You have to see this.
It just cracks me up. Wired.com was all over Trump for being a Russian agent
2018
Did Russia Affect the 2016 Election? It’s Now Undeniable
In the indictment, Trump campaign officials are referred to as “unwitting” participants in Russian information warfare. This gives the White House an out—and a chance to finally act against what the Kremlin did. But the evidence presented in the indictment makes it increasingly hard to say Russian efforts to influence the American mind were a failure.
2019. The hysteria grows
Trump Must Be a Russian Agent; the Alternative Is Too Awful
What we haven’t seen in any of these instances (and many others) is the “why.” That’s where we’ll ultimately learn the truth about which scenario we face: an incredibly hapless and easily coopted president—or an active criminal conspirator. Why was Manafort funneling campaign polling data through Konstantin Kilimnik? Why does Mueller believe Kilimnik is tied to Russian intelligence? Why does the US believe the Russian president himself approved the attack?
Well, a month ago Bernie Sanders was briefed that Russia was trying to help his campaign
Wired.com: 2020 Russia? Did someone say Bernie?
Russia Doesn’t Want Bernie Sanders. It Wants Chaos
If there’s one line intelligence officials have stuck to about Russian interference in US elections, it’s that it never stopped. Not after the 2016 election, not after the 2018 midterms, and certainly not now, well into the 2020 primary season. Which is why it should be no great surprise that, as The Washington Post first reported Friday, US officials warned Bernie Sanders that Russia is “attempting to help” his presidential campaign. It also shouldn’t be read as any kind of endorsement.
This is really amusing. Wired.com has it this way- Russian interference meant Trump was a Russian agent, but when it came to Bernie, it was something other than Bernie being a Russian agent, despite the fact that Bernie Sanders’ philosophies are much more aligned with Russia’s than Trump’s ever were.
They actually finally got it right but only because their ox was being gored.
The Russian goal is and always was the same
“The strategic goal of this alleged conspiracy, which continues to this day, is to sow discord in the U.S. political system and to undermine faith in our democratic institutions,” said U.S. Attorney Zachary Terwilliger.
Russia does want chaos. That includes duping the feeble minded into believing the idiocy that Donald Trump is a Russian agent.
Russia was very successful at that.
Those who still believe it have their brains wired wrong.

@kitt, #48:
A million-million dollar deficit when the economy is good is a set up for disaster when it takes a downturn. We need to both raise taxes and cut spending.
@Deplorable Me: They just have to repost what they are told to write. They have no comprehension of what they copy and post.
@Greg: Name one time when the Democrats cut spending, greggie.
@Deplorable Me, #50:
Sanders has released the past 10 years of his tax returns. Trump is still hiding his own.
February 24, 2020 – ‘Dark Towers’ shines light on Deutsche Bank — financier of Trump, Kushner, and Russian oligarchs
@Greg: Democrats control spending right now. So, what’s the problem?
@Randy: Notice how he missed a great chance to address his Soviet-loving communist candidate on Putin’s May Day Card list. THAT’S how important Russian interference is to them.
@Greg: Are not able to read? You advocate for cutting spending, but name one time greggie when the democrats cut spending.
What does publishing a persons tax returns have to do with their job performance? Shifty published his and wasted millions of dollars and passed no bills. Is that performing his job well?
@Deplorable Me: greggie has not received his talking points on that topic yet!
@Randy, #53:
Every year that Obama was in office, federal per capita spending was lower than the final year of the George W Bush administration. You might also compare the years of the Clinton administration with those of George H W Bush.
@Deplorable Me:Bill Please show where Bernie has EVER avowed he is a Communist—Thanks RW
As I see it—The MAJORITY of people in this country do not want Donald Trump to be President and will vote vote for whoever is the nominee—
@Greg: You mean the year of TARP? That’s kind of a dishonest comparison, don’t you think? Especially in light of the fact that TARP was PAID BACK while Obama just left his $10 trillion in wasted debt to Trump.
@Rich Wheeler: Now that would be political suicide, wouldn’t it? No, Bernie doesn’t say that out loud. But what does praising the Soviet Union, praising Cuba, praising Castro and praising Noriega SCREAM? COMMUNIST. Will you vote for a COMMUNIST? Particularly, a communist that promotes $15 an hour wage but won’t pay his own people $15 an hour and promotes political violence?
