Feb 2019

Putin used Sanders big time to elect Trump. The Mueller investigation proved and reported that. And the people heading these Siamese twin dissident groups, Justice Democrats and All New (as in purge the Democrats we elected) Democrats were working for and with Sanders in 2015-16, KNOWING that Russia was using them and Trump to defeat Democrats.

They seem to have no shame, no compunction, no regret as they continue toward 2020. Of course, they will again be used in an attempt to defeat Democrats. It's up to us to make sure they don't succeed again.

I don't understand people who would support candidates Russia and our own new kleptocracy does. They seem to refuse to understand. Our enemies aren't stupid. They expect big returns on their big investments. Again.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
