The people who insist that Russia meddled in the election somehow never ever get around to specifically saying how the Russians did it.
Some idiot has just come out with a book, of course, and I made myself watch his interview this morning on one of the shows, hoping he would get around to saying exactly how the Russians did it. When you write a book on such a narrow topic, it should be easy to stretch out and give example after example of how it was accomplished.
Well, no. He mentioned Russians using social media to control how Americans think.
Now, all these millions of people using social media, along with the hundreds of millions of dollars of political advertising by the Hillary campaign was not able to approach the success of Russian attempts to control American thought.
And this after the near-divine Obama decreed that it was impossible for any nation to tamper with American elections.
Lindsey, you nitwit, what do you want from Putin a signed apology that some Russian citizen placed some Facebook ads? They had as much affect on the election as a butterfly fart in a hurricane.
Im kind of hoping Trump and Putin address the 2 ton elephant in the room.... How do they assasinate Soros and his sons without it looking obvious.
Uh-huh. So then Putin would just bring up what the US did during Yeltsin’s re-election campaign, which polls said Yeltsin would lose. Time magazine even had a big cover headline - “Yanks to the Rescue.”
Every country tries to influence elections in other major (or minor) countries, and the US does it all the time. Obama was a champion at this, even openly campaigning for his African Marxist Muslim favorites.
Russia is what it has always been, a vast territory that for some reason is under one rulership, and is both European and weirdly Asian.
I spent a long time among Russians in the US, most of them older Orthodox emigres who had fled first to China and then to Brazil and then to San Francisco. In New York, where I grew up, I had also met some wonderful people, such as Helena Iswolskaya, daughter of the Czar’s last minister to Paris. And then I worked in Cleveland, where one of the ancient men in the home that we ran for an Orthodox Church there (I think he was either from the Ukraine or from Carpathia, we had residents from both and I don’t recall) said that he remembered the czar coming on his white horse down to the miserable village where this man lived when he was about 8 or 9. The czar was liberating the peasants, but I doubt that the Czar ever came to this village and I think this was all from an elderly man’s enhanced memories.
But this doesn’t mean it wasn’t true in its essence. The man may have heard a story from other people in other places at that time, which was in fact when the serfs were being freed and programs were being set up to help them reestablsh themselves. Our resident would have been a teenager just prior to the Communist takeover, when the Marxists destroyed the whole thing, so maybe it’s true.
But I don’t know. The only thing I do know is that Communism is poison. You can recover from other things -such as nationalist movements like Franco’s, which actually protected Spain from American pro-Marxist pressure but excluded Spain from receiving aid - but made Spain a lot better positioned to become a democracy that other places under Marxist domination.
The message, boys and girls, is oppose Marxism.
Trump needs to take Little Linda over his knee and spank her real hard. These people are dangerously stupid.
Linda should win a presidency somewhere and then s/he can tell Putin whatever he wants.
Election meddling is probably not even on the agenda
The discussions will involve things associated with money
“Trump should take Lindsey along to the summit “
Hell, take him to Israel and have a discussion with that government about ‘election meddling’.
Exactly what proof do you confront Putin with after accusing him of lying, Linda? I know, take the proof Mueller dug up and doesn’t want to disclose in discovery.
Again, these so-called lawyers, who want to simply say “we know it happened” and let that be proof enough, amaze me.
Linda is trying to establish creds for his own run at the WH...nothing more, nothing less ...
