At this point, they will throw EVERY distraction. Stay together! Stay woke!

I don't give a flying rat's ass if they are trying to wedge us apart on choice issues (they've tried) LGBTQ issues (they've tried) old primary issues (that's their 'go-to') and, most importantly,

The fucking media, who enabled this shit, are going to try and smooth this over so that they can obfuscate their responsibility for this shit. They don't want to do the NEWS. They *just* want to do the *ratings*. Your time and attention is the most important resource you have...and it's more valuable than money. Do *not* give them your attention.

If those wedge-issue motherfuckers come to you and say, "Bernie really won the primary. HRC cheated", say "Russia".

If those wedge-issue motherfuckers come to you and say, "Nancy Pelosi wants to make the dems anti-choice", say, "Russia".

If those wedge-issue motherfuckers come to you and say, "Saying Donald Trump's mouth is a holster for Valdmir Putin's penis is homophobic", say, "Russia".

If those wedge-issue motherfuckers come to you and say, "They messed with our voter files, with disnfo, with misinfo, but they absolutely stopped short of fucking with our voting equipment", Say, "Russia"

If those wedge-issue motherfuckers come to you and say, "There is absolutely nothing to the Russia story", say "Russia"

Because right now, these motherfuckers want to try an talk about *ANY* and *EVERY* other thing.

It's Russia. This is a coup. This is treason. Do not let them divide and conquer us. Our Constitution does NOT get end run for espionage.

AND IT SURE AS SHIT DOESN'T GET END RUN FOR TREASON. Oh, and if those wedge-issue motherfuckers come to you and say, "it's not treason, because there is no war declaration" just let them know they're WRONG, and move right on to "Russia".

Because we are at war right fucking now, whether they want to admit it or not.

Divide and conquer is what they do. Tether that chicken to *them*. Don't let them divide us.

5. tRump voter quote

They have his arms tied! He cannot do anything that he wants to do!

That's right I say! Lame duck already! *quack* *quack*

Impeach this fraud/liar now!!

11. Said traitor is a rich old woman

Has loads of kids, grand kids, great grand kids BUT she never sees any which one of them!

Pissy old woman she is and filled with a hatred I was never aware of until There Was tRump!

SAD!

Good damn riddance! *sigh of relief*

6. I'm 29 and I don't know what "end run" means!

Does it mean like, "finished"?

[Locrian]

7. distraction

also don't forget

trump isn't the only problem - there are plenty more criminals/evil/mental midgets to replace him
they will use this distraction to make deals and make power plays

the wallstreet - finance etc puppet masters will work behind the scenes (recent close door appointment ) to further grab and loot the country

russia is playing EVERYBODY. including trump and the gop. it's not over with trump - we're in deeply a compromised positon

it's an all out crisis and "shock doctrine" in progress

18. Seriously. this.

[apnu]

13. I'm in a FB group that's a wild west shoot out of various political groups

And the Trump supporters are desperate to talk about anything other than Russia. When the topic of GOP silence came up about the Russian connections they all went into "Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation!" mode. We all laughed them off.

What desperate tools.

[LaydeeBug]

15. some of us were saying this since the election (sic) coup. Tether that chicken

to those motherfuckers.

[Codeine]

19. I can't stand the proliferation of the term "woke".

It smacks of adults trying entirely too hard to be youthful. Other than that I enjoyed your rant!

[LaydeeBug]

20. Auntie Maxine deemed it, so it is so. LOL.

[Hekate]

26. That's all right then

[LaydeeBug]

27. She talked about how the millennials tell her she keeps them 'woke'

Re: Divide and conquer is what they do. Tether that chicken to *them*. Don't let them divide us.

I agree that people are being divided and conquered. Fear is also a good tool to keep people divided.

[LaydeeBug]

22. Yes. This. Welcome to DU StanleyBolten!

[Hekate]

24. I should Magic-marker your advice around the edges of my computer, as should we all...

If those wedge-issue motherfuckers come to DU and say (insert here), say "Russia."

Did you read the Forbes article posted here today? Putin putin putin

[LaydeeBug]

25. That artcile is scary AF, and they *are* here

It's crazy, because I never paid attention to that other site or whatever, and I'm not sure if it's them, or an uptick in bots, but there is divide and fucking conquer going on here all day long.

It's almost like bullying.

[blueinredohio]
