Those darn Rooskies are stealin' our democracy again!
Boris and Natasha are at it again, but the Dems are determined to stop them this time.
#1 Rahm Emanuel: “Putin and Trump are picking their opponent.”
#2 Joe Biden: “The Russians don’t want me to be the nominee,” Biden said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” later adding, “they like Bernie.”
#3 James Carville: “Right now, it’s about 1:15 Moscow time. This thing is going very well for Vladimir Putin. I promise you. He’s probably staying up watching this right now. How you doing, Vlad?”
Dontcha know that this attack is totally real and not exaggerated in the slightest. You can trust us.
The US intelligence community's top election security official appears to have overstated the intelligence community's formal assessment of Russian interference in the 2020 election, omitting important nuance during a briefing with lawmakers earlier this month, three national security officials told CNN.
The official, Shelby Pierson, told lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election with the goal of helping President Donald Trump get reelected.
The US intelligence community has assessed that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election and has separately assessed that Russia views Trump as a leader they can work with. But the US does not have evidence that Russia's interference this cycle is aimed at reelecting Trump, the officials said.
"The intelligence doesn't say that," one senior national security official told CNN. "A more reasonable interpretation of the intelligence is not that they have a preference, it's a step short of that. It's more that they understand the President is someone they can work with, he's a dealmaker."
It's a good thing our news media is not hyperbolic at all.
The president is a Russian operative.
That sounds like the description of a bad Hollywood screenplay, but it is real, and it is Vladimir Putin's greatest achievement...
This is one of those shocking news days, if you retain the capacity to be shocked in the Trump era, by the Trump regime, which might be better labeled the Trump/Putin regime... and Richard Grenell will be replacing Joseph McGuire, who was serving as acting Director of National Intelligence, and he expected to be nominated by the president to be confirmed by Mitch McConnell's Senate as the official Director of National Intelligence until Vladimir Putin showed Donald Trump that he needed an even more incompetent director of national intelligence because Vladimir Putin is working hard to reelect his favorite president of the United States in history.
Where's the moose and the squirrel when we need them?

Comments
Jimmy Dore is a Russian!
oh boy, I had Putinchen under my bed, because I love him
so much, but now I love Jimmy the Russian even more. What should I do? Follow the polygamist's desires to have two lovers?
Thank you, Jimmy Dore, and thanks you, gjohnsit, to post this here right now. I feel a little more confident to trust my guts.
Thanks gjohnsit. You are a great international C99percenter community's asset!

One of my favorite Boris & Natasha exchanges...
Natasha: Boris, how are we going to steal car from moose and squirrel?
Boris: Easy, we are going into the used car business.
Natasha: On purpose?
Bernie-haters stages of grief
Apologies if this isn't appropriate for this thread
Or if someone already posted this. Chris Matthews apologises:

Nice
But he should have included the remarks about being shot in Central Park. Now Todd should do one for calling people brown shirts. And next time someone does that they should be cut off on air and then given a time out.
The Washington Generals should probably sue the Democrats for copyright infringement.
Chris made a mistake
He should have doubled down
Should have gone with theTwinkie defense
temporary insanity. Or maybe not as viewer might then notice how frequently he sounds insane.
So, he apologized for using a lame (and disgusting) historical analogy. That made him look stupid (and disgusting). What historical analogy did he really want to use? (Historical because he thinks that makes him look smart.)
Bernie's team is far more generous and conciliatory than I can be. (I almost never accept apologies for something done with the full intent to harm me or others, and thereafter, shun further contact with the person as much as possible.)
This is about what
Guaranteed that if a true lefty had made those comments about a Jewish centrist, he would have been gone that night. Ditto for Chuck Todd and the brown shirts.
That conservative guy on Rising has it right -- it's now an embarrassment to work at Msnbc.
Matt Taibi in rollingstone has a take on Russia that is good.
Russia Isn’t Dividing Us — Our Leaders Are
It is worth going over and reading it I think, but here is a taste:
Hey if Vlad wants me to have MFA and other nice things
then who am I to disagree with him? I'd gladly ditch my worker's comp insurance for MFA. Get the insurance company out of making medical decisions for me!
The Washington Generals should probably sue the Democrats for copyright infringement.
Big Fan of Boris & Natasha and Rocky & Bullwinkle
… when I was a kid. My favorite episode was when Boris & Natasha got loose in the Nation's Capital with something called "Goof Gas" and starting spraying it in certain government institutions. They released some at the White House, then at the DoD, then they show Boris and Natasha in the Senate or Congressional galleries, listening to some Congressional debate, and Natasha asks Boris: "Boris, darling, when are you going to let loose with the Goof Gas?"
And Boris replies: "Not needed. Looks like someone got here first."
Just found a link to the episode here: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=boris+and+natasha+goof+gas&view=det...
It's a pretty serious situation, actually
