32. Russian meddling? Attacks? War? Literally doesn't bother me

Mon Jul 16, 2018, 12:27 PM

Jul 2018

I don’t blame the Russians in the least. It’s nonviolent, it’s effective, and the CIA has gone to far worse extremes in my lifetime, some very recently. If we could do the same thing to a Russian president, we would, and the people who did it would rightfully get medals.

No, what bothers me is the Americans involved. Trump, primarily, but all of his enablers: relatives, business associates, RW media. All of those people deserve very long prison terms, and many should never see the light of day again.

What I saw today? Disgraceful. More than simply disgraceful, it was a disgraceful bit of theater put on primarily for fascists here and abroad. George Soros! Hillary’s missing emails! Russia did nothing wrong! Assorted other lies!

Truly horrifying.

An Act of War dumbcat Jul 2018 #13

The Constitution is a living document and, obviously, the U.S. codes need to be updated louis c Jul 2018 #14
