Thanks, progree.. I c/p this for my journal.. Thomm Hartman on Russia

I remember him arguing that the reason Russia took Crimea was that Russia has a naval base there, and they were afraid to lose it. And then he went on to say that the U.S. would do the same thing -- annex Bahrain -- if we were worried about Bahrain closing our naval base there (headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet). That's pretty much when I lost it.

And he is always on the side of Russia against the Ukraine.

He has been arguing recently that there is no proof of Russian government agencies' involved in the hacking. Along with that clown Stephen Cohen as a guest.

I like Thom Hartmann a lot. But whenever he talks about anything to do with Russia, he has zero credibility. And it's not because he is on Russia Today. It's because of what he says.

ON EDIT: Bahrain, not Qatar.

I had no idea either.. Thank you!

Good night, Obama

No, he isn't the only one.. not by a long shot. That's the

problem..

We have Dems out there fighting for us too.. the spotlight shouldn't only be on BS.

Sanders shouldn't be making demands and using divisive, denigrating language..

He says we Dems lost because "we're out of touch"? But, he lost the Primary by all almost 4 Million Votes and Hillary won the GE by almost 3 Million votes. And, only lost the Electoral by about a 100,000 Votes.

So who is out of touch?

And, no one is "crabbing" as you so indelicately put it. We're voicing our opinion.

Am told Senate Republicans are mortified at the prospect of even one Trump nominee going down.

Why? They fear he'll go rogue on them

Thank you Rude!

You can stop explaining the white working class rural conservative Christian farming folk, hot-takers and self-justifiers. Instead, why don't you explain liberalism to them? Why don't you explain that jobs are drying up and communities are dying not because of abortion and same-sex marriage but because of Republican economic policies that have favored the wealthy, most of whom live in cities, including a certain president-elect they voted for who took advantage of those very policies in order to stay rich? Ultimately, though, it won't matter. Because despite every fucking word to the contrary, the real problem is that those who voted for Trump are racist. They are sexist. They are Islamophobic. They are ignorant.

The whole thrust of these "let's learn about the yokels" articles is to imply that there are real Americans and there are coastal elites. Sorry, motherfuckers. We're all Americans. And if I have to suffer under your stupid, you have to hear about our smarts.

Yeah, and he tells them in such a way that is false, denigrating, and

divisive.

He says we lost because "we're out of touch"? But, he lost the Primary by all almost 4 Million Votes and Hillary won the GE by almost 3 Million votes. And, only lost the Electoral by about a 100, 000 Votes.

So who is out of touch?
