Gawd how I love RussiaGate. It's so perfect. They prevented HillKween from Slaying. They are responsible for all the online disinformation! They stole my pants. Goddamn Putin
maddow spent like 20 minutes rehashing the 2016 russian interference narrative and said nothing about the pied piper strategy, clinton not campaigning in wisconsin, nor last month's statement from putin about preferring biden to trump in the present.
i guess liberals can remember history more than a week if it's more convenient than what's actually happening.
Fascists need their enemies to be both strong and weak at the same time, liberals need them to be both nefarious strategic geniuses and absolute hole-in-the-ground idiots.
President Vladimir Putin said that Russia would prefer to see U.S. President Joe Biden win a second term, describing him as more experienced and predictable than Donald Trump — even though Moscow strongly disagrees with the current administration’s policies.
Putin’s comments during an interview with Russian state television Wednesday were his first about the upcoming U.S. presidential election, likely to pit Biden against Trump. They were rare praise for Biden, a fierce critic of the Russian leader who has frequently lauded Trump.
“Biden, he’s more experienced, more predictable, he’s a politician of the old formation,” Putin said, when asked which candidate would be better for Russia. “But we will work with any U.S. leader whom the American people trust.”
If a couple of 100.000 dollars' worth of Facebook ads can change the outcome of your election, then maybe that says a lot more about your political system than it does about the guys allegedly paying for the ads.
It really is wild that dems want to constantly rehash 2016 considering, ya know, they blew the easiest election in a century in plain view of everybody.
And the lesson the dems took from that was to double down on everything that made her lose.
Biden winning 2020 pretty much ossified the conviction in the minds of liberals that they were right all along and 2016 was a "fluke/Russian hack/left-wing failure...etc"
Completely ignoring of course the fact it was covid that tanked Trump, not Biden
In other news - libs love milking Trump's "bloodbath" soundbite. They can't seem to understand that betting worked up and frothing at the mouth about a one-word Trumpism is giving Trump yet more free media and making him live even more rent free in their heads.
It's really the perfect "I don't need to self reflect" answer for libs. Why is Trump winning? Is it because Biden is unpopular? No! It's because the bad guys are doing it.
Like, goddamn, Trump is the most American American to ever America. He is the indictment of how shitty this country can be. He's the low brow nouveau riche piece of shit this country produces. Tacky, gross, unpleasant, angry old white man. We mint motherfuckers like that. It's our goddamned national product.
Wait a fucking minute, is that Jen Psaki? Biden's press secretary for like 2-3 years, lied all the time to cover for him? I sure bet we can rely on her to be unbiased.
She went back to brunch so hard too. Biden got elected, and after she ran enough interference for him, she quit and got a job as a pundit on a 24 hour news channel
The funniest thing about Russiagate is that they couldn't come up with anything beyond, "the Russians are sowing discord by posting online about America". Not even hackers changing numbers or paying politicians off in a lobby group, just saying bad things to change people's mind in an election year. And liberals eat it up.
Russiagate is such a hot button topic for them too. They don't seem to ever ruminate the specific details of the "significant" role American intel agencies said Russia played in the election. And they ignore how that "significant" role becomes so minor with adequate context. I like to remind them that CNN gave Trump something like a billion dollars in free media in the 2016 campaign. And every media outlet was feeding on the "Trump news" trough to grab eyeballs, sell ads, etc.
Voting is still an essential tool of the bourgeois so they pretty much can’t say someone actually changed the outcome of the election otherwise elections themselves would be unnecessary.
Lin-Manuel Miranda is really dropping the football by not already having a 2016-themed musical called Hillary. Libs cannot get enough of her. More than anything else in the world - they want to her to win in 2016. And they'll never fully accept she didn't do it. These could be the lyrics to the lead song...
What if... (Oh, yes?) What if... (Say more.) What if... (Do tell!)
Hillary won! (Eff yeah!)
"Eff yeah" in matinees because children are more likely to be present but the full monty "Fuck yeah!" in evening performances. The Hillary merch shop instantly sells out of the two versions of the t-shirt every time they restock. And there's a bit of a scandal when LMM Productions starts aggressively suing even the tiniest stores (Esty, etc) for selling "Eff yeah"/"Fuck yeah!" t-shirts with the text in a font similar to the venerable HillaryFont™.
The media was absolutely desperate to try to make the primaries a horse race so now that they finally had to admit what everybody knew 8 months ago, that it was gonna be Biden Trump, they've gotta come up with sonething else and the Russian interfearance shit had every lib in the country learning the names of third string state department ghouls.
If we never got rid of smoking as a cultural instution we would be thinner and hotter and all these boomers would be dead from making deals in smoke filled rooms by now. Lung cancer would be a fair trade to end their reign
For those of us that are millennial it represented the peak of genX culture and we saw huge government programs to eradicate the vice so that cooked our brains. Now zoomers vape. It is funny
Damn, look at that photoshop job on Trump, I thought they were going for the "evil scary dictator" angle for their work, high contrast and intense lighting and such, not this "sad old man" angle, because if they try to do that, it will only make Biden stick out even more.
Holy shit, the MSM actually talks about Russian bots? I thought that just some dumb bullshit that perpetually-online libs said to quash any meaningful debate or criticism of the Dems.
Jacobin: Why the Twitter Files Are in Fact a Big DealOn the Left, there’s been a temptation to dismiss the revelations about Twitter’s internal censorship system that have emerged from the so-called Twitter Files project. But that would be a mistake: the news is important and the details are alarming.
I felt less insecure about my lack of a college degree when Ivy League educated libs that I knew were spouting Russiagate bullshit and how Bernie Bros cost the election.