@Rich Wheeler: Not what he said, quote: How will you feel about an avowed communist, dictator-praising lover of the Soviet Union, who is getting support from Putin, being your candidate? He praised Castro the murderer of many thousands in Cuba, Admired and praised the Soviet system as well, tens of thousands killed by that regime.
Bernie doesnt care how those governments were established, or maintained control, he loves them.
Many of Bernies brainfarts are very communistic, I would expect you to be fighting him tooth and nail, but….
@kitt:Poorly written sentence and open to interpretation
We can agree Bernie has never claimed to be a Communist—-though Trump has claimed to be a Christian.lol
@Deplorable Me: The last Socialist party candidate for President of the US, Norman Thomas, he was a six time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party, said this in a 1944 speech: The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of “liberalism” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist platform until one day America will be a socialist nation without knowing how it happened.
Jimmy Carter was never going to be the left’s favorite candidate. On the eve of the 1976 elections, Michael Harrington, the leader of the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee had called on leftists to vote for Carter “without illusions.
Those commies creep up on you through the rice patties.
Kennedy would puke his guts out looking at his party today then sign up as a Republican or right wing independent.
Kitt—I assure you John F. Kennedy would never support Donald J. Trump—neither would Ronald Reagan.
@Richard Wheeler: You going to answer the question? Your reluctance is developing into your answer.
@kitt: Democrats WANT socialism, they are just afraid of saying it out loud. Rich will support Bernie; he already has. Socialism is the modern miracle; everything is free and the evil wealthy will be skinned to pay for it. They’ll just stupidly keep working, risking, sweating, winning and losing just so they can turn 75% of what they earn over to Bernie so lazy nere-do-well’s can have free stuff. They don’t care how close to communist dictators or Putin he is. Free, free, free.
@Deplorable Me: I will vote for any of the top 7 Dems over Trump.
I’ll vote Tulsi on 3/3
@Richard Wheeler: True, but the alternative was too awful to contemplate, this time around same damn thing.
Only democrats can save their party from the top down brother then sifted through.
Trump its all about ego is easy to figure out and easy to manipulate just show him the way to win, to give him something to brag on.
At least you can look at the costs of these pie in the sky promises and know the costs would destroy the economy, so if empty promises is all they have why do they deserve your vote? What is in the platform that will improve our beloved country?
Mini-Mike i nothing but a blow hard running on nothing but beating Trump, while trying buying the presidency. With his financial ties to China, he is questionable at the very best a petty bully that chooses what size soda you can buy. How did that help NYC?
Wheres Tulsi did she suspend?
@Richard Wheeler: So, you would support a Soviet-loving, Casto-loving, Ortega-loving socialist with Putin’s support over someone with a proven record of improving conditions for Americans. Gotcha.
Now, let’s not hear any more from YOU about Trump getting help from Putin. We all know that would be nothing but total bullshit, just like it has always been.
@Deplorable Me: Yes, Yes he would such is his hate for his country, he would see it destroyed rather than 4 more years of prosperity that has no identity politics attached to it. No destructive liberalism.
Government not attacking nuns caring for the elderly. Parents forced to accept their childs gender dysphoria disease, making them pay for castration drugs. He loves that stuff. And commies lovers more commies lovers in our government thats how he will vote.
@Deplorable Me: I believe Trump is the most divisive President in modern history.
He’s an arrogant liar—-lacking compassion and any moral center—treats dictators better than our strongest allies–pulls out of Paris accord
NEEDS TO GO—-Dems, INDIES AND SANE REPUBS need to get out and vote—particularly women who will decide the winner.
I agree with Repubs Clint and Arnie in their evaluation of Trump.
@Greg: No greggie, what was cut besides destroying the military?
@Randy:
Wheeler said:
Really, that’s the dumbest statement I think Wheeler has EVER made. He’s not going to believe that Bernie is a Communist unless Bernie tells him he’s a Communist. Never mind that Bernie loooooves all the dictators like Castro. Just listen to Bernie. Anyone with two grey cells bumping together knows that Bernie labeling himself a Democratic Socialist is wordsmithing for Communist.
“Socialism is the first step toward Communism”
Vladimir Lenin
@Richard Wheeler:
So, how is Trump responsible for the way whiny, crybaby, sore loser Democrats choose to behave? Trump’s only responsibility is that he won. That’s it. That’s all he did. ALL the divisiveness comes from Democrats, throwing a tantrum because Trump will not pursue a liberal agenda. How is that Trump’s fault?
