In reply to the discussion: Jill Stein looped into widening investigation of Russia and Trump Jr. connections [View all]BainsBane
(57,752 posts)So you're right on one point. Her name somehow appears in requests for documents related to Manafort and Don Jr. I find that strange. How I wonder is that even possible? I also wonder how she got money to run all the ads she did during the election? I hope Mueller is wondering about some of those same questions.
I do find it interested you site her word as supposed evidence. It is not. Then you turn around and dismiss her tweets crying persecution as playing to publicity. You're very selective in determining which of her comments are relevant.
Yes, Stein is an attention monger. She's also a gritter. Already a multi-millionaire, she conned people distraught about the election into giving her a fucking fortune and pocketed $10 million of it. She's yet another rich person that "progressives" insist must never be criticized, as we saw in the thread showing her sitting at the table with Flynn and Putin.
She's also a proven imbecile and compulsive liar. As her recitation of the most idiotic Kremlin propaganda demonstrates: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/06/jill-stein-is-starting-to-sound-a-lot-like-donald-trump
Then there was the time she tweeted a comment blaming Democrats for passing something not a single Democrat voted for.
She's a blight on the human race. We have people posting on this site insisting any criticism of her amounts to a "circular firing squad." That after calling for Feinstein's head and trying to replace Pelosi with an anti-choice, low corporate tax "progressive. Whereas you are certain that my asking those two questions amount to a "McCarthyite smear." Funny how I don't see you rise to the defense of Stein, Pelosi, Clinton, or any Democrats attacked on this site.
Gothmog has already explained to you how you were wrong about the lawsuit. He's an attorney with an interest in election law. I am not. I don't need to read legal decisions. Normal human beings do not. I will sometimes read SCOTUS rulings but there is no reason for me to spend my time reading rulings in a dismissed, frivolous lawsuit. There are thousands of books I've read that I'm sure you haven't. I don't assume non-specialists read literature in my field, yet you somehow insist average citizens are expected to read legal opinions to have an opinion. I believe that's what Sanders calls liberal elitism.
Spare me your persecution complex:
You are the only one associating that lawsuit with "Bernie and all of his supporters." I live in a community that overwhelmingly went for Sanders in the primary. The vast majority of them moved on and voted for Clinton. They didn't wage a lawsuit out of contempt for the democratic rights of their fellow citizens. They didn't appear on Infowars to complain about the evil Democratic party. Nor do they claim the DNC or Hillary Clinton killed Seth Rich. That is something fascist shit stains do. Not Bernie, not his 2016 primary supporters, but racist, misogynist pond scum.
I have no interest in reading your post over there. The fact you left it at JPR tells me everything there is to know about you.
