrisy party, although maybe the GOP already has dibs on that name.
Beware the bullshit factories.
It's not just the Clintons who are running the DP
Obama is also working behind the scenes to make sure that the DP doesn't move too far to the left. This is why Perez was installed over Ellison. Totally created by Obama.
Then there's all of the rest of the people who have always worked in the background and deciding on what they are going to do. Getting rid of Pelosi and Schumer is like painting over a moldy wall. The rot needs to be cut out before you can rebuild the wall. Good luck getting this to happen.
There is already a name for them. The Fake Opposition Party
There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?
Ever since Bush-2 Admin.
were supposed to have been officially pried out of office, it's been evident that previous Admin members seem to ever more visibly remain still actively involved in the US government, working together toward that global domination thing.
It initially became noticeable, to me anyway, with mentions being noted of Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest spoken of, here and there, in the corporate media as though, despite being (finally) out of public office, having some right to background-meddle in the US public business, but painfully obvious with the Clintons, Obamas and others among the other clearly corrupt 'permanent insiders', not just of government they may no longer hold any official position in, but of the long-running global web with which they plan to snare and smother a world. Facilitated in great part by their recycling of corrupt officials such as Mueller...

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

Yep, you are correct that the ex government members
are still actively involved in running the government. Albright and her fellow sociopaths are all in the Atlantic Council. Most of the people who wrote the PNAC's goals in the Middle East all withdrew their support for the Republican Party when it was clear that Trump was going to win the nomination. They threw their support behind Herheinous because they knew that she would continue their goals in the Middle East just like Obama did. The only person we haven't heard much from is good ole Dick Cheney, but I'm sure that he isn't resting his tired bones at his ranch in Wyoming.

Maybe Cheney's been too busy
for much of a public spokesperson role, perhaps preferring such as his role as Wormtongue, immediately stepping in to advise the brand-spandy new Trump Admin, Pence certainly initially playing the role of 'Grasshopper' to his mentor, who wishes to emulate as Vice President. Being the hidden source of the
ordersodour behind the Porcelain Throne, so to speak.Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

Fake Opposition Party
The late great Sheldon Wolin called the Democratic Party "The Inauthentic Opposition Party." Pretty good if you ask me. Of course, these days the adjective "fake" is rather trendy, so that's good enough. They are fake and they are inauthentic. In spades.
The Democrates need to change the name of their party
to Insane Clown Posse.
I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.
Primaries...how do they work?
Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
The Democrat Party
used to represent the poor, the sick, the elderly. They protected the working class, the middle class, and the un-employable.
The current Democrat Party should re-name itself The Corporate Party.
And give us our name back.
Forming The New Democrat Party would be a fitting revenge.
IMHO
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
it would have to be called...
the new new democrat party. bill clinton and his evil clown cronies already took the name new democrat to describe their business-friendly, neoliberal takeover of the party.
If you ever needed a better example...
Of the Unofficial American Caste system in practice...
Jesus, I don't even know if I'm writing satire any more. It feels like the truth is so completely insane that stating it is to engage in absurdity of the highest degree.

I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
I'm shocked
that no one is giving the DNC the benefit of the doubt.
Surely Putin is bribing housewives in West Virginia.
And this guy is on the Rules Committee.
And is vehemently anti-Bernie. Good grief.
That a Democrat from WV managed to fund/find her way to RI?
My god!! What will the peasants do next?
Just about says it all with regard to the Dem elites from either coast.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
That's why they keep the peasants broke -
and so insultingly pretend that The Poors can have no agency, existing only to be used by 'their betters', who are Those Worth Something In Real Money.

Paging Dr. Freud...
You quoted Mr. Mulholland:
This is nearly a textbook example of clinical projection
Who are you working for, Mr. Mulholland?
Maybe there is a Democratic Party strategist somewhere working on the next can't miss campaign slogan:
That ought to bring in the Indies and other disaffected Putin Bots (Progressive Dems).
Bet you're right -
but that message will almost certainly have Google Glasses on for improved optics.

Perfect translation
There is undoubtedly
a lot of putin going on, but that smell is not wafting over from Russia, it is home grown, refined and bottle by the DNC.
