... back to the FSB and Putin.

It's part of what has me spooked.

"Spook" ? Isn't that used for Russian spies or any kind of spy...?

Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland

Perfectly..

I am getting PhD in Russia studies. It is all falling into place.

have to do with talk radio and need to keep in mind that the kremlin may have been using talk radio for years

corsi, credico, stone, manafort were all talk radio operatives - not social media pros.

manafort was campaign cochair for mccain. did he get mccain to pick palin, who was being wooed by russian oil and gas, by getting limbaugh to withold support until palin was the choice? minutes after mccain announced palin, limbaugh announced his support , just in time to save the GOP convention

why was the name 'hannity' redacted from the mueller report glossary? a completely redacted name and description is there between graf and hawker but he was mentioned enough times incidentally to warrant being listed.

2009 'climategate' hoax started from a russian hack, went to wikileaks, and then within 5 days was being blasted out by limbaugh for a full week, in time to derail obama at copenhagen and saving putin many billions in fossil revenue

why would trump pay hack lawyer sam nunberg to listen "to 1000s of hrs of talk radio" in 2014, the same year a russian troll said he "got a list of topics to write about"?

why would american billionaires want limbaugh to spend 2 months pushing for debt default in 2011?

was the tea party a russian construction?

and so on

including spreading a story suggesting obama and clinton ordered embassy guards around the world not to carry live ammo. the talk radio gods spread that probably being too stupid to realize they were encouraging terrorist attacks on US embassies. who would start that kind of disinformation? marines spokesman had to come out and call it bullshit but i heard an local radio bozo repeat it again after that, tto stupid to realize. not sure if limnbaugh repeated that but hannity did. that's the kind of thing the kremlin might want to stir up, and could, with calls to national shows, social media, etc.

in oct 2014 mueller report guy jerome corsi wrote daily columns for rw rag world net daily yelling about obama bringing ebola into the country and talk radio was big in spreading that ebola scare - and it helped republicans in the elections. this year sociall media has been blamed for inciting local congolese to attack ebola clinics and allow it to spread. at the same time, limbaugh and sons were talking about congolese immigrants joining the cravans 'invading' the southern border. that's the kind of crap they can ramp up for the 2020 election to give trump an excuse to 'postpone' the election.

a lot of the russian trolling campaigns are going to piggyback old talk radio repetition - they'd be stupid not to - so the social media companies might want to start studying talk radio and save some money

Here's the difference. Russian assets have a transactional relationship with their handlers. You give me something. You get something.

Trump has sworn allegiance (has Russian citizenship) to Russian which makes him an agent. His loyalty goes beyond a transaction. I believe this is why he doesn't want his financial docs released to Congress and state investigative agencies. This also explains his birtherism.

He is such a fucking traitor.

Never heard that

It would make sense. Every thing he accuses others of is something he is even deeper into.

But i never heard it either. It makes no sense. It doesnt get him anything unless he needed it to put up a hotel....

it was flat out, straight up racism that fueled birtherism.

Either Trump managed to scrub the entire internet, or that's a fallacy. I hate the guy, but I want to keep my reasons for hating him truthful and honest, the two things Trump knows nothing about.

I'm not sure why you're making that claim, but there's zero evidence of it.

"This also explains his birtherism."

No, that's racism.

Trump has dual citizenship? Nah, put up or sit down.

He maybe more than a Russian asset, but there is no indication he has citizenship in Russia. Trump has no proven businesses in Russia but Russia has business in Trump.

Putin is the richest man in the world. Trump wants to be the richest man in the world. Trump kisses Putin's ass because he admires the dick, mass murderer and mobster. Trump wants to control the US like Putin controls Russia.

This is the end game of capitalism. Regional monopolies expand to control government, financing, the justice system. Making the corporation the de facto ruler. The corporation's owner eventually comes out. Putin is the owner of Russia Inc. Trump wants to be the owner of US Inc.

So, we will see the usual low-hanging fruit being picked here, but will the stuff up top get fill be put in the bushel, too?

This tree really needs to get chopped down, though. It's infested with red worms.