More importantly, how does that justify voting for someone that has taken the side of any and all adversaries of the United States at every opportunity? How does that justify voting for a communist who loved the Soviet Union? How does that justify someone that is pledging to destroy the economy not only of the United States, but the world?
@Deplorable Me: Rich lost all sense of reasoning long ago.
@Randy: Checkout #22, I was a Ted Cruz backer, I didnt become a never Trumper, I would never betray the country by voting anything close to socialist.
Richie thinks I should carry a grudge over what Trump said about Sen Cruz, if Cruz can get over it I think I can. Cruz was one of Trumps most ardent backers against the impeachment, saving separation of powers in the fight.
Vive la République!
@kitt: Like Bernie, these people support anything that hurts America. This is why nothing but garbage rises to the top of the Democrat field; wrecking the United States is their moral duty.
@Deplorable Me: Happy Fat Tuesday, we see more attacks on Christian celebrations in Europe this time a high capacity Mercedes German media has also cited witnesses who said they had the impression that the driver was targeting children.
@kitt: No doubt the kids were white supremacists that had it coming. Or maybe he read some of O’Rourke’s stories.
@Deplorable Me: We can agree Trump and Sanders are polar opposites. The Democrat media is spinning a fake debunked narrative on Russia again.
@kitt: Ted is the ultimate pol
Bet his wife hasn’t forgot the sleazy comments Trump made about her.
Ted lucky his father not around to respond to Trump’s false and slanderous assertions.
Trump is without doubt the sleaziest man to ever secure The Presidency—and he hasn’t changed a bit in 3 years
re Bernie socialist he is commie he is not—- respect to Lenin first kiss long way from BEING pregnant
Got at least 4 Dems I prefer over Bernie—doubt he’ll get nom but iF the old guy pulls it off—all respect–he’ll get my vote over DT WHO HAS GOT TO GO.
@Richard Wheeler: I just dont understand someone from Commifornia, the politics there cant be allowed to spread like a virus.
Go potty train your citizens.
Ted had a series of podcasts, unless you watched a single one, you are ill informed.
@Richard Wheeler:
Ted, and Heidi, both know that politics is a blood sport.
As does Rafael.
Wow! I thought Bubba Clinton held that title. Guess getting a bl**job in the Oval Office by someone not his wife was A-OK with you. Or losing his law license and having to pay out a hefty sum of $$ to make one of his accusers to go away in Arkansas, was also A-OK with you. Clearly, your TDS has clouded your vision as to what constitutes real sleaze.
You’re so full of crap. Bernie is a true blue Commie, he just gives it a different label.
You voted for Bernie in the 2016 California primary. You had different options then. Why not now?
Just read how that great state of yours is going to pay out $50 MILLION due to a law suit because the state neglected to educate minority children who were low income. Ain’t Socialism (as being thrust on Californians) great?
@ktt:
Kitt, it took Trump to put California farmers before the delta smelt. People before fish; what a concept.
@Richard Wheeler: Cruz no doubt considers himself fortunate not to be called, falsely and on a regular basis, a traitor, racist, misogynist and criminal. Cruz got light treatment from Trump compared to what Democrats do. Odd you pretend some name calling bothers you. In fact, you VOTE for it.
I guess you were in a coma during the Clinton administration. On a different perspective, Obama was the sleaziest, weaponizing every aspect of our government to serve his personal needs. No, Trump needs to stay; he needs to finish cleaning the rat’s nest that Obama left behind out.
If Bernie isn’t a communist, he does a very good imitation. No, he IS communist and given the chance, he would do all he could to turn the United States into his Soviet idol. Putin is offering to help, yet this does not disqualify him to you.
@retire05: Richie would vote for Sanders if he praised Hitler who also called himself a socialist. Richie like Lenin no shocker.
@retire05: Rich finally crossed the divide. He has gone all in for socialism. I wonder if he was working for the commies while in Nam? Next thing you know, he will be hosting a Jane Fonda film festival.
@Rich Wheeler:
That is not what he says, Rich. I think you’re drinking too much of the CNN kool-aid, seeing what you want to see.
@Randy: Socialism is not Communism—let me know if you need a primer on that Col. Many socialists fighting the commies in V.N.
