As we approach an election year, I remind you that the woman in this photo is Dr. Jill Stein

Never, ever, ever trust Greens. They are a Republican front. Period.

Video has emerged of Russian president Vladimir Putin and Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad having a laugh at President Trump’s expense during Putin’s visit to Damascus last week.
“If Trump arrives along this road [to Damascus], everything will become normal with him too,” Assad said, according to a translation of the conversation. Putin then quipped that Trump would jump at the offer and if not, he’ll convince him to visit the country’s capital. “It will be repaired… invite him. He will come.” Assad replied that he’s ready to invite Trump. Putin then smiles and says, “I will tell him.”

The inspiration for the joke was the biblical story of the Apostle Paul, who was struck blind by God while on a road to Damascus, only later to be transformed into a follower of Christ.

More of their "divide and conquer" agenda. They already know there are more of us than them or they wouldn't be so nervous.

It's also why the RW are constantly cheating.

I'm not impressed with Stein's Dr. status. That means she has something in common with Josef Mengele and H.H. Holmes.

voting machines and tabulators, right-wing media takeover, crooked Supreme Court decisions, crooked Secretaries of State such as Katherine Harris had anything to do with manipulating elections?

Democracies are stronger when there are multiple political parties rather than just 2.