Our attention will be elsewhere

and played along with the cover-up and ultimate betrayal of our democracy

Shakespeare couldn't pen a better tragedy

DoJ rules say he can't indict, so he plays along and tries to weasel word the report to push the Dems to impeach.

So much for the straight shooting ex Marine protecting his country.

Comey was even worse to cover his own ass without risking anything beyond leaving the cesspool.

☹

Weekend bbq's could have gotten testy.

so much trust and confidence in Mueller.

What we saw in 2016 was an ultra far right coup and it wasn't just a few people who were involved, it was hundreds, maybe thousands working to throw the election to Trump. It's going to take decades to unravel this mess and find out all of the major players who were involved, and we may never find out the whole truth.

if we ever want to restore a viable level of trust in our democracy. I’m not sure we can ever heal from this without that ... and appropriate accountability.

If Trumpo manages to get this impeachment thing in front of the Supreme Court, anything less than Justice Roberts smacking him down while explaining the term Co-Equal branches of government means the USA is DEAD. Remember this.

compelled to find some good or else I'd be lost in despair. I really, really, really hope this nightmare will soon end, but I fear we're at the stage that Churchill was after the Second Battle of El-Alamein, "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

Despair is always close by, looking for a way in. I refuse to let myself go there. Like you, I would be lost. Your animal videos definitely help. They remind us that there's still so much good in the world, and help us to smile and sometimes laugh. Thank you for that.

often despair at the daily nightmare animals live. I wish when people post stories about cruelty whether at the hands of humans or nature in the wild, they might suggest Triggering. Such stories can be triggering for animal lovers. I used to force myself to witness, but no longer can.

Your stories that occasion joy, show us how human compassion for an animal made a difference, attest to animal empathy and intelligence, these provide needed counter to the awareness that
we are often powerless to help our human and animal fellows in their moment of need.

post begins with cruelty or neglect, they are always triumphant in the end. I get triggered by animal cruelty, too. And if and when I post a sad video, I always post a "Kleenex Alert." I can't even watch movies where an animal gets hurt or worse. I just can't do it. I'm completely turned off no matter how good the movie is supposed to be. I might have a personality defect or maybe it's because I'm an only child and my cat was my best friend when I was a kid, but I've always related to animals more than people. Nah, it's not because I was an only child. I grew up in a neighborhood full of kids and I was always so happy and relieved to go home to my own room at night, so it's probably the personality thing.

and you show that. Only child here too. Maybe my emotional state though and prior intense exposure when I was getting educated about animal welfare, activism...some have the ability to deal with it all graphically in order to try to stop it. But I can’t go there anymore and sleep.

I do wish movies would announce when they include cruelty—I depend on reviewers, usually
users of streaming.

Yes, you show triumph. The courage and love animals and humans demonstrate in relating to each other so inspires me and that the very worst cases can survive to be rescued and rehomed as your
recent post demonstrated.

Your hard work is appreciated. See you next story.

I hate animal cruelty,and cats being hurt trigger me so bad I want to beat the crap out of the abusers. I wish sometimes it was open season on animal abusers. I have a deep deep love for felines. They have saved my life multiple times. When I was living in a horrible home growing up cats loved me and kept the spark of love awake inside of me despite all the horrible shit that happened . I worship the ground cats walk on. Every cat is a god/goddess.

God/Goddess is peeping out. They are like beings from celestial spheres to me. I do worship them too. Cats and dogs. And birds.

I share your experience and feelings.

I love all animals, too. Sometimes I felt "lost in the crowd", but our dog was always there to hug and talk to. Thanks for all the videos.

It's not too late to turn this around. People are waking up now to see the madness of the RWNJs who did this to us. It cannot be allowed to continue.

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!

Of course, “this problems” likely are buy-partisan.

which is why they tried to goad us into it.

I could be wrong. Time will tell

and your kind words are very welcome. I am grateful for you...and for here

I have no doubt that this is making him even more crazy than usual!! I remember some crazy Dallas conservatives used to say JFK was 'dirty'. He wasn't but if anyone was ever labeled as 'dirty', it's fat Donnie!!!

Now I am proven right by clear facts. :p