Nathan —I.ve never heard Trump confirm that the Russians tampered with 2016 election—-have you? I clearly heard him agree with Putin’s disclaimer.
05—Didn’t think Bernie had a chance in hell in 2016—-Thought HRC would easily beat DT BUT I wasn’t gonna support her.—Give Bernie a punchers chance at nom–about 3-1 against There is no sure winner and Trump as incumbent should be favored against Dem nom.–whoever it is.
Kitt–you be sure to let me know when Bernie praises Hitler lol
@Richard Wheeler:
Excuse your vote all you want, Wheeler, but the fact remains that you had other options (at least four more) beside Bernie the Bolshevik. You obviously were comfortable with him winning the nomination. Says more about you than you think.
@Richard Wheeler: Was Castro a kinder dictator as he murdered and raped stole private property and imprisoned people, real nice guy set up reeducation programs! So refuse to say you wouldnt vote for him if he praised Hitler. He lost the Cuban vote in Florida at the very least.
Another Dem debate bunch of rude ignoramuses. Amy couldnt be more rude butting in and yammering well past alloted time over and over and over. Why the hell was Steyer even there they ignored him very well.
Biden inarticulate braggart.
@Richard Wheeler: Maybe you need to look at the progression of socialism, but that would require scholarship, reasoning and intelligence.
@retire05: i’ll take Bernie over Hillary every time.—and over Trump–I’ll vote for Tulsi Tues-
Randy Now you’re changing your assertion—Socialism is not Communism—–progression? you mean like good night kiss leads to a wife and 3 kids?–possible but highly unlikely.
@Richard Wheeler:
Damm… what a short, misguided, revised memory. Were it not for the DNC stacking the deck, he would have beat Hillary. But the DNC didn’t want him (they wanted a criminal liar), and they don’t want him now.
Hitler was socialist, not communist. Bernie only praises communists, though he sure seems to love many of Hitler’s tactics.
When those are you’re choices, you have the wrong party. When your choices are what was on the stage last night, it’s time to disavow that disgusting party.
@Randy: Marx viewed Socialism as a step to Communism. The evolution from Capitalism to Communism was supposed to be: Capitalism- Socialism- Communism. Private wealth/property/free markets (i.e. Capitalism) was supposed to be taken and re-distributed by the government (state ownership) to make society “equal” (Socialism). Once the re-distribution of wealth occurred and an “equal/classless society” was created, there was no longer a need for government thus creating the “ideal society” (Communism). Communist governments and socialist governments are both in the Socialist stage because according to Marx, under true communism, there was no need for government. The former Soviet Union, a Communist country, was called the “Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics” for a reason. It’s actually quite laughable when a socialist criticizes communism or a communist criticizes socialism because they are two peas in a pod attempting the same thing.
@another vet:Of course, you have to have capitalism FIRST, otherwise socialism has nothing to leach off of.
@Deplorable Me: Yep. The very system they despise makes their “utopia” possible. Gotta love it when the left tells us how well socialism worked in Europe conveniently forgetting the fact that they didn’t have to pay much for their defense because we had over a half a million troops over there protecting them from the Commies. Had they had to pay their own bill, they either wouldn’t have the money to spend on their “free stuff” or they would have went bankrupt a long time ago. Socialism leaching off of capitalism for sure.
@kitt: Bloomberg had an outstanding town hall tonight—–I think he’ll win nom and beat Trump
@Richard Wheeler: Bloomberg is awful at debates, cant really think on his feet.
Glad you enjoyed your talking heads.
I watched our President give a presser on the Kung flu. After the top dems of both houses irresponsibly said Trump had no plan adding to confusion and fear, perhaps the drop in the markets. What a pair they are NY and Cali picks. San Fran declares a state of emergency without a single corona case…WTF is the National guard going to be called to wash the sh!t off the streetsand pick up used free needles? Make the city a tiny bit more sanitary?
@Richard Wheeler: Yep, Bloomberg has it all; billionaire, racist, misogynist… a true Democrat hypocritical windfall.
Not long ago, you were touting Biden as the sure thing. Just sayin’.
@Deplorable Me: Im sure they gave mini mike all the questions in advance, none too hard, like why havent you married that poor woman yet, she cant say cause of a NDA. 😉
@Deplorable Me: You may want to lay off of Rich. It is likely he can not remember what he said a few minutes ago.
