Well that settles it
Who are you to question Captain America?
And yes, that is a real news story.
So is this one.
But if you really want to sum it up, I suggest headlines like these.
It brings up the important question: What happens when we are all Russian bots?
Oh wait, we already have the answer to that question.
American descendants of slaves identifying themselves with the hashtag #ADOS have been openly critical of 2020 presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Cory Booker over the past weeks.Some prominent black political commentators are now speculating that these critics are Russian bots.
Angela Rye, a CNN political commentator and board member of the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, has said she believes that some ADOS arguments are not organic, but were “paid for by Russia.” She added that she’s “not saying everyone who uses the hashtag is a Russian bot,” but she does believe “it originated from Russian bots.”
...
On a segment of Joy Reid’s MSNBC show titled “how to spot a bot,” Shireen Mitchell, founder of Stop Online Violence Against Women, argued that the ADOS hashtag is a way to identify foreign influence. “A lot of the ones that are pretending to be black people, black women in particular, who are focusing on black identity, have these sort of aspects in the ways that they’re talking about language,” she said. She went on to say that bots are posing as black Americans using “the vernacular or the language of someone that believes they are a part of our community” to claim authority to represent black Americans.“This has become a challenge particularly for the Democratic candidates because obviously, in 2016, all this activity was directed to help Donald Trump, or to hurt Hillary Clinton, to do both,” Reid said.
Could MSNBC and CNN pundits, the very same pundits that repeatedly slandered and lied about Sanders supporters, be disingenuous?
Not when we are talking about Russia.
Moore said that accusations like Reid’s are a McCarthyite tactic in the same vein as the attempts to publicly discredit Martin Luther King Jr. “It’s troubling, the lengths that these people will go to undermine authentic Black advocacy in order to prop up the Democratic establishment,” he said in an email. An MSNBC spokesperson declined to comment.Indeed, people of color who challenge the Democratic Party from the left are often erased or dismissed as somehow not being real. During the 2016 Democratic primary, the hashtag #BernieMadeMeWhite spread as a response to the “Bernie Bro” stereotype, which wrongly claimed that nearly all Bernie Sanders supporters were young white men.
Being black and a woman won't protect you from being slandered when you dissent on the only "identity" that matters - partisan loyalty.
People of any color who challenge the Democratic Party from the left are bigger enemies than Republicans.
You see, "moderates" are the most rabidly partisan.
This is the exact opposite of what the news media tries to sell us, and yet it is obvious.
With little of ideological substance to distinguish them from their opponents, partisan tribal-based politics is the only game in town.

Well so much for the Dimocrits promise
to ‘change’.
Fuckwits didn’t learn one damn thing after the last election.

Harris is already lining up super delegates
just like Her did. Well at least Harris waited until she declared unlike Her who did it before she did and while she was still giving paid speeches to the banks. Barbara Lee is getting slammed for joining Harris' campaign as the woman who was a big part of the civil rights movement. People are patiently waiting for John Lewis to line up behind her.
Nope. Not a damn thing has changed since last election. So either the fix is in for Harris or the super delegates will split and Hillary will be installed at the convention. I'm still going with this. Especially since she is still paying her staff.
saw a tweet that Harris was here in Chaz today
I thought that the Rooshian invasion of DC was successfully
repelled by a fearsome counter attack carried out by Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Imran Awan. How did they sneak back in?

a facebook post from a friend
I like the guy, really. I've known him for a long time. I'm not sure, though, where his head is at, with posts like this...
"Heard an interesting comment that a lot of this anti-vaxxing argument is being perpetrated via Russian troll farms that seek to sow divisiveness and distrust in the US...and have found a receptive audience. Given what we are learning these days about such intervention in our public life, I would not be surprised."
It indicates that anything out of mainstream thinking can be dismissed by claiming, with no evidence of course, that it's from a russian bot.

Only RT covers Gabbard's new bill, “INF Treaty Compliance Act”
Makes sense when you're against “exacerbating a new Cold War” .

they just haven't a clue as to how/why
that will occur.

I predicted that in 2015, but now I'm not sure.
Trump Derangement Syndrome just might allow the Democrats 4 more years or so to enable the Republicans and the oil and weapons masters to destroy everything.
Thanks Donald!
On to Biden since 1973
Calm before the Storm
This is the scary part:
They know we know. They know we know that they know we know.
And their still doing it.
My guess is this (along with WoB) is just the beginning. My tinfoil-brain guess is there will be a mass purge from Twitter, Reddit, Book-Face et al. All in the name of protecting us from Russian meddling.
Will they come for C99? Would not be surprised if they do, Comrades.
Happy Friday.

Why isn't Cap America saying Trump is a Corporate Puppet?
Oh wait, before Trump and the Russians America looked like a Rockwell painting. America was Bush giving Michelle a candy in an act of racial harmony.
Cap, I love ya, but Disney owns your soul now...
Seeing as you wisely didn't re-up when your tour was over, I think Captain America should be more Smedley Butler and less General Ripper. (Either One)

The diabolical Putin has had his chemists modify their Novichok nerve gas into Goof Gas and the Rooskis have secretly released it in America.
